[20:01] <01@DeathStar> Stardate: Reality Day 35
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> Location: Camp
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* A chilly nights creeps away a bit as the sun rises, though a cool wind continues to blow. X is already outside by the fire, waiting with her arms crossed. Cheryl is still in her room with Chii, cuddling her for warmth
01[20:02] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sits outside by the fire, drinking a cup of tea. He offers a cup to X.
06[20:03] * 01@Jennifer slowly opens her eyes and sits up, looking disoriented a moment before sighing.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* X ignores him
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott steps out of his room with Kane, rubbing his face tiredly
[20:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole is still out in the grass, damp from the morning dew. He sleeps soundly.
[20:03] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel is still sleeping at this point, catch up on hours missed
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Bugs rest on Cole
01[20:05] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron pouts and sips his tea.
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane is stil asleep.
06[20:05] * 01@Jennifer rubs her head and sits up, grabbing her things and changing her bandage, checking over the wound carefully.
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott sits by the fire
[20:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole snorts and jerks up, flinging bugs and dew. He pauses and lets out a loud yawn, stretching out.
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* The bugs fly out at Cameron
01[20:08] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron taps the fire as they near and it roars up for a moment, he sips his tea.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts awake finally, sitting up; she looks for her tactical suit
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* The fire roars - sadly they weren't at the right angle and Cameron is hit by bugs
01[20:09] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sighs and swats them away. Jennifer pulls herself out of her shelter and fixes her tact suit as she goes.
[20:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane's datapad beeps and her jerks slightly, pushimg himself up.
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her tactical suit and begins to step into it
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Ugh. It's morning already? 6He shakes his hair, wringing it out slightly as he stands up.
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> <X> For an hour now
[20:11] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> 5 more minutes?
01[20:11] <01@Jennifer> * Jennifer sits down by the fire, yawning softly. Cameron cleans a bug off his sleeve.
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl zips up her tactical suit and steps outside
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane gets up and steps outside, glancing around as he moves over to the fire.
01[20:13] <01@Jennifer> * Jennifer yawns a bit and nods to Kane. "Ohayou."
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Pardon?
01[20:14] <01@Jennifer> "Good morning." *she smiles a bit*
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <X> She is talking in other tongues again because she likes it when people get confused
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl checks her datapad, then at everyone. "Everyone eaten?"
01[20:14] <01@Jennifer> "Or because I have habits." *she looks about* "There's food?"
[20:14] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> No. 6He notes to Cheryl after glancing from X to Jen.
[20:14] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel pulls herself out of bed, "...h-huh? Food?"
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We should all have rations
[20:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole dusts himself off. 1Is there a hotel nearbye? I need to shower.
01[20:16] <01@Jennifer> "Oh ummm..." *she reaches into her pouch, pulling out a ration* "Forgot I had these things..."
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane adjusts his suit and then glances to Cameron. 1You should probably collapse the empty rooms.
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole whistles and make the fire a bit smokey, standing over it.
01[20:18] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks them over. "Everyone out?"
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Not all of them, no.
01[20:19] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I'll get them before we leave."
[20:20] <01@Kit> 6Chii grumbles as she exits the almighty wooden cabin shelter, rubbing her eyes furiously and yawning loudly without merit.
[20:20] <01@Kit> 6Lilith exits one of the cabins holding Key up by the collar of her shirt-- one of the only things she has on, pouting with an annoyed expression and her arms crossed as she dangles.
06[20:20] * 01@Jennifer munches on a ration as she watches people.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Lilith and nods, holding out a ration with some bacon grease she put on it at some point
[20:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes out his glasses and cleans them, then places them off.
[20:22] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel finds a place to sit, as she eats her ration. Missing cooking breakfast at home.
[20:23] <01@Kit> 6Lilith drops Key in some grass and looks down on her eerily. 1"Clothes." She utters.
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kisses Chii when she gets near; She seems perky and one can guess what happened last night
[20:23] <01@Kit> <Key> NO!
[20:23] <01@Kit> 6Lilith twitches once, but takes the ration with a nod to X.
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> <X> Clothes or no crab later.
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole lets out an ah. 1Nothing like a smoke bath to get rid of the funky smell.
[20:24] <01@Kit> <Key> No crab anyway!
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* X crosses her arms. "No crab ever."
[20:24] <01@Kit> <Lilith> ...I will end you, girl." 6She stares at Key, who stares back at the taller girl with a stubborn squint.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott watches, then smiles. "I see you and the magican girl are good friends."
[20:25] <01@Kit> 6Key hrmphs at Lilith, unintimidated by the common threat with no follow through. 1"Crabman gone."
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6* He pulls out his datapad and steps of fto the side.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls back from the kiss to eye her datapad, eating a single ration for energy. X twitches at Key's words, then walks off from camp to be alone
01[20:26] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns a little and dusts his hand off. Standing up.
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sighs and keeps talking to himself, since no one else will. 1Yeah. Those smoke baths are nice.
06[20:26] * 01@Jennifer finishes her ration and stretches, yawning. "Maybe we'll find a settlement, then we can bathe and stuff."
[20:26] <01@Kit> 6Lilith sighs, watching X go off, then casually shifts to malamute form and kicks dirt over Key, who shrieks, eyes the dog, then starts chasing the oversized canine with a stick.
01[20:26] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I could probably work up some sort of hot water bath." *he looks thoughtful*
[20:26] <01@Kit> <Chii> Any news on the crystal?
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Still northward. Everyone done eating?
01[20:27] <01@Jennifer> I'm ready! *she hops up, then blinks a bit, putting a hand on her shoulder*
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Are you okay?
01[20:28] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah, just forgot for a sec." *she smiles*
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, then hooks her datapad to her warrior belt after she transforms it back into the Xena like outfit, then begins to move north
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I bet if I had boobs I would look that good in an outfit like that. 6He notes, then glances down at himself with a nod.
06[20:29] * 01@Jennifer changes hers back to the peasent girl attire, fixing the skirt before heading after Cheryl. Cameron snaps his fingers and the shelters collapse, become rubble, then sprout saplings. He walks on.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him. "You want boobs."
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stands up, dusting himself off
[20:30] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes Cole nervously, and shifts closer to Cheryl
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Nah. I would get depressed since I only have on arms to play with them.
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> NRP: one arm*
[20:31] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel shifts closer to Cheryl
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Cheryl as she approaches him, then falls into pace.
[20:31] <01@Kit> 6Chii walks along behind Cheryl lazily, still happy being a ninja.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves to join the others when they pass her. Scott follows along
01[20:32] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "A pity I don't have a better understanding of what you're made of Cole, I could probably make you something to replace it if I did." *he now puts away his teacup*
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Take pieces of his armor and make an arm. He has some bulky parts, right?
[20:33] <01@Kit> 6Lilith sticks close to X, putting Key on her right side, still half-clothed.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* X refuses to look at Key
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> B-bulky...
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Forget it, then. Maybe one day we'll find a reality with some robotics
[20:34] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I've wrote up a schematic based on intel Cole has given me. I just need materials.
01[20:34] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I could do that. If you want to spare a piece."
06[20:35] * 01@Jennifer walks along, she seems a bit more cheerful today, she looks around at their surroundings as they move.
[20:35] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...we'll probally find one eventually." *worries Cole would get boobs made*
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I've had body parts ripped off so often that it's like sneezing at this point.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* They move through a grassy field, with wooded area all about. A faint trail is visible, made by people walking this part frequently
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oh did I tell you about the time I died? Now that's a story.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches into her cleavage on that note and pulls out a flask, drinking it once
01[20:37] <01@Jennifer> "Don't think you have."
[20:37] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel pouts, wishing she had the cleavage to hide that sort of booze.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott walks along quietly, peering at those talking
[20:37] <01@Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes at Cheryl
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii. "What? You don't drink anymore."
01[20:38] <01@Jennifer> "There's a tradeoff." *she giggles a bit and walks along*
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Well. It was epic. Selfless and all that.
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they walk along, they can see a large brick wall built with a gate - two men in metal knight armor are standing guard- ironically, or intentionally, the area on either side of the wall - and it's a good size, stretching some ways either way - has a canyon on either side
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head slightly as he approaches.
[20:41] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...this really does feel like one of those fairs."
[20:41] <01@Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Points ahead.
06[20:41] * 01@Jennifer moves a bit closer to Kane and Cheryl. Cameron fixes his gloves and puts his hands in his pockets.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slows now, peering about
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Fairs?
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wonder if it's a check point or -- 6* She notices some buildings further behind the wall that seem taller than it. "City."
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* By now the sun is about mid-day in the sky
[20:43] <01@Kit> <Chii> Huh. The crystal's in a city?
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No; it's still further
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Curious it's guarded. 6He notes.
[20:44] <01@Kit> <Chii> Oh. Damn.
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Want me to go talk to them?
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guards take notice of them as they get closer
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sighs.
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guards finally speak as they get nearer. "Halt. What is your business here?"
06[20:46] * 01@Jennifer looks to Cheryl and Kane to answer, Cameron crosses his arms.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're travelers; we just want to pass through your city. 6* The guards exchange looks now
[20:47] <01@Kit> 6Lilith fights with Key in the background.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <Guard> We're in the middle of a war right now - if you want to rest in this city, that is fine, but you cannot pass through it and continue forward. It is for your safety
[20:47] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6He glances from Cheryl to the guard.
[20:48] <01@Kit> <Chii> Figures.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns a bit
06[20:48] * 01@Jennifer looks between Cheryl and the guards.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <X> Something tells me at the mention of war, we're leaving
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. We'd like to rest in the city.
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Better than getting swept up in another one, right?
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guards pull out some paper and jot info into it, then hand it to Cheryl; taking it, Cheryl moves inside; the city seems to be made mostly of blocks and some wood. A small fort is located near the north in
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <X> If we keep avoiding all fights, we'll never save anyone
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves in, glancing around as they move.
06[20:50] * 01@Jennifer heads after Cheryl, Cameron takes a moment to look over the guards and the city beyond before moving forward.
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. Sure. 6He steps along.
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott steps in; a tavern can be seen nearby; the people that move about the city look restless and pale, clearly in a state of shock nd worry
01[20:51] <01@Jennifer> "Cheery..."
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> War is never a good thing.
01[20:52] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah..." *she frowns*
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> *sighs* I was hoping this would be an easy reality. I wonder if it's like that one place we went to with giant everything
[20:53] <01Ariel> Raquel> "I hope it's more like... that lawyer one, where all we really needed to do was wait."
01[20:53] <01@Jennifer> "Giant everything?"
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I don't think so. As long as there isn't dragons, we should do just fine.
01[20:54] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Don't... don't do that... don't do that..."
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Giant dragons. 6* She adds, rubbing her face. "Well, we have two options. We can leave, or sneak out of the city and head northward and try to avoid this war
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <X> And once again let people die around us...
01[20:55] <01@Jennifer> "We could always try sneaking and then leave if it doesn't work out."
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who knows what the enemy could do, though; that forest of illusion almost did us in for a while
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes X, then glances to Cheryl.
01[20:56] <01@Jennifer> "True..."
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets take a vote, then. What does everyone think?
[20:56] <01Ariel> Raquel> "If it's an army... we shouldn't really worry, should we? Armies are easy to avoid. It's super powerful individuals tracking us down, that's a problem."
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I would prefer learning more before I make my decision.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shouldn't be too hard to find any info. Just ask any of the shockedp eople.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <X> I think we should fight whoever, or whatever, is causing problems
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You always want to fight. Just relax and stuff.
06[20:58] * 01@Jennifer rubs the back of her head and frowns.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <X> I want to help people. 6* She says coldly, then walks off for the tavern
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Icey.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> She does seem like she's carrying a lot of issues.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs her hand through her bangs. "Lets go to the tavern. Drunk people have looser lips."
[20:59] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...she has a point, really. If we can help these people..."
06[20:59] * 01@Jennifer watches X go. "Yeah..."
[20:59] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> She just lost her boyfriend. She needs some time, you know? 6He moves towards the tavern.
[20:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps off to talk to some of the locals.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> She did? I'm sorry to hear that
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves for the tavern
[20:59] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel gives Cole a cold look, and moves to catch up with X
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> We'll find him eventually. He's a strong guy.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers about at people splitting up, then moves off himself in a direction
06[21:00] * 01@Jennifer follows Cheryl.
01[21:00] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sticks with Kane for now, looking about the town.
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane clears his throat. 1Excuse me, I'm not from around here, could you answer some questions for me?
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the Tavern door, stepping into the smell of ale and sweat. She moves over to a table and sits down in a creaky wooden chair
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* No one even looks at Kane
[21:02] <01Chad`Winters> 6A brown haired male in his early twenties peers at X, then Cheryl as they come in. He's wearing a brown cloak.
[21:02] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. Easy enough. 6He rubs his chin and moves towards the tavern.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* X sits down at a separate table
01[21:03] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron shrugs and moves with him. "They don't seem very chatty."
06[21:03] * 01@Jennifer looks around slowly at everyone inside the bad, sitting down by Cheryl.
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Probably afraid that we are spies or something of that sort. 6He notes.
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves over to the bar and takes a seat.
01[21:04] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Or just plain afraid."
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> That's most likely.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* A waitress in enough cloth to barely be decent moves over. "What can I get you?" <Cheryl> The strongest drink you have.
[21:05] <01@Kit> <Chii> Watered down.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Water down her food, too, if you do that
01[21:05] <01@Jennifer> "Ummm... something without alchohol please."
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* The waitress looks at the two, then at Jen. "Cidar, then?"
[21:05] <01@Kit> <Chii> Bitch, no one messes with the medieval burger.
01[21:05] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah! Cider."
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps into the bar and moves over to sit with Cheryl and the others.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* The waitress looks at Chii. "Med-i-eval burger?"
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* the bartender moves over to Cole to get his order
01[21:06] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks about the bar and moves to the actual namesake of the thing, ordering a drink and getting chatty. "Another bloody fine day gents?"
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Some Knights enter the tavern, chattering amongst themselves about someone called Tyrol.
[21:06] <01Ariel> 6* A rather vacant and unbalanced looking girl with short blonde hair eyes Cheryl. She looks almost like a beggar, with horribly mismatched clothes, except she's lacking the trademark dirt. She gestures to Cheryl, seeming to speak to no one in particular, "Bet she drinks a lot."
[21:06] <01@Kit> <Chii> Take a piece of beef, cut it into a thick disc, grill it, slap goat cheese on top of it, then put it between pieces of bread.
[21:07] <01Chad`Winters> 6The man takes a deep drink from his mug and sets it down. He stands up
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* the waitress writes that down, then looks at Kane for his order
[21:07] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel smacks her forehead as she listens to Chii, flopping down near X
[21:07] <01@Kit> <Chii> You'll make a fortune if you make these.
[21:07] <01Chad`Winters> 6The man glances at the girl. 1"You should have a drinking contest with her then.
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Some dried meat.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at the girl once, the man, then away
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> <Waitress> And to drink?
[21:08] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Cider is fine, thank you.
[21:08] <01Ariel> 6* The girl jumps at the voice, glancing back, "I don't think that's a good idea. George says she'd be a scary drunk."
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* She moves off to get stuff, The bartender ignores Cameron at first as he's in front of Cole waiting
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oh. What kind of alcohol you have?
01[21:09] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks at Cole.
[21:09] <01Chad`Winters> <Man> Yeah...George. 6He gives her a look and stands up with his mug in his hand. He moves over and takes a seat across from Cheryl. 1"So what brings you to Jibral?"
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man lists some stuff
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. The third one, thanks. Put it on here tab. 6He motions towards Cheryl.
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the man. "What brings you to a stranger's table."
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* The bartender pours Cole his drink, then sets down Cameron's.
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole drinks it with an ah.
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes the man, sliding his hand into his pocket.
[21:11] <01Chad`Winters> <Man> Well the stranger part would be the what. 6He takes a drink from his mug. 1"I mean, this isn't the place to be around here, so you can't be hear for the sight seeing.
[21:11] <01Ariel> 6* The girl nods, "George is very perceptive."
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe I wanted a drink and food.
06[21:12] * 01@Jennifer looks down at the table, she fusses with her skirt a bit, which convienently puts her hands near one of her guns.
[21:13] <01Chad`Winters> <Man> So you traveled all the way here? 6He studies her curiously with his green eyes.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* The waitress returns with their drinks, and Kane's dried meat, then moves into the back to check on the progress of medieval burger
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Could be. So tell me. Why isn't this the place to be around?
01[21:13] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron downs his drink and sighs with satisfaction.
[21:13] <01Ariel> <Girl> "People come a long way for the food here!" *pauses* "No... wait. They don't."
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes a drink with his free hand, then starts to chew on some jerkey.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott steps into the tavern and sits down by Jen
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her tankard and begins to drink
06[21:13] * 01@Jennifer looks up and smiles to Scott, then takes her cidar and takes a sip.
[21:14] <01Ariel> 6* The girl leans over and whispers to Kane, "I bet she's looking for rocks. She looks like the sort that'd go looking for rocks."
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the girl, looking like she might ripple her out of the room.
[21:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head and eyes the girl. 1You'll excuse me if I'm not friendly with someone that I do not know. 6He notes in a polite tone.
[21:14] <01Chad`Winters> <Man> The constant attacks by vicious monsters is one of the reasons.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah. So you're at war with monsters.
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Monsters?! 6He hops up and moves over to them. 1What kind? Big, small, ugly, cute?
01[21:15] <01@Jennifer> "There are cute ones?"
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Cole now
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* A look of death
[21:15] <01Ariel> 6* The girl looks startled. "Oh... I'm sorry. I'm Iyana. You're from... 'out of town', right?"
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Well, so-6He pauses and eyes Cheryl's look and slumps, moving back to the bar.
[21:16] <01Ariel> 6* She makes the finger gestures.
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We're not from around here, yes.
[21:16] <01Chad`Winters> <Man> Well those are Janus' means of attack.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* People in the bar stare at Cole now; including the Knights
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Janus?
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to the man quickly now, an arched brow.
06[21:16] * 01@Jennifer looks over at Cheryl now, then the Knight.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knights whisper to each other as they stare at Cole; one of them looks at Cheryl's table
[21:17] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana nods, "He's a bad man. Wants the pretty rock all for himself."
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott looks about, confused; the waitress brings over a slab of steak with cheese on it, setting it down for Chii
[21:17] <01Chad`Winters> 6The man studies Cheryl now. 1"Apparently you've drank enough to forget. You should think about sobering up."
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe so. 6* She goes to drain the entire tankard in one go if not stopped
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane focuses on eating, a perplexed look on his face.
[21:18] <01Chad`Winters> <Man> By the way, my name is Dahok.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is it.
[21:19] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana steps over and offers Cheryl a mug of water that she didn't have before, "Here. Helps with headaches, miss dranktoomuch."
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl give Iyana the same look she gave Cole
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> And here I thought your name was George.
[21:19] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Horrible name.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Waitress, refill on my drink. 6* She says
06[21:20] * 01@Jennifer fidgets a bit in her seat.
[21:20] <01@Kit> <Chii> Hey, where's my bread?
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Dahok. Curious name.
[21:20] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana glances back, and shakes her head, "No, George is my friend."
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. I see.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> <Waitress> You didn't order bread, did you?
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* The waitress gives Cheryl a new tankard
[21:20] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana lowers her voice to a stage whisper, "He thinks he's a dragon. But he's really not."
[21:21] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> <X> ... She is a crazy person. Do not encourage her
[21:21] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...is it too late to vote to leave?"
01[21:21] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron leans over Iyana. "Dragon, you say?"
[21:21] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's a great name. 6He points at Kane then looks at Cheryl. 1"So what really brings you here?"
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not saying.
[21:22] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana nods, "He thinks he is. But that's just silly."
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Cameron. Something about her expression says Cameron is in the negative points with her
[21:22] <01@Kit> <Chii> I said put this slab between bread!
01[21:22] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I see, terrible affliction that."
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* The waitress moves to cut a loaf of hard bread, then cuts it in two places, picks the steak up and sets it on one, and places the other half on top
[21:23] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> But yes, Janus has been attacking the city for months now and hasn't shown any signs of letting up. Which is unfortunate.
[21:24] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana reaches behind her back, and pulls out a piece of paper. She unrolls it to show Cameron a picture of a crystal dragon, "He looks like that. See?"
[21:24] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Janus is a man. Or a collection of men?
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm
01[21:24] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> *he tilts his head* Looks awfully dragonlike to me lass.
[21:25] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Of course it does. But it's not."
[21:25] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shrugs. 1"No one's gotten close enough to find out."
[21:25] <01@Kit> <Chii> Bingo.
01[21:25] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "What is it then?"
[21:25] <01@Kit> 6Chii chomps into her medieval burger.
[21:25] <01Ariel> Iyana> "It's George."
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The bread is a bit moldy
01[21:25] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Well yes luv, but what is George?"
[21:26] <01Ariel> Iyana> "He's my friend. He watches out for me."
[21:26] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes the mold, then narrows her eyes.
06[21:26] * 01@Jennifer concentrates on her cider.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks her tankard
[21:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole quietly sits off to the side, since Cheryl gave him an evil eye.
[21:26] <01@Kit> <Chii> You need to use bread that's not molding, then you can sell tons of these!
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm guessing no one is allowed to go north but Knights
01[21:26] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I... see. Is he here now?"
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Waitress> That's our best bread, miss
[21:26] <01@Kit> <Chii> Ninjas are allowed north.
[21:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane finishes his dried meat, and then starts drinking the sider.
[21:26] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Right. And trust me that I've tried. 6He sighs as he drums his fingerson the table
[21:26] <01@Xanatos> NRP: Cidar*
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why?
[21:27] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Maybe... but I think it's a secret. Maybe you'll see him some day."
[21:27] <01@Kit> <Chii> We're allowed north because we don't follow rules.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knights eye Chii now, focused on her
01[21:28] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I'd be honored to meet him." *he smiles and holds out his hand to the girl, a rose appearing in it* "Thanks for sharing with me lass."
[21:28] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes the knights right back, smiling.
[21:28] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Because of all the monsters.
[21:28] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You can be an idiot sometimes. 6He breathes.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* One gets up and casually steps outside. Scott drinks some cider he got
[21:28] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana pulls out a lily to counter Cameron, and grins.
[21:28] <01@Kit> <Chii> If he's going to alert some people to arrest me I'll kick his ass." 6She notes to the others.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* The other Knight eyes Chii more. Cheryl rubs her face.
01[21:29] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron claps a hand over his heart. "For me? How wonderful."
[21:29] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes the knight leave. 1"And you're friend just put you guys on thewrong side of the knights favor.
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Mhmmm.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii. I swear to God.
[21:29] <01@Kit> <Chii> So predictable.
06[21:29] * 01@Jennifer facepalms.
[21:29] <01@Kit> 6Chii blinks at Cheryl. 1"Whaaat?"
[21:29] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana nods, "Mmmhmm. Until it poofs. Everything poofs eventually."
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You need to learn not to say comments that can get us into trouble. It just compromises our mission. What if we have to fight a ton of Knights because you said something that makes them think you're trouble?
[21:30] <01@Kit> <Chii> I am trouble. But I'm hireable trouble.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She just stands up and takes her tankard to the bar, tossing gold coins down, then steps out
01[21:30] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron exchanges flowers with her, he smiles and puts the lily in his coat pocket to show. "Darling girl really. Thank you."
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We'll probably need to leave now. 6He notes once he stands and moves after Cheryl.
06[21:31] * 01@Jennifer downs the rest of her cidar and scrambles to follow Cheryl, wincing a bit when she bumps her shoulder.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott looks confused. The Knight begins to rise from his table as they get up to go
[21:31] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes the mold on her food and moves over to the knights. 1"Hey, where're you going?"
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and down his entire tankward, taking a second to pause and shake his head, following after them.
[21:31] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches the two, his eyes glancing for the door, then watches her leave.
[21:31] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Don't blink. Precious things vanish if you blink. Worlds fade to night if you blink long enough."
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* The remaining Knight eyes Chii, a hand moving to his sword
[21:31] <01@Kit> <Chii> Oh come on, don't do that. I don't really feel like fighting this early, especially over nothing. You don't have anything I want." 6She twitches.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stays in the bar with Chii; outside, three Knights approach - one from the bar, another similiar to him, and a tall man in decorated armor
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> <Knight> ...
[21:32] <01@Kit> <Chii> I want to know more about the north. Is that where your monster things came from?
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> <Knight> ...
01[21:32] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron watches the procession. "And don't dream any more then you dare, else the real dreams will escape you." *he bows* "Got to go luv."
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches the three approach
06[21:32] * 01@Jennifer sticks with Cheryl, she looks up at her, then the three.
[21:32] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly stands up with his mug and he stumbles over to Chii, spilling some booze on her. 1"Sorry guys. She's had a little too much to drink."
[21:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane and Cole both pauses.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The remaining Knight eyes Dahok now
[21:33] <01@Kit> <Chii> ..." 6She stares at Dahok. 1"...Don't make me punch you."
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> May I help you?
[21:33] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana give the knights an energetic nod, "I think she's a bit crazy too."
[21:33] <01@Kit> 6Chii looks back to the knights, gesturing. 1"I have a loud mouth, but in the long run I want to help. I'm a summoner, so I have to check weird things out anyway. Maybe I can help with the monster problem."
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* One of the Knights motions at Cheryl, whispering. The taller one stops. "Are you the strangers that just entered our town recently?" 6* He notes cripsly.
[21:34] <01@Kit> 6Chii peers at Iyana now. 1"...Are all your beggars this weird?"
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The only Knight in the bar, since the other three are outside, ONE Knight, JUST ONE, eyes Chii, still quiet
[21:34] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes. We are.
[21:34] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans in close to Chii whispering. 1"Don't piss 'em off."
[21:34] <01@Kit> <Chii> You're pissing me off. Back off.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> I want you to come with us, please. 6* His words leave no room for no
06[21:35] * 01@Jennifer frowns and rubs her shoulder, she looks to Cheryl again now.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* The bar Knight looks back and forth at Chii and the others. He seems to be waiting on someone to come
[21:35] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok throws his hands up, giving that I tried look and he turns, moving to leave
[21:35] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel keeps her head down.
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Cheryl now.
01[21:35] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I'm sure there's just a misunderstanding here."
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tchs. "Fine." 6* Her expression says she'll probably jump out of the reality. The Knight Captain motions at one of his men. "Get the loud one you told me about and tell her to come, too."
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight moves into the bar. The Knight in the bar looks relieved at back up being back. <Knight> Would you please come with us, miss?
[21:36] <01@Kit> 6Chii twitches at the lone knight. 1"What, captain got your tongue?"
[21:36] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana leans over to one of the knights, "...I think she bites."
[21:36] <01@Kit> 6Chii slowly peers over at the others. 1"Yeah, sure, at least that means someone with a voice and personality'll be there, I bet.."
01[21:37] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sighs andlooks at Chii. "We can only hope luv."
[21:37] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok steps out of the bar to watch the scene
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second Knight motions Chii to come with him
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight captain looks them over outside, keeping his eyes on them. His gaze is cold.
[21:37] <01@Kit> 6Chii puts her hands on her hips and moves after the second, sighing.
06[21:38] * 01@Jennifer shifts a bit closer to Cheryl, keeping on the shy look. Cameron sighs and moves with Chii.
[21:38] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana follows after Chii, humming idly to herself.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Capain eyes Chii join them. Chii could feel Cheryl's pissed off attitude in the bond, being a strong emotion. The Knight Captain nods. <Knight Captain> Follow
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane adjusts his tie, then moves after the Captain.
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole whistles as he walks after them.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* He moves ahead. Cheryl steps along. X gets up from her seat finally in the bar, then steps out slowly, since she was never associated; sadly for Scott, the Knight in the bar snags his arm since he sat by Jen. That ho
[21:39] <01@Kit> 6Chii pauses to eye Iyana. 1"...Who're you and why are you following?"
01[21:39] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "This is my new friend. Lovely girl isn't she?"
[21:39] <01Ariel> Iyana> "I'm Iyana." *smiles*
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight behind Chii nudges her forward
[21:39] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel slips out quietly after X
[21:40] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes the knight. 1"Touch me again I'll break that arm. That girl wasn't with us." 6She mumbles, then moves along.
[21:40] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes another drink from his mug, glancing at X and Raquel
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain eyes Chii. "Stop threatening my men or I'll be more forceful."
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* X frowns. "Idiots."
[21:40] <01@Kit> <Chii> There's no need to be shovey when I said I'd go anyway.
06[21:40] * 01@Jennifer moves with Cheryl. Cameron eyes Chii, shaking his head. "Just move Darlin."
[21:40] <01Ariel> Iyana> "It's okay. You're from 'out of town'. I understand." *does quote gestures still*
[21:40] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So you were with them.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain raises a hand. "Keep your mouth shut please."
[21:41] <01@Kit> 6Chii seethes, clenching her hands, and obviously not going to.
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's attitude gets even pissier
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain keeps walking, but it's clear he's waiting to see if Chii listens
[21:42] <01@Kit> 6Chii opens her mouth, then jerks, eyeing Cheryl.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* People in town watch them pass, whispering to each other, probably thinking they're enemies
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls his hand out of his coat, letting it hand limp beside himself as he walks.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's face is perfectly neutral, but that's a contrast. She's pissed. And it seems to be directed at Chii
[21:42] <01@Kit> 6Lilith follows alongside X, Key riding on her back since she's in dog-mode.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* They reach a fort and the Knight Captain motions them inside
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* X follows at a distance, not responding to Dahok
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the fort and the Knight Captain leads them to a room - he enters first, sitting down at a table - only a chair for him. Scott is dragged in and let go
[21:44] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok feigns a pained look and he follows after her.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the fort, then crosses her arms, leaning against a wall of a house
[21:44] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs, eyeing the building
06[21:45] * 01@Jennifer moves in with Cheryl, Cameron looks about, studying the place and it's makeup carefully as he goes.
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps in, peering around. Cole also moves in, eyeing the wall.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the room
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> NRP: Action that cole!
[21:45] <01@Kit> 6Chii moves in and off to a side, quiet.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> Now. You all have just entered this city, and already you've been marked as suspicious. Would someone care to explain the situation to me. 6* He eyes Chii. "You may speak now, if it is polite."
[21:46] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana remains quiet.
[21:46] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok comes to a stop behind Raq/X/Lil/Key. 1"The captains a good guy. He's just doing what he has to to protect his city and it's people."
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps his lips firmly shut, probably so her annoyance doesn't show in her voice
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <X> And I will do the same for my people
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves beside Chii, offering her a smile, as if thinking she needs cheering up
01[21:47] <01@Jennifer> "We were just passing by mister. We didn't mean to cause any trouble."
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> Do not lie to me, please.
[21:47] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> As long as they don't make him mad, they're shouldn't be any problems.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We were told that we aren't allowed to pass through. So we were stopping to get some food and rest before leaving again.
06[21:48] * 01@Jennifer blinks, looking up at him, since she wasn't lying.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> That is two lies. Because your companion says she is a ninja and she could go north if you wanted. You were discussing Janus and the monsters. You commented you wanted to go north as well. Do not give me a third lie
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> Now explain the situation to me. Please.
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We do want to go north. We're in search of a gem.
[21:49] <01Ariel> Iyana> "She's loud. And a ninja. Which doesn't make much sense. Since Ninjas are supposed to be all quiet and nin nin." *considers* "I think she's one of those flamboyant not-ninja ninjas, who likes to fight monsters."
01[21:49] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron very gently puts a hand on Iyana's head.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Captain eyes Iyana. "Please be quiet if it is not relevant."
[21:49] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes Iyana.
[21:50] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana frowns
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain eyes Chii. "Perhaps you will give the truth, since you have been open so far with your words. Explain to me."
[21:50] <01@Kit> <Chii> I don't lie, if that's what you mean.
06[21:50] * 01@Jennifer sighs and rubs her temple.
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> Then explain it to me. 6* For the first time, there's an edge to his tone, meaning he's done not getting answers
[21:51] <01@Kit> 6Chii peers at him in response. 1"But they're not really lying either. Do you want to ask something, or assume that we have some underlying purpose?"
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> And I have asked what I wanted. Very well. 6* He seems done with them
[21:52] <01@Kit> <Chii> And they told you. We're passing through. What we want is in the north.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> ... 6* He pauses in calling to the other Knights, then looks at Chii. "And what do you want in the north?"
[21:52] <01Ariel> Iyana> "A rock." *points at Kane* "He said so."
01[21:52] <01@Jennifer> "A crystal, a gem like he said."
[21:53] <01@Kit> 6Chii holds up one of her gauntlets, gesturing to the crystal set in its crest.
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Captain eyes them all. "And what purpose do you want this gem?"
[21:53] <01@Kit> <Chii> Something like this, although it isn't always obvious.
01[21:53] <01@Jennifer> "We collect them."
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Legend is that the gem grants strength. We seek it.
[21:53] <01@Kit> 6Chii puts the hand back on her hip, relaxing some. 1"I'm a summoner. They sometimes have something to do with that. Otherwise, we're finding them for safekeeping."
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight is quiet a moment. "Then I cannot let you go north."
[21:54] <01@Kit> <Chii> I'm going to save the 'whatever' and ask why, this time.
[21:54] <01Ariel> Iyana> "They want to make sure bad people don't take it for bad things." *nods sagely*
01[21:54] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Right, instead lock everyone in the south so this Janus character is free to get it."
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane crosses his arms, eyeing the Captain carefully.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Knight> It is the source of his power. Do you think me mad that I would hand it to strangers who threaten to beat my Knights? Who are suspicious?
[21:55] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok finishes his mug and tosses it to the side
01[21:55] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Think about it. We're sayign we want to beat your enemy."
[21:55] <01@Kit> <Chii> I won't have a damn thing to do with your knights once we get it.
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> He is justified. I agree with his logic.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> And then use it for yourself. You must think me a fool if you think I would do so
[21:55] <01@Kit> <Chii> We'll move on, until we solve the crisis that we are dealing with.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> True....guess saying we're good people won't matter?
[21:56] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> He cannot trust us. Not when we're as suspicious as we are.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> People that are strong of heart do not seek something so dangerous for more power. Once Janus thought the same thing, and now he thinks to save this world he must dominate and control it. Your intentions are not pure in my eyes. I will not let you go north.
[21:57] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana steps forward, "You need to let them go, Knight Captain. Or you'll close your eyes and the world will be gone."
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> This is a bummer.
[21:57] <01@Kit> <Chii> If it's not compatible with the summon spirits I don't give a damn about its power.
[21:58] <01@Kit> <Chii> Jen can use it to stave off that poison better or whatever.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> I will fight Janus and deal with the crystal. But I will not let another abuse it. Now if you all give me your word you will go south and never go north, then I will release you.
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps forward and uncrosses his arms. 1We're not from this world.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finally shos the first sign of movement, rubbing her face once
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* He eyes Kane now like he is mad
[21:59] <01@Kit> <Chii> If he didn't figure that much out he's not as bright as I thought.
01[21:59] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sighs and pulls out his hands from his pockets, gloves back on. "I think he needs proof Kane."
[21:59] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana rubs her head, muttering about out of towners.
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane holds out each hand and makes a crystal appear in them, then makes them go back inside of him. 1We're collecting these stones of power for our mission. Our mission to save not only this world, but all worlds. Because there are many.
[22:00] <01@Kit> <Chii> Don't bother. Anything we show him could just be explained simply with 'oh my god, they're one of the demon people' or something.
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> That's enough, Chii.
[22:00] <01@Kit> 6Chii peers upwards in annoyance. 1"Although technically I am a demon. But you know what I mean."
01[22:00] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sighs at Chii.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain stares at Kane now. He flicks a finger and suddenly Chii is hit by a ball of fire to her stomach that knocks the breath out of her - the attack so fast it would be impossible to follow
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> So. You are saying that you collect these crystals from other worlds.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks at that, moving to her side, concern overriding annoyance
01[22:01] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah..."
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stares down at Chii, then the Captain
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow, glancing over his shoulder. He then looks back to the Captain. 1Hmm. Yes. But it seems you may not need saving.
[22:01] <01@Kit> 6Chii staggers backwards, coughing breathlessly, her eyes wide in surprise. Something quick enough that even she didn't notice it is rare.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> I asked her to be polite. She did not.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> Many people in this world know magic. I have mastered the magic of fire.
[22:02] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana holds up her hands, "I'm polite!" 6She pauses, then adds, "But I really think you should let them go."
[22:02] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I would have done the same myself. 6He notes with a nod. 1But know that I am not lying. There is a...corruption of sorts out there. It feeds on worlds. It fed on mine and Cole's. His world was stronger than maybe even this, and even then they couldn't stop it.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs Chii's back, trying to get her breathing back to normal.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain considers this. "I personally intended to destroy the crystal once Janus was beaten so it could never be abused again."
[22:03] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> That is a bad idea.
[22:03] <01@Kit> <Chii> I wouldn't recommend that.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> It is?
01[22:03] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah... destroying it would probably end your world."
[22:03] <01@Kit> <Chii> Not instantaneously, but your world would be doomed in the long run.
[22:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane twitches slightly, but lets everyone else talk.
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Actually it would be instant.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Very instant. Breaking a crystal is fatal to a world.
[22:04] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...knight captain needs to take a course on geology."
[22:04] <01@Kit> <Chii> ... Oh, right." 6She finishes choking.
[22:04] <01@Kit> <Chii> Sorry, losing it is the slow method. Breaking is right away. Right.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> So if you take it, my world still dies. Slowly. How does that save anyone?
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We require the combined powers of the crystals to defeat the corruption. Afterwards, we return the crystals to where they belong.
[22:05] <01@Kit> <Chii> Which is not what the alternate group is offering.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> You ask me to place a lot of faith in you. Especially considering my reservations about some of you
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Captain peers at Chii with he last line
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I understand completely. If you deny us this, we will leave. But do not destroy the crystal. You will regret it.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> ... 6* He goes to talk when a bell begins to ring. He stiffens
01[22:06] <01@Jennifer> "I'm sorry we caused you trouble mister... what's that?"
[22:07] <01Ariel> Iyana> *waves a hand* "I can take it. I like rocks!" *pauses* "Once we all fail to perish from monsterous hordes at least."
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks around as a bell rings; outside, flying black demon monsters swoop in at the town
[22:07] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> That sound. The city is being attacked?
[22:07] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers around. 1"Shit."
[22:07] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...I think I know what that bell means."
01[22:07] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Feels like I'm home again."
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> Yes. 6* He moves to leave, forgetting them. If they wanted to go north, now would probably be the time
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches him go, then looks at the others
[22:07] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok reaches behind his back and pulls out two short staffs then twists them together to lock them into one long one
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Cheryl. 1We should help defend the city. To show we mean well.
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Unless you want to leave.
[22:08] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana tiptoes dramatically towards the north exit
06[22:08] * 01@Jennifer rubs her head a bit.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks up as one black monster swoops in and grabs a woman, ripping her in half
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. I guess we should help... 6* She sounds worried, but something in her tone says she'd regret it more if they didn't.
[22:08] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel lashes out with a ripple, trying to tear that monster in half.
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole smiles and runs outside quickly.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to leave; Scott offers Chii a hand
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls out his pistol and moves outside.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster is torn in half. His top half floats up
[22:09] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's eyes go wide at that and he looks over at the girls. 1"What sort of magic is that?"
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they exit the fort, they'd see dozens of monsters attacking the city; smashing in walls, landing on people and biting their flesh. The Knight Captain uses his flame magic on some of them, burning them away
06[22:09] * 01@Jennifer pulls out her gun and follows Kane. Cameron sighs a bit and looks about the room before heading out.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* X forms a holy arrow and shoots the top half and it falls over
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <X> Weapon magic
[22:10] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Handy.
[22:10] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles a little at the name, "I aim, you shoot?"
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl forms her whip, eyeing a monster fly in at her.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <X> Alright
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* X gets another holy arrow ready.
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes aim and starts firing at one attacking a person.
[22:10] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks up to spot the nearest monster, opening a ripple for X
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole breaks into a dash for the ones attacking the wall, firing his minigun at it.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster turns to eye Kane, flying at him. One rams into Cheryl, flying her along the ground
06[22:10] * 01@Jennifer joins Kane, complimenting his shots with her own.
[22:11] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rests on his staff, waiting for any monsters to get close to him and the girls
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* X fires through the ripple, nailing the beast. The monster slows with the combined fire from Kane/Jen
[22:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls an explosive disc and throws it forward, moving to push himself and Jen to the side while it explodes.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster explodes
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips at the monster's throat, so it rams her through a building
06[22:12] * 01@Jennifer oofs as she falls, she starts pulling herself back up.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott sticks with Chii, where it's safe
01[22:12] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron steps out and claps his hands together, attempting to catch one monster in a trap of ice.
[22:12] <01Ariel> Iyana> *looks around* "George? Where'd you go? George!" *starts to radiate energy, for those sensitive to it*
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* One monster comes in at X and Raquel from behind
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane helps her up, then moves forward, firing towards another.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain draws his sword, flames engulfing it. He slices through monsters with one strike
[22:12] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns and dashes at it, swinging the end of the staff straight for it's face
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster is hit by the staff.
06[22:13] * 01@Jennifer hops up thanks to his help and resumes attacking with Kane, firing with him.
[22:13] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel sets up another ripple for X, and jumping at the sound of the staff.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane and Jen would see a monster eating a child's head
[22:13] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> A little of your magic here. Please. 6He struggles as he tries to keep it back
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole leaps up and tries to land on one, to make it fly towards some of the others.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster grabs the staff and tries to break it
[22:13] <01Ariel> Iyana> "George! Get out here right now!"
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane narrows his eyes and starts firing towards it, pulling out a second pistol to start charging up a shot.
[22:13] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel raises a hand to fire a holy blast at the monster
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster is leapt on by Cole - it flies him into the bell
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* X fires through the ripple to hit one
06[22:13] * 01@Jennifer stares a moment before aiming at the monster's midsection and firing a shot.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster is hit and turns to eye Jen, brains dripping from it's mouth. It rushes at her
[22:14] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok twists his end of the staff off as he other hand grabs for another section under his cloak. He slides them together and swings it for it's head again
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls up the charged pistol to fire for it's eye. Charging with the opposite pistol now.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster is hit by the holy ray and then hit in the head. It falls over
[22:14] <01@Kit> <Chii> Huh. I expected more, really. This must be the flak
06[22:14] * 01@Jennifer hops back a few steps as she draws her sword in her other hand.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster is hit in the eye, howling in rage, swinging blindly at Jen
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is thrown out of the building by her Demon, who swoops in to smash her into the ground
[22:15] <01Ariel> 6* A crystaline claw materializes in thin air, swiping at the monster after Jen. Soon after, the rest of the dragon appears.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* In the background, monsters fly off with women and children, near Chii. Taking snacks home
[22:15] <01Ariel> Iyana> "About time George! You're slow! S-L-O-W!
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tries to fly his into the one attacking Cheryl, to cut it off.
[22:15] <01@Kit> 6Chii reaches back, then pulls out her fuuma, unfoding its four ends into the large over-sized shuriken it should be, then forms seals with her left hand. 1"Futon." 6She takes a step, twirls and hurtles it at the flying ones.
06[22:15] * 01@Jennifer slashes at it as it hits her, she stumbles back, the tact suit taking a large gash, she stares at the dragon.
[22:15] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok lets out a sigh of relief.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole's demon is still going for the bell
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tries to cut off one of it's wings with his katar.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster takes the slash with no problem. The demon monster claws at Jen's face
[22:16] <01@Kit> 6Chii runs along after her fuuma for whatever reason, directing its actual path with her hands, momentarily forgetting about Scott.
01[22:16] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes Cheryl's monster and presses his hands to the ground, stone fists bursting out to fly up at the monster.
[22:16] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel uses a ripple to try to intercept Cheryl's monster
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane aims for the side of it and fires another charged for for it.
[22:16] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel fires a holy bolt in said ripple
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster goes around the ripple, apparantly faster than the others.
06[22:16] * 01@Jennifer brings her sword up to guard, stumbling back as she loses her weapon, sliding along the ground.
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* It also missed ameron's attack
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii's attack hits the flyig ones - they drop their snacks
[22:17] <01Ariel> 6* The crystal dragon tries to take a large bite out of the monster, as Iyana yells directions that seem to be ignored.
[22:17] <01@Kit> 6Chii moves to catch them one at a time, probably why she was following, directing the fuuma to fly off after another.
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster side steps again and lets it fly at Cheryl, since he was back on course with her
[22:17] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok steps back from the downed beast and continues to look around.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet, twisting her body
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> <X> That one seems different, Spirit.
[22:18] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at X then looks around, eyeing it
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole would make himself electric if the wing cutting didn't work.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* The crystal dragon eats a whole demon. A normal one
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wing would cut off, so it plummets for the building side in a free fall
06[22:19] * 01@Jennifer pulls out her other gun as she scrambles up, panting, looking like she's in a torn up dress, charging both gums, she stares as her attacker gets eaten. "...Always a bigger fish..."
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ...oh damnit.
[22:19] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> One of the higher up ones.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii saves the people. The demons that were hit fly in at chii now, from all sides
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to use her whip, but apparantly energy means nothing to it. It grabs the whip, pulls Cheryl in and bites her neck/shoulder area
[22:20] <01Ariel> Raquel> "... it's fast."
[22:20] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And it's got your friend.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> <X> ... too fast. Way too fast. 6* the Knight Captain is elsewhere saving people
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane grits his teeth and moves quickly towards Cheryl.
[22:21] <01Ariel> Raquel> "X. Open a ripple to it's right side."
04[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sadly, Jen was seeing things, as another monster was eaten. In response to this assumption, her demon hits Jennifer's shoulder and magkes her wound worse
[22:21] <01@Kit> 6Chii adjusts her hands and brings in the fuuma for ones around her rear and right side, waiting until the last moment to draw her swors in both hands and react instinctively to slice and leap.
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole and his demon would plummet into the side of a building.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Her swords cut the demons, but don't do overly major damage. the Demons jerk back
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* X does so
06[22:22] * 01@Jennifer goes falling back, crying out in pain and holding her shoulder.
[22:22] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple to the other side, and then fires a holy beam into X's. If it dodges away, the beam will fly through the second ripple to come at it from the front.
[22:23] <01@Kit> 6Chii dashes to make a little distance, then toses both in the air, forming seals. 1"...Raiton. Merge art." 6She catches her blades, enlightening their edges with electricity, then sprints back in to rapidly dice at one of the cut ones who recoiled.
04[22:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane slides to a halt and peers between them, frowning. He fires shots towards the one attacking Jennifer with both pistols.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* The demon shifts to dodge, still holding Cheryl in it's teeth. It twists to let her take some of the blow, too, but falls over
[22:24] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok whistles then grimaces and he starts moving for it
[22:24] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel frowns at how smart it is, then shifts her ripple so she can stab the demon with her blade now that it's fallen
06[22:24] * 01@Jennifer holds her shoulder, whimpering as she drops the gun in that hand, she struggles to get up.
[22:25] <01Ariel> 6* The crystal dragon roars like a poor godzilla knock off, then proceeds to try to rampage and chomp any monster it can get it's hands on
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The demon howls. The monster fighitng Jen eyes Kane
[22:25] <01Ariel> Iyana> "No! Don't do that! Bad George! Kill better not angrier!"
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The demons are hit by the electricity - unlike the higher demon, it seems to hurt them and they melt
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane motions towards himself, firing shots with his left pistol while charging up another shot.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* The demon slides down the side of said building like icky goo
06[22:26] * 01@Jennifer pulls herself up, lifting her favored gun up, aiming at the back of the demon's head as it turns on Kane and fires a charged shot.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monster stiffens, then dies in front of Jen
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* The monsters begin to aovid George. Apparantly they're all smart to somedegree
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* The higher demon grabs Raquel's arm through the ripple she made and yanks at her
[22:27] <01@Kit> 6Chii sheathes her blades and pulls out her guns, aiming for lessers that are still left and unloading bullets into them.
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole steps out the front door of the building, eating a piece of old bread. He approaches the others.
06[22:27] * 01@Jennifer drops the gun and pulls out medical supplies, giving herself a nanite injection and some pain killers, throwing on a quick bandage, wincing in pain, trying to hide it as she stands.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii would feel in the bond Cheryl's life force suddenly taking a nose dive; The higher demon keeps his teeth in her neck
[22:27] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel cries out, trying to hit the demon with a holy blast from the grabbed arm. Not wanting to get pulled through.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* It lets go of Raquel, then fires a blast of fire through it. X pulls Raquel back
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane turns and dashes towards the higher demon with Cheryl.
[22:28] <01@Kit> 6Chii pauses, then jerks around and makes a break for it, having been somewhat oblivious since chasing the preyed people.
[22:28] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel closes the ripple after she's free, taking a moment to catch her breath.
[22:28] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slides to the side of the higher demon and swings his staff for it's eye
01[22:28] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron turns towards the higher demon, moving after it as well, he pulls out his notebook.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks pale, reaching around her armor for something
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> <X> I don't like demons
[22:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane fires a few shots for it's back as he approaches, to get it's attention.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* It flies straight up to avoid Dahok, dragging Cheryl with it.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* And to avoid the shots
[22:29] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That's bad.
[22:29] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana sighs at the uncooperative not-really-a-dragon. She pulls her bow, and pulls a crystal arrow from the air. Aiming, and firing at the demon that's grabbed Cheryl.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott takes aim with a device and fires a sniper like rifle at the demon. It twists to avoid, slower now from Raquel's attack, and is hit in the wing
01[22:30] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron goes to his knees and starts drawing a complex circle.
[22:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls out a metal wire and attaches it to the side of his pistol, firing it up towards the leet demon, trying to snag it's leg.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Then it's hit by Iyana, not fast enough to dodge both. It drops with Cheryl
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane would snag it, though it's falling
[22:30] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel sees Cheryl drop, and opens a ripple to get her to the ground.
[22:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and frowns, tensing.
[22:31] <01@Kit> 6Chii peers up, then holds out her hand, catching her fuuma. She folds it an puts it away, then yanks out something like silly putty, smearing it on a kunai in her other hand, then eyes upward for a moment, then flings it up at the demon, along its bottom half as it falls, she runs forward hoping to catch or retrieve.
[22:31] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana cheers. She hit something. She's happy.
01[22:31] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron puts his hands on the circle and summons a storm above them, intending to make flying conditions really shitty.
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane detaches the wire and steps back.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's hit by it, but then part of it falls through the ripple that was meant for cheryl; on the other side, the head, neck, and upper body make it through. It lets cheryl go to scream
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The remaining part of it hits the ground near the others
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The demon oozes smelling black blood
[22:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and glances down, then drops the bread. 1Gross.
[22:32] <01@Kit> 6Chii forms a seal-- exploding the kunai on the lower half, probably for kicks at this point. She moves to grab Cheryl before she bounces.
06[22:32] * 01@Jennifer holsters her second gun and recovers her sword before running to join the others, her bandage bleeding through already.
04[22:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane quickly moves over to Cheryl, kneeling. 1Jennifer.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The lower half is exploded before it can find the upper half
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's neck is gushing blood, an artery hit. She makes a face
[22:33] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok follows after Kane.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott hurries over, looking worried. He kneels near Cheryl
[22:33] <01@Kit> 6Chii twitches some, then puts her hands over the gash, pressing.
01[22:33] <01@Jennifer> "Coming!" *she moves over, practically sliding the last few feet as she pulls out her medical things, she frowns and pulsl out nanites, working on Cheryl's artery first, getting it closed and bandaged up*
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> At least when you get injured, you do it right. 6He breathes, pulling out a rag and handing it to Chii.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah think...vampire demon...can't feel much of my body now
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* the arterty doesn't seem to want to close, some type of demon wound
[22:34] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She's losing a lot of blood.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight of Fire finishes off the remaining monsters
01[22:34] <01@Jennifer> "This is bad... it's like my shoulder wound."
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Someone get the Captain. We need a medic that can heal this.
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane starts forming crystals, handing them to Cheryl. 1Take these. Just incase.
01[22:34] <01@Jennifer> "Y-yeah, give her some crystals. It might help."
[22:34] <01@Kit> <Chii> Seems like my sort of thing. Like wounds I cause with my blood.
[22:35] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We've got magic that can heal it.
[22:35] <01@Kit> 6Chii brings up her free hand and bite at her thumb, opening a cut, then brings her hand up, putting that hand on Cheryl's neck instead, mixing her blood with it.
[22:35] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana wanders over to see what's going on. "George" disappears when no one is looking.
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to move her hand, but her arm doesn't respond
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Is your blood safe, then?
01[22:36] <01@Jennifer> "Could be soem kind of paralytic poison... keeps the victim still so they can feed."
[22:36] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Crazy girl, you know any healing magic? 6He looks at Iyana
[22:36] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana shakes her head, "I don't know magic."
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* The head of the demon begins regrow it's lower half in the background
[22:36] <01@Kit> <Chii> My blood's fine. It really only does that if I infuse it with some of my spirit energy. I'm dark affinity.
06[22:36] * 01@Jennifer tries to run a scan over her with her datapad. Wincing a bit as she moves, ignoring her own wound as she works.
[22:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes it, then reaches out to electrify it.
[22:37] <01@Kit> <Chii> But do something about the demon. I'm sure it regenerates like me, too.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* It has no effect on the higher demon
[22:37] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel fires three holy blasts on it, since she's still there.
01[22:37] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron gets up, eyeing the demon, he walks over and snaps his fingers, summoning fire over it.
[22:37] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Well that's all I can do. 6He moves to find the captain.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* It burns.
[22:37] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Great. I'm not very good at this stuff...6He sighs and moves to stand behind her head. He kneels down and puts two fingers on her forehead as he closes his eyes.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* And is blasted. It dies.
[22:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane places them in her hand if she's too weak to take them
[22:37] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...it's official. I do NOT like demons..."
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heh...not like...not bitten you before... 6* She jokes.
[22:37] <01@Kit> <Chii> Cherry, you okay?
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* X crosses her arms, watching
01[22:38] <01@Jennifer> "Seriously, we should get someone with the right magic, being a vampire sucks."
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain is takling to some Knights
[22:38] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's hand glows a pale green briefly and he opens his eyes. 1"Is it better?"
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks dazed, peering at Chii. Ironically the bond seems stronger again
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Think...so...harder to...speak..
06[22:38] * 01@Jennifer looks over Dahok's work.
[22:39] <01@Kit> <Chii> If you need to, take some of my energy. I've grown, right? I can stand on my own.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* She seems to be having a reaction more to the mixing of two demon blood
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Hey uh...captain guy. We helped you fight off those demon monsters, right? Well our boss got bit by one. Could you get a medic to look her over and fix her and all that?
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Captain eyes Cole, then orders a Knight with a + on his shoulder to follow ihm
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole gives a nod and thanks and moves back towards Cheryl.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* In any event, the blood loss has stopped. Via magic or blood
[22:40] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok lets out a huff of air and he stands up.
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes now
06[22:40] * 01@Jennifer sighs in relief. "You'll be fine... just hold on Cheryl..."
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Doesn't look like we'll be leaving now after all. 6He notes.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* The medic moves up, checking on what Dahok did magic wise, then her neck. "She got some of the demon's blood in her from a bite, right?"
01[22:41] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah."
[22:41] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And she's lost a lot too.
06[22:41] * 01@Jennifer nods, looking a little dazed.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* He mumbles, a frown
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> And some demon blood from her. 6He motions to Chii.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott watches, for once looking concerned.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* The medic eyes Chii. "What sort of demon are you? A fox one?"
01[22:41] <01@Jennifer> "That she is..."
[22:41] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...Yeah, how'd you know?
[22:41] <01@Kit> 6Chii flicks her tail, blinking.
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You smell like a fox. 6He nods.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Medic> Well, I'd assume you were a fox girl, but he said you were a demon
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* He frowns. "I can't say what the result will be mixing another demon's blood with the previous. This blood is meant to weaken the person and possiblely make them a demon, too, if they survive it."
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane makes a face, glancing up to the sky slightly.
01[22:43] <01@Jennifer> "Sounds like a vampire..."
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* He places a hand to her chest. "I'll use some healing spells to get her blood level back up, but she'll need rest."
[22:43] <01@Kit> <Chii> When I mix my spirit with mine it becomes parasitic, sort of. So I figured two parasitic types would fight each other off. I'm bonded with her, so mine should win. Hrmph.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <Medic> Or make her a fox demon
01[22:43] <01@Jennifer> "He... wounds from claws aren't cursed too right?"
[22:43] <01@Kit> <Chii> Eh, I've never turned anyone into a fox.
[22:43] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rests the staff across his shoulders, his arms draped across it. 1"You mean she's going to grow a tail and ears?
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <Medic> They carry infections that will weakn your body, too
01[22:43] <01@Jennifer> "Oh... I probably need some help then..."
06[22:43] * 01@Jennifer sits back, holding her shoulder.
[22:44] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...is it just me... or...would that be uncharacteristically cute for her?"
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> <Medic> A lot of others are ill, and my magic will be sapped with her
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Raquel oddly, then at Cheryl
01[22:44] <01@Jennifer> "Then deal with me later... I gave it some of my medicine."
[22:44] <01@Kit> <Chii> She'd kick my ass. But that's not an attribute of my blood.
06[22:44] * 01@Jennifer slumps forward, closing her eyes.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> <Medic> What I mean it's an attribute of the other demon's blood, so if yours has an effect on it, that may happen
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his face and stands up. 1Where can we get some rooms? The Tavern?
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> <X> She would cut the tail off I think
[22:46] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Wouldn't that be painful?
[22:46] <01Ariel> Raquel> "As a demon... wouldn't it grow back?"
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain moves over. "Yes, but I'd like to speak with you all." 6* He motions to the fort. "She'll be in good hands."
[22:46] <01@Kit> <Chii> Weird. Mine usually just devours others to make me stronger. Strong demons you have in this realm.
[22:46] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel gestures to the head they had to rekill
[22:46] <01@Kit> 6Chii's fingers quiver. 1"...Kind of exciting."
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to the Captain and then nods slightly. 1Very well.
06[22:46] * 01@Jennifer yawns and looks up at the Captain. "Okay..."
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* He moves off.
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Chii. 1If you want to stay with her, I understand. 6He moves after the Captain.
01[22:47] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron stands next to his alchemy circle, it continues to burn bright.
[22:47] <01@Kit> <Chii> <Cherry. Can you hear me again?>
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Yes.>
06[22:47] * 01@Jennifer pulls herself up and stumbles after Kane.
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole shifts slightly, then moves after them.
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane helps support her.
[22:48] <01@Kit> <Chii> <It felt like you might... If you want to leave as soon as possible, I understand.>
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stays with Cheryl and Chii; X moves for the fort
[22:48] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves after X, Kane and Jen.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <mmmm. Got to...stand our ground sometime...right?>
06[22:48] * 01@Jennifer smiles a bit as she moves along with Kane. "I was a little slow there..."
[22:48] <01@Kit> <Chii> <I'm not sure about making you a fox, but hey, if what he says is true, you might gain an attribute that I have you could use.>
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain moves to a room with a map.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <...huh? Fox..?>
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once, then steps in to the room with the Captain.
[22:49] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana eagerly follows the Captain. Raquel is more hesitant to follow around.
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves in and glances around.
[22:49] <01@Kit> <Chii> <He said that demon blood might mix with mine and make you a fox spirit. Heheh.>
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain points at the top of the map. "This entire land is under Janus' control. His castle is here." 6* He points to the far north, where a tower is drawn
06[22:49] * 01@Jennifer looks at the map, straightening herself up a bit, wincing visible as she does.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <....!?>
[22:50] <01Ariel> Iyana> "It's stereotypically evil looking." *nods*
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> The entire land from here. 6He points to the city, to the tower. 1Is that filled with monsters?
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> It's situated on a funnel of magic power. If you all want a chance to beat him, you need to learn magic. Perhaps ask any of the remaining summon spirits for aid. And yes, it is
01[22:51] <01@Jennifer> "Learn magic? For reals?"
[22:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmmms quietly, glancing off to the side.
[22:51] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's not that hard.
[22:51] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana pouts. "Magic is so unpredictable."
[22:51] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Did you just say for reals? Wow.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* He points at a lake to the far right. "This is where you can gain a summon spirit if there is any. As for learning magic, well, you might can find some people who can teach you. It will be painful if you want to learn it fast, and if you're from another world, it might not work
06[22:51] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks at Cole. "...Yeah?"
01[22:52] <01@Jennifer> "Well, pain I can do..."
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I doubt I could learn. I'm not human.
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If it would help, we should at least try.
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* He points at three towns. "These are all under Janus' control, but you might can hide in them and ask the people there for info. We've sent agents there."
[22:52] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans down now, eyeing one of the towns.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> I also heard of a sword that might have the properties needed to cancel out the crystla. my people were looking for it last. 6* He points at some mountain areas to the left area
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> That's quite a bit to take in all at once. May I ask what you plan to focus on?
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> Right now we're still gathering forces to press forward into Janus' land.
[22:53] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Oooh... legendary holy sword of legend." *ponders* "...I wonder which one."
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You will plan for us to fail, I would assume. Just so that you're not relying on strangers.
01[22:54] <01@Jennifer> "Smart idea."
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> Yes, I'm giving you a shot to settle it yourselves, but I will continue to gather forces here. It's up to you how to want to proceed to beat Janus
[22:55] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think we should head to this city first. 6He points at one of them.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Knight Captain peers at Kane. "But I will give you a copy of the map in the morning."
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods slightly and pulls out his datapad to take an image of the map. 1No need. I have it. 6He shows the man, then marks the spots.
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. Why? 6He asks Dahok.
01[22:55] <01@Jennifer> "We should probably check out that lake soon as everyone's able."
[22:56] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I've got family there.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Captain stares at the device
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <X> Then you should head to the city first. Perhaps we'll meet you later
[22:56] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses then eyes the device also
[22:56] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Ooh... is it a box with imps?"
06[22:56] * 01@Jennifer pulls out her datapad and snaps an image of the map herself, putting it away.
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pockets it and peers at Dahok. 1For now we'll let Cheryl rest and I'll confer with her on what she'd like to do. But I can't promise we'll help your city.
01[22:56] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah, they draw really really fast."
[22:57] <01Ariel> Iyana> "I want one!" *jumps happily*
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stares Cheryl, who looks KOed, though in Chii's head, Cheryl's freaking out at the idea of becoming a fox, too. It's one thing to fuck one, but to be one?
[22:57] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> No way I can make it there alone. And it's not the city I care about it's someone thats in it
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I understand, and you have my sympathies. But I can't make that decision, I'm sorry.
[22:57] <01@Kit> <Chii> <Jeez, SO SORRY we're so disgusting, hrmph. I don't think you will at all. I think if anything you'll just gain some of my spiritual parasite nature. It could make you stronger with every demonic sort of thing you fight.>
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <You're not disgusting. I like your tail and ears. I just don't want tails and ears. then everyone will be trying to pet me. And I'd kill them.>
[22:58] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I get it. 6He nods to Kane.
[22:58] <01@Kit> <Chii> <That'd be hilarious.>
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Fuck you.>
[22:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to the Captain and nows. 1Thank you. Is it safe to assume that the Tavern is where we would get a place to stay?
[22:58] <01@Kit> <Chii> <Hey, I picture when Lemon sees you.>
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <Knight Captain> Yes, I've told them to set a side a few rooms for you
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <Cheyl> <........>
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Good luck with your preparations. 6He bows slightly and then turns to leave.
[22:59] <01@Kit> <Chii> <She goes totally domme in bed with the ears, too.>
01[22:59] <01@Jennifer> "Cool... I could use a nap..." *she yawns* "Thanks for the chance sir." *she moves after Kane*
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <I'll beat your ass. As soon as I can move, I will beat. your. Ass.>
[23:00] <01@Kit> <Chii> <Oo la la.>
[23:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pats Dahok on the shoulder as he moves to walk out with the others.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The medic finishes, then talks to Chii. "She should heal slowly and be able to move by night, though try to keep her in the bed. In the morning we'll see if there were any ill effects from the bite."
[23:01] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok runs his hand through his hair and he steps out after the others
[23:01] <01@Kit> <Chii> <Just call me if something comes up, Cherry. I'll come running, otherwise don't move. I'm going to see what the others are chatting about.> 6She nods to the medic, then turns to go.
[23:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves towards the Medic and C/C/S 1Is it safe to move her?
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <Medic> ... 6* He eyes Cheryl left on the street
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <Medic> Yes.
01[23:02] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron dispels his circle and joins the others.
[23:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods and kneels to lift her up. 1Luckily our kindness paid off. 6He notes to Cheryl, despite her not able to reply to him. 6He moves towards the Tavern.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes curses at Chii for leaving her
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Wait, am I moving? Who's moving me?>
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott gets to his feet as well
[23:02] <01@Kit> <Chii> <Kane, of course. He's got to get his Lemon fix.>
[23:02] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> So uh. I want a sweet legendary sword. Who's with me?
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <I think he's touchingm y ass
06[23:02] * 01@Jennifer moves along with Kane. "Let's get her into a bed asap."
[23:02] <01@Kit> <Chii> <Want me to kill him?> "Hey, so... what's the plan?"
[23:02] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I hear it's guarded by a giant poisonous snake.
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <X> He didn't say it was
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Mmmm, actually, it feels kinda nice.>
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Tonight we rest. Tomorrow we talk about the plan. 6He notes.
[23:03] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's probably worse then.
01[23:03] <01@Jennifer> "Mmm, well, there's some lake with summon spirits to teach us magic, a legendary sword to find and... yeah, morning." *she looks sheepish*
[23:04] <01@Kit> <Chii> S-Summon spirits?
[23:04] <01@Kit> 6Chii glares for some reason. <HEY!>
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moans mentally everytime Kane steps forward and bounces her some
[23:05] <01@Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes toward Kane. <... ... ...>
[23:05] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Considering Janus hasn't gotten a hold of it and all
01[23:05] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah, I don't think they're espers though, more like teachers or something."
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves into the tavern. 1I was told we could get rooms here.
[23:05] <01@Kit> <Chii> Doesn't mean one of them wasn't one of the scattered espers...
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I could fight a snake for a sword. Poison won't stop me.
[23:05] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What of it's 100 feet long?
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* The barkeep nods, laying out 6 keys
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Then that's 100 feet of snake I have to punch on?
04[23:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane motions for Jennifer to take the keys and moves for the stairs.
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mentally moans louder on each step
[23:06] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I guess I never thought of it that way.
06[23:06] * 01@Jennifer takes them and follows after Kane. "We'll see tomorrow."
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott sits at a table
[23:06] <01@Kit> <Chii> I'm going to the lake. You guys can go wherever you like, but my first stop is the lake.
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I once fought god. So I'm sure a snake is like, easy breezy.
[23:06] <01@Kit> 6Chii jerks, snarling for some reason.
[23:07] <01@Kit> <Chii> After I kill Kane!" 6She turns and runs off toward the tavern.
[23:07] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You fought a god? Huh. Fancy that.
[23:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves Cheryl to a room and lays her down on a bed, making sure she's comfortable, then glances to Jen. 1You should rest as well. Hand out the keys to those that need them.
[23:08] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes a seat across from Scott and waves some beer over.
06[23:08] * 01@Jennifer opens a room up for Kane so he can put Cheryl down.
[23:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sits down. 1A few really. I'm kind of a big deal.
01[23:09] <01@Jennifer> "Alright..." *she pouts almost childishly, despite her wound and hands out keys to those there, giving Kane the rest, keeping one for herself*
[23:09] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I tamed a wolf once. 6He notes as if's a big deal.
[23:10] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I'm putting the odd new girl in the same room as you. If she's still around. Be nice. 6He notes, then moves over to take a seat, watching over CHeryl until Chii gets back. He pulls out his datapad to preoccupy himself.
01[23:11] <01@Jennifer> "I'd have to be awake to be nice... I'm drained." *she smiles and moves to a room* "Wake me up if someone's injured or something... yeah..."
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl forces her eyes open
[23:11] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Go to sleep. 6He notes, peering over the datapad.
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> NRP: To cheryl. He let Jen go.
[23:12] <01Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So tell me more about yourself. 6He looks at Cole as he grabs a mug of ale
[23:12] <01@Kit> 6Chii glares at Cheryl from inches away.
06[23:12] * 01@Jennifer flops on a bed and passes out in the pillows.
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can't. <Heh heh>
[23:12] <01@Kit> <Chii> ... <I've only been back a couple days, if you cheat on me...>
01[23:12] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sits down in the bar area, drinking tea quietly, he works on a new page in his notebook.
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <You'll do what to me?> 6* She notes
[23:13] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Either way, you need to rest. And that means probably not having sex. 6He stands up and dusts himself off and steps out.
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be egging her own
[23:13] <01@Kit> <Chii> I'll beat your ass!
[23:13] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Nothing to tell. I'm a one-armed ass kicking machine.
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <I'd just like it> 6* She notes in a tone like Chii's
[23:13] <01Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans forward now to look. 1"Huh, never noticed.
[23:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps out and makes a face, rubbing it.
[23:15] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Not very observant, then.
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Kane from the side
[23:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances towards X and holds a key out towards her. 1Try to get some rest.
[23:16] <01@DeathStar> <X> You look like you need it more
[23:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* She takes it
[23:16] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I have work to do. Like always.
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> <X> If you die from lack of sleep and cause the deaths of others, then you'll regret it
[23:17] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes. I'm sure I will. 6He notes with a nod. 1Goodnight. 6He turns to move down the steps.
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> <X> .... 6* She just moves off to do her own thing, apparantly not taking Kane's advice if he doesn't take her's
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> -TBC-
[23:19] <01@Xanatos> HE HAD MORE KEYS TO HAND OUT DAMNIT!
06[23:19] * 01@Xanatos huffs and walks off.
