[20:01] <13@DeathStar> Reality Adventures Day 1 Continues
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> Location: Desert
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be thinking hard about what direction to take
[20:02] <13@Kit> <Chii> Are we... there yet...? Okami above...
03[20:02] * Xanatos is now known as Kane
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> All I see is sand. Maybe we should go south now.
15[20:03] * 13Dias` kneels there for now, still trying to recover.
09[20:03] <13@Jennifer> "It's as good a direction as any... desert has to end sometime."
[20:03] <13@Kit> 6Chii puts a hand to her forehead, panting from the heat, squinting at the hazes over the ground. 1"...Uh, Cherry?"
[20:03] <13@Kane> Are you certain we're not going in circles?
[20:03] <13@Kit> <Chii> Yeah. Which direction is south, for that matter.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? 6* She eyes Chii now. Her hair is pulled back with a string
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well. It's below us, clearly.
[20:03] <13@Kit> <Lilith> I believe that is hell.
[20:03] <13@Kane> B..elow us?
[20:04] <13@Kit> 6Lilith looks to Cheryl, having said that with a straight face.
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stands on top of Raquel to keep her feet off the sand
[20:04] <13@Kit> 6Lilith frowns slightly at X. 1"I ... I was joking."
09[20:04] <13@Jennifer> "Well..."
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> <X> Oh.
15[20:04] * 13@Kane runs a hand over his head, despite not really sweating anymore, his lips are cracked from the heat and his eyes look a bit hazy. 1Regardless...we should continue
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks frazzled and miserible.
[20:05] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Lem, that compass thing still acting up?
09[20:05] <13@Jennifer> "Let's see... what time of day do you think it is?"
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I cannot seem to locate the crystal yet. Perhaps the distance is too far.
15[20:05] * 13Dias` looks over at X now as he pushes himself up. 1"Do you have enough energy to open up some ripples?
[20:05] <13@Kit> 6Chii peers upward, shielding her eyes. 1"...You can tell by the sun but... ugh.."
15[20:05] * 13@Jennifer looks up in the sky for the sun.
[20:06] <13@Kit> 6The sun seems closer than a normal earth-- or at least the heat and haze makes it seem so. It's blinding.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers up at the sun now. Her tactical suit transforms into a silky dress that keeps her skin safe, but the heat from gathering
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <X> No
15[20:06] * 13Dias` rubs his face. 1"There goes that idea...."
[20:07] <13@Kane> ... 6Kane takes a draw from his cantine, letting out a breath, looking severely dehydrated at this point.
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl trudges onward again
15[20:07] * 13@Kane slumps and begins to move forward after Cheryl.
15[20:08] * 13@Jennifer blinks and sighs, looking down. Her suit having changed again to a sort of "desert traveller" look. She pulls out her medical kit and the fresh water, she takes a small swing before passing it around. "Share, take a swig and make sure it goes down slow." *She passes it to Kane and moves after Cheryl as well*
[20:08] <13Dias`> It'd be nice to get an view from above. 6He moves oafter the others
[20:08] <13@Kane> I have some. Thank you. 6He holds it out towards Dias.
[20:09] <13Dias`> 6Dias waves his hand dismissively. 1"I'm fine."
15[20:09] * 13@Kane holds it out to Chii, then.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along still, and Lemon follows dutifully, though she's covered in sweat and dirt
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* X sighs again and trudges along, shifting to ride on Raquel's back for enery conservatio
03[20:11] * Ariel (Enjeryuu@blk-89-239-1.eastlink.ca) has joined #taw
03[20:11] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
15[20:12] * 13Dias` pulls his banadana off and unfolds it, tieing it around his head now. 1"Cheryl, if we don't see anything soon, I'm gonna have you throw me up in the air."
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I hate deserts. I hate sand. I have sand in places sand shouldn't be.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And fuck you. I'm not wasting energy.
[20:13] <13@Kane> I know wish that I had created a device that could fly into the air and report back to me an imagine feed.
[20:13] <13Dias`> Good to now sand makes you moody.
[20:13] <13@Kane> NRP: now*
09[20:14] <13@Jennifer> "I wish we had some kind of shelter, then we could just rest and travel in the night... Oh well."
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* X continues to use Raquel like a mule to rest on. She seems relaxed, since she's not doing the actual walking
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. Shelter. Why didn't I think to pack a shelter.
[20:14] <13Dias`> Aren't deserts like cold at night?
09[20:15] <13@Jennifer> "I shoulda thought of one myself. And cold is easier then the sun... we could just make our suits warm."
[20:15] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel seems... not too upset with helping X at this moment, but probally can't keep that up too long.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stumbles, then falls onto the sand
09[20:16] <13@Jennifer> "Lemon...?"
[20:16] <13Dias`> So remind me again, Cheryl. We're stuck in this reality until we get the crystal?
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We leave, we won't be able to backtrack easily to it.
15[20:17] * 13@Jennifer moves a bit faster to catch up to her and help her up.
[20:18] <13Dias`> Better than dieing by heat.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon lays there, sand on her face now. "I have no energy."
15[20:18] * 13Dias` glances at Lemon and moves over to her. 1"I'll carry you than."
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs. "Fine. We'll pull out. Though I love to explain how you rationalize being beaten by sand."
15[20:19] * 13@Kane kneels over, putting his hands on his knees, fighting to keep standing.
15[20:19] * 13Dias` glances at Cheryl now as he shifts Lemon onto his back. 1"Who says I'm doing that? I'm just making sure we have options."
[20:19] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "Is the crystal... even on... this side of the world?"
09[20:20] <13@Jennifer> "We don't know, that's just the point."
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just rubs her face furiously. X drinks some water casually
[20:20] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...I got it.
[20:21] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...It's fucking hot'o'clock.." 6She puffs into the sand face first.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine, we're pulling out. Lemon, synch up so we can go.
[20:21] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...That would not be wise.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why's that?
15[20:21] * 13Dias` glances over at Lilith now.
15[20:22] * 13@Jennifer rubs the back of her head, looking at Lilith.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Lilith, then shakes her head. "Lemon!" 6* She says in a loud, obnixious tone
15[20:23] * 13@Kane takes in a bit of the sandy air and straitens up.
15[20:23] * 13Dias` glances over his shoulder at Lemon. 1"That's you."
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon doesn't respond, merely unconscious
[20:24] <13Dias`> She's passed out. 6He looks over at Cheryl
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes strangled motions at the air
15[20:25] * 13@Kane sighs sadly. 1If we activate out devices, we'll be split up, won't we?
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And we'll never see John again.
[20:25] <13Dias`> So Lemon has to sync us up than?
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
09[20:26] <13@Jennifer> "So... let's keep on going and hopefully get Lemon charged up somehow."
[20:26] <13@Kane> She said before she could'nt find him.
[20:26] <13Dias`> She just needs to get out of the sun and a lot of water in her.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, she said she couldn't synch up until we were leaving. Listen, brainiac.
15[20:27] * 13@Kane eyes Cheryl. 1Right. I've decided i'm going to invent jet packs.
15[20:28] * 13Dias` looks over at Kane. 1"Why not invent sun block instead?"
[20:28] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...or icecream. Icecream would be good..."
[20:28] <13@Kane> ...I don't know.
[20:29] <13@Kane> I believe anything at this point would be helpful.
[20:29] <13Dias`> I'd will us out of here but the nosebleeds was a good sign I passed my limit for awhile.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She moves over to check on Lemon
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's in bad shape. She wasn't made for this kind of stuff. Bringing her was a mistake
15[20:30] * 13Dias` glances at Cheryl. 1"Well she's here now."
[20:31] <13@Kane> And she is the most vital member of the team now.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl picks Chii up now, slinging her over her shoulder. "We have no choice but to pick a direction."
15[20:31] * 13Dias` closes his eyes and holds his hand out, waving it about then stops. 1"That way."
[20:32] <13@Kane> ...I don't even feel like arguing. Let's just continue.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's the way we came.
[20:32] <13Dias`> Seriously?
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Looks like it.
[20:33] <13Dias`> It all looks the same.
[20:33] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...There is something out here.
[20:33] <13@Kane> I agree. I only know up from down because the sky it above us.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Sand.
15[20:33] * 13@Jennifer eyes the position of the sun under her ears and points the way we were going. "Sky's above us, sun moves."
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't seem to be in the mood to listen to Lilith now
[20:33] <13Dias`> Lots of it
[20:34] <13Dias`> Fine...6He turns and points. 1"Let's go that way, my superhero senses tell me it's the right way."
[20:34] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Lilith, "...what do you mean... something?"
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the way Dias is pointing, then picks another way.
[20:34] <13Dias`> Ya know what Cheryl? You suck.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I also swallow. Now come on
15[20:35] * 13@Jennifer follows her fearless leader.
[20:35] <13Dias`> Really? 6He looks at her curiously.
15[20:35] * 13@Kane lets out a sigh and continues on.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Guess you'll never find out
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nudges Raquel forward like a donkey
[20:36] <13Dias`> Eh. 6He waves his hand dismissively. 1"But you're probably right. I think I see a swimming pool that way.
[20:36] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks depressed that she's treated as such, wondering why she's putting up with this...
[20:37] <13@Kane> The heat can play...tricks on ones mind.
[20:37] <13@Kit> 6The sands shift, like a ripple on the ocean in front of Cheryl. Lilith eyes it.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Raquel trips on some loose sand, falling down
[20:37] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...It comes.
[20:38] <13@Kit> 6The sand drops in place, back to where it should be-- all is still.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* X shifts to step off Raquel now, eyeing the sand. "What...comes?"
[20:38] <13Dias`> Nah, I don't think my mind's playing tricks on me.
[20:38] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Uh, is that normal for sand?
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's a mirage.
[20:38] <13@Kane> I agree with Cheryl. We are all losing out minds.
[20:38] <13Dias`> There's no way that swimming pools a marage.
15[20:38] * 13@Jennifer grumbles. "...Or it's something out of an old science fiction novel."
[20:39] <13@Kit> 6Beneath everyone's feet, the sand itself lets out a low, bass tone growl.
09[20:39] <13@Jennifer> "...Fuck."
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers down now.
15[20:39] * 13Dias` slowly looks down
[20:39] <13@Kane> .....
[20:39] <13@Kit> 6Lilith pauses, then throws a hand out, shouting. 1"Scatter!"
09[20:39] <13@Jennifer> "If you're all hearing that, I doubt we're having a mass hallucination."
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and X both break off
[20:39] <13@Kit> 6Chii glances back at her, then to Cheryl, then breaks out in a run away from the center of the group.
15[20:40] * 13@Jennifer leaps and rolls down a sand dune.
15[20:40] * 13@Kane puts a hand to his face, running straight ahead.
[20:40] <13Dias`> 6Dias trudges away with Lemon on his back.
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to look back the way they were after getting some distance.
15[20:42] * 13@Jennifer hops up at the bottom and breaks into a run.
[20:42] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple to get some distance, then moves away as fast as she can manage
15[20:42] * 13Dias` can be seen trying to atleast run, with Lemon on his back and having pushed himself so much against ADias, he's clearly near his limit
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't see anything.
[20:43] <13@Kit> 6The sand rolls along behind Cheryl, making another lazy wave.
[20:44] <13@Kit> <Chii> Maybe she was seeing things like all of us, too.
[20:44] <13@Kit> 6Lilith hrmphs, insulted she's being doubted.
15[20:44] * 13@Jennifer looks around, frowning. "It's one thing to see, but it's another to hear. I heard growling... anyone else?"
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* X climbs Lilith's back
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She frowns now, peering about
15[20:44] * 13@Kane slows to a stop and peers over his shoulder. 1Damnit. 6He eyes the ground around him.
[20:45] <13Dias`> Run run run run. 6He chants to himself as he moves after Cheryl
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She shakes her head, and begins to trudge along again
15[20:47] * 13@Kane moves back towards Cheryl, holding his stomach as he moves. 1I'm hungry.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eat a ratio.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> *ration
[20:48] <13@Kit> 6Lilith peers over her shoulder at X
15[20:48] * 13@Jennifer follows Cheryl, she keeps her distance spread out just in case.
[20:48] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel continues on warily, glancing towards Lilith and X
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> <X> I feel it is safer with you
15[20:49] * 13@Kane hmms and pulls one out, chewing on it.
[20:49] <13Dias`> I could use a god damn beer.
[20:49] <13@Kit> 6The grumbling noise resounds again and Lilith jerks, moving with X. 1"It comes again!"
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not here to listen to all your damn complaints.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just walks along still, too tired, or annoyed, to run
15[20:50] * 13@Jennifer frowns and continues along.
[20:50] <13@Kane> Let it come so we can kill it. 6He shifts away from the group a bit, but doesn't run either, probably too exhausted.
[20:51] <13Dias`> Maybe we can eat it.
[20:51] <13@Kit> 6The sand sinks near the center of the group, but closer to Lilith, X and Raquel.
[20:52] <13@Kit> 6The growl gets louder, some holes starting to form about the depression in the sand.
15[20:52] * 13Dias` comes to a stop and turns around, backing up as he eyes the sink hole forming
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it now, frowning tensely. She shifts to back away from the sinkhole.
[20:52] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel moves very much away from the sink hole of potential doom
15[20:53] * 13@Kane pauses and begins to slide towards the outside of the sinkhole.
15[20:53] * 13@Jennifer eyes the sink hole, having kept her distance already. "Don't think we're hallucinating."
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thank you, Captain Obvious
09[20:54] <13@Jennifer> "...I do what I can."
15[20:54] * 13Dias` wipes sweat from his brow with his forearm and he tenses up. 1"Stupid last reality pushing me to the limit."
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* X urges Lilith away from the sink hole
[20:54] <13@Kit> 6Something resembling a large claw rises out of the depression.
[20:54] <13@Kit> 6Lilith just pauses, eyeing the object.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
15[20:55] * 13@Jennifer frowns, pulling out her gun.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're kidding me, right?
[20:55] <13Dias`> This soon after...Man this is bullshit.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I thought you liked fighting stuff.
15[20:56] * 13@Kane pulls the rifle of of his back, eyeing it and making sure sand hasn't completely gunked it up. 1Not when he believes he will lose.
[20:56] <13Dias`> ...Good point. Kane, come get Lemon.
[20:57] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel finds herself really wishing she could use her bow.
15[20:57] * 13@Kane shifts to mvoe towards Dias.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip for now, eyeing the claw
15[20:58] * 13@Jennifer starts to charge her gun.
15[20:58] * 13@Kane reaches out to take her and sling her over his shoulder.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* X finds herself wishing that Raquel could really use her bow.
15[20:58] * 13Dias` hands Lemon off to Kane and he shifts his tact suit to a sleeveless shirt and shorts. He tightens his fighting gloves
[20:58] <13@Kit> 6The growl shakes the sands they stand on, covering a distance greater than just the sinkhole-- The claw starts to descend into the sand again
[20:58] <13Dias`> HAH! 6He points at Cheryl. 1"It realized I was going to fight and it ran off scared!"
15[20:59] * 13@Jennifer sighs a bit.
[20:59] <13@Kit> 6A cylindrical object lunges out of the sand behind X and Lilith, snapping up-- right over Raquel.
[20:59] <13@Kit> 6Closed it looks like a leathery bullet the side of a zeppelin jutting right up out of the sand.
[21:00] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...Decoy.
[21:00] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel turns to stare at the huge object, holding her tiny little sword.
[21:00] <13@Kane> Say what?
[21:00] <13@Kit> 6Lilith pulls her lance out of herself, narrowing her eyes at the larger object now, twitching somewhat.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* X watches it
[21:00] <13Dias`> 6Dias slowly turns to eye the thing and begins to walk around randomally
[21:00] <13@Kit> 6The object splits down the center, revealing a house-sized maw of teeth and drops down, right over Raquel to devour her in one go, along with a considerable amount of the sand turf.
[21:01] <13@Kit> <Lilith> R-Raquel! ...The tail was a decoy!
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The fuck is that.
[21:01] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel ripples herself back away from the monster, not sure what else to do.
09[21:02] <13@Jennifer> "...All hail the mighty sand worm." *she grumbles*
15[21:02] * 13Dias` cracks his neck from side to side.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be watching for now, then eyes the sand, probably calculating how big it is
[21:03] <13@Kit> 6Lilith sighs in relief as Raquel appears off to the side. The creature's ...'head' rears back up, opening the maw into a four-part affair, what appears to be a section of the snake-like tongue falling onto the sand, kicking up dust.
[21:03] <13Dias`> Come out, come out...6He takes several steps back now.
[21:04] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel shivers, "...how can something so big survive out here... what...could that thing eat to stay alive..."
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> People.
[21:04] <13Dias`> Than I guess I'll be sure to leave a bad taste in it's mouth
15[21:04] * 13@Kane lifts up his rifle with one hand, kneeling and firing shots upward towards the mouth.
[21:04] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "But... what people?"
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Might be it ate it all
[21:04] <13@Kit> 6Come out it does. Being shot, it snarls, adding humidity to the air that was previously absent, along with a wretched scent of decay.
[21:05] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...then we have crappy timing."
09[21:05] <13@Jennifer> "Oh god that smells."
15[21:05] * 13Dias` eyes the creature, sizing it up.
15[21:05] * 13@Kane makes a face. 1I think i'm going to throw up.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opts not to breathe for now.
[21:05] <13@Kit> 6Following the section of the head comes an upper thorax, and an abdomen, each two to three times larger than the head section, crawling out onto crab-like legs resembling a large insect... all clawed. And the tail finally comes out, scorpion-like. What they saw earlier it used as a distraction.
[21:06] <13@Kit> 6The creature on the whole, is at least the size of a small elementary school.
15[21:06] * 13@Jennifer moves away from the strench a bit. "...Okay, this place is offically creepy now."
[21:06] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...Behead it.
09[21:06] <13@Jennifer> "What do you call it's head?"
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii. I think we need to form a Gear.
[21:06] <13@Kit> <Chii> Ugh... d-do we have to..
04[21:06] <13@Kane> The part that has a mouth, Jennifer.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Fight it yourself, then!
15[21:07] * 13Dias` looks over at Chii. 1"No, you can fight it just the way you are than.
[21:07] <13@Kit> 6It roars, now that its revealed itself, spraying misty-saliva across them all and the stench of death.
[21:07] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Oh it's on.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* X uses Lilith as a shield from it
09[21:07] <13@Jennifer> "GROSS!"
[21:07] <13Dias`> 6Dias waves his hand across his face. 1"God that's just wretched."
[21:07] <13@Kit> 6Lilith keeps her facade of neutrality.
15[21:07] * 13@Kane fires a few more shots towards the mouth, then lowers his rifle and lifts up Lemon, moving to back away from it.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks up sand to try to stop some of the saliva
15[21:08] * 13@Jennifer shakes muck off herself and grumbles.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Son of a bitch
[21:08] <13@Kit> 6It recoils from the shots, closing its mouth-- upon which the shots bounce from the skin, richocheting offward. It coils, then slams the tail forward over its head, puncturing the ground near Kane.
[21:08] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel shields her face with telekinesis, hoping the suit can protect the rest of her, "...this... is a monster."
[21:08] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes the tail slam into the ground and he dashes for it.
[21:09] <13@Kit> 6Chii finishes forming seals and holds up a hand. 1"...Raiton!" 6She brings her hand down, calling a bolt from the hazy sky into it's head. It disappates on the skin.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* X finds herself wishing that it didn't spit out disgusting saliva
[21:09] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Cute. Nothing.
15[21:09] * 13@Kane stumbles slightly, but using his free hand along with his knees to recover and continue to pull himself away from it.
15[21:10] * 13Dias` growls and leaps onto the tail, grabbing onto something and swinging himself ontop of it
[21:10] <13@Kit> 6The tail jerks, then starts to slide out of the sand, carrying Dias along.
[21:10] <13@Kit> 6The head raises as the tail goes past, opening it's mouth slightly, heat begins to emanate.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Dias and the tail, then turns to focus on the creature again. "Dias, look out."
[21:10] <13@Kit> 6Chii's eyes widen. 1"Oh fuck! Cherry, get over here!" 6She begins forming seals.
[21:11] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes jerk down and he grabs on, waiting.
15[21:11] * 13@Jennifer grumbles and watches from her position.
15[21:11] * 13@Kane shifts around and lifts up his rifle again, firing a few shots for the mouth.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts, rushing across the sand toward Chii, working to move as fast as she can considering the terrain
[21:12] <13@Kit> 6The head rears back, then leans forward, spewing napalm-like flames across the sand afront it. Chii finishes her seals and holds up a hand. 1"Suiton!" 6She deluges herself and the ground around her, temporarily holding off the fire with moisture alone. It seams.
[21:12] <13@Kit> NRP: Steams.
[21:12] <13@Kit> 6The tail snaps back to its usual place as it jerks from a shot hitting the gland spewing flames. The mouth closes and it hisses at Kane, then sends the tail flying for him again
[21:13] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel watches the monster, waiting until it stands still enough for her to use a small ripple to fire a holy beam down it's throat... just hoping that's enough to hurt it some.
15[21:13] * 13@Kane jerks to his feet and dashes to the right, diving to keep from getting hit.
[21:13] <13Dias`> 6Dias jerks about as the tail whips about
15[21:13] * 13@Jennifer tries to pick out some sort of eyes on the creature.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches Chii finally, sweat pouring into her eyes, burning them. She uses her arm to wipe away at it quickly and furiously.
[21:15] <13@Kit> 6The tail slams into the sand, kicking it up over Kane and tossling Dias like a living rag doll.
[21:16] <13Dias`> 6Dias is tossed and he grabs on again, swinging himself back on into a crouch and he starts dashing up along the tail towards the main body
[21:17] <13@Kit> 6The creature turns toward Chii and Cheryl as the water dies down, rearing up like it's going to lunge for another bite.
15[21:17] * 13@Kane shakes himself, apparently going to take the time to shake the sand out of his hair and ears.
[21:17] <13Dias`> 6Dias leaps off the tail and onto the back of it's main body.
15[21:17] * 13@Jennifer waits for it to open it's mouth.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon lays on the sand from where she fell off from Kane's dive.
[21:18] <13@Kit> 6The mouth splits into four as Chii glances up, jerking. 1"Oh shi--" 6It lunges.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snatches Chii and rushes forward, diving and rolling with her as fast she can manage.
15[21:18] * 13@Jennifer fires a charged blast at it's mouth and starts to run away.
[21:19] <13Dias`> 6Dias starts punching into the back of the beast.
15[21:20] * 13@Kane moves over and then lifts up Lemon, dusting the sand from her.
[21:20] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel slightly makes her way over towards where X and Lilith are, her attack completely ineffective.
04[21:21] <13@Kit> 6Cheryl and Chii avoid being eaten as Jennifer shoots into the side of its mouth. It rears back, hissing. It shakes it off and twists its head, peering at Dias scrutinizingly, then starts to heat up again
15[21:22] * 13@Jennifer charges her gun again, grumbling. "Kane, you got any explosives left?"
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl picks Chii up, then begins to focus quickly on forming their gear.
15[21:22] * 13Dias` smiles and begins to dash away along the things back, his head glancing back at the beast's head now
[21:23] <13@Kane> No. 6He says simply, lifting Lemon up and onto his shoulder.
[21:23] <13@Kit> 6Its back begins to glimmer as flames trickle out, then billow toward Dias in a cloud.
[21:24] <13@Kit> 6Chii grows into her adult form, blinking at Cheryl as they initialize as she was intending.
[21:24] <13Dias`> Ah crap...
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works on creating a version of their Gear that's light on weapons, though with a blade this time, so they can chop the neck off
[21:25] <13@Kit> 6Lilith lands beside Dias, forming a barrier as flames wash over the two. It seems uncaring and unaffected by lighting itself on fire.
[21:26] <13@Kit> 6Chii pauses after they form. 1"This is new... you can create variations..?"
[21:26] <13Dias`> 6Dias peers around than looks at Lilith and gives her a thumbs up. 1"I always knew you cared."
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Better than a dragon.
[21:26] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <X> ...
[21:26] <13@Kit> <Chii> That remains to be seen. How 'bout an air conditioner?
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
[21:27] <13@Kane> I feel compelled to say something.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just activates the energy sword and swings it down at the neck
[21:27] <13Dias`> 6Dias starts punching into the back at where they are.
09[21:27] <13@Jennifer> "...Go ahead Kane."
[21:27] <13@Kane> Oh that was it. 6He kneels and pulls up his rifle, aiming.
[21:29] <13@Kit> 6Chii sighs at that, peeling off some of her clothing in response since they're hidden anyway. THe blade slams into the creature, getting its attention and it stops breathing fire, hissing saliva over the gear. The skin is scratched, but cutting it seems to be resistance.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face. "Fuck. Gross. Piece of shit" 6* She aims a hand and fires off what energy she can muster. She's practically hot as it is
[21:30] <13@Kit> 6Lilith drops the barrier, swinging her lance into one hand, then moves up the back. 1"Dias. Here."
15[21:30] * 13Dias` stands up. 1"Fucker's thick skinned...I bet it's own tail could pierce it."
[21:31] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks over at Lilith and moves after her
[21:31] <13@Kit> 6The creature's mouth seperates and the glands puff out. Chii stares. 1"Oh damn. Could use that air conditioner, Cherry!" 6Heat bellows out, preluding flames. Lilith on its back, notes pieces of the neck's plating seperate when it does, giving off steam. She aims her spear and stabs it in, with a fleshy sound. It stops breathing fire and hisses loudly in a nails on chalkboard effect.
[21:32] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...Do your... thing." 6She eyes Dias, then reams the spear back like a crowbar, upheaving part of the skin plate.
[21:32] <13Dias`> <Dias> Do what thing?
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves forward to try to grab the creature's mouth while it's open and fire a blast into it
15[21:32] * 13@Jennifer watches, this currently a tad out of her league, she looks for an opening or clean shot.
[21:33] <13@Kit> 6Lilith sighs, then leaps, jabbing her spear into it deeper. It reels, hissing again, trying to toss them off. 1"I will focus energy. Please. Punch the spear."
[21:33] <13Dias`> 6Dias shakes his head and slides over to it, slamming both fists into it, if piercing it, his hands grabbing onto whatever he can to yank out
[21:33] <13@Kit> 6The mouth spews a mix of napalm and saliva at Cheryl, uttering curses no doubt, in whatever tongue it has at her.
[21:34] <13@Kit> 6Dias' hands cut into gelatinous flesh, but then feel the opposing sides of something hard resembling bone.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes more noises of annoyance. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck."
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks some dirt at it's face
[21:35] <13Dias`> 6Dias shakes his hands off and eyes the spear and squats then kicks up wards, flipping above the spear. 1"FALLING MOON!" 6He twists in mid-air, his leg slamming down towards the end of the spear to drive it down.
[21:37] <13@Kit> 6Lilith blinks, backing off in surprise. It sinks in to the end of the handle and it lets out a hiss-- Lilith moves over and grabs the end, channeling light through it to form a burst. The creature's sides bulge as if an explosion went of it and it jerks, eyeing them all, then glazes over and drops to the sound, sending a thunderous roar along the sands-- then silence.
15[21:37] * 13@Jennifer puts up her gun, staring at it. "D-Did we win?"
[21:37] <13@Kane> Excellent. We now have shelter.
15[21:37] * 13Dias` falls over onto his back and pants.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs and demorphs back to her normal form, her tactical suit remaining despite her energy level.
[21:39] <13@Kit> 6Lilith pulls her spear out slowly, eyeing it with disgust. She leaps down and returns to X, trying to wipe the sticky substance off in the sand, then eyes a sandlight spear.
[21:39] <13@Kit> 6Chii pauses, landing on the sand half-naked beside Cheryl.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X makes a face.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> If you put that back in you, I will not touch you anymore.
[21:40] <13@Kit> 6A clapping is heard from behind Kane.
15[21:40] * 13Dias` just stays on the top of the creature, too exhausted to move right now
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to turn, her light dress turning back into a tactical suit
15[21:41] * 13@Jennifer turns to eye the source of the clapping.
15[21:41] * 13@Kane shifts his head slightly, peering over his lemon-less shoulder towards the clapping.
[21:45] <13@Kit> 6A young woman stands there, tanned skin and black hair blowing about in the breeze, but steel blue eyes in a cold expression similar to Lilith. She's dressed in sparse green and white lace-pattern clothing that flows just like her hair from her body, leaving the sides and arms free and much of her legs. Her feet tied into leather books that look taped, probably to keep sand out.
09[21:46] <13@Jennifer> "...Tell me you're a nice person..."
[21:46] <13@Kit> 6She's flanked by four soldier-like beings in half-plate armer apparently lined with leather and cotton cloth to protect from head, heads in turban-like wrap, all wielding short spears and carrying swords-- although she has none.
04[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6 *X eyes Jennifer slowly
15[21:46] * 13@Kane shifts around to raise a pistol, not asking that dumb question.
15[21:46] * 13@Jennifer sighs a little and ignores the looks, she's tired, she's hot, and she smells of death.
04[21:47] <13@Kit> 6The four soldiers eye Kane, lowering their spears, narrowing eyes with precision. She brings her hands up in a poise, shifting a foot forward, but says nothing, just giving Jennifer a passing glance.
[21:47] <13Dias`> 6Dias drops off the side of the beast, landing in a crouch. 1"More challenges?"
[21:47] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...I guess it didn't eat everyone..."
[21:47] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ..Skilled.
04[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to walk in front of Jennifer and Kane, a hand shifting Jennifer backwards, a look from her telling Jennifer to watch what she says
[21:47] <13@Kit> 6Chii draws her own guns, staring blearily, then collapses face first in the sand again.
15[21:48] * 13@Jennifer steps back and just nods a little, shutting up and looking onward.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who are you?
15[21:48] * 13@Kane doesn't lower his weapons, he just waits patiently, having a Cheryl shield now.
[21:48] <13@Kit> <Woman> You first.
15[21:48] * 13Dias` grimces slightly as he pushes himself onto his feet.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I asked first.
[21:48] <13@Kit> <Woman> I'll kill first. You could be spies.
15[21:49] * 13Dias` rotates his left shoulder and starts moving towards Cheryl
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You could try to kill. I'm not much in a mood to kiss ass. We're foreigners to this land in any event.
[21:49] <13@Kit> 6She doesn't seem riled, nor intimidated. 1"You look the part."
[21:50] <13Dias`> I don't see any transport, Cheryl. Means they walked out here.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms. "Fine. My name is Cheryl. I'm not going to give everyone's names. We have a large group as you can see. We're here looking for an item. We could care less about you, or your politics. If you want to point us to some water and a place to rest, we'll be gratious. Otherwise, we'll go.
[21:50] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...or you don't see their transport."
15[21:51] * 13@Jennifer taps the safety on her gun, cutting it's held charge and holsters it.
[21:51] <13@Kit> 6The soldier to her left moves forward slightly. 1"My lady, should we risk siezing them or kill them now?"
[21:51] <13@Kit> 6She slowly turns to eye him, frowning just a tad. He backs off, eyes widening. 1"Forgive me.."
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at the soldier, but like the woman, doesn't seem riled, or intimidated.
15[21:51] * 13Dias` comes to a stop beside Cheryl and crosses his arms.
[21:52] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...I've done a lot of fighting... I don't want to kill anyone else for a little while..." 6*wants two arms again*
15[21:52] * 13@Jennifer crosses her own arms, looking annoyed herself not in the slightest worried while Dias and Cheryl are on top of things.
[21:52] <13@Kit> <Woman> We'll spare rations for those capable of killing Antlions. Cheryl. Follow." 6She says simply, turning and walking through her troupe. They pause, then turn to follow her in tandem.
[21:52] <13Dias`> 6Dias tilts his head, watching her ass as she walks away
[21:52] <13@Kit> 6Lilith pauses, then looks to X and Cheryl.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Plural. Great. Fucking relaity.
15[21:52] * 13@Kane stands now and puts away his pistol. 1At least we finally settled something with words instead of weapons.
[21:52] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...I believe we can trust her. For now.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to follow her.
[21:53] <13Dias`> Atleast the views good.
[21:53] <13@Kit> 6Two of the soldiers peer back at Dias with fright.
15[21:53] * 13Dias` leans down and tosses Chii over his shoulder
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You piss her off, Dias, I won't save you.
15[21:53] * 13@Jennifer sighs and starts to follow as well. "Well at least there's a chance my hopes are right..."
15[21:53] * 13@Kane hmms and dusts a bit of sand off of Lemon, moving forward after Cheryl now.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* X begins to follow again, walking this time.
[21:54] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel trudges after, taking comfort in the fact where they're going has to be better than here.
[21:54] <13Dias`> <Dias> Eh. 6He shrugs and walks after her.
[21:54] <13@Kit> 6Lilith nods, following X, still trying to shake her spear off.
[21:55] <13@Kit> 6The troupe and the woman make their way across a dune, and they make no sign of seizing trek after nearly an hour has passed.
15[21:55] * 13@Kane takes the last draw of water from his cantine, looking like he's about to fall over.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl carries Chii now, to let Dias have a rest.
[21:56] <13@Kit> 6After a moment, the woman stops, the soldiers as well, just standing there.
15[21:56] * 13@Jennifer pulls out a bit more fresh water from her kit and drinks a small swig, near the end of her supply, she offers the rest to Raquel.
[21:56] <13Dias`> 6Dias waves his hand, still trying to get some of that antlion goo off them
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl comes to a stop.
15[21:56] * 13@Kane slows to a stop, kneeling to catch his breath, Lemon isn't fat, but being this tired, she feels like she weighs a billion pounds.
[21:56] <13@Kit> 6A grumbling resounds along the sand.
[21:56] <13@Kane> ....if it's another one, you can just kill me now.
[21:57] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...I believe it is.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kill Kane, then
[21:57] <13@Kit> <Lilith> I-- is that your wish?
[21:57] <13Dias`> <Dias> This time I'm ready for it. 6He cracks his neck from side to side.
[21:57] <13@Kit> 6The troops behind the woman shiver and startle back somewhat, but she remains, shaking her head.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sarcasm.
15[21:58] * 13@Jennifer stands quietly and watches.
[21:58] <13@Kit> <Woman> Taune rah shuenii yue ah ti..." 6She calls in a sing-song voice, holding a hand out.
[21:59] <13@Kit> 6The sand starts to shift, and the head of another antlion starts to emerge, though the hissing has stopped. It lulls slightly, as if drunk or dazed.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches, raising a single brow up now
[21:59] <13Dias`> <Dias> Huh...If she's real, we should just let her take on that other Dias.
[21:59] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...why didn't we try that?"
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <X> Because you don't sing well.
09[22:00] <13@Jennifer> "Never heard that song before."
[22:00] <13@Kit> 6The head rises a bit more and leans in toward her, nudging her hand, although it's much like a toothpick to a whale. She lets it.
09[22:01] <13@Jennifer> "Neat, she tamed it...?"
03[22:01] * Jackieness (Psy@h136.30.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
03[22:01] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She brushes her soaked blonde hair back to watch.
[22:01] <13Dias`> <Dias> That's just cheating.
09[22:01] <13@Jennifer> "I gotta learn that trick."
[22:01] <13@Kane> It's unfortunate that I cannot sing.
09[22:02] <13@Jennifer> "Singing just takes practice."
04[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Jennifer
[22:03] <13@Kit> 6The woman leans back suddenly and leaps up onto its head, running up to the base and then suddenly just slams her hand right through the skin, gripping. She reams her arm back, yanking out a quarter section of what's apparently the spine, then hops to the ground as it writhes and hisses and drops.
15[22:03] * 13@Jennifer blinks a bit, rubbing the back of her head. "...Right?"
[22:03] <13@Kit> <Woman> We are safe.
[22:03] <13Dias`> <Dias> Oh yeah, totally let her take on that Dias.
15[22:04] * 13@Jennifer whistles.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches the scene before her again, her face deadpanned. "Don't fall for her songs, Dias."
09[22:04] <13@Jennifer> "Now that's cool."
[22:04] <13Dias`> <Dias> I already have one woman pinning for my death, I don't need a second one.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Dias.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <X> Who is the first?
[22:04] <13@Kit> 6The woman shakes her hand, spewing the slime to the sand-- which sizzles, probably acidic. She then turns toward a flat section of the sand and holds up a hand, uttering more song-like verses. The air begins to ripple.
15[22:05] * 13Dias` looks back at X, blinking. 1"I...No? I take that back that."
15[22:05] * 13@Jennifer blinks and hums a bit, trying to catch the melody.
[22:05] <13@Kit> 6She stops, peering back at them. 1"...You are a strange lot."
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We get that a lot.
[22:06] <13Dias`> <Dias> Hey Cheryl, I think she's stronger than you in your gear form.
[22:06] <13@Kit> 6The ripple continues and begins to unveil a hazy mirage-- at least, it ripples like one until the air settles-- and then before them is a gigantic oasis. Springs with greenery growing, small, rounded-off buildings from sand and mud.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just ignores Dias, though her looks seems to tell Dias to stop spouting out things like that.
[22:06] <13@Kit> <Woman> So you call that a... 'gear form.'
[22:06] <13@Kit> <Woman> Is this... unique to that woman and the girl?
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe. We don't like to share all our secrets until we know the other person
[22:07] <13@Kit> <Woman> ...I prefer words. Sister prefers force.
[22:07] <13@Kane> Sister?
[22:07] <13Dias`> 6Dias shifts his hands behind the back of his neck.
15[22:07] * 13@Jennifer frowns a bit.
[22:08] <13@Kit> 6She turns away, then walks through the hazy lining, stepping into the oasis city, which has revealed to be in size to a japanese new age city.
[22:09] <13@Kit> 6The woman grips part of the tail of the antlion she fell, dragging it through the city street as she goes. The soldiers sigh a bit and follow her.
[22:09] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks around slowly, "...this... sure beats the desert." 6She pauses before saying the other half of what she's thinking.
[22:09] <13@Kane> 6* Kane tilts his head, then peers to shoulder. Following her whenever she moves.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks thorugh the lining herself. X steps through now as well, looking curious
[22:09] <13@Kit> 6Lilith moves through the water-like barrier. Inside, the air has a comfortable amount of humidity, and the heat isn't so bad. Perfect for volleyball.
15[22:09] * 13@Jennifer follows after Cheryl.
15[22:10] * 13Dias` walks in after X and Lilith
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts and shakes Chii's head in the barrier to wake her up, then continues on'
[22:11] <13Dias`> <Dias> Ya know, she might be a fun match when I'm fully rested.
[22:11] <13@Kane> Hmm. I hope they have ointment for sunburns.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She prefers words.
15[22:11] * 13@Jennifer giggles a bit.
[22:11] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...Dias would be outmatched there."
[22:12] <13Dias`> <Dias> That's why it'd be a fun match Raq.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is quiet again, though she seems to be exhausted, judging by the trembling in her arm.
[22:14] <13@Kit> 6Chii sputters and spits out water.
[22:14] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...I much prefer this climate.
[22:14] <13@Kit> <Chii> What happened?! Were we all eaten?
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <X> I agree.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
15[22:14] * 13@Jennifer sighs a bit and stretches. "I'd welcome a bath... we must stink, I've started to drown it out."
[22:15] <13@Kane> Just you Chii. I had to dive inside of the best to pull you free.
[22:15] <13Dias`> <Dias> Speak for yourself, I bet I smell like roses again.
[22:15] <13@Kane> NRP: beast*
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <X> You don't.
[22:15] <13Dias`> <Dias> Damn.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <X> You smell like vile puke
[22:15] <13@Kit> 6The woman drags the creature to a circular cobblestoned center of a section of the city, where she just drops it. Some of the people, in scant clothing and robe-like garments flood out of the buildings, eyeing it, then call praises to the woman which she ignores.
[22:15] <13@Kit> <Lilith> I am afraid we do as well, mistress.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> I-I do not!
[22:16] <13Dias`> <Dias> That's just me you smell Lilith.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets Chii go as she walks along now.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* She doesn't get praises, though
[22:16] <13@Kit> 6Chii gets her bearings beside Cheryl. 1"...Wh-Where are we?"
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mystical city.
[22:16] <13@Kit> 6Chii stares at Cheryl skeptically.
[22:17] <13@Kane> Look around. 6He notes to Chii.
[22:17] <13@Kit> 6The woman approaches a section of intertwining gates where two guards motion up to a tower. After a moment, clicking of gears can be heard and the doors slide away from one another, allowing her and the troupe inside. The guards at the posts eye Cheryl and her gang, staring like they're a plague or just rotten-smelling intruders.
[22:17] <13@Kit> <Chii> It's pretty-- but still full of sand.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's tactical suit shifts a bit to match more the clothing of those around her, apparantly going invisible to show skin.
[22:18] <13Dias`> 6Dias's glances down at makes his shirt disappear so he's only wearing cut-off jeans and his bandana
[22:18] <13@Kit> 6Lilith eyes Cheryl doing so and nudges X, making her's do the same. Chii eyes Cheryl and picks something romanesque.
[22:18] <13@Kit> <Chii> Toga, toga!
15[22:18] * 13@Jennifer looks at Cheryl a moment and follows her example, though her clothing manages to be more modest.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* X blinks, then does so as well.
[22:18] <13@Kit> 6The guards frown at Chii, wondering what that means.
[22:19] <13@Kit> <Guard> Sorcerors...
[22:19] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel is almost tempted to go greek just to be different, but she trys to get something that doesn't stand out much. Sadly, black would stand out here.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flexes her fingers a bit, rubbing her thumb along her ring, walking after the woman still.
15[22:20] * 13@Kane doesn't do anything with his suit, leaving it the way it is. He peers around carefully, probably memorizing guard locations and the like incase things go bad.
[22:20] <13Dias`> <Dias> I wonder if they got booze here. 6He scratches his chin
[22:20] <13@Kit> 6They enter a palace setting, passing attendents and other soldiers who pause, eyeing them. The woman pauses, glancing back. 1"Booze?"
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Dias with an annoyed look
[22:21] <13Dias`> <Dias> Booze. Liqour. Fire-water. Beer.
[22:22] <13@Kit> 6The woman eyes him stoically, then claps her hands, calling for a servent. She utters something to him, then moves aside, gesturing up a staircase. 1"Upwards."
[22:22] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...for once, I wouldn't mind an elevator."
[22:22] <13@Kane> I agree. 
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl cracks her neck a bit, but moves for the staircase, her left hand clenched tightly now into a fist.
15[22:23] * 13@Kane moves after Cheryl.
[22:24] <13@Kit> 6Chii moves along with Cheryl, scowling. 1"Are we uh. Prisoners now or something?"
[22:24] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Possibly.
[22:24] <13Dias`> 6Dias chews on his thumb nail as he walks along and up the stairs with the others
15[22:24] * 13@Jennifer sticks with Cheryl, looking about in curiosity.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Either way, we need to get Lemon to wake up.
[22:25] <13@Kit> 6At the top of the stairs is nothing other than an audience hall, filled with tapestries and curious buttresses flooding the light in like a cathedral from the outside. Sitting at the far end on a throne, leaning boredly on a hand with her legs crossed-- appears to be the woman from before but wearing a circlet.
[22:26] <13@Kane> A twin?
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .oO ( Doubt it's a sex bot)
[22:26] <13@Kit> 6Chii jerks for some reason and eyes Cheryl.
15[22:26] * 13Dias` whistles as he eyes the area. 1"So many different woman."
[22:26] <13@Kit> <Crowned Woman> So you're the antlion-killers?
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. We killed one.
[22:27] <13@Kit> 6She rises, gazing down at Dias from atop a smaller flight of stairs. 1"Yes. We are a matriarchy here, after all."
[22:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well it was me and Lilith that killed it. 6He holds his hand up for a high five from Lilith.
[22:27] <13@Kit> 6The woman that led them comes from around behind the group, joining her crowned twin.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Dias. "Dias. If you don't quit saying stuff, I'm going to send you to a place of pain."
[22:28] <13@Kit> 6The crowned nods. 1"Details. Look, I'm not one for games, and clearly the vulgar woman there is in charge."
[22:28] <13Dias`> 6Dias scowls. 1"Aww man...."
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at the crowned woman. "And this vulgar woman isn't one for details."
[22:29] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> My name is Hawthorne. I am the acting queen, and former princess of Sol, with my sister Carnation here alligned. I have a proposal."
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> A proposal?
15[22:29] * 13@Kane shifts slightly, not making a comment, he cautiously peers to check on Lemon.
[22:30] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> You're looking for a crystal, correct?
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
[22:30] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks at her, raising a brow
[22:30] <13@Kit> <Carnation> I overheard.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just nods once
[22:31] <13@Kane> Hmmm.
[22:31] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Not that I'll claim I know what it is, but something important enough for foreigners to wander into the Xycanthein deserts is bound to be either an object of great value or power. Either such thing would undoubtedly be in the hands of the Sol royal family.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Which you used to belong to.
[22:32] <13Dias`> <Dias> Aww man...I hate following the dots.
[22:32] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> And would have no trouble handing over if we were to reassume.
[22:32] <13@Kit> <Carnation> We are the rightful heirs.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The catch being we help you take down who's there now.
[22:33] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> An easy task for one who can kill an antlion.
15[22:33] * 13Dias` mouth opens to say something than he stops, closing it
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can kill Antlions, too. Something tells me it's harder than that.
[22:34] <13@Kane> Not to speak out of turn, but after the display of power you showed, why not simply do it yourselves?
[22:34] <13Dias`> 6Dias points at Cheryl.
15[22:34] * 13@Kane pauses and then nods towards Cheryl.
15[22:34] * 13@Jennifer fixes her outfit a little, listenign quietly.
[22:34] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> We are highly recognizeable. We would not make it that deep within the borderlands to get to Sol, and it is unapproachable from the sea for... various reasons.
[22:35] <13Dias`> How tough is it going to be?
[22:35] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> The king is a war hero-- a master swordsman. Facing him readied would prove more challenging than a dull beast.
[22:35] <13@Kit> 6Lilith eyes X and Cheryl at mention of swordsman.
[22:36] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well my fist is pretty strong....
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She seems to think about something, and comes to a conclusion, that she will probably share with the team later, when they're alone. She just gives them all a single look, then eye the two twins. "Fine. I'm not one for antlion around." 6* She purposely downplays the stress on the ant part to go with the pun.
[22:37] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Remove those on the throne and the Garden War will be at its long-awaited end. Anything you desire that may be this crystal you seek will be yours from the treasury.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. It's a deal.
[22:37] <13@Kit> 6Hawthorn looks to Carnation, who nods and whistles to the guards.
[22:37] <13@Kit> 6Two scramble down the stairs.
[22:38] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> I will know when the deed is done. Father's blood runs in my veins, after all.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. Her expression seeming to indicate her thoughts about her own father
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll need time to rest. Can you set us up for the night?
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Also, a map to this Sol place, and it's territory would be useful.
[22:40] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel fidgets, wanting to ask a question.
[22:40] <13Dias`> And a place to bath.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Raquel, then nods once to her
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> That's 'to bathe'.
[22:41] <13Dias`> <Dias> Really? 6He scratches his head. 1"Good thing I've got you for the brains."
04[22:41] <13@Kit> 6The guards return, escorting another girl, who is about Chii or Jennifer's apparent age. She's dressed in the desert-garments, but they don't seem to suit her as much. Her hands and feet are bare and bruised, and she wears a metal collar, downtroddenly staring at the ground as she's brought in.
[22:42] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> You'll take her with you. The night is yours to recover, but I insist using the palace springs, as I have enchanted them with a healing property.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who's she?
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the girl.
[22:42] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *speaks up* "...can you heal... um... serious... injuries?"
[22:42] <13@Kit> 6The twins merely look at her, and she cringes, then peers up. 1"C-Crys, milady."
[22:43] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Ironically, her name is Crystal, but she is not the one you seek.
[22:43] <13@Kane> A slave? We don't need a slave.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think shes our map.
15[22:43] * 13@Jennifer looks at the girl, frowning in worry.
[22:43] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Precisely.
[22:43] <13Dias`> <Dias> Really? Is it drawn on her body? 6He eyes her curiously
[22:43] <13@Kane> Ah. A guide. I jumped to conclusions. I apaologize.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs a bit
[22:43] <13@Kane> NRP: apologise*
[22:44] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> She has been placed under a geas, and therefore will know the way, regardless of having never been there. It is well in my memory.
[22:44] <13@Kit> <Crys> Sorry to be a burden..
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I got a question for you myself. 6* She says to the twins.
[22:44] <13@Kit> <Carnation> Yes, Cheryl?
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Have you seen a man with red hair, this tall. Fancies himself a hero.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl indicates with her hand
[22:45] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Red hair?
[22:45] <13@Kit> 6Carnation looks to Hawthorn.
[22:45] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel pouts a little, guessing that she spoke out of turn.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. About the age of 22.
[22:45] <13Dias`> <Dias> Rugged good looks, boat loads of charm.
[22:46] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> I know only of two people living with red hair.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. He's dressed like him, so I guess you havent seen him. 6* She points at Kane
[22:46] <13@Kit> 6Hawthorn clenches at the side of the throne, her nails digging into the wood. 1"One, I should hope gets in your way..."
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Hawthorn now, raising a brow.
[22:47] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> The other is a out of place foreigner even to the oddity that is Nexus. Agents reported him asking about the ancient dragon sleeping below Nezereb.
15[22:47] * 13@Kane eyes Hawthorn quietly.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> He wouldn't know anything about dragons.
[22:47] <13Dias`> 6Dias stares blankly, clearly not understanding anything she said
[22:47] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> And you know nothing of Kythil.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. Our man is named John
[22:48] <13@Kit> 6Hawthorn peers off to the side boredly. 1"Once you finish in Sol, Nezereb is a day's trip east. I would not rule it out. As I said, those with red hair are... few and far."
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "And can your water heal an arm back?" 6* She asks for Raquel
[22:49] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> I doubt it. It would take personal attention. I may consider it upon your success.
[22:49] <13Dias`> 6Dias goes to say something again than closes his mouth.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll keep it in mind. 6* Though knowing her, Raquel's out of luck.
[22:49] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel hangs her head.
[22:49] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Please. Begone. You're fowling up the hall.
[22:50] <13@Kit> -Scene Shift-
[22:50] <13@Kit> Location: Underground springs.
[22:51] <13@Kit> 6The group has been shown to a cavern beneath the palace that acts much like a sauna. It appears to be natural, given the way the hollows look, and lit up by curious glowing orbs suspended over places in the water. Servants hand each a towel, then run away, holding their nose.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Men find your own area.
[22:51] <13@Kit> 6Crys, devoid of clothing but the collar, steps slowly in, sighing happily. The bruises on her feet and hands, and some along her arms, begin to vanish. Slowly.
[22:51] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes the towel and shrugs, making his clothes shift off and he walks towards the water.
[22:52] <13@Kit> 6Without her clothing, Chii notes something.
[22:52] <13@Kit> <Chii> Hey! Hey you!" 6Crys pauses, blinking back at Chii, her green eyes glowering in the slight dark. 1"Y-Yes?"
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's outfit turns into the normal tactical suit form as she removes it.
[22:52] <13@Kit> <Chii> You have a tail like me!
[22:52] <13@Kit> 6Chii scowls. 1"And ears!"
[22:52] <13@Kit> <Crys> ...Yes?" 6She tilts her head, lost.
15[22:52] * 13@Kane eyes his towel, then moves over for another area, realizing that he and Dias are the only men.
[22:53] <13@Kit> <Chii> You a kitsune, too?
[22:53] <13@Kit> <Crys> ...A what?
[22:53] <13@Kit> <Chii> Fox! A fox spirit! Geez.
[22:53] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel waits until it's safe, and then tries her best to undress.
[22:53] <13Dias`> 6Dias pulls his tact suit off and sets it at the waters edge and he leaps into the water, all naked like and swims.
15[22:53] * 13@Jennifer removes her tactical suit after reverting it, she lets her hair down and discards the hair tie before setting her things aside and moving into the water.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* X removes her tactical suit, then helps Raquel
[22:53] <13@Kit> 6Crys frowns slightly, stepping back in the water like she's being threatened. 1"..W-Well, yes. I am a fox, but I'm not a spirit. Yet."
[22:54] <13@Kit> 6Lilith waits on X, then moves to lower into the water-- actually uttering a happy sigh.
[22:54] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Yet?
15[22:54] * 13@Kane steps up to the waters edge and pulls his suit off, folding it nicely and placing at the waters edge, he then sinks into the water not straying from the suit.
[22:54] <13@Kit> <Crys> I don't mean to die any time soon." 6She pouts. Chii jerks.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl undresses Lemon and moves her into the water, proppering her head up so she doesn't drown
[22:55] <13Dias`> Hey Cheryl, we should talk when we get a moment of privacy.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Then Cheryl gets into the water and begins to wash her suit. "Fine."
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* X gets into the water
[22:55] <13Dias`> 6Dias turns himself over and he let's himself float in the water.
15[22:56] * 13@Jennifer starts with a good scrub at her hair, and once it's lathered up she pulls her gear over and starts to clean her suit and those items that got gunk on them.
[22:56] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *slips into the water* "...thanks." *never realized how much one hand could mean*
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Here's my plan, girls. We'll go to Sol if Lemon thinks the crystal is there. Either way, our goal is to get the crystal. So we're not going to go out of way. But we won't double cross them, either, if they're straight with us.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Either way, it looks like we have to go to this Sol.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dias would find his body racked with pain
[22:57] <13@Kit> 6Chii scrubs her hair. 1"Yeah. I think I could handle the mission part myself, though, if you want to search."
09[22:57] <13@Jennifer> "Sounds like a plan to me. It's just nice to get a little rest in at any rate."
[22:57] <13@Kit> <Lilith> I should go as well. I can handle the swordsman.
15[22:57] * 13@Kane off the side, alone. Letting out a restful sigh.
[22:57] <13Dias`> 6Dias suddenly clutches at his body, letting out a gasp of pain, his body curling up
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* The pain stops. "Go away, Dias." 6* Cheryl warns.
[22:58] <13@Kit> 6Flesh wounds would begin to heal immediately, along with internal injuries and those with the pieces still present (such as ribs). It really is a miracle spring.
15[22:58] * 13Dias` pants, staring off into space for a moment. 1"What the hell...."
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not telling you how. But I will shock you again if you're with Kane by the time I reach 3.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 1.
[22:59] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes Cheryl. 1"...Yeah, you really do suck." 6He shakes his head, clearly not happy and he move soff.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 2.
[22:59] <13@Kit> 6Crys steps out of the water, cheerful despite naked. She's clean and healed. 1"I will gather your belongings, my new masters. I will try to carry as much as possible to be helpful." 6She nods, though looks frail and useless in that respect.
15[22:59] * 13@Jennifer giggles a little. "Why Cheryl, you're reminding me of my Dad now."
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes back to washing her suit. "I'm not letting him violate our privacy."
[22:59] <13@Kit> -Scene Shift-
[23:00] <13@Kit> Location: Outside the Sol Kingdom, 2 days later.
[23:00] <13@Kit> <Chii> So let me get this straight.
[23:01] <13@Kit> 6Crys nods to Chii, weighed down by packs and luggage.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Cyrs, grabbing some items.
[23:02] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes the device on the back of his hand, than at Cheryl. He shifts his hands to rest on the back of his head now.
[23:02] <13@Kit> <Chii> We have to kill the King. In there." 6She gestures past a several hundred foot high smooth, glassy-finish wall with at least three dozen guards at each of its eight solid-marble gates. The wall itself is circular around the city and goes on for at least three miles in circumference.
[23:02] <13@Kit> <Crys> Yes.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias, wondering if he's just putting it together
15[23:02] * 13@Kane peers forward quietly. He glances towards Lemon.
[23:03] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...How thick is that?
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stands there, hands folded together
[23:03] <13@Kit> <Crys> Ten feet.
[23:03] <13@Kane> Is it in there?
[23:03] <13Dias`> <Dias> It's be easier just to walk in.
[23:03] <13@Kit> <Crys> We don't have the proper credentials. We are not merchants in this wartime.
09[23:03] <13@Jennifer> "We're travellers. Same story right?"
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I think so.
[23:04] <13@Kit> <Crys> We would be turned away-- I was turned away.
15[23:04] * 13@Kane frowns at the word think. He's always one for certainty.
[23:04] <13Dias`> <Dias> ....So let me get this straight. We're supposed to break into this fort city. Than fight through the entire city and then fight the king.
[23:04] <13@Kit> <Chii> So we're screwed, basically." 6She nods to Dias.
[23:04] <13@Kit> <Crys> No, there is another way.
[23:04] <13Dias`> <Dias> Sounds like fun to me. 6He cracks his knuckles.
15[23:05] * 13@Jennifer grins over at Dias. "No walls will stop us, right?"
[23:05] <13Dias`> <Dias> This is about a wall, this is about getting a good work out.
[23:05] <13@Kit> <Crys> Are any of you good at freeclimbing?
15[23:05] * 13@Kane peers towards Crys oddly.
15[23:06] * 13@Jennifer rubs the back of her head. "I've climbed Mount Fuji-san..."
[23:06] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *looks at the wall* "...what's it like on the other side?"
[23:06] <13@Kit> <Crys> The city of light. The city of Sol.
[23:06] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...not the city. The wall."
[23:06] <13Dias`> <Dias> You'd think those two would know a back-door entrance to this place.
[23:07] <13@Kit> <Crys> That is why I asked.
[23:07] <13@Kit> 6Crys begins to move along the thicket to the left, making her way around the wall. 1"Follow me."
[23:07] <13@Kit> 6Chii sighs and starts to after peering at Cheryl.
[23:07] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *glances at X, then follows*
[23:08] <13@Kit> 6Lilith frowns. Perhaps thinking she could take down all the guards.
15[23:08] * 13@Jennifer follows after her.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along, silent for once.
[23:08] <13Dias`> 6Dias just follows after, looking dissapointed.
15[23:08] * 13@Kane hmms and then moves along.
[23:09] <13@Kit> 6After a good mile and a half, the cliff narrows in near the city wall. The city and castle build on a strong cliff-face ledge over the ocean. A naturall barrier defense to approaching enemies and too high to effectively attack from the sea. Eventually the 'path' ends and Crys points along the cliff edge.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon walks along. She seems to be doing much better. Her tactical suit is sand robes to keep her cool.
[23:09] <13@Kit> <Crys> Here. If we can climb along the rock face the few hundred meters to the left and then scale the invert, after that, it is an easy climb to the old naval looks.
[23:10] <13@Kit> <Crys> If you don't think it possible... I will do it, masters.
[23:10] <13@Kit> <Chii> I-- I could do it!" 6She says stubbornly.
[23:10] <13Dias`> <Dias> You mean can do it, Chii. You can do it.
[23:11] <13@Kit> <Chii> Yeah!
[23:11] <13@Kane> I;m not sure that I would be able to.
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think Dias should do it
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at at it.
[23:11] <13Dias`> <Dias> Yeah? 6He looks at Cheryl.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your arm strength is the best.
[23:12] <13@Kit> 6Crys smiles at them. 1"It's fine. as long as two or three of us can make it, we can operate the leverage wheel and open the naval service gate." 6She gestures to a flust stone door beside them. A washed out, unmaintained staircase leads down into the waves.
[23:12] <13@Kit> 6Crys begins dropping the luggage one by one, then works her arms. 1"I will go with him."
09[23:12] <13@Jennifer> "I'll go too."
[23:12] <13Dias`> <Dias> It's true, my arms are insane.
[23:12] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel glances at X, "...can you make that distance?"
04[23:12] <13@Kane> No Jennifer. You won't.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No offense, but you don't look capable.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* She tells Crys.
15[23:13] * 13@Jennifer blinks and looks over at Kane. "Why not?"
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> <X> The shape of it would make rippling and grabbing too difficult.
[23:13] <13Dias`> 6Dias claps his together and rubs them eagerly. He undoes his gloves and tosses them over to X. Tape already wrapped around his fingers and hands. He moves over to the edge and glances around for a place to grab onto
[23:13] <13@Kane> You would most certainly fall to your death. Stop acting as if you have something to prove.
[23:13] <13@Kit> 6Crys pouts at Cheryl, then turns, making a rather animal-like leap from the platform, falling ten feet, then grabs a grip with one hand, swinging around onto the face, grabbing with her other for a hold someone with bigger hands couldn't manage. She begins scrambling to the left like she noted with almost no visible effort.
[23:14] <13@Kit> 6Chii gapes.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> So I'm wrong.
[23:14] <13Dias`> <Dias> Huh...Sure you still need me to do it Cheryl?
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
[23:14] <13@Kit> <Lilith> She mentioned two or three to operate the door.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You'll probably need to protect her
15[23:14] * 13@Jennifer frowns a bit. "I've kept pace before on something like this."
[23:14] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly, "...I... can't climb like this."
[23:14] <13@Kit> 6There's a yelp and Crys goes sliding off a slick surface.
[23:15] <13Dias`> <Dias> Maybe. 6He takes a step back then leaps forward grabbing onto something and swinging himself over to another spot.
[23:15] <13@Kit> 6She grabs ahold of the rock a few feet below, then climbs back up like nothing happened.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head.
[23:15] <13@Kit> <Chii> I-I'm still a better ninja.
[23:15] <13Dias`> 6Dias begins making his way up, leaping from spot to spot where he needs to
[23:16] <13@Kit> 6Once over the top of the naval access, Crys drops down, then pauses. 1"U-Um, Master Dias."
[23:16] <13Dias`> Not my name.
[23:16] <13@Kane> Do what you must. 6He notes with a shrug, apparently not bothered if she kills herself now.
[23:17] <13@Kit> <Crys> M-Master Dias, h-help.." 6She gulps, eyeing the end of a sword-- a knight in white-silver armor standing there in disbelief, probably. This is the dead weight shift being out here.
[23:18] <13Dias`> 6Dias sighs and he picks up his pace until he leaps up into the naval access.
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stands near Kane, apparantly taking a shine to him
[23:18] <13@Kit> 6The knight eyes Dias and reaches, apparently going for a horn-like object.
[23:18] <13Dias`> 6Dias lands in a crouch and kicks off at the guard, throwing a kick upwards for the horn thing
[23:19] <13@Kit> 6The horn goes flying upward and he takes the sword into both hands, making a clumsy swing down at Dias
[23:20] <13Dias`> 6Dias kicks off his standing foot and he swings it up at the sword as it comes in, aiming to drive it back upwards
15[23:20] * 13@Kane glances to Lemon slightly then peers up at the cliff, trying to see if he can make them out. Are they still visible?
15[23:20] * 13@Jennifer seems to be waiting to see if Dias needs any help. A hand on the stone.
[23:20] <13@Kit> 6Dias deflects the sword, and the knight stumbles, making a half-hearted kick at his side in desperation as he fumbles backwards.
[23:20] <13@Kit> 6Crys backs off, whimpering.
04[23:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're not climbing. 6* She tells Jennifer.
[23:21] <13Dias`> 6Dias twists as it hits him and he swings around, swinging his foot back in for the side of the guards head
15[23:21] * 13@Jennifer sighs and backs off, not about to go against Cheryl's orders on her promise.
[23:22] <13@Kit> 6The guard grunts, then twists around as he's knocked sideways, running into the wall. Cheryl and the others hear a 'thunk' then the knight goes to recover when a rock is dropped over his head. Crys smiles sheepishly at Dias, then moves for one of two wooden wheels by the door. 1"Here, get the other."
04[23:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It would have taken too long to get up there. If you wanted to go, you should have asked me when they were going. 6* She adds to Jennifer.
[23:22] <13Dias`> <Dias> Yeah, next time. Dont' tell the enemy you have back-up. It takes away the element of suprise. 6He moves over to the second wheel and grabs it. He than starts to crank it
09[23:23] <13@Jennifer> "Alright." *she looks over at Cheryl and nods*
[23:23] <13@Kit> <Crys> Sorry..." 6She sighs, turning it as well. The heavy stone slides inward, allowing a channel for the others to get in. Chii runs in, guns drawn, then eyes the downed knight and sighs, holstering them. Lilith walks in calmly.
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves in now, and X shifts to go as well, peering at Dias to see if he's okay . Lemon shyly follows Chii
[23:24] <13Dias`> They in?
15[23:24] * 13@Jennifer follows after Cheryl, she doesn't look happy still, but it's not due to Cheryl.
[23:25] <13@Kit> <Crys> Yeah, we can let go. The royal garden is just ahead
[23:25] <13Dias`> 6Dias moves to close it now.
15[23:25] * 13@Kane is with Cheryl, for the record.
[23:25] <13@Kit> 6Crys lets go, the two let go, it naturally swings back to its closed position by its massive weight. Crys moves ahead. Chii eyes Cheryl in annoyance at following the other fox, then chases her.
[23:26] <13Dias`> 6Dias follows after Crys
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl talks to Crys. "Question. What do the outfits look like here?"
[23:27] <13@Kit> <Crys> ...Well, I don't think it matters.
[23:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> Element of surprise.
[23:27] <13@Kit> <Crys> Yeah. Uh." 6She points.
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances ahead.
[23:27] <13@Kit> 6After a brief jog down a stone embankment, the 'corrdidor' opens up into a lust friend field set in a circle. Except among the greenery and the flower bushes strewn about, are at least three dozen knights.
[23:28] <13@Kane> ....
[23:28] <13Dias`> <Dias> I count....Ok I can't count that many so it's a lot.
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
[23:29] <13@Kit> 6The knights part, allowing a young, familiar boy to move through them to the front. Hell, he's even dressed in nice slacks and a flowing white shirt like he is in their reality. The ex-mute, Dawn, with his hair tied back in a ribbon.
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon shifts behind Kane, since he's a taller shield than Chii.
[23:29] <13@Kane> <Kane> Hmm. Interesting.
09[23:29] <13@Jennifer> "Oi vey..."
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That the girl or the boy one?
[23:30] <13Dias`> 6Dias sniffs the air. 1"Boy one."
09[23:30] <13@Jennifer> "The boy I think. Maybe."
[23:30] <13@Kit> <Dawn> ...
[23:30] <13@Kit> 6A thicker, larger man stands beside him in regal robes and plated armor, bearing a crown. He points a broadsword embroidered with gold at them. 1"Drop any weapons. Now."
[23:30] <13@Kit> <Crys> ..." 6She bites her lip.
[23:30] <13Dias`> 6Dias shifts his feet apart, sliding into a fighting stance.
15[23:31] * 13@Kane makes no motion to do that, glancing towards Cheryl slightly.
[23:31] <13@Kit> <Lilith> We could retre--" 6She pauses, turning to eye the end of a spear. A redhead with elven ears there, holding a gourd in one hand and the lance in the other. She smirks at Lilith.
[23:31] <13@Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes, having not heard a thing. The elf drinks.
15[23:31] * 13@Jennifer seems to go slack, putting a hand down at her side and taking her ready stance.
[23:32] <13@Kit> <Redhead> I wouldn't try anything funny, girly. Nice reflexes in that hand, though.
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to eye the elven, then reaches for Chii's hand.
14[23:32] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[23:32] <13Dias`> 6Dias glances backat Lilith then ahead again, he cocks his head to the side, cracking it.
[23:32] <13@Kit> <Chii> Don't, Cherry. ...I didn't hear her at all.
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Even she can't stop a gear.
[23:33] <13@Kit> <Redhead> What's a 'gear?'
[23:33] <13@Kit> <Redhead> Do it.
[23:33] <13@Kit> 6Chii stares in disbelief, then eyes Cheryl, offering a hand.
15[23:33] * 13@Jennifer sighs a bit more. "You asked for it."
[23:33] <13Dias`> <Dias> That's how we're gonna do it, Cheryl? 6He glances over at her.
[23:34] <13@Kit> 6The regal frowns. 1"Ayame, we have nae time for this."
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Too many for us to take alone.
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the hand, closing her eyes, focusing on creating the gear
[23:34] <13@Kit> <Ayame> No one move but them. I won't warn y'again.
[23:34] <13Dias`> <Dias> Sorry, I don't play that way.
[23:34] <13@Kit> 6Lilith backs off, Ayame spinning the spear and then planting it in the ground.
09[23:34] <13@Jennifer> "This should be entertaining..." *she has a Warren look*
[23:35] <13@Kit> 6Dawn seems to lock onto Dias at that comment.
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stands ready. Lemon tries to look unnoticeable.
[23:35] <13@Kit> 6Ayame peers up at the gear, whistling. She grins. 1"Interesting. Okay. You first, girlies."
15[23:35] * 13@Kane peers at Ayame quietly, still in front of Lemon, though the look in his eyes shows that he's ready to fight.
[23:35] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...I think she's lost it. But let her have it, Cheryl.
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl aims at Dawn's soldiers and unleashes a barrage of missiles and blasts.
[23:36] <13@Kit> 6Dawn blinks and brings up a hand, letting them all slam into a barrier that flickers with a tinge of white and black.
[23:36] <13@Kit> 6Ayame sighs. 1"Hey, bitch. Over here. I said you first."
09[23:36] <13@Jennifer> "The heck..."
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes forward at Dawn's soldiers, ignoring Ayame. She tries to go for a stomp manuever.
[23:36] <13Dias`> 6Dias dashes in after Cheryl, heading in behind her.
[23:36] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Don't make me pick up Gleipnir.
[23:37] <13@Kit> 6Dawn's eyes widen, and he kneels, but the barrier holds against Cheryl's foot.
09[23:37] <13@Jennifer> "She really isn't hearing you anymore."
03[23:37] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl aims at the ground now around the soldiers, firing into it, seeing if she can break it apart.
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <X> They're strong.
[23:37] <13@Kit> 6Ayame twitches. 1"I noticed." 6She grips the spear, yanking it out of the ground, takes one drink, then moves forward with one step and hurtles the lance at Cheryl from behind.
09[23:37] <13@Jennifer> "But seriously... Gleipnir?"
15[23:38] * 13@Kane pulls his arms upward with his rifle, firing a shot for the lance.
[23:38] <13@Kit> <Ayame> It's a sealing spear. I didn't want to handicap her, but she asked for it. Hrmph. Honorless dog.
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> (Chii. Make abarrier)
[23:38] <13Dias`> 6Dias twists around and spin kicks into the side of spear as it goes by, aiming to send it off course.
03[23:38] * Jackieness (Psy@h136.30.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
09[23:38] <13@Jennifer> "Well it matches the name." *she shifts in front of Ayame*
[23:39] <13@Kit> 6Dawn makes a face, some of the shots making it through, two soldiers downed. The spear on the other hand, is just barely missed by Dias' foot-- launched quickly enough that it seems almost fired from something unhuman, perhaps a cannon. The shot, on the other hand, at light speeds hits it. Or appeared to. Nothing happened.
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple behind Ayame and stabs through it with an energy blade for her back
[23:40] <13Dias`> 6Dias lands, narrowing his eyes at it's speed.
[23:40] <13@Kit> 6Ayame jerks from that, however, her eyes widening, then stumbles forward before hitting the ground, apparently fallen.
15[23:40] * 13@Kane makes a face and then peers at Ayame. He raises his rifle and fires for her haid to be sure.
[23:40] <13@Kit> 6Chii tries to bring up an earthen ward, but it pierces like butter. 1"Ch-Cherry!?"
[23:41] <13@Kit> 6The shot hits her, cutting through one of her elven ears and through the head, burning the ground on the other side.
[23:41] <13@Kit> NRP: Ayame^
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> <X> You are rying to kil l her?
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit by the spear, staggering forward. Thankfully, she doesn't run on spirit energy, but now knows Chii is useless.
[23:42] <13@Kane> <Kane> She is an enemy.
15[23:42] * 13@Jennifer eyes the seemingly dead elf in front of her now. "I think he managed to."
[23:42] <13@Kit> <Ayame> ...Certainly seems like it.." 6She slowly starts to push from the ground, standing up despite the hole and blood pouring from-- though it slows.
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> <X> I see.
[23:42] <13@Kit> 6Ayame stands, cracking her neck, the hole filling itself in and reverting to normal. She sighs. 1"That hurt, punk."
09[23:42] <13@Jennifer> "...Okay that's just screwed up."
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* X blinks in surprise.
[23:43] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes Ayame. 1"Does everybody cheat around here?"
[23:43] <13@Kit> 6Chii screams inside Cheryl when the spear hits, then breathes raspily before passing out.
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
15[23:43] * 13@Kane makes a face. 1Immortal.
[23:44] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Yeah. I get called that a lot.
[23:44] <13Dias`> <Dias> I call that cheating.
[23:44] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Call your 'gear' off and we'll resolve this like gentile.
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gathers her own energy into her hand, getting ready for an attack
[23:44] <13Dias`> <Dias> Not my call. 6he starts stretching.
[23:44] <13@Kane> Nor mine.
09[23:45] <13@Jennifer> "She's kinda our leader, you're gonna have to ask her."
[23:45] <13@Kit> 6Ayame eyes the gear. 1"Besides, girly. You stay that gigantic, and Reia'll show up with the guardian dragons."
[23:45] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Reis is never far from her.
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....6* She shifts back to her normal form, catching Chii by the scruff of her neck
[23:45] <13@Kit> 6Dawn eyes them, then rises slowly, panting a bit as he apparently dissolves the barrier.
[23:45] <13Dias`> 6Dias glances back at Cheryl now. 1"...Oh this day is just getting shittier by the minute."
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're not letting ourselves get caught. Lemon, get ready.
[23:46] <13@Kit> <Regal> Now. I wish to discuss a letter I received yest--" 6He pauses in midspeech.
09[23:46] <13@Jennifer> "Letter...?"
[23:47] <13@Kit> 6Crys kneels in front of the king, having never seemingly moved from being afront the group-- now with a knife in the king's gut. Dawn just now turns to react, blinking and stepping back in surprise.
09[23:47] <13@Jennifer> "..." *she stares in surprise herself*
[23:48] <13@Kit> <Crys> I'm... sorry. So sorry. I... I...
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops her order, to stare at the scene
[23:50] <13@Kit> 6The King blinks, then drops slowly to a knee before slumping over her. She strains with the weight, then steps to the side, her arm covered in his blood. The soldiers circle around her, blades drawn already.
[23:51] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Huh. Didn't know that kind of ability existed.
[23:51] <13Dias`> 6Dias stares, blankly, clearly not expecting that.
15[23:51] * 13@Kane doesn't say anything as he stands there, ready to leave.
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... if he's dead, that means we get the crystal.
[23:52] <13Dias`> <Dias> If we can survive long enough.;
09[23:52] <13@Jennifer> "What? Stabbing someone in the gut? It's a time honored ability used by many people."
[23:52] <13@Kit> 6Crys stares at the swords, wincing and sobbing. Then just cringes as they go to repay the karmic deed. At that moment, Dawn thrusts a jeweled sword forward, blocking the downthrusts. They eye him and he shakes his head, making a hand gesture.
[23:52] <13@Kane> I hardly see that as an option with what we're up against.
[23:52] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Time-honored ability indeed.
[23:53] <13@Kit> 6Ayame walks through them toward Dawn and the soldiers, apparently not threatened or concerned with the group.
[23:53] <13@Kit> <Ayame> He's saying to get lost. Now shoo.
[23:53] <13Dias`> <Dias> Can't argue that.
[23:53] <13@Kit> 6The soldiers peer at her like she's crazy, so she slams her spear into the ground, creating a small fissure. They get lost. Quickly.
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tosses Chii over her shoulder, watching. She motions for Lemon to stay ready
09[23:54] <13@Jennifer> "Dawn's tough here."
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Everyone is tough here.
[23:54] <13@Kit> 6Dawn stares at Ayame, then looks to Crys a moment before nodding to the elf. She shakes her head, sighing. 1"Okay, so you fancy the girl. I get it."
[23:54] <13@Kane> That rock is tough here. 6He points towards it.
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes a rock, then Kane
[23:54] <13@Kit> 6Ayame turns to eye Cheryl. 1"Gear-woman."
15[23:54] * 13@Kane shrugs slightly.
[23:54] <13@Kit> 6Dawn puts a hand on Crys' shoulder, then starts to lead her off.
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the woman.
[23:55] <13Dias`> <Dias> If she asks us to do something for them....
[23:55] <13@Kit> <Ayame> The faulty prince is going to have a word with the evodeviate. I'm sure we'd like you to stick around.
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're not sticking around in a cell.
[23:56] <13@Kit> <Ayame> I figured. How about the meeting room?
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And why would we trust you - we just got your king killed.
[23:56] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Eh. I'm not a Temerity Knight anymore. I just follow the kid on an old promise.
[23:56] <13@Kane> It would be better if we could gather the item we seek and leave.
09[23:56] <13@Jennifer> "He's still moving I think..."
[23:56] <13@Kit> 6Ayame grins at Cheryl. 1"You don't have to trust me at all. I don't give a shit. But I'd rather we had drinks instead of a pissing contest."
[23:57] <13Dias`> <Dias> I like Kane's idea. 6He gnaws on his nail again
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll stay. Gives Lemon time to lock down the location.
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> The crystal is moving away from us now.
[23:57] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Great. You a drinker?
15[23:58] * 13@Kane peers at Lemon. 1Moving?
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes.
[23:58] <13Dias`> <Dias> Great...
[23:58] <13@Kane> Which direction?
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clicks her tongue, thinking
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon points where everyone left to
[23:58] <13@Kit> <Lilith> I believe I know where the crystal is.
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> Could explain his power.
[23:58] <13@Kane> Indeed.
[23:58] <13Dias`> <Dias> What?!
[23:59] <13@Kit> <Lilith> That strange sword.
[23:59] <13@Kane> The boy, Dawn, is this crystal.
[23:59] <13@Kane> MRP: Er has.
[23:59] <13Dias`> <Dias> Ah man.
[23:59] <13@DeathStar> <X> They hold power, do they not? It's why we need them
[23:59] <13@Kane> If that is the case, then we should all modify them to fit on our weapons.
13[00:00] * Day changed to Friday, December 19th 2008.
Session Time: Fri Dec 19 00:00:00 2008
[00:01] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll consider it. For now, meeting room.
[00:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* X thinks on that.
[00:01] <13@Kit> <Lilith> If we desire this realm's crystal, we need that sword, I believe.
[00:01] <13@Kit> <Ayame> This way, please.
15[00:01] * 13@Jennifer goes as directed.
03[00:01] * Kane is now known as Xan|Gone
[00:02] <13@Kit> -Scene Shift-
[00:02] <13@Kit> Location: Castle Meeting Room
[00:03] <13@Kit> 6The interior is nothing short of magnificent, everything borne of light marble and gilded decoration, the chairs and tables all of what resembles white oak. Tapestries strewn with dragons, lions and ordained sunlight.
[00:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes at the dragons
[00:04] <13@Kit> 6Ayame, apparently never setting her gourd down, guzzles from it-- surprisingly she's either got some trick or she's filling it when people aren't looking. Drinks, a pale coloured liquid of insanely strong alcohol content are poured in small glasses for everyone present. Lilith sniffs it, then pinches her nose.
[00:04] <13@Kit> <Lilith> B-Burns..
[00:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stands there with Kane, who refuses drinks
[00:04] <13Dias`> 6Dias wiggles his finger in his ear as he eyes the drink
[00:05] <13@Kit> 6It's been at least an hour, and guards eye them from the hall with angry looks, but Dawn finally walks in, still holding the sword. He walks over to Ayame who rises and makes a show of 'whispering' into her ear.
[00:05] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Ah. Odd.
15[00:05] * 13@Jennifer doesn't touch her drink either, preferring to drink some water from a canteen.
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the sword now.
[00:05] <13@Kit> 6Crys walks in now, and bows to the group. 1"I-I'm sorry."
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* She glances at Dias. It's clear she's debating grabbing the sword, and punching it
[00:06] <13@Kit> <Crys> ...Frankly I should be executed, but... the heir has agreed to help me, instead.
15[00:06] * 13Dias` glance sat Cheryl. He just smiles, clearly enjoying her line of thought
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's good.
[00:06] <13@Kit> 6Ayame eyes the two, raising an eyebrow.
[00:07] <13@Kit> <Crys> The geas Lady Hawthorn placed on me was an order to kill the King. I was chosen for the task because... I have a certain... ability that would ensure my success as long as it was unexpected.
[00:07] <13Dias`> <Dias> I don't like being used like that.
[00:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Should get used to it
[00:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's tone is flat. Probably used to be used.
[00:08] <13Dias`> <Dias> I'll pass on that.
[00:08] <13@Kit> <Crys> ...I intended to fail, by sending a letter to the kingdom ahead of time-- however... by the geas or my own inability to warn them properly, I still succeeded. Which... I am sad to say I am grateful for. If I failed...
[00:08] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Her village was toast." 6She drinks more.
[00:09] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well you people don't seem to care in the least.
[00:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the two. "He's right."
09[00:09] <13@Jennifer> "Sounds like we were working for the bad guys..."
[00:09] <13@DeathStar> <X> It sounds as if our guide betrayed us.
[00:09] <13@Kit> <Ayame> It was Dawn's decision. What's the point in killing some girl under a spell. She's just an emmisary, not the villain.
[00:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look. We'd really just like that sword of yours so we can go.
[00:10] <13@Kit> 6Ayame straightens out. 1"The desert roses. Those two are the culprits. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like you guys to show me where the Wellspring oasis is, if we did that, her village would still be toast. So... Dawn wants to liberate it first."
[00:10] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes Cheryl now.
[00:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias. Her looks says 'you better not be wanting to play hero'
[00:11] <13@Kit> <Ayame> The sword, eh? What's it to you. Be honest.
[00:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's key to saving a lot of people's lives.
[00:11] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks says he's more tired of this than anything else
[00:11] <13@Kit> <Ayame> The same is true to us. It only responds to the prince, but it's a very powerful family heirloom.
[00:12] <13@Kit> <Ayame> But. He agreed to hand it over.
[00:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thanks. 6* She holds her hand out
[00:12] <13@Kit> <Ayame> If.
[00:12] <13Dias`> <Dias> Why can't people just be nice these days?
[00:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clenches her hand into a fist.
[00:13] <13@Kit> <Ayame> If you help us liberate the borderland she hails from and take the annoying redhead with you when we find him.
[00:13] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ..........
[00:14] <13@Kit> <Crys> Sorry... I told her.
[00:14] <13Dias`> 6Dias downs the liqour, making a face.
[00:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't look at Crys. Apparantly she isn't acknowledging her existence. She peers at X, debating rippling Dawn's hand off.
[00:14] <13@Kit> <Ayame> John, wasn't it? A nosey do-gooder showed up with that name in Nezereb. Caused a good deal of trouble.
[00:15] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great.
09[00:15] <13@Jennifer> "If it's our John."
[00:15] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. We'll do it.
[00:15] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Supposedly he was looking into the Eikoudan legend there, but last I hear he was sidetracked to Nexus, upholding the 'law' in a lawless city.
[00:16] <13Dias`> 6Dias tosses the cup onto the table and he scratches the back of his head
[00:16] <13@Kit> 6Dawn nods to Cheryl, bowing his head.
[00:16] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great. 6* She notes if time is moving that fast here where John was only gone an hour, it's probably resulting in massive time loss in their home reality
[00:16] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Good. When things are back to normal, the kid'll give you his family relic. We won't take it so far as to ask for help with the desert roses."
09[00:17] <13@Jennifer> "Could have just been really slow where we were before..." *she notes, catching Cheryl's tone for what it is*
[00:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl wonders how she had any tone.
[00:18] <13Dias`> 6Dias shifts his other hand behind his head now as he waits quietly
[00:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're not helping you with the roses. But we'll liberate the village. And that's it.
[00:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias has an image to keep up, after all.
[00:19] <13@Kit> 6Crys gapes, then falls to her knees in front of Cheryl grovelling. 1"Oh thank you, master Cherry! Thank you, thank you!"
[00:19] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks over at Cheryl now. 1"Really?!"
[00:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You - don't talk to me. 6* She tells Crys coldly.
[00:19] <13@Kit> 6Crys pauses, then jerks away from Cheryl slightly, looking downcast again.
[00:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You sending the letter could have gotten my team killed. I'm not about to forget that.
[00:20] <13Dias`> 6Dias scratches his chin now, surprised Cheryl would let me play hero.
[00:20] <13@Kit> <Crys> I understand..." 6She nods slowly, peering at the floor.
[00:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You got a place we can stay? 6* She asks Ayame.
[00:20] <13@Kit> 6Ayame moves over and holds her gourd out to Cheryl.
[00:20] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Here.
[00:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it, then shakes her head no. "Pass."
[00:21] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Ouch. It's a tradition where I'm from. Share a cup and all is forgotten.
[00:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Forgive me if I don't trust anyone here anymore.
15[00:21] * 13@Jennifer rubs the back of her head and frowns.
[00:21] <13@Kit> <Ayame> All the more reason to. I have no hard feelings. You can always count on me to be behind the kid. No more. No less.
[00:21] <13@Kit> 6Dawn slowly eyes Ayame, then peers away, rubbing his neck.
[00:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head once. "I just want a room."
15[00:23] * 13Dias` stands up finally
[00:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon tends to Chii in the meantime, watching.
[00:23] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Hm.. I see. Well, the nobles' quarters on the floor below this are being set up by the servants for your merry crew.
[00:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. 6* She turns and moves out of the room.
[00:23] <13@Kit> 6Ayame smiles cheerfully. 1"I'll be on the roof, drinking enough for all of us."
[00:24] <13@Kit> 6Ayame turns to do just that. Dawn stares blankly, then eyes the group, nodding. He gives a smile-- but it's forced, as if he doesn't really know how.
[00:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon lifts Chii up, and Kane exits as well. X walks out, and Lemon follows
[00:24] <13Dias`> 6Dias moves out after X and Lilith
[00:24] <13@Kit> <Ayame> By the way. The city is open to you to prepare for the journey. But... I would keep news of the King on low. After all, it's currently confidential. We don't want Hawthorn to know just yet and torch the place."
[00:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts in response, to indicate she heard.
[00:25] <13@Kit> <Ayame> That and sympathisers may try to turn the throne over to them in hopes of peace since there's no longer a monarch. Besides that-- just try not to bug Reia in the library and don't assassinate the kid.
[00:26] <13@Kit> 6Dawn jerks at that, then hurries out, as if just now realizing that's a possibility.
[00:26] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Cheers.
[00:26] <13@Kit> -End-

[00:39] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: Day 4 of Reality Adventures. After Episode 2.
[00:39] <13@DeathStar> Location: The Spire
[00:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* X sits in the noble quarters she was assigned, peering out a window. She's got her tactical suit looking like one
[00:40] <13Dias`> 6The door to her room is knocked on like only one man could knock.
[00:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes, John?
[00:41] <13Dias`> <Dias> ....JOHN!? Oh that's just cold. 6He says throught he door
[00:41] <13@DeathStar> <X> You may enter, Dias.
[00:41] <13Dias`> 6Dias opens the door and sticks his head in. He let's out a whistle. 1"Lookin' good."
[00:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Dias, squinting at him. "What?"
[00:44] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...Does he always invade without knocking?
[00:44] <13Dias`> <Dias> Just thought I'd tell you looked good. 6He looks over at Lilith. 1"I did knock.
[00:45] <13@DeathStar> <X> He knocked. 6* She peers at Lilith, worriedly. "Are you sick?"
03[00:45] * Sammael is now known as Jennifer
[00:45] <13@Kit> 6Lilith stares, then looks to X and just looks troubled, she peers away out the window like X was.
15[00:45] * 13@Jennifer is out wandering about, having shifted her tact suit into something respectable that fits in, she walks along taking in the sights.
[00:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias now. "..."
[00:47] <13Dias`> 6Dias shrugs, not sure what to do with Lilith. 1"I just thought I'd see if you wanted to go look around. Might as well see what's out here while we're here.
[00:47] <13@DeathStar> <X> No thanks. I'd rather conserve energy.
04[00:48] -Rask- [roc.esper.net notice] Attention all roc.esper.net users! Roc is going to be going down in about five minutes for about five minutes for a minor operation. We regret the inconvenience.
[00:48] <13@Kit> <Lilith> You have not eaten. It would be to your benefit to go with him and see what can be obtained. We will be travelling overland again, so you must eat appropriately.

[00:50] <13Dias`> 6Dias rubs the back of his neck. 1"Well if you don't want to spend some time with me, I guess that's fine."
[00:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* X lays down a bit on the silk beds. "If you want to spend time with me, sit down in here."
[00:53] <13Dias`> <Dias> Cool. 6He steps in, shifting the door shut with his foot and he glances around for a and grabs a vase to sit on
[00:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stares at Dias now, clearly giving him a look
[00:56] <13Dias`> 6Dias pauses as he's about to sit on it, his eyes looking at her. 1"What?"
[00:57] <13@DeathStar> <X> Are you trying to break stuff?
[00:58] <13Dias`> 6Dias slowly looks down than at her. 1"It's a chair."
[00:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> You're...an idiot.
[01:00] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...It's not? 6He eeks and stands upright. 1"How am I supposed to know?"
[01:04] <13@DeathStar> <X> Because it is not in the shape of chair! It does not look like a chair! Y-You're...just a malfuctioning weapon!
[01:05] <13Dias`> 6Dias glances around for a chair and just gives up, hopping onto the bed and landing beside X. 1"So what do you think of this place so far? Kinda cool, huh?"
[01:07] <13@DeathStar> <X> Don't be fooled by the sights. 6* She peers at Dias, looking slightly embarrassed, but hides it with gruffness. "It's full of unkillable people."
[01:07] <13Kit> <Lilith> A strength of resiliance.
[01:08] <13Dias`> I have yet to meat someone I haven't been able to beat.
[01:08] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She eyes Dias now
[01:08] <13Kit> 6Lilith shifts slightly, bowing her head as if nodding off to sleep. 1"One wonders what became of a world to create such a hardened breed. Not unkillable, yet so unwilling to die."
[01:09] <13@DeathStar> <X> I think Cheryl could beat you. Since losing her offspring, she's become rather formidable
[01:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sits in the garden area, if Jen would so choose to meet with her
[01:10] <13Dias`> 6Dias frowns slightly at that. 1"It boils down to one thing, whoever has the stronger drive to win. What the drive is that makes them keep fighting.
[01:11] <13@DeathStar> <X> So since you don't have an offspring to fuel your drive, you are not as good as her. Perhaps you need one
15[01:12] * 13@Jennifer happens to be walking through the garden then! She stops by Lemon, smiling, "Enjoying the scenery?"
[01:13] <13@DeathStar> <X> You're the one who doesn't have enough drive. 6* She crosses her arms.
[01:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sits in the garden area, if Jen would so choose to meet with her - still
[01:14] <13Dias`> <Dias> Her drive's just stronger than mine. It's like when two fists meet head on. The stronger one always wins.
04[01:14] -NickServ- Password accepted -- you are now recognized.
15[01:15] * 13@Sammael happens to be walking through the garden then! She stops by Lemon, smiling, "Enjoying the scenery?"
09[01:15] <13@Sammael> *Jennier
13[01:15] Jennifer Nickname is already in use.
13[01:15] * Press Control+F1 to retry taking the nick Jennifer!
14[01:15] * Jennifer (gabbyleen@cpe-98-15-159-1.hvc.res.rr.com) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Sammael)))
04[01:15] -NickServ- Ghost with your nickname has been killed.
03[01:15] * Sammael is now known as Jennifer
[01:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks up from some plants. "I am finding ways to spend my time."
[01:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> Then you need a stronger drive. I'm sure getting a kid would be easy for you to do.
[01:16] <13Dias`> <Dias> Really? With who?
13[01:17] * These users have been split from #taw: Xan|Gone - check netsplits window for details!
[01:17] <13@DeathStar> <X> I thought you've had many whores in your time. OR use your powers.
[01:18] <13Dias`> 6Dias goes to say something than just closes his jaw. 1"Well that's no fun."
[01:18] <13@DeathStar> <X> If you pay me enough, I'll let you sire one with Lilith.
[01:19] <13Dias`> 6Dias' jaw drops at that one and he just stares at her with shock
09[01:19] <13@Jennifer> "It's a nice way." *she smiles and messes with the "skirt" of the outfit she's wearing and takes a seat next to her* "It was a mucked up way getting here... but now that we're here it's great."
[01:19] <13Kit> 6Lilith slowly turns her head, looking horror-struck.
[01:20] <13@DeathStar> <X> I'm joking.
[01:20] <13@DeathStar> <X> No man may sire with Lilith
[01:20] <13Kit> 6Lilith reels, hitting her head on the window sill, she frowns at the rock, then peers out, looking sullen, probably embarassed.
[01:21] <13@DeathStar> <X> Unless she really wants it. Then I will consider it.
13[01:21] * These users have rejoined #taw: Xan|Gone - check netsplits window for details!
[01:21] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks at Lilith. 1"So? How 'bout it?"
04[01:21] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Is it? 6* She asks, peering at Jennifer. She appears to be looking for someone.
[01:22] <13Kit> <Lilith> Dame. No way.
[01:22] <13Dias`> <Dias> Damn. Guess that just leaves you, X. 6He flashes his award winning smile at her
09[01:22] <13@Jennifer> "Yep. Enchanted cities... you know, I didn't really think about it when I wanted to go on this mission... but seeing all these new worlds is going to be... well... awesome."
[01:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* X jerks at that, red faced. "I would not let you take my priceless virtue."
04[01:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stops in her peering about for said someone, staring at Jennifer blankly, clearly not comprehending
[01:23] <13Dias`> <Dias> While I'll admit it is priceless, calling it virtue tho? Just sounds wierd.
[01:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks insulted now, twitching in anger. "Are you saying I have no virtue?"
15[01:24] * 13@Jennifer sighs a bit and stretches. "We're going to see many things no one else in our reality has ever seen before. Encounter all sorts of worlds and possibilities. It's really the chance of a lifetime..."
[01:25] <13Dias`> 6Dias puts his hands up. 1"Woh woh woh. I would never say that. It's just weird to hear someone call their viriginity, virtue."
[01:25] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I see. I would rather locate Benjamin and go back home to the life I am used to. 6* She notes.
[01:25] <13@DeathStar> <X> Lilith - isn't it a virtue?!
[01:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* X turns to look at Lilith
09[01:27] <13@Jennifer> "Me too of course... just looking for a bright side to our struggles I guess."
[01:27] <13Dias`> 6Dias pats a hand to his face
15[01:27] * 13@Jennifer tilts her head at Lemon. "So who are you looking for?"
[01:28] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I was hoping to speak with Crystal. 6* She peers back down at her lap nw
[01:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias. "She agrees with me." 6* She tells Dias, as if she heard Lilith in her head.
[01:29] <13Dias`> <Dias> I figured she would. 6He sighs.
[01:29] <13@DeathStar> <X> Anyway, I don't see why I would give you my virtue. If you need a kid, find someone else. The Carmichael girl would do.
[01:30] <13Dias`> <Dias> I'll pass on that. 6He falls backwards and lays on her bed now
09[01:30] <13@Jennifer> "Oh, well... if I see her I'll let her know you're looking." *she stretches a bit* "You should try and enjoy yourself a bit while we're resting. Does the spirit good."
[01:30] <13@DeathStar> <X> You wouldn't want her? Who..would you want? 6* She sounds curious
[01:31] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I see. Then would you like to have sex?
[01:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers up at her.
[01:31] <13Dias`> <Dias> I thought it was pretty obvious by now.
15[01:31] * 13@Jennifer goes red and babbles a bit. "I-I... that is, you see I..."
[01:31] <13@DeathStar> <X> So you want Lilith for real? 6* She looks surprised.
04[01:32] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I am quite good at it. I assure you we would both enjoy ourselves. 6* She shifts closer to Jennifer now.
[01:32] <13Dias`> 6Dias laughs out dryly. 1"And encroach on Drake's territory? I'm malfunctioning, not suicidal.
15[01:32] * 13@Jennifer shifts away nervously. "I-It's not... anything about you Lemon... it's just that... well... I'm kinda saving myself... again... and well..."
[01:33] <13Kit> <Lilith> You want someone who vowed to kill you-- that is somewhat suicidal.
[01:33] <13@DeathStar> <X> He wants me? 6* She jerks at that.
[01:34] <13Kit> <Lilith> You did not know?" 6She rears, looking surprised.
[01:34] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks up from his vantage point at the two
[01:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks surprised. "I thought he was teasing me because he enjoyed making me angry." 6* She seems to be fumbling now with her hands.
[01:34] <13Kit> <Lilith> I believe he does, but that is besides said point.
04[01:35] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Saving yourself? I do not understand. 6* She leans in closer to Jennifer, so their lips are closer. "If you would like, though, I would be glad to let you have your way with me."
[01:35] <13Kit> "My, my. If it isn't that bothersome nightingale and the spirits-loving elf, it's complete strangers with no grace in private dealings of the heart, soul and virtuous physical presence."
[01:35] <13Kit> 6The voice carries softly, aside the two in the garden.
[01:36] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well I do like to tease you cuz it's fun to see you get angry once in awhile.
[01:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks, peering for the source of the voice.
15[01:36] * 13@Jennifer widens her eyes and whimpers a little then eagerly looks over at the distraction.
[01:36] <13@DeathStar> <X> Oh. See, Lilith. I told you he only wished to make me angry.
[01:36] <13Kit> <Lilith> Yes, I agreed with you. He still wants you. It makes sense-- he is malfunctioning, after all.
[01:37] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes Lilith now than looks at X to see how she takes Lil's last sentence
[01:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* X bites her lip at that, peering at Dias slowly. She seems to be looking at Dias like one would a poor puppy.
[01:37] <13@DeathStar> <X> Perhaps I should speak with the General. I think he wants her - perhaps he broke him.
[01:38] <13@DeathStar> *she
[01:39] <13Dias`> 6Dias sighs and he sits up and hops off the bed. 1"Do whatever you want."
04[01:39] <13Kit> 6Standing less than a foot from both Lemon and Jennifer is a girl, who could be no older than fourteen, with flowing golden-brown hair, a pale, sun-less complexion and clear green eyes, that while still showing some of the hope of a youngster, have a steady and shred glance to them, one bored of everything common and nothing more surprising.
[01:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> So you--do want me? I thought you liked the General. 6* She asks him.
[01:40] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Hello. My name is Lemon.
09[01:40] <13@Jennifer> "H-Hello there... I don't know what you mean by a nightengale... but I'm Jennifer."
[01:40] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Perhaps there is a bird here.
[01:41] <13Kit> 6She's wearing pristene clothing, shawls and a tunic-like garment, minor jewelry that is by no means sparse and shows either her wealth or status or both, and under one arm, is clutching a book, tome, as thick as her arm. She tilts her head at their deliberation and laughs gently, as if amused by their naivity.
[01:41] <13Kit> <Girl> So quick to introduce, perhaps you're nervous?
[01:42] <13Dias`> <Dias> I do, but its...6He rubs the back of his neck. 1"It's hard to explain how feel towards Cheryl."
[01:42] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> No. I'm just pleased to meet you.
[01:42] <13@DeathStar> <X> So you want us...both? 6* She makes a face at that - wondering if he thinks she's into threesomes.
09[01:42] <13@Jennifer> "It's just the friendly thing to do with someone you've never met before."
[01:42] <13Kit> <Girl> Oh, not you. I meant her-- the one with a soul.
[01:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks at that one, peering down at herself.
[01:43] <13Dias`> <Dias> I did want her, it's not like that anymore, I guess.
[01:43] <13@DeathStar> <X> Oh. Why? 6* She looks curious now
09[01:44] <13@Jennifer> "...Just because she's a robot doesn't mean she can't have a soul."
[01:44] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... 6* She suddenly looks sad for whatever reason.
15[01:44] * 13@Jennifer blinks and looks over at Lemon. "Hey... I'm sure you do."
[01:45] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well she's married for one thing.
04[01:45] <13Kit> <Girl> 'Mirrors to the soul,' once upon a time a story read. The eyes never lie to ones true self-- You are but a babe fresh of the manger, not quite to your own, not quite dependent, either. Don't take my words so harshly." 6She peers at Jennifer. 1"Robot, is that what you call it? Automata, relics of an age long past... No one seems to perfect their building for some reason."
[01:45] <13@DeathStar> <X> That would stop you?
[01:46] <13Dias`> <Dias> I may not be the most....straight and narrow guy, but if there's one thing I never cross is somebodies happiness.
[01:46] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> .... mirrors to the soul.... 6* She mumbles. She seems to look even more crushed now.
[01:46] <13Kit> <Girl> Most curious. Where do you come from? Far away, perhaps? Tell me all about it. I want to know. Everything." 6Her eyes widen, as much as the smirk to her lips, alight with an almost obsessive curiousity at the two.
09[01:46] <13@Jennifer> "Uhh yeah, we come from really far away."
[01:46] <13@DeathStar> <X> And why do you want me? 6* She looks curious now.
09[01:47] <13@Jennifer> "Where we're from, anima as you call it... they aren't relics, Lemon here's a top work of art actually."
[01:48] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I am...art. 6* She rises now, bows her head, and moves off, head hung low
09[01:48] <13@Jennifer> "H-Hey! Lemon!"
09[01:48] <13@Jennifer> "That was a compliment!" *she frowns* "You're a person, a good one!"
[01:49] <13Kit> <Girl> I think you depressed her. Shame. I wanted to study her more." 6She seems to pout childishly.
15[01:49] * 13@Jennifer crosses her arms. "I think calling her soulless kinda started it."
[01:49] <13Dias`> 6Dias rubs the back of his hair. 1"Well...I..."
[01:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes him, then peers away, a bit red faced. "If you don't want me, then you shouldn't pretend to."
[01:50] <13Kit> <Girl> Are you daft? She is but a baby, I said. Still developing and in need of nurturing. Abandoning her to scold a strange is hardly the devotion that one deserves.
09[01:51] <13@Jennifer> "Oh nwo you say she instead of it." *she gets up and heads after Lemon*
[01:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon, rather quick on her feet, has already left the immediate area.
[01:52] <13Dias`> <Dias> I enjoy the time I spend with you, you have the looks part down pat and you can kick some mean ass.
15[01:52] * 13@Jennifer sighs and stops, "I'll have to track her down..." *she looks back at the girl*
[01:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> I can kick your ass. 6* She notes
[01:53] <13Dias`> <Dias> Why do you think I didn't want to fight you before we left?
[01:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> Because I can beat you?
[01:55] <13Dias`> <Dias> Aye aye.
15[01:55] * 13@Jennifer turns around to face her. "Anyways... you talk well... older then you look."
[01:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at him now. "So you want me." 6* She seems to think on that, like chewing on meat.
[01:55] <13Kit> 6The girl isn't facing her, flipping pages through the tome at this point, searching for something.
15[01:56] * 13@Jennifer sighs and walks back over towards her, peering over her shoulder a bit.
[01:56] <13Dias`> 6Dias scratches the back of his head again, his cocky confident air around him gone.
04[01:56] <13Kit> 6She snaps the book shut, eyeing Jennifer at her shoulder. 1"How rude."
[01:56] <13@DeathStar> <X> You can't have my virtue unless you marry me. 6* She states.
09[01:57] <13@Jennifer> "Says you." *she smirks a bit*
[01:57] <13Kit> <Girl> Yes. Says I. Clearly more educated and well-mannered. May I help you, lost one?
[01:57] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks at her now, his hand lowering. 1"Marry?"
[01:58] <13Kit> 6Lilith peers over a the two now. She narrows her eyes at Dias.
15[01:58] * 13@Jennifer furrows her brow in a very Warren look and stands straight. "Sure... what's your name anyway?"
[01:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> I know what men want from women. If you want me, then you want to have sex with me. And I'm saying I won't do that without marriage first.
[01:59] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well I guess I can't argue the logic behind that.
[02:00] <13@DeathStar> <X> So. Do you plan to marry me? 6* She eyes him now. Her expression comically serious
[02:02] <13Kit> 6The girl eyes her like she's strange, then most forward and turns, grasping the tome under her arm again. 1"Reis Veritas Sol."
[02:02] <13Dias`> <Dias> How 'bout we try the dating thing first?
15[02:02] * 13@Jennifer blinks a bit. "Sol? So that makes you..."
[02:02] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... Alright. 6* She peers at Lilith. "Sex is not suppose to be done on dates."
[02:03] <13@DeathStar> <X> Right?
[02:03] <13Kit> <Reis> You are in my garden.
[02:03] <13Kit> <Lilith> That depends on those dating.
[02:03] <13Dias`> 6Dias slowly raises his hand.
[02:03] <13@DeathStar> <X> Did you have sex with Drake on your dates?
[02:03] <13Kit> <Lilith> N-No!
[02:03] <13@DeathStar> <X> Then neither shall I.
09[02:03] <13@Jennifer> "Oh, cool. It's a nice garden." *she says unphased*
[02:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* X glances at Dias again
[02:04] <13Dias`> <Dias> Does this include oral sex, too?
[02:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* X blinks at that, then peers at Lilith again, confused. Clearly not knowing the difference.
[02:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks back at Dias as Lilith stands there
[02:07] <13@DeathStar> <X> I think that includes all sex.
[02:07] <13Dias`> 6Dias sighs. 1"I need a drink now."
[02:08] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... are you saying that you want to drink because of me? 6* She looks offended.
[02:08] <13Dias`> <Dias> It's not that. It's just gonna be....difficult for me to have a girl that I can't have any form of sex with.
[02:09] <13@DeathStar> <X> Then find another girl, then. 6* She crosses her arms, looking annoyed.
15[02:10] * 13@Jennifer glances over at the silent girl akwardly.
[02:10] <13Dias`> <Dias> I'd rather it be you, tho.
[02:11] <13@DeathStar> <X> Well, I won't have sex with you before marriage. You should be grateful I've even deemed you worthy of being my boyfriend. 6* She points out, then she looks like she's a bit happy that Dias wants to be with her.
[02:11] <13Kit> <Reis> You're quite strange. You're not in the decree, either.
09[02:11] <13@Jennifer> "Decree? What decree?"
[02:12] <13Kit> 6Reis pauses, then moves to walk past her, opening the book again and flipping through it.
[02:12] <13Dias`> <Dias> I know, especially considering I'm damaged goods.
[02:13] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... If you want to get something to eat together, we can. 6* She moves over, then awkwardly takes Dias' hand with her own. "But if you die during this mission, I won't forgive you."
15[02:13] * 13@Jennifer stares at her a bit and walks over to watches.
[02:14] <13Dias`> 6Dias glances down at her hand than up at her. 1"You think I'd die?"
[02:14] <13@DeathStar> <X> You don't have a lot of drive.
[02:15] <13Dias`> <Dias> I have a lot of drive I might add. 6He moves out of her room with her.
[02:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sits in the hallway as Dias and X step out, looking depressed and unhappy, something unusual for her unless Chii's yelled at her
[02:17] <13Dias`> 6Dias stops to look at Lemon. 1"Why so blue?"
[02:17] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm soulless art. 6* She mumbles.
[02:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stares, then goes to lead Dias down the hallway, apparantly having no time for soul less art.
03[02:18] * Jackieness (Psy@h96.18.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
09[02:19] <13@Jennifer> "You don't know what Decree?"
[02:19] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks at Lemon as he lead away. 1"You're not soulless nor are you art, Lemon."
04[02:19] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Jennifer said I was art. ... and since I was created, I do not have a soul.
[02:20] <13Dias`> <Dias> I was created too. 6He notes.
[02:20] <13@DeathStar> <X> You were created from a sperm and egg splices, though.
[02:21] <13Dias`> <Dias> True, but I was still created. Lemon, you've got a soul and it's probably one of the brightest ones I've seen.
[02:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks up, perking up a bit. "You can see souls? You are very amazing."
[02:22] <13Dias`> 6Dias gives her a thumbs up. 1"Damn right I'm amazing."
[02:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles now, looking really happy. "Thank you. I'm glad to know I have a soul."
[02:23] <13Dias`> 6Dias smiles back at her and is than tugged around a corner.
[02:23] <13@DeathStar> <X> You can't see souls. 6* She notes to Dias once out of earshot.
09[02:24] <13@Jennifer> "Look... ummm... are you okay?"
[02:24] <13Dias`> 6Dias puts his arm around X's shoulder. 1"Maybe, but what matters if that she believes it and if she believes it, it means she does have one."
[02:24] <13@DeathStar> <X> That doesn't make sense!
[02:26] <13Dias`> 6Dias waves his free hand about. 1"Maybe not, but the fact is she believe it now and if anyone tells her otherwise, she can say that I saw it and won't be depressed right away."
[02:26] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... you're weird. But... kind I guess. 6* She mumbles
[02:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> What can I say? I've got a great big heart.
[02:27] <13@DeathStar> <X> She is a whore you know. 6* She points out, as if maybe Dias didn't know. "She gives our her virtue to anyone."
[02:28] <13Kit> <Reis> Decree is decree. One does not do as not decreed, therefore reality remains the tangible thing that one believes and feels it must be. Elsewise it is not decreed.
[02:28] <13@DeathStar> *out
09[02:28] <13@Jennifer> "Sounds like a lack of free will to me."
[02:29] <13Kit> <Reis> Are you saying I have no free will, lass?
09[02:29] <13@Jennifer> "Sayning I do, so that might be why I'm not in some decree."
[02:29] <13Dias`> <Dias> She was created for sex, X. It doesn't make her a whore, she's just doing what she was created to do.
[02:30] <13@DeathStar> <X> So you don't find it virtueless?
[02:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at him
[02:30] <13Kit> <Reis> You could just be a mistake. Or forgotten.
[02:30] <13Dias`> <Dias> And since that's all Chii and maybe Cheryl see her for, she doesn't know to go past that. 6He looks at her now. 1"I'm not gonna judge her for it."
[02:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* X frowns, thinking on that
[02:32] <13Dias`> <Dias> You're frowning.
[02:33] <13@DeathStar> <X> It just seems strange. I thought people dispise that kind of behavior from others, yet no one seems to care that's all she does.
09[02:33] <13@Jennifer> "Or soemthing outside of your rules." *she smiles a bit* "Best not to worry about it, I'll be gone and so will my friends soon enough."
[02:34] <13Kit> 6Reis pauses, then holds her free hand up to her fance. 1"Hee, hee, hee..."
[02:34] <13Dias`> <Dias> Some people do, yeah. But really, as far as I know, she's only slept with Chii and Cheryl.
15[02:34] * 13@Jennifer tilts her head. "Okay, what's the laugh for?"
[02:35] <13Kit> <Reis> To know so little must truly be a blessing.
09[02:35] <13@Jennifer> "No, but at least I don't assume to know everything."
[02:35] <13@DeathStar> <X> I think she offered to service me once when I did her a favor by retrieving an item she dropped and couldn't reach. I told her I would never sullen my virtue with her. She got confused and sad looking, but left.
[02:36] <13Kit> <Reis> Are you saying I believe I know everything?
09[02:37] <13@Jennifer> "Well, you're assuming I'm dumb, you assume to know the slightest bit about me, and you assume you're more educated then me. So... yeah."
[02:37] <13Dias`> <Dias> Ah. Yeah, that. It's the only way she knows to thank someone because Chii and Cheryl have really only taught her sex.
[02:37] <13Kit> <Reis> I know I'm more educated than you.
[02:37] <13@DeathStar> <X> I see. Why?
[02:38] <13Dias`> <Dias> Probably the only thing Cheryl wanted her for and the only thing Chii saw her as.
[02:38] <13@DeathStar> <X> Then it seems odd they brought her. Our enemies do not need to be serviced. She is a liability.
09[02:38] <13@Jennifer> "Really?"
[02:39] <13Dias`> <Dias> Just means we have to teach her to be more than what she was created for
[02:39] <13@DeathStar> <X> It would be safer to send her him.
[02:39] <13Kit> <Reis> Your hands.
09[02:39] <13@Jennifer> "What about them?"
[02:39] <13Kit> 6Reis slowly turns, looking much the cheshire cat. 1"Ah, well, then, wouldn't you like to know?"
09[02:40] <13@Jennifer> "...That's so third grade."
[02:40] <13Dias`> <Dias> Maybe, but we need her now so we just have to help her become better.
[02:40] <13Kit> <Reis> Third grade, hm?
[02:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She stops at the dining hall, peering about
[02:41] <13Dias`> 6Dias peers about himself
[02:41] <13Kit> 6Reis glances up, then blinks. 1"Oh, so that's what it is?"
[02:41] <13@DeathStar> <X> Do we serve ourselves?
04[02:42] <13Kit> <Reis> Hee, hee. I see." 6She peers back at Jennifer, her eyes alight again.
[02:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon returns to the garden, cheerful again. She kneels by the flowers.
15[02:42] * 13@Jennifer peers at her, frowning a bit.
09[02:42] <13@Jennifer> "You're telepathic?"
[02:42] <13Kit> <Reis> No, not at all. Hee, hee.
[02:42] <13Dias`> <Dias> Apparently. 6He shrugs and makes his way to the kitchen area
[02:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* X follows
[02:43] <13Kit> <Reis> That automata has returned. She's quite fitting, sitting as so.
15[02:43] * 13@Jennifer floods her mind with some of her scariest moments. Legion, Dark Ones, Scar...
[02:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon's outfit appears to have shifted to one of the spire maid's outfits she walked by.
04[02:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer slips on a flower.
04[02:44] <13Kit> 6Reis doesn't seem affected, if indeed she would have been at all, instead she just gives Jennifer a disdain look from those still standing and shakes her head, moving over toward Lemon.
[02:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon appears to be sitting on her knees, sitting almost Japanese style, probably picked up from Chii, rather than Cheryl, and is peering down at some flowers she hasn't seen before.
15[02:45] * 13@Jennifer has already started for Lemon. Her player doesn't stall for 10 minute intervals then make fun of the other player for not matching a sudden burst of speed.
[02:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* X follows Dias into the kitchen
[02:46] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks around. 1"What ya hungry for? I think I see some meat like food."
[02:46] <13@DeathStar> <X> That'll be acceptable.
[02:46] <13Kit> 6Reis drops the book lightly atop Lemon's head.
15[02:47] * 13@Jennifer takes a seat next to Lemon and gives Reis a look.
[02:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon jerks a bit at the book hitting her head, making a bit of a face as she peers up at Reis, making a face of confusion
[02:47] <13Dias`> 6Dias takes his arm from X's shoulder and he moves about to try and cook some meat
04[02:47] <13Kit> 6Reis takes no notice of Jennifer, leaning atop the book on her elbows. 1"Does serving make you that happy?"
[02:49] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Serving? Yes, I enjoy serving others.
[02:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* X watches Dias curiously now. "You can cook meat?"
[02:50] <13Kit> <Reis> Perhaps you should do an imperfect job.
[02:50] <13Dias`> <Dias> I've cooked before...Not anything like this before tho...
[02:52] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She looks worried. "Are you sure you can do it, then? I don't want to get sick."
15[02:52] * 13@Jennifer frowns a bit more.
[02:52] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Imperfect job?
[02:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks more confused.
[02:53] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well there's nobody else around here. 6He scratches the back of his head. 1"I could eat it first, otherwise I'm sure there's some place outside this castle that makes food."
[02:54] <13Kit> <Reis> Yes. Living things are imperfect beings, capable of an infinite number of imperfect creations. A perfect being of perfect craft could just possibly be one of those things, to make that very statement of infintie imperfection imperfect in itself, however, to be more like the living, one imitates the living. To truly live, one must learn to deviate from the imitation.
[02:54] <13@DeathStar> <X> Well...there is a town.
[02:55] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I-- 6* She looks flustered and more confused now. "Are you saying I should do things purposely wrong?"
[02:55] <13Kit> <Reis> However, to do that, one must create their own meaning and therefore futily imitate the living further by trying to truly live. If you understand, then try living with infinite imperfection. It may be a silly attempt, but it's more fun. Besides." 6She notes, peering downward at her book and Lemon. 1"You're wearing that-- the handmaidens may just get jealous if you outshine their work."
[02:55] <13Dias`> <Dias> Probably would be safer. 6He eyes the meat, poking it with his finger.
09[02:55] <13@Jennifer> "Just be yourself Lemon."
[02:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at herself, then jerks, panicked. "I didn't consider that." 6* She changes the outfit to match her old maid outfit.
[02:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the meat, then Dias, then the meat. "I could get Lilith to cook it."
[02:57] <13Kit> <Reis> Tried and true may always be straight and narrow.
[02:57] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Do you ever do imperfect things? 6* She eyes Reis.
[02:58] <13Kit> 6Reis stands up, replacing the book under her arm. 1"Then again, the old and decrepit are quite dull and ordinary-- trying something new is always a prestigious way to spend one's time."
[02:58] <13Dias`> <Dias> Think she can cook other reality meat?
[02:58] <13Kit> <Reis> Of course. Look at this atrocious garden. I'm sure I haven't the slightest talent in botany. Hee." 6She turns, heading back toward the spire.
[02:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers about the garden now, blinking. "I don't have talent in gardening in either."
[02:59] <13@DeathStar> *either
[02:59] <13@DeathStar> <X> MEat is...meat isn't it?
[03:00] <13Dias`> <Dias> If this is meat. 6He eyes it more
[03:00] <13Kit> 6The garden is well-maintained. Considering the grand scale of it, being easily the size of three modern football-fields, one could doubt it was even tilled or created by that single girl, let alone her and all her maids available. Everything is pruned and in strict order, rows seperated by season and colour.
09[03:00] <13@Jennifer> "You call this atrocious?"
[03:00] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She leans in to peer at the meat. "What else could it be?"
09[03:01] <13@Jennifer> "What do you call beautiful?" *she stares out*
[03:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks equally stunned at saying the garden is atrocious.
[03:02] <13Dias`> 6Dias leans over sniffing it. 1"Maybe it's like a potatoe
[03:02] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She looks horrorfied.
04[03:02] <13Kit> 6Reis disappears into the castle spire. Shortly thereafter, Crys and handful of the spire's maids come running out into the yard. They stare at Jennifer and Lemon, then trounce over. 1"H-have you seen a young lady with brown hair?"
09[03:03] <13@Jennifer> "Reis?"
[03:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon rises and moves over to Crys, reaching out to take her hands if allowed.
04[03:03] <13Kit> 6The handmaidens circle Jennifer. 1"You've seen Lady Reis!?"
09[03:03] <13@Jennifer> "Uhh yeah, she just went into the spire."
[03:03] <13Kit> <Crys> H-Huh..?" 6She blinks at Lemon, shrinking back slightly. 1"I-I said I'd stay away.. d-don't hurt me.."
[03:04] <13Dias`> 6Dias makes the same kind of face now
09[03:04] <13@Jennifer> "Crys... relax, it's Lemon, she doesn't want to hurt you."
[03:04] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I don't wish to hurt you. I wanted to tell you that I hope I can be of assistance in helping you.
[03:04] <13@DeathStar> <X> Lets...go to town. 6* She decides now.
[03:04] <13@DeathStar> <X> I don't want a meat pototo.
[03:04] <13Kit> <Attendants> Ahhh..!" 6They moan in a depressing manner. 1"After her! She has escaped again.." 6They hurry back toward the Spire.
09[03:05] <13@Jennifer> "...Ooookay. Beautiful place, but filled with really screwy people."
[03:05] <13Kit> <Crys> Lemon..? Oh! The look-alike. Hello." 6She smiles brightly.
[03:05] <13Dias`> <Dias> Yeah, that sounds like a plan
[03:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon returns the smile. "I know it can be difficult in meeting my masters' needs. I am sorry you had to suffer so much. We will save your village. We are heroes."
15[03:05] * 13@Jennifer grins at Crys. "Now there's a flip. You really can relax, Cheryl isn't gonna hurt you either."
[03:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses at that. "Cheryl is very powerful."
09[03:06] <13@Jennifer> "Powerful, but not cruel."
[03:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple, since the spire is so big, and moves through it.
[03:06] <13Kit> <Crys> Yeah... she's much stronger than me. She could probably snap my spine with one hand." 6She sighs.
[03:06] <13Dias`> 6Dias hops through after her
[03:06] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I will ask her not to do so for you.
[03:06] <13Kit> <Crys> So she's your master, too? Huh.
[03:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods. "I sometimes wear a collar for her. Sometimes Mistress Chii does."
09[03:07] <13@Jennifer> "So just steer clear of her, long as you don't bother her, she'll chill out after a while."
04[03:07] <13Kit> 6Crys looks to Jennifer. 1"You know much. Are you her slave, too?"
[03:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon closes her eyes, then a leather collar appears around her throat.
15[03:07] * 13@Jennifer raises a brow. "I'm no one's slave. Kinda the unit's raised brat I guess."
[03:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* X uses a few ripples to work her way down to the bottom, then steps out into town, peering about. She lets her tactical suit change to one of the noble outfits ,thinking maybe they'll get free food tha way.
[03:08] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> And I am art with a bright soul.
[03:08] <13Kit> <Crys> Unit... family unit?
[03:08] <13Kit> 6Crys blinks at the two, backing slightly, confused at both.
09[03:08] <13@Jennifer> "Well... I consider everyone in the group kinda like a strange extended family yeah."
[03:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks, still holding Crys hand. "Did I say something wrong?"
[03:08] <13Kit> <Crys> W-Well, no.
[03:08] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... you want me to let you go? 6* She does so, crestfallen a bit.
[03:09] <13Kit> 6Crys smiles nervously, then eyes her hands. 1"W-Well, I'm supposed to listen to you."
09[03:09] <13@Jennifer> "I think she's just overwhelmed Lemon, relax a little."
[03:09] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes X, a smirk appearing on his face, clearly proud of her. He lets his suit adjust to a noble one himself.
04[03:10] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Listen to me? 6* She doesn't seem to get it. She looks at Jennifer, then at Crys. "Oh. She wants to be alone." 6* She bows, then politely backs off, moving to the flowers and kneeling again
[03:10] <13Kit> <Crys> To be honest, the desert roses never asked very much of me until lately. But despite everything, I was given to you for all purposes." 6She rubs the back of her head. 1"Heheh, it's a little weird... In a way, I guess everyone's helping me now. But I'm supposed to listen to you guys.."
[03:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* X walks forward, peering about for a good place to eat.
15[03:11] * 13@Jennifer sighs and scratches her head. "Well... don't worry so much Crys, just do what Cheryl says when things get tough and you'll be fine."
[03:11] <13Kit> <Crys> Tough? I have to listen to her anyway. I'm a slave. Heheh!
[03:11] <13Dias`> 6Dias walks along side X, his eyes looking around at the town itself.
15[03:11] * 13@Jennifer sighs a bit. "You think we'd treat you like one?"
[03:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers down at the flowers, apparantly being very quiet, probably thinking this will make Crys feel better.
[03:11] <13Kit> <Crys> ...Well, and you. And Lemon. And Chii. And ...uh, the purple-haired one, and the silver-haired one, and ...
[03:12] <13@DeathStar> <X> Do they have resturants?
[03:12] <13Kit> 6Crys stares, a bit bewildered, a finger to lip. 1"Huh. I went from a throne ornament to kind of a group pet."
09[03:13] <13@Jennifer> "You're... jeez Crys. You're a person, not a thing."
[03:13] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm a toy. 6* She states, unable to remain quiet
[03:13] <13Kit> <Crys> Well, yeah! I'm both. A person-thing. Heh!
15[03:13] * 13@Jennifer looks over at Lemon, then at Crys. "You're both people."
[03:13] <13Dias`> <Dias> They'd have to have resturants. Where else would they eat?
[03:13] <13Kit> 6Crys blinks, then scampers over, crouching by Lemon. 1"A toy? Huh. What do you mean?"
04[03:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon just stares at Jennifer oddly.
[03:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Crys. "I'm made to make others happy. I know all sorts of techniques, both gentle and rough, to make a person really happy."
[03:14] <13@DeathStar> <X> That's true. 6* She peers until she sees a spot where there smells to be food, then moves for it.
15[03:14] * 13@Jennifer goes deep red.
[03:14] <13Kit> <Crys> Wow. That sounds pretty useful. I don't really know anything, but I'm supposed to make people happy, too, I guess. I'm kind of new to this, but we sound similar!
09[03:15] <13@Jennifer> "Oh god..." *she rubs her face*
[03:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles, beaming, and nodding. "I think so, too. If you'd like, I'd be glad to show you some things. I like you, so I'd be glad to service you."
15[03:15] * 13@Jennifer reaches into her things in a sudden desperate need for aspirin.
04[03:16] <13Kit> <Crys> Eh... Well, technically I'm yours, too. But Jennifer seems to be having a problem. Maybe we can make her feel better.
04[03:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Jennifer. "Would you like to enjoy yourself now?"
15[03:16] * 13@Jennifer looks up slowly like a deer caught in headlights. "I-I-I..."
04[03:16] <13Kit> 6Crys grins at Lemon, then looks to Jennifer, wiggling her fingers. 1"Hey, you want a massage? I'm pretty good at that, Carnation said so."
04[03:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon rises to her feet and moves toward Jennifer, still smiling
09[03:17] <13@Jennifer> "B-But... that is... I... ummm..." *she looks frozen in shyness*
[03:17] <13Kit> 6Crys hops up, following Lemon
[03:17] <13Dias`> 6Dias sniffs several times, seeing if he can pick up the scent of food
04[03:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves behind Jennifer and reaches out to touch her shoulders, beginning to massage them. "We should both service her, Crys. I know Mistress Chii likes it when myself and Cheryl do so with her."
[03:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* X moves inside a building where food is being served, and would sit down at a table
04[03:18] -Global- roc.esper.net is back... it took just a bit longer than we expected. :)
15[03:19] * 13@Jennifer goes deep red, squirming a bit, she blinks and slackens when Lemon hits a sweet spot. "I-I.... oh gosh..."
[03:19] <13Dias`> 6Dias takes a seat beside her and he glances around, taking in the area
[03:19] <13Kit> <Crys> Have her sit down. I'll work her legs-- Carnation's always got knots from her training and sparring.
04[03:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods once, and shifts her hands to push Jennifer down into a sitting position, surprisingly strong.
15[03:20] * 13@Jennifer eeps and flails a little, blushing horribly. "L-Lemon... Crys... i-it isn't... p-proper..."
[03:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* X orders some food off the menu - surprisingly, it's not written in their language, yet they can talk with everyone just fine
[03:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* X orders it by pointing
[03:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon continues to massage the back of her neck; she seems to be an expert, probably programmed by Cheryl after the data of the world's best
[03:21] <13@DeathStar> <X> This is weird. I can't read. 6* She tells Dias.
04[03:21] -Global- Okay, maybe I spoke a little too soon. Oh well. In the interim, please enjoy paradox and dream...
04[03:22] <13Kit> 6Crys kneels, at least being dressed now in something besides her collar, a tassled, hanging garment sparsely covering her chest and a shimmering, flowing half-skirt. She folds her fingers at the knuckles of one hand and presses into Jennifer's thighs and calves, rubbing circles with her palms afterward to smooth them over. 1"What's not proper?"
[03:22] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks down at him self, than turns it upside down. Than to the side. Then squints
[03:22] <13Kit> <Crys> Th-This is our job." 6She blinks.
15[03:22] * 13@Jennifer closes her eyes, feeling her resolve start to crumble. "B-But... I... that is... we're not... well..."
[03:23] <13Dias`> <Dias> I'll just have what she's having. 6He sets the menu down
04[03:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon works her way down Jennifer's back slowly, thorough with her technique. "I can do more to you if this is not enough."
[03:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* X ponders. "I think we should tell the General about this."
09[03:23] <13@Jennifer> "I-It's enough... m-more then... holy crap..."
[03:24] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I have been told by Mistress Chii that my tongue is more amazing than my fingers.
[03:24] <13Dias`> <Dias> It is kinda interesting now that you mentioni t
04[03:25] <13Kit> 6Crys blinks at Lemon. 1"Your tongue..?" 6She stares, then shrugs. She massages all of the leg and even rubs Jennifer's feet-- though that makes sense since she mentioned Carnation who seemed to fight unarmed. So to speak.
[03:25] <13@DeathStar> <X> Do you think there's realities where we won't be able to understand others?
[03:25] <13Dias`> <Dias> I guess I assumed the other realities just spoke like us.
[03:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods, smiling. "I will show you later if you like."
[03:25] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hm. We should tell her, then. It could be trouble.
15[03:26] * 13@Jennifer squirms gently, starting to relax as she whimpers just a little bit nervously. "G-Gomen..."
04[03:26] <13Kit> <Crys> I will keep you warm tonight, if you like." 6She notes to Jennifer. 1"Carnation kept me around for that, too. She'd hold onto me. It was nice." 6She beams.
[03:26] <13Kit> <Crys> Told me not to tell Lady Hawthorne, though." 6She peers off, frowning, perhaps confused again.
09[03:27] <13@Jennifer> "Y-You should... do what you like... I don't... order people around..." *she settles down despite this, overpowered*
[03:27] <13Kit> <Crys> Ah, well it was nice, so I guess I will, if you don't have a preference!
[03:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> We'll let her know when we get back.
04[03:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon beams at Jennifer's, then leans around to kiss her on the lips as she massages her back.
[03:28] <13Kit> 6Crys hops up to her feet in one bound, then sprints for the spire. 1"I'm gonna go find that Lady Bookworm, though. She was in the library before, maybe she's back. She might be able to tell me about Nezereb and Nexus-- and the place I'm from. Hee!"
09[03:28] <13@Jennifer> "I-If it makes you..." *she blushes horribly a moment and looks at Lemon softly* "...h-happy I guess..."
[03:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stops and waves once after Crys. Apparantly the kiss didn't mean that much to her. "Goodbye, Crys."
[03:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the food that's served, some soup, and takes her spoon, taking some of it
[03:28] <13Kit> 6Crys waves over a shoulder, giggling as she disappears.
15[03:29] * 13@Jennifer is still a bit frozen, since such an exchange means a lot to her, she looks at Lemon nervously, starting to sit up. "I-I..."
[03:30] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes the soup himself and he forgoes to spoon and drinks fromt he bowl
04[03:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks, then goes back to massaging JEnnifer. "I'm not. Please relax. I will make you feel very happy. I promise."
09[03:30] <13@Jennifer> "L-Lemon... I don't... don't wanna have sex... or anything... like that..." *she continues blushing*
[03:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses, her hands stopping. She pauses, peering down, her hands in her lap.
[03:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes him. "You have no manners."
[03:32] <13Dias`> 6Dias sets the bowl down. 1"So?"
15[03:32] * 13@Jennifer sits up a bit, scooching away a bit. "I-It's not that I don't like you... I just... I can't. It's hard for me to explain."
[03:33] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I understand. You do not want me to touch you. 6* She peers back at the flowers now, her expression sullen
[03:34] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hmph. Forget it.
[03:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* X goes back to eating.
09[03:34] <13@Jennifer> "I-It's just..." *she looks down* "Lemon, I don't mind it if you want to hug or touch, but... well, sexual stuff..."
[03:34] <13Dias`> 6Dias makes a face and he grabs the spoon and starts using that instead
[03:34] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I understand. 6* She repeats. "I have added you to the list." 6* She reaches out to touch the flowers, feeling them with a pinky
09[03:35] <13@Jennifer> "List?"
[03:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon just nods one time.
[03:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at him. She nods once, satisfied
15[03:36] * 13@Jennifer frowns, she leans over and gives Lemon a small hug. "It's not like I don't like you Lemon. The opposite in fact. But... when I was younger, Scar raped me, and he did it while copying Cheryl... so... I can't help but... well... associate."
15[03:37] * 13@Jennifer started off calm but by the end of that statement, her voice was shakey.
[03:37] <13Dias`> 6Dias finishes his soup. 1"Well that was too bad.
[03:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon just looks confused, but she nods one time. "I will not touch you again. I don't wish to upset you." 6* She pauses, patting her arm one time, but it's awkward now on Lemon's part, so she goes back facing the flowers.
[03:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* X finishes as well. "It reminded me of chicken."
03[03:38] * Kogitsune (kogitsune@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw
[03:38] <13Dias`> <Dias> I wonder what they have for booze here.
09[03:38] <13@Jennifer> "You can touch all you like... just... no sex okay?"
04[03:39] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... 6* She just smiles. Something could probably tell Jennifer she doesn't plan to touch her that much anymore, and if she does, she'll probably be over worrying. "I am sorry for upsetting you." 6* She repeats
[03:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> You could ask them. But if you get drunk and we get attacked, then you will be easily destroyed.
[03:40] <13Dias`> <Dias> Pffft. I fight much better when I'm drunk.
09[03:40] <13@Jennifer> "M-Me too..." *she can't help but show a look of being ashamed, she gets up and bows a little awkwardly*
[03:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon bows back, then peers at the flowers; she reaches out to touch them again
[03:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes him. "Then perhaps you should be drunk all the time so you don't lose so much."
09[03:42] <13@Jennifer> "W-We're friends right?"
[03:42] <13Dias`> 6Dias jaw drops now. 1"So...much?"
04[03:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Jennifer. "If you consider me a friend, I would very much like that. I will put you under the list of friends who do not like to be serviced."
[03:43] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes. It is becoming a habit for you
09[03:44] <13@Jennifer> "I do. You're my friend Lemon... at least, to me..." *she rubs her arm a bit, apparently trying to make it not be an order*
[03:44] <13Dias`> 6Dias frowns at that.
[03:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks back at the flower. "I understand. Many people do not like to be close to me in that manner. I did not understand it was because it upset so many of them with bad memories until now." 6*
[03:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon continues to touch the flowers, never picking them.
09[03:46] <13@Jennifer> "I-I don't think it is... for me it is, but everyone has different reasons, though like I said... it's not because of you."
[03:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias, then looks to the side. "We will just fight together. Our enemies will fall before us. After all - now that we are dating, I'm not going to let you die." 6* She notes embarrassedly.
[03:47] <13Dias`> <Dias> Yeah? 6He looks over at her now. 1"Well that'll be nice to have you keeping me alive. Since I do enjoy being alive."
[03:47] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> If it wasn't because of me, you would not mind being close to me. I remind you of something you do not like, so the thought of me serving you makes you unhappy. 6* She notes calmly, and rises to her feet. "So it is because of me." 6* She nods once, then lets out a sigh. "I will see if my Mistresses need food now."
[03:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon turns and moves off.
[03:48] <13@DeathStar> <X> Well. I like you alive, too. 6* She notes.
[03:49] <13Dias`> <Dias> As soon as I can figure out the in's and out's of my powers, we'll both be unstoppable.
09[03:49] <13@Jennifer> "H-Hey wait!" *she rushes after her*
[03:49] <13@DeathStar> <X> As long as you don't kill yourself with them.
04[03:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses as ordered, peering at Jennifer.
09[03:50] <13@Jennifer> "Don't think like that... it's silly. It's not because of you, if anything it's because of me. I think like that, it's my memories, you didn't do anything to me to be sorry about... okay?"
[03:50] <13Dias`> <Dias> They're like playing russian roullette. I still haven't figured out a safe way to know if I can use them safely after using them to the point of nose bleeds
[03:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon just stares at her, but nods once; either because she agrees, or she's been programmed to anticipate what the other person wants to hear.
09[03:51] <13@Jennifer> "I'll... see you around later... okay?"
[03:51] <13@DeathStar> <X> It's clear the more outlandish the thing you will, the more of a toll it takes. You should just use minimal things.
[03:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods again. "Yes. We will be on the mission to the village tomorrow."
[03:52] <13Dias`> <Dias> Yeah. I think as long as effects my body only it takes a smaller toll and that it only really wears me down if it's outside my body
[03:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> I think that's probably right.
[03:53] <13Dias`> <Dias> And I atleast know where the starting point to the nose bleeds is.
[03:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> Do you?
15[03:54] * 13@Jennifer rubs the back of her head, rocking on her heels. "Y-Yeah... silly me."
[03:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles at her, keeping her hands clasped together in front of her. "See you tomorrow." 6* She notes with her smile, then turns and moves onward
[03:55] <13Dias`> <Dias> Yeah, I get a small headache. After that it's all bloody noses and excrutiating pain
[03:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* X considers this. "Hm."
[03:56] <13Dias`> 6Dias just asks for some booze.
[03:57] <13@DeathStar> -END-

[18:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Stardate: Day 4. After Part 1.
04[18:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* As X and Dias return, they would find themselves running across Jennifer, who has yet to talk to Cheryl.
15[18:19] * 13@Jennifer is in a state of wanderign, just exploring the palace, she stops and waves to X and Dias when she spots them.
[18:19] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well atleast the food was good. The liqour was...eh. 6He eyes his hand.
04[18:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Jennifer waving at them, and shifts Dias between herself and Jennifer, so she takes the brunt of the girl's upcoming words
09[18:20] <13@Jennifer> "Ummm... heya."
[18:20] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yo. 6He waves.
09[18:20] <13@Jennifer> "So what've yuo two been up to?" *she smiles*
[18:21] <13@DeathStar> <X> Not what you're thinking. 6* She notes, as if agitated by the smile.
[18:21] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> We tried some of the local cuisine and I tried some of the booze.
03[18:22] * Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
03[18:22] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
[18:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods once.
09[18:24] <13@Jennifer> "...What was I thinking?" *she tilts her head*
04[18:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* X narrows her eyes Jennifer, not answering
[18:25] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know. What do you think?
09[18:26] <13@Jennifer> "I thought you two were taking in the sights...?" *she shrugs* "I'll have to try some food..."
[18:27] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well we looked at stuff as we tried to find some food.
09[18:27] <13@Jennifer> "So it was what I was thinking then." *she giggles a bit* "Have a good time?"
[18:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* X narrows her eyes more.
[18:28] <13@DeathStar> <X> Why are you interrogating us?
09[18:28] <13@Jennifer> "J-Just curious, making conversation." *she blinks a bit, fidgeting a little*
[18:29] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well she's not really interrogating us...The real question is why are you out here by yourself?
09[18:30] <13@Jennifer> "Just exploring, there's a whole bunch of neat things to see and do while we're here, so I'm enjoying myself." *she beams a bit*
[18:31] <13@DeathStar> <X> And if you are captured and murdered while you are alone?
15[18:32] * 13@Jennifer blinks a bit, going wide eyed. "You think that could happen here? I-I didn't think of that..."
[18:32] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias points at X. 1"She got it. And yeah."
09[18:32] <13@Jennifer> "I guess I should bring a friend from now on huh?"
[18:32] <13Kit> <Reis> How rude.
15[18:33] * 13@Jennifer blinks and very, very slowly turns to look at Reis.
[18:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers for the source of the voice.
[18:33] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias raises an eyebrow, glancing around
[18:33] <13Kit> 6Reis leans her head out from behind the banister. 1"As if kidnapping and murder happens within the Sol Palace!"
[18:33] <13@DeathStar> <X> Murder happens.
09[18:33] <13@Jennifer> "H-Hiya Reis."
[18:33] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well technically it did.
09[18:33] <13@Jennifer> "A small battallion of maids were looking for you."
[18:34] <13Kit> <Reis> Yes. I know.
[18:34] <13Kit> 6Reis moves out, still clutching that book under her arm. 1"They still are, I would think."
09[18:35] <13@Jennifer> "I see. Why are they so... dunno stressed about it?"
[18:36] <13Kit> <Reis> Wouldn't you be stressed if you were supposed to supervise something you couldn't often see?
09[18:36] <13@Jennifer> "Hah... so you're hiding from the nannies?"
[18:37] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the newcomer passively.
[18:37] <13Kit> <Reis> Hrmph. I do not hide. I go where I please.
04[18:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias, then at Jennifer, then at Dias. "If they kill her, I think we should tell it was her own fault."
[18:38] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ya really think so? 6He looks at X now.
15[18:38] * 13@Jennifer looks over at X. "Thank you for the kind sentiments. I'm right here you know."
[18:38] <13Kit> <Reis> I see. Treachery in the ranks.
09[18:39] <13@Jennifer> "Yes Reis, we even have plotting and schemeing going on too."
15[18:39] * 13@Jennifer crosses her arms, rolling her eyes a bit.
[18:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* X shrugs. "I try to avoid telling strangers they are hiding."
04[18:40] <13Kit> 6Reis gestures to Jennifer. 1"Strange, this one sounds younger than you, yet seems wiser."
[18:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Man, Jen's even catching flak from a stranger.
[18:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X blinks at Reis' comment.
15[18:40] * 13@Jennifer sighs and reaches into her pouch, looking for aspirin again.
[18:41] <13Kit> <Reis> I am not strange. You are in my hall.
09[18:41] <13@Jennifer> "Excuse me for not assuming my allies are trying to stab me in the back."
[18:41] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks around. 1"...I don't see your name anywhere.
[18:42] <13Kit> <Reis> You know the name of the kingdom, do you not?
[18:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* X moves away from Dias, lest Reis, if she's serious, has him beaten
09[18:42] <13@Jennifer> "She's a Sol."
09[18:42] <13@Jennifer> "I think she's a Princess... if that's the right title?" *she looks questioningly at Reis*
[18:43] <13Kit> <Reis> I prefer 'heiress.' I would hate for you to get the wrong impression-- as if I were some trophy token that just usurped the throne by birthright in a lack of common sense and purpose.
[18:43] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nope.
09[18:43] <13@Jennifer> "Oh no, just don't know the titles."
04[18:46] <13Kit> <Reis> ...Huh. So there are amongst yourselves that are more ignorant than this one." 6She stares Dias, then eyes Jennifer.
[18:46] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias wiggles his finger in his ears. 1"I leave the brains to her. 6He thumbs towards X.
[18:46] <13Kit> <Reis> Yet even he contains that much prowess.
[18:47] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at X. 1"What's prowess?"
15[18:47] * 13@Jennifer shakes her head.
[18:47] <13@DeathStar> <X> It's prowess.
[18:48] <13Kit> <Reis> Tell me. Is this lavender-hued beauty your comandant?
15[18:48] * 13@Jennifer rubs her face and finds the aspirin, popping on.
[18:48] <13@DeathStar> <X> No.
09[18:48] <13@Jennifer> *one
[18:48] <13Kit> <Reis> ... ..." 6She stares silently. 1"... So you leave the brains to the one not in charge."
[18:49] <13Kit> 6Reis picks up her book and opens it, thumbing through the pages.
[18:49] <13@DeathStar> <X> I leave the brains to our General.
[18:49] <13Kit> 6Reis gestures to Dias without looking up. 1"But he does not."
09[18:49] <13@Jennifer> "Cheryl's the one in charge, and she's a genius."
[18:50] <13Kit> 6Reis snaps the tome shut and replaces it under her arm. 1"Genius, is she?"
[18:50] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I let my fists do the thinking.
09[18:50] <13@Jennifer> "Yeah."
[18:50] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cheryl's got some smarts, yeah.
[18:50] <13Kit> 6Reis eyes Dias. 1"Yes. I'm sure you do."
[18:51] <13Kit> <Reis> I must meet this General. Please take me to her.
[18:51] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I doubt she'll want to talk to you.
15[18:51] * 13@Jennifer stares at Reis now, her general kind face and warm attitude like ice the longer this girl talks. "Not sure where she is at the moment. And yeah, probably busy."
[18:51] <13Kit> <Reis> I did not ask that.
[18:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes an imaginary watch on the back of his wrist. 1"Sorry. Not my job."
15[18:52] * 13@Jennifer stretches. "I think I'll go look for that food now."
[18:52] <13@DeathStar> <X> I think I shall rest.
[18:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* X moves off.
[18:52] <13Kit> <Reis> For peopel that leave the thinking to your general, you sure are subordinate when one requests seeing that General.
[18:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> I am the ultimate weapon. I do not listen to orders.
[18:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> Except from the General.
15[18:53] * 13@Jennifer eyes the girl and shakes her head a little, starting to walk off.
[18:53] <13Kit> <Reis> In the event one had important information for them to assess, I am sure they would be quite furious as the lack of apt given on part of her confidantes.
[18:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> Then tell me this information, and I will decide if it's worthy of her attention
[18:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well since this is your castle...You can bring yourself to her. 6He shifts his hands behind her back
[18:54] <13Kit> <Reis> It also does little to improve the standings of politics between two rival factions when one cannot even trust tact to be applied to a situation in which your standing is both unwelcome and unfavorable.
15[18:54] * 13@Jennifer stops, she clenches her hands into fists, seeming to consider a moment.
[18:55] <13Kit> 6Reis shrugs with her free hand. 1"I would think asking to see the general is very little to ask when your said troupe is asking for a centuries-old relic of our royal family."
[18:55] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like I said, if it's that important you can bring yourself to her.
[18:55] <13Kit> <Reis> My brother may be the acting monarch due to the events that turn, and I have no desire to overturn a judgment he might have made in good faith, but it does not change the fact that the people of the kingdom may see things differently.
[18:56] <13@DeathStar> <X> She wants us to do it so that she can feel pampered. However, judging by how the General felt after we were betrayed, I don't want to bother her and get her angrier.
[18:57] <13Kit> <Reis> Ah, quite wrong.
[18:57] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias thumbs at X again. 1"See? I let her do the thinking."
15[18:58] * 13@Jennifer just shakes her head. She crosses her arms and turns back to look at the three.
04[18:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* X takes Dias' hand and moves off, leaving Jennifer with Reis.
[18:58] <13Kit> 6Reis' eyes light up, widening in an eery way as she grins. 1"It's a fair assumption given my status and unrelented words, but if I truly wished to be pampered I would let the maids have their way. The reality of things might be that I well know your general to be in the galley at this present time, with the company of the Temerity Knights' sole survivor."
[18:58] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias is tugged away gleefully
[18:59] <13Kit> <Reis> It's comforting to know that while you lack patience and manners, you at least still respect your general's feelings for something other than a notion to order. Personal attachments are for more worthy of mention.
03[19:00] * Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Eout
[19:00] <13Kit> 6Reis runs her free hand's finger along her lips, peering after the two, swaying some. 1"Hmm. Such a lovely violet, does she dye it?"
[19:00] <13Kit> 6Reis tilts her head, then turns, walking off quietly with her book.
15[19:01] * 13@Jennifer shakes her head and goes the other way, when out of earshot, she mutters something.
[19:02] <13@DeathStar> -END-

[19:22] <13Kit> Stardate: Day 4 elsewhere, midnight.
[19:22] <13Kit> Location: Sol Spire
[19:23] <13Kit> 6There's a light knock to either of the chambers Kane and Dias occupy, a small batallion of maids outside Dias, scutinizingly peering at the door from their end. Outside Kane's, a girl with a book continues to beat on it insistently with the book's spine.
[19:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane's door would slowly open and Kane would peer at the girl, he doesn't look like he's been a sleep, but his eyes are slightly red.
[19:24] <13Kit> <Reis> I'm Reis." 6She says simply, peering up at Kane. She looks no older than fourteen judging from looks.
[19:25] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...I am Christopher Kane. 6He peers at her oddly, wondering why she's there. 1Kane. 6He says, to enforce the name he goes by.
[19:26] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias' door slowly opens up and the silver haired stallion stands there, looking slightly drunk and tired. He yawns as he stands there
[19:26] <13Kit> <Reis> Christopher. Haa. So it's true.
[19:26] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...I...don't understand. 6He seems completely confused.
[19:27] <13Kit> 6The maids make a face at Dias, backing up in a semi-sircle as he appears. 1"Dias? Sire, your presence is requested."
[19:28] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes them all now. 1"Sire, wait. Huh?" 6He looks confused now
[19:28] <13Kit> <Reis> 'One annointed with the task of upholding a lost birthplace's legacy comes under the calling of bearing the hope of the people.'
[19:28] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> If you're referring to me. I think you might be mistaken.
[19:29] <13Kit> 6One of the maids steps up, making another face, but offers a hand to Dias. 1"This way, please. The training regimen beckons."
[19:29] <13Kit> <Reis> I wouldn't think much of it, it's just written, is all. However, are you aware of what your name means in one of the old tongues?
[19:30] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> One second. 6He walks back into his room and a moment later, comes back with a bottle of booze. 1"Lead the way."
[19:30] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. Only from my world. I know nothing more of your world than what I've seen.
[19:30] <13Kit> 6The maids let out a resonating sigh at that, then form a phalanx around Dias, ushering him toward the staircase. They eye him, as if wondering whether he'll just roll down it.
[19:32] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves down the stairs, bouncing down several steps on the heel of one of his feet. He doesn't seem to notice.
[19:32] <13Kit> <Reis> Christ was the hope of all people, at least in a manuscript some believe to be from ancient times before the cataclysm. Christopher, the one who bears Christ, and one from another world, no less. I would ask what became of your world that you should be here now, but I believe I'm best not knowing given the tome's accuracy.
[19:33] <13Kit> 6Reis waves a hand dismissingly. 1"Enough of that. Let's put it aside for now. So you're an inventor, right?"
[19:33] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I will assure you that I have nothing to do with Christ.
[19:33] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> And yes. At least I attempt to be.
[19:36] <13Kit> <Reis> I am as well. I think I would like to have you look at something.
[19:36] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow, glancing over his shoulder slightly, then nods. 1Very well.
[19:37] <13Kit> 6Down six of the banister's flights, the maids lead Dias to a wing corridor of the palace, wide and open with a polished, but frequently marred floor. Weapons adorn the walls.
[19:37] <13Kit> <Reis> Come with me, please." 6She nods, then turns, walking off immediately.
[19:37] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the weapons impassively and takes a drink from the bottle.
[19:37] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane stills seems confused, but steps out and closes his door, moving to walk after her.
[19:38] <13Kit> 6The maids, satisfied their task is complete, leave hurriedly, leaving Dias there in the dark.
[19:39] <13Kit> 6Reis heads for the stairs, opening her book and thumbing through it. 1"Tell me, besides that which you create, have you ever given thought to your purpose in life?"
[19:39] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns as the woman leave the shifts a finger into his ear, wiggling it. 1"Ok...This is where I get confused.
[19:40] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> No. 6He says simply as he moves along behind her.
[19:41] <13Kit> <Reis> Perfect. It's more fun that way." 6She says nothing else, descending all the stairs to the same level, eventually moving up behind, then around Dias into the hall.
[19:41] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes her oddly, then glances to Dias when they move around him, also giving him a confused look.
[19:42] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias holds out the bottle to Kane as he walks by
[19:42] <13Kit> <Reis> Ayame?
[19:42] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane holds up his hands. 1No thanks.
[19:42] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Good luck. 6He makes provocotive thrusts
14[19:42] * Ariel (Enjeryuu@24.89.239.1) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[19:42] <13Kit> 6Across the hall, a light flickers on, lit by a flame after a clicking noise, dimly lighting the room, and Ayame shuffles to her feet, her spear in her arm, the gourd in her other. 1"Yes."
[19:43] <13Kit> <Ayame> What did you need, heiress?
[19:43] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane's cheeks hit a tint of red and he glances off to the side. 1I-it's not like that.
[19:43] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> It could be. 6He nudges Kane
[19:43] <13Kit> <Reis> A target/
03[19:44] * Jackieness (Psy@h96.18.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
03[19:44] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
[19:44] <13Kit> <Ayame> A target?" 6She eyes the bookworm princess with an eyebrow raised. 1"What's that supposed to m--"
[19:44] <13Kit> <Reis> Dias, was it? You like challenges, I hear. Would you have a match with Ayame?
[19:46] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias scratches the back of his head as he looks at Ayame. Clearly remembering how dangerous she is compared their team.
[19:46] <13Kit> 6Ayame peers at Dias, then back to Dias. 1"I don't think that's a good idea. I don't even see the will to fight in him."
[19:46] <13Kit> NRP: 2nd Dias = Reis. Bah
[19:47] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ah crap. She's goading me. 6He sighs. Handing the bottle over to Kane
[19:47] <13Kit> <Reis> Hm, then what use are you? I swore that was what you were best at-- provoking people.
[19:47] <13Kit> <Ayame> Now, now, heiress, that's just plain rude." 6She grumbles, guzzling from her goard.
[19:47] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at it and makes a face, setting it down off to the side.
[19:48] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias God I'm going to regret this in the morning. 6He stretches his back out.
[19:48] <13Kit> 6Reis looks between the two, Ayame peering at Dias and blinking.
[19:48] <13Kit> <Reis> So you will do it?
[19:49] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I'm already drunk, so I have an excuse in the morning.
[19:49] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane stands there, still not sure his purpose in this.
[19:49] <13Kit> 6Reis makes a face at the comment of being drunk, then nods. 1"Excellent." 6She holds up a hand, a glyph appearing along the floor in the training hall beneath everyone's feet, glowering a faint blue.
[19:50] <13Kit> <Ayame> Princess, what are you up to?
[19:51] <13Kit> <Reis> Nothing untoward, I assure you. Now stop calling me that.
[19:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances around, who knows if he see's the faint blue.
[19:52] <13Kit> 6Reis turns, tossing a small object to Kane. 1"Hold onto that."
[19:53] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks to catch it, probably stumbling with it slightly.
[19:53] <13Kit> 6It's a small, perfectly symmetrical piece of quartz at first glance. Reis smiles. 1"Tell me if it reacts."
[19:53] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ....alright.
[19:53] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks down at his feet now. 1"Why do I see lines?"
[19:54] <13Kit> <Reis> Never mind that, Dias. Just an exhibition, if you would, but with one minor condition.
[19:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Underwear match?
[19:54] <13Kit> <Reis> I've set a limit on this field. The first person unable to move, loses.
[19:55] <13Kit> <Ayame> Oh, I see. An inhibiting rune. The more we exert ourselves, the tougher it'll be." 6She sets her spear down and throws down her gauntlets. 1"Alright, then. Bring it on."
[19:56] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head and then moves to step out.
[19:57] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have no idea what that means and shrugs, holding his arms up in his fighting stance.
[19:57] <13Kit> 6Dias would feel heavy, but nothing too terrible. Ayame moves across from him and smiles. 1"Go easy on me."
[19:58] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...he's announcing his actions now. Great.
[19:58] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances around. Looking around. 1"What the hell?"
[19:58] <13Kit> 6For once, Reis doesn't comment or seem to mind, she eyes the two, her arms crossed over her book.
[19:59] <13Kit> <Reis> Go.
[19:59] <13Kit> 6Ayame slides forward and twists, throwing a kick for Dias, front and center.
03[19:59] * Jackieness is now known as Myria
03[19:59] * Seraphna is now known as Sammael
[19:59] <13Kit> <Reis> Remember, it's not who beats the other so much as who's standing last. Dias, if you win, I'll have a statue erected of you in the garden.
[20:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles back as he's hit, clearly not used to the added weight. 1"Oi, this'll take some time getting used to.
[20:02] <13Kit> 6As Dias falters back, each movement seems to increase the weight he feels, as if standing perfectly still is the only way to stop the load from growing. Ayame, on the other hand, plants her feet and leaps, sending her other foot out for Dias' chest.
03[20:38] * Ariel (Enjeryuu@blk-89-239-1.eastlink.ca) has joined #taw
03[20:38] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
03[22:08] * X1 (scoutx1@66.227.210.222) has joined #taw
[23:07] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the foot incoming and he shifts his left foot back and swings both forearms up to block the incoming foot
03[23:07] * Myria is now known as Jackieness
[23:09] <13Kit> 6Dias' arms block it-- no crushing blow or metal-denting impact like one might expect, just a typical match. Ayame makes a face, then wobbles a bit. She pulls her foot back and pants a bit. 1"D-Damn, acts fast.."
[23:10] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers quietly at the quartz.
[23:10] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias lowers his arms his left foot shifting infront of him now.
[23:12] <13Kit> 6Ayame eyes Dias, bringing her hands up-- She doesn't have any stance suggesting she was really taught to fight unarmed.
[23:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the gap difference then hops forward, swinging low for a sweep kick.
03[23:15] * Jackieness (Psy@h96.18.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
[23:15] <13Kit> 6The crystal makes no change apparent, Ayame blinks at Dias, then leaps to dodge the sweep, her landing creating a loud sound-- as if she weighed considerably more.
[23:17] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias plants his hand and twists, swinging around and shoving off towards Ayame again, scissor kicking low for her feet
[23:22] <13Kit> 6Ayame goes to leap over his legs again, narrowly dodging the first leg, but not able to clear the second, rolling and straining to stand back up-- after all the movement, Dias would find it difficult to get to his feet as well
[23:23] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias strains as he stands up. 1"Oi, this is getting heavy."
[23:23] <13Kit> 6Ayame wastes no time and leans forward to Dias, punching at him as she rises
[23:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers from them to the quartz object.
[23:24] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias tenses up, shifting his left foot back as the punch comes in. Letting the punch hit.
[23:24] <13Kit> 6Reis frowns at the match, as if getting impatient.
[23:24] <13Kit> 6The punch feels more like a tap-- but the weight increases from Ayame striking him stumbles, nearly falling into him. She wobbles as she resists falling over. 1"Grr.."
[23:26] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers down at her, maybe trying to look down her shirt. 1"That's it?"
[23:27] <13Kit> 6Ayame glares at him and pushes herself forward-- actually attempting to headbutt him between the legs.
[23:28] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias howls in pain as he's hit in the crotch and he keels over.
[23:28] <13Kit> 6Ayame falls forward, panting, but slams her palm into the floor, straining to rise herself again.
[23:28] <13Kit> <Reis> Dias. Get up.
[23:29] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Balls hurt. 6He groans
[23:29] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> That was a cheap shot. 6He notes.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores blissfuly in her bedroom
[23:31] <13Kit> <Ayame> Tch, all's fair in war..
[23:31] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> True...6Dias throws a fist for Ayame's gut as she rises up.
[23:31] <13Kit> <Reis> Get up, Dias. I know you can. Make it so. I don't care how heavy it feels. I know you can do it." 6She actually starts to sound annoyed. 1"Get up..!"
[23:31] <13Kit> 6Ayame hurks and falls again, then eyes him, glaring again. He won't be able to do that again. She manages to get up just an inch or so, sweating.
[23:33] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias just kneels there, seem's he's trying to stand up every so often. but to Kane, it's obvious he's holding back.
[23:34] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane quietly shifts himself, glancing back to the quartz.
[23:34] <13Kit> 6Nothing.
[23:34] <13Kit> 6Ayame gets up half-way, hissing through her teeth. Reis hrmphs, shaking her head. 1"Perhaps he was wrong."
[23:35] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> What is it that you're searching for?
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blissfully turns and plants her face into Chii's breasts, opening her mouth and now as she sleeps. Apparantly wanting bouncing goodness
[23:37] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well apparently this is it...6He tries shifting up again.
[23:37] <13Kit> <Reis> Supposedly this strange man has some kind of unlimited potential. This should be easy. I'm not sure I believe it, so I wanted to see for myself.
[23:37] <13Kit> 6Reis looks to Kane. 1"Maybe that's the case, anyway."
[23:38] <13Kit> 6Ayame slowly manages to let go and rise to both feet, she slams her foot to shift slightly, eyeing Dias and getting upright.
[23:38] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. He does. But at the cost of his own body. He wouldn't risk himself just for this. 6He reaches out to toss the quartz back toward her.
[23:39] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have what now? 6He looks at Kane
[23:39] <13Kit> 6Reis' eyes widen and she catches it, barely, then practically yells at Kane. 1"Don't do that, you fool, do you realize how important this is?!"
[23:39] <13Kit> 6Reis stomps over to him and shoves it at him.
[23:39] <13Kit> 6Ayame slams her shoulder into Dias. 1"Don't look away!"
[23:40] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Your...talents. Your heart. 6He notes, before peering towards Reis oddly. 1...I see. I'm sorry.
[23:40] <13Kit> 6Reis shakes the crystal at Kane. 1"Take it!"
[23:40] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes another step back as he's shoulder rammed.
[23:40] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and takes it.
[23:42] <13Kit> 6Reis hrmphs, turning and moves to the edge of the glyph, putting a hand to the ground. 1"Do it, Dias! Everything you came here for depends on it!"
[23:43] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stands there slightly hunched over. 1"This isn't the kind of I was expecting."
[23:44] <13Kit> 6Ayame rears back, trying to lift her fist, making a face, then stumbles and resumes just trying to balance. 1"R-Reis, don't increase it, damn it.. is this really a match?"
[23:45] <13Kit> 6Ayame falls to a knee, groaning.
[23:46] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't think she can move anymore. Does that mean I win?
[23:46] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> You cannot move either. I am sure.
[23:47] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> You wanna come in here and try this?
[23:49] <13Kit> 6Reis keeps increasing the field's effect, frowning. 1"Why won't he.."
[23:49] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias hurks and he falls to his knees.
[23:50] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> As I said. I don't think you'll achieve what you're hoping for.
[23:51] <13Kit> <Reis> I can't complete that invention without it." 6She sighs, standing.
[23:52] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> My apologies. But to simply try and force something out of someone isn't the way to achieve things.
[23:52] <13Kit> <Reis> Are you saying he would otherwise?
[23:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ok, this is starting to suck.
[23:53] <13Kit> 6Ayame falls on her face, groaning loudly.
[23:53] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> No. I'm not. I'm not him, I can't speak for when he would or would not.
[23:54] <13Kit> 6Reis twitches somewhat at Kane, then turns to the two in the field. 1"Dias, would you use your power to stand?"
[23:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh...No.
[23:55] <13Kit> <Reis> Whatever, then." 6She swipes her hand, the glyph, and its effect, shattering. She turns on her heels to leave, looking angry.
[23:55] <13Kit> 6Ayame lets out a breath, then sighs. 1"What... power?" 6She pushes up, sitting.
[23:56] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias rises slowly now, stretching his body around. 1"My extremely good looks."
[23:56] <13Kit> <Ayame> Somehow I doubt the heiress was paying attention to that..
[23:56] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ....she left without her thing.
[23:57] <13Kit> <Ayame> ...Well, she said to keep it. If a princess tells you to keep something, I'm sure she can replace it.
[23:57] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Kane. 1"Yeah, I don't know if we should carry something like that around with us.
[23:57] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ....I'll give it to Cheryl in the morning.
[23:58] <13Kit> 6Ayame slowly gets to her feet, grumbling. 1"...What, you're paranoid it's a bomb or something?"
[23:58] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...It's a bomb?! 6He eyes it with panic and shifts behind Ayame
[23:58] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I have no use for it. 6He notes.
[23:58] <13Kit> 6Ayame makes a face at Dias, then peers at Kane. 1"Why'd she give it to you, anyway?"
[23:58] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I don't know. I'm not even sure why I'm here.
[23:59] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe it's just the liqour talking. But I think she thinks that if I have any powers, she can get her reading by keeping it near me.
[23:59] <13Kit> <Ayame> ..." 6She deadpans. 1"She went to get you personally, what'd she say?"
[23:59] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I am Christ-like. 6He notes, then turns to walk back towards his room.
13[00:00] * Day changed to Tuesday, December 23rd 2008.
Session Time: Tue Dec 23 00:00:01 2008
[00:00] <13Kit> <Ayame> Christ-like? Wh-what the hell's that mean?
[00:00] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and peers over his shoulder. 1I'm not sure. Either way, she is mistaken.
[00:00] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shrugs and skips over to his booze, grabbing the bottle
[00:01] <13Kit> 6Ayame stares, then shakes her head. 1"Reis is really a kind girl. I don't know what's gotten into her, but surely that's not all she said."
[00:02] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Like I said. I'm not sure. I didn't fully understand what she meant.
[00:02] <13Chad`Winters> Well the only powers I have, are in bed and since I don't just go showing them to every girl
[00:05] <13Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
[00:08] <13Kit> 6Ayame frowns at Dias, shoving him away slightly. 1"Jeez."
[00:09] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles, adjusting the bottle so he doesn't drop it. 1"Woh...Woh...Shew. What? You afraid of sex?
[00:09] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> My name is Christopher. It means to be be Christ-like, to bear Christ. Christ was hope of all the people, a long time ago. Or at least, that is what she said.
[00:10] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Kane. 1"I thought your name was KAne.
[00:10] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Christopher Kane. Kane is my last name.
[00:10] <13Kit> 6Ayame blinks. 1'Why would that matter?" 6She scowls. 1"God, she's talking in riddles again."
[00:10] <13Kit> <Ayame> ...It doesn't make any sense, how do you spell it?
[00:10] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Yeah, well only cool people have one name.
[00:10] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ....I spell it with a Ch. Unlike the K variant.
[00:11] <13Kit> <Ayame> Ch? There's no 'h' in our alphabet, but C h r y s t?
[00:11] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's what he said. He's just got a lisp.
[00:12] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...No I don't. And I use an I. Not a Y.
[00:12] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias smacks his forehead than just downs the bottle, tossing it to the side.
[00:12] <13Kit> <Ayame> Ah, there's no 'i' either. In the current writing system your name would be C r y s t.
[00:13] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Is that relevant?
[00:13] <13Kit> <Ayame> I don't know. But it's kind of funny, if you think about it. Aren't you guys after crystals?
[00:13] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> We are indeed.
[00:14] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> We are? I'm just about punching things.
[00:14] <13Kit> 6Ayame gestures. 1"Your name means 'bearer of christ.' But if you apply our writing system, your name could actually mean 'bearer of the cryst.' A cryst is something crystallized.
[00:14] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. Maybe that is why she gave me this. 6He looks down then pauses. 1Ah. I see. 6He gets a serious look and moves to step out now.
[00:15] <13Kit> <Ayame> ..." 6She blinks. 1"...I-- I still don't get it." 6She peers at Dias. 1"..You uh. Need help back up to your room?"
[00:15] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hallway. Stairs. Hallway. Door?
[00:16] <13Kit> <Ayame> Huh?
[00:16] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Isn't that how I...Uh oh.
[00:16] <13Kit> 6Ayame blinks some more, scowling. 1"Wh-What?"
03[00:17] * Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
[00:17] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sure why not. 6He shrugs. 1"Lead the way."
[00:18] <13Kit> 6Ayame gets a bit of a look, then moves over, draping one of Dias' arms over ehr shoulder. She pauses when she notices her hands shaking-- in fact, her whole body.
[00:19] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes her take his arm than looks at her. 1"Ya cold?"
[00:23] <13Kit> 6Ayame blinks at Dias and shakes her head, her free hand bringing up her gourd-- she tilts her head back, drinking in deeply, practically guzzling.
[00:24] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly takes his arm back from around her shoulder and rests them behind the back of his neck. 1"Ahh, the dt's. Nasty little thing."
[00:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Someone seems to be spying on the two. Something is thrown at Dias' head
[00:25] <13Kit> 6Ayame slowly stops drinking and eyes her free arm with narrowed eyes. It slowly begins to stop.
[00:25] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias is hit and he scowls, rubbing it furiously
[00:25] <13Kit> 6Ayame blinks toward Dias, then winces at the sound of the object hitting the floor. She glances around.
[00:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* IT appears to be an oranament from X's room
14[00:26] * X1 (scoutx1@66.227.210.222) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[00:26] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances down and sighs. 1"Aw crap." 6He glances around to see if she's still in the hallwaything
[00:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* No sign of her
[00:27] <13Kit> <Ayame> What was that about..?
[00:28] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> A pissed of girlfriend. 6He sighs and licks his finger, holding it above him. He eyes it for a moment
[00:28] <13Kit> <Ayame> ...Pissed... off... girlfriend... Oh geez. Guess you're fine, then. See you." 6She waves her hand over a shoulder, heading for the stairs.
[00:29] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias lowers his finger and dashes off toward's X's room
[00:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* X gives Lilith orders not to let that cheating, virtue stealing Dias near her. Then flops on her bed like a depressed child
[00:30] <13Kit> 6Lilith blinks at that. 1"I-- .."
[00:30] <13Kit> 6Ayame makes a noise as Dias rushes past, sighing. Then storms off to the galley.
[00:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is in the galley, apparantly making snacks
[00:31] <13Kit> 6Ayame makes her way over, peering down. 1"What are these?"
[00:31] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Brownies.
[00:31] <13Kit> <Ayame> Why are you... awake so early?
[00:32] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides upto X's door and starts pounding on it
[00:32] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> My mistresses are asleep and do not need me.
[00:32] <13Kit> <Ayame> That does not explain why you are awake..
[00:33] <13Kit> 6Lilith frowns at the door, moving over to it. She leans close and says. 1"Go away. My mistress desires not to see you and you are disturbing her rest."
[00:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* X waves Lilith to get rid of him. "He was with another woman, holding her. I don't want to see that malfuctioning virtueless Weapon1"
[00:33] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm not going away until I can talk to her.
[00:33] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Since I have not been able to service them today, I am... full of energy. So I'm making snacks for when they wake up and begin our journey.
[00:34] <13Kit> <Ayame> Second wind, eh?
[00:34] <13Kit> <Lilith> I hope waiting in the hallway for seven hours does not phase you, then.
[00:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods a few times.
[00:35] <13Kit> 6Ayame nods, then leans in, sniffing. She reaches out slowly to take a brownie.
[00:35] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Tell X she got the wrong idea. That lady took my arm and I pulled it away.
[00:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon lets her, beaming as she waits to see how she likes it
[00:36] <13Kit> <Ayame> ... ...W-wowh. Ah've nebuh hahd somethin'... laik thish..!" 6She chomps the whole thing into her mouth, making a pleased face, savoring.
[00:36] <13Kit> <Lilith> Dias says you have the wrong idea and that this other lady put his arm there.
[00:36] <13@DeathStar> <X> Why did he let her?!
[00:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems pleased, and offers her more. "Have more."
[00:38] <13Kit> <Lilith> Why did you let her, Dias?
[00:38] <13Kit> 6Ayame looks like she's been invited to heaven and sits, nomming on another.
[00:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sits to watch her eat them.
[00:38] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I wasn't sure what she was going to do.
[00:41] <13Kit> <Lilith> He says he did not know what she would do.
[00:41] <13Kit> <Ayame> Oh my god. This is heaven. Where did you learn to make these... things?
[00:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* X sits up. "...he doesn't like me because I won't do oral sex. He's off getting other women."
[00:42] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I was programmed how to make food and snacks so my mistresses could enjoy them after sex.
[00:42] <13Kit> <Lilith> She believes you wanted the other woman for oral sex.
[00:42] <13Kit> 6Lilith frowns, blushing a bit as she relays messages of the topic change.
[00:43] <13Kit> <Ayame> They... taught you to make comfort food for sex exhaustion?
[00:43] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm with X, I'm not gonna go after another woman. 6He plops down, leaning against the door.
[00:43] <13Kit> <Lilith> He says he is with mistress and is not going after another woman.
[00:44] <13Kit> <Lilith> Apparently he only desires mistress' oral sex.
03[00:45] * X1 (scoutx1@66.227.210.222) has joined #taw
[00:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* X blushes, then nods to Lilith to open the door. "Would you have oral sex with a man you liked if you were not wed to him?"
[00:50] <13Kit> <Lilith> I-- ... I do not know, mistress. I only know what I was taught in life." 6She hangs her head. 1"I was never married, nor had sex of any kind." 6She opens the door, frowning at Dias narrowly.
[00:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* X thinks on this
[00:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias falls back, his head landing infront of her. 1"Yo."
[00:54] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias tilts his head further back to try and look between Lilith's legs and over at X. 1"So are you still mad at me for something that was entirely not my fault?"
[00:54] <13@DeathStar> <X> .... no. Lilith told me you only want oral sex with me.
[00:55] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Thank god. I don't want you mad at me.
[00:55] <13Kit> 6Lilith pauses and follows Dias' eyes. She jerks, throwing her hands down and shuffles off to the side.
[00:55] <13@DeathStar> <X> But I refuse to have oral sex with you. If Lilith wouldn't do it, neither will I.
[00:56] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs and he shifts his hands behind his head now, resting on them. 1"Well am I going to get to sleep in the same bed as you ever?
[00:56] <13Kit> <Lilith> I--
[00:57] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... would you sleep in the same bed with another man, Lilith? 6* She eyes her
[00:57] <13Kit> <Lilith> I am not saying you should, mistress, but basing such things on my experiences... when I have none and already died... may not be wise.
[00:57] <13Kit> 6Lilith hangs her head, as if she just completely discredited herself.
[00:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... I trust what you think, Lilith. You are my Inugami, after all. Your advice is crucial to me. Please do not duck out on your duty.
[00:59] <13Kit> 6Lilith jerks, then frowns, probably feeling insulted that she thinks she'd bail out on duty.
[00:59] <13@DeathStar> <X> I do not mean to insult. 6* She adds. "I am just saying your advice is something I need."
[00:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias. "She said that she will not say that I should, so no, I won't sleep in the same bed with you right now."
[01:00] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns slightly, being the inadvertant victim
[01:00] <13Kit> <Lilith> ..." 6She recovers slightly. 1"I believe it would depend on my feelings. My feelings are not the same as mistress' however."
[01:00] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well anytime before the marriage thing?
[01:00] <13@DeathStar> <X> I do not know. It will depend on Lilith's feelings. And my own.
[01:01] <13Kit> <Lilith> M-Mine..?
[01:01] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well you are her best friend.
[01:01] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes. You will not be clouded by him, so you can help me make accurate decisions
[01:02] <13Kit> 6Lilith peers at Dias, surprised. 1"If she desires... that sort of thing... I would not know."
[01:04] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm just trying to figure out the ground rules so I know.
[01:05] <13Kit> <Lilith> ...As I said, these are things I have no basis but manners for..
[01:06] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I don't see anything wrong with sleeping in the same bed.
[01:07] <13@DeathStar> <X> Well, Lilith sleeps with me. I do not know if we can all three fit
[01:07] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Seriously?
[01:08] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like a giant stuffed bear?
[01:09] <13Kit> 6Lilith frowns again, pouting visibly. She is not a stuffed bear.
[01:09] <13@DeathStar> <X> She is my Inugami!
[01:10] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> So this mean I have to share you with her now?
[01:11] <13Kit> <Lilith> Huh?
[01:12] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Baring I ever get to sleep in the same bed as her.
[01:12] <13Kit> <Lilith> Wh-What do you mean, 'share.'
[01:14] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Two's company, three's a blast, four's a challenge. But going back to three, I'd rather only be it two
[01:15] <13@DeathStar> <X> Then it is too bad. I am not giving up Lilith
[01:15] <13Kit> 6Lilith pauses, blinking like a deer in headlights.
[01:16] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not asking you too. Just trying to figure out how this is going to be.
[01:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> Maybe you should will a bigger bed.
[01:17] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well since we're not going to be having sex, I suppose it's not that big of a deal.
[01:17] <13Kit> 6Lilith pauses, then sighs in relief.
[01:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods a few times. "If we do have sex, you must give Lilith something nice for not being able to be near me. I will crush her, I am sure, to have to stay in another bed for the night."
[01:20] <13@DeathStar> *It will
[01:23] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias laughs lightly. 1"Yeah, I can do that."
[01:23] <13Kit> 6Lilith tilts her head, somewhat relieved it seems that she would not be asked to help or something. 1"I-- I do not require bribery."
[01:24] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> So Lil, you fine with me dating X?
[01:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at her. "You will need a gift. I would be unable to enjoy myself if you are not compensated for having to be away from me."
[01:26] <13Kit> 6Lilith frowns and shifts, being put on the spot so much. 1"My answer to both is as long as mistress is happy."
[01:27] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, but you have to have your own personal opinion.
[01:28] <13Kit> <Lilith> That is my opinion." 6she slightly snaps.
[01:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* X winces and peers down
[01:28] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sorry. 6He waves a hand apologetically.
[01:30] <13Kit> <Lilith> My opinion is that if you make her unhappy I will personally amputate your every appendage, disembowel and then behead you, if not castrate should it involve any variation of sex that is frequently mentioned.
[01:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* X beams at that. "This is why I value your opinion."
[01:30] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh...Good thing I'm not afraid of you, otherwise I might question everything.
[01:33] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> X, we both know you wouldn't be happy if that happened to me.
[01:33] <13Kit> <Lilith> It would only happen if you made her unhappy or hurt her.
[01:33] <13@DeathStar> <X> If you had made me unhappy, I do not see why I would care.
[01:34] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well what would happen if you made me unhappy?
[01:34] <13@DeathStar> <X> Then you deserved it
[01:34] <13Kit> <Lilith> You should leave if that is the case.
[01:34] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wow, did I get the short end of this stick.
[01:34] <13@DeathStar> <X> Are you saying I'm not worth it?
[01:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at him
[01:35] <13Kit> <Lilith> I imagine an inugami might do the same to mistress, if they could defeat me, but you lack an inugami.
[01:36] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think you're worth it, X. 6He smiles at her than looks at Lilith. 1"I had to leave my sidekick back at home, sorry."
[01:37] <13Kit> <Lilith> Marcus Jones was an inugami?
[01:37] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> No. He was my sidekick. Totally different.
[01:38] <13Kit> <Lilith> I believe I specified inugami..." 6She frowns.
[01:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Haha, so Marcus can beat ya huh?
[01:40] <13Kit> <Lilith> I doubt that Marcus Jones could defeat me, let alone do the things I stated.
[01:41] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well Marcus would never do something like that anyways.
[01:43] <13Kit> <Lilith> As I said." 6She notes, nodding.
[01:43] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> So when are you going to marry Drake inside you and start having sex with him?
[01:48] <13Kit> 6Lilith jerks, scowling at Dias furiously.
[01:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* X frowns at Dias.
[01:48] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh oh....Sorry?
[01:49] <13Kit> <Lilith> Hrmph.
[01:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls backwards and onto his knees and he stands up. 1"So do I get to cuddle with you tonight?
[01:51] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... Only if you lay on the other side of Lilith
[01:51] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> But how is that cuddling with you?
[01:52] <13Kit> <Lilith> I would prefer to be opposite of mistress.
[01:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... Alright. 6* She looks a bit embarrased now at the idea.
[01:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Opposite...Like head to toe?
[01:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias oddly.
[01:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm just confused now
[01:54] <13Kit> <Lilith> Meaning I do not wish to lie beside you." 6She scoffs.
[01:55] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I am with X. I'd feel like I was betraying her.
[01:55] <13Kit> 6Lilith tilts her head, staring blankly.
[01:56] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She shakes her head once, then lays down in the middle
[01:57] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias uses his foot to shut the door and moves to pull his shirt off.
[01:57] <13Kit> 6Lilith jerks. 1"Wh-What are you doing?"
[01:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stares as well.
[01:58] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses. 1"...Getting ready to goto bed?"
[01:58] <13Kit> <Lilith> You will not remove your clothing!!
[01:58] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Right. Tact suit. 6He sighs and shifts it to back to that tact suit and he unseals the top, peeling it off.
[02:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* X covers her face
[02:01] <13Kit> <Lilith> St-Stop!!
[02:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes his entire suit off and tosses it onto the floor, he stands there in a pair of boxers.
[02:01] <13Kit> 6Lilith turns away, twitching
[02:01] <13@DeathStar> <X> I do not want to look now. Lilith, do not let me see.
[02:02] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...What's wrong with my body?
[02:02] <13@DeathStar> <X> It's not wearing clothes. And will be next to me!!
[02:02] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias' jaw drops. 1"It? I'm standing here right here X."
[02:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks toward Lilith. "Hand him a robe."
[02:03] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not wearing a robe.
[02:03] <13@DeathStar> <X> T-Then you can sleep on the floor!
[02:04] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs and grabs his tact suit. 1"I'll just sleep in my room than."
[02:04] <13Kit> <Lilith> That will be fine.
[02:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peeks once, then peers away.
[02:05] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Do I atleast get to give you a kiss good night?
[02:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* X blushes at that. "Alright. You may....kiss me."
[02:06] <13Kit> 6Lilith peers back, frowning.
[02:06] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias tosses the suit over his shoulder and he moves over to the bed, sitting on it and leaning in towards X.
[02:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* X blindly leans forward a bit, still not wanting to see him in his boxers.
[02:08] <13Kit> <Lilith> I-Is this oral sex..!?
[02:08] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans in, kissing her on the lips gently.
[02:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* X pauses, then freaks out when Lilith says this. But then pauses when it's normal - she kisses him back, draining some of his energy on instinct
[02:10] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias breaks off the kiss, his breath slightly heavy.
[02:10] <13@DeathStar> <X> Sorry. I did not mean to ... 6* She opens her eyes
[02:10] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hm. I have to work on that.
[02:11] <13Kit> 6Lilith just stares, aghast.
[02:11] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's alright. 6He smiles at her. 1"You'll figure it out with practice.
[02:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods once, then peers at Lilith. "I should practice on you until I get used to not taking energy. We can transfer energy back and forth due to our connection
[02:13] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...6He just stares now, shocked
[02:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias. "What?"
[02:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stands up, speechless and he moves to leave
[02:15] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... What's wrong? 6* She looks mad now.
[02:15] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops at the door to look back at X. 1"Just the thought of you kissing Lilith caught me off guard.
[02:16] <13Kit> 6Lilith, being frozen, was probably caught offguard as well.
[02:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> It is practice! I don't want to kill you. You need to keep your energy up or you'll get brain damage.
[02:16] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like a little bit of energy draining's going to slow me down
[02:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* X hmphs at that
[02:18] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I dig the you not wanting me to have brain damage tho.
[02:18] <13Kit> <Lilith> You would." 6She crosses her arms, huffily.
[02:19] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Yes. I would. A lot of people would.
[02:20] <13@DeathStar> <X> If he is brain damaged, he will only become more impossible.
[02:21] <13Kit> <Lilith> True.
[02:23] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And I really don't like the brain damage part. At all
[02:23] <13Kit> 6Lilith glances away, out the window.
[02:24] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... I will see you tomorrow, in any event. Me and Lilith will need time to practice.
[02:24] <13@DeathStar> 6 *X nods. Poor Lilith
15[02:24] * 13Chad`Winters sighs. 1"Yeah, get some sleep. We're going to have a busy day tomorrow. I'll get up early enough so we can get some breakfast. Sound good?"
[02:24] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes.
[02:25] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Alright. Night good looking. Night Lil.
[02:25] <13Kit> <Lilith> ... ..." 6She peers over her shoulder, then quickly looks forward. 1"...Good-night."
[02:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks embarrassed, nodding. <X> Good night, Dias.
[02:26] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias waves at them and he opens the door, stepping out and shutting the door behind him.
03[02:27] * Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
