[20:00] <01@DeathStar> Reality Day 36
[20:00] <01@DeathStar> Location: City Tavern
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* A few hours after dawn now. The tavern is already filled with people eating adn drinking. X paces near the door, arms crossed
[20:01] <01Dias`> 6Dahok sits downstairs, an empty plate infront of him
01[20:01] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sits at a table over a plate of food and a fresh cup of tea, he watches X pace.
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott steps into the Tavern, adjusting his cloak.
06[20:02] * 01@Jennifer sits up and winces a bit, checking over her wound and putting on a fresh bandage.
06[20:03] * 01@Jennifer looks over to see if her roomie, the strange girl who doesn't have a dragon is still there with her, working on her wound as she does.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts down the stairs, rubbing her neck, which is bruised
[20:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane walks down the stairs, watching Cheryl as he does so.
[20:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole wits by Dahok, he's still eating.
[20:03] <01@Xanatos> NRP: sits*
01[20:04] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks over at Cheryl, tilting his head. "I'll say this, you're fast at recovery lass."
[20:04] <01@Kit> <Chii> I'll take some credit for that.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her eyes at Cameron. She sniffs the air once, rubbing her face.
[20:04] <01Dias`> <Dahok> You eat slow. 6He looks over at Cole
01[20:04] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Your blood is amazing, luv."
[20:05] <01@Kit> <Chii> Eh, she's a dragoon, I just have this amazing massage therapy.
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I like to taste my food, thank.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers up at Cheryl and Chii
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps past them now and moves over to the bar to get some cider.
06[20:05] * 01@Jennifer fixes her tact suit and changes it back to the dress, heading out of the room and making her way down the stairs.
[20:05] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Rule of thumb around here. Tasting your food isn't always a luxury.
[20:06] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Crappy place, then. 6He takes another bite.
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops at the bar, mumbling something to the bartender, then placing down some gold. She keeps her eyes squinted
[20:06] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Hard to argue that.
01[20:06] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks about at the others, taking a sip of his tea. Jennifer meanwhile heads to the bar as well.
[20:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances at her. 1You look like you should continue resting.
[20:07] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X, "...what's bugging you?"
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl adjusts her top, then at Kane. "Wasted enough time here. We're heading to this lake place first."
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Raquel. "Nothing."
06[20:08] * 01@Jennifer stretches a bit, moving her shoulder carefully. "Cool... when do we head out?"
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Of course. 6He nods.
[20:08] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel glances outside, "I... don't think I believe you."
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole finishes it and licks his plate clean, then sits back and pats his stomach.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* X says nothing to that
[20:09] <01Dias`> 6Dahok stretches backwards, shuddering a bit. He grabs his drink and downs it, sliding the mug away. 1"Even the plate..."
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know where it's at? I don't have a map.
01[20:09] <01@Jennifer> "We've got maps." *she sounds a bit chipper*
[20:09] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel gives her a small smile, and doesn't push her.
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes a moment to take a drink of cidar and then places the datapad in front of her, with the map pulled up.
[20:10] <01Ariel> Iyana> "They used imps!"
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at it, leaning back like an old person might to see.
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> What?
[20:10] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana smiles, holding a bottle of wine in one hand.
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes her silently.
06[20:10] * 01@Jennifer sits at the bar by Kane and Cheryl, adjusting the dress a bit. She looks between them.
[20:11] <01@Kit> <Chii> So you were serious...
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her tankard. "Yes. I was."
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Everyone eaten?
[20:11] <01Ariel> Iyana> *frowns* "Eating makes you fat."
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Iyana. Then Kane. "Who the fuck is that?"
01[20:11] <01@Jennifer> "Just got up... but I can eat a ration."
[20:12] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Nothing like a little cushion around the waistline. 6He pats his stomach
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We attract odd people, I've decided. 6He notes, then motions to Dahok sitting with Cole.
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great. Whatever. 6* She downs her tankard, apparantly her breakfast. "Lead the way, Kane."
06[20:12] * 01@Jennifer looks at Iyana. "She's... odd yeah, claims to have a friend that's not a dragon, which looks strangely like a dragon." *hops down from her seat*
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods and peers at the datapad, then pockets it and moves for the door.
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers up at them leaving. 1Not too much cushion though. 6He hops up and moves after them.
[20:13] <01Ariel> Iyana> *frowns* "But... he's not a dragon."
[20:13] <01Dias`> 6Dahok stands up and follows after Cole.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to follow Kane, sniffing the air once more.
06[20:13] * 01@Jennifer follows Kane. Cameron gets up, puts his tea cup away and heads after them as well.
01[20:13] <01@Jennifer> "You okay Cheryl?"
[20:13] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...That sniffing stuff is starting to make me wonder.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? I was sniffing the stale ale.
[20:14] <01@Kit> <Chii> Yeah.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves to step outside. Cheryl steps out and makes a face. <Cheryl> Better than unbathen bodies out here.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott quickly follows
[20:14] <01@Kit> 6Chii brings her hand up to her mouth and bites into her thumb, drawing her bloodied thumb near Cheryl's face. 1"And this?"
06[20:15] * 01@Jennifer stares, looking between the two.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks her head at Chii, the look like someone who smelled something nice. Then eyes the blood.
[20:15] <01@Kit> <Chii> So deshou ne.
06[20:15] * 01@Jennifer looks between them and goes a little pale.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The hell are you doing?
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances over his shoulder, then moves for the exit of town, moving north.
04[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Jennifer, then shifts so Jen is between her and Cheryl.
[20:16] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana edges away, mumbling something about vampires
[20:16] <01Dias`> 6Dahok makes a face at Chii biting her thumb.
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> She's weird.
01[20:16] <01@Jennifer> "Ano..."
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps following Kane, rubbing her neck now
[20:16] <01Ariel> Raquel> *shakes her head* "...this might have been a good reality to avoid."
[20:16] <01@Kit> 6Chii brings her finger up to her mouth and licks it, having healed over already.
[20:17] <01Dias`> <Dahok> You don't say.
06[20:17] * 01@Jennifer runs a hand through her hair and walks along with them, eyeing Cheryl every once in a while in concern.
01[20:17] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron peers about as they walk, adjusting his coat.
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott walks along, rubbing his chin. "I think we should avoid getting bit by Demons, at least."
[20:18] <01Dias`> <Dahok> You catch on fast.
[20:18] <01@Kit> 6A hand rests on X's shoulder.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* X peers back quickly
01[20:18] <01@Jennifer> "It's never a good thing."
[20:18] <01@Kit> 6Lilith tilts her head. 1"I smell blood."
06[20:18] * 01@Jennifer rubs her own neck.
[20:18] <01@Kit> 6Key leaps onto X's back, wrapping her arms over her shoulders.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* X stumbles once, shifting to support Key. "Chii bit herself."
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane veers eastward once they break the city limits, going northeast now. He's quiet like usual, though this time he's not even looking back to make conversation.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Once they reach the north gate, before them is nothing but a large fielded area as far as the eye can see.
[20:19] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Hm. Usually does not do that without a reason or in a fight. Where are we going?
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> <X> A lake.
06[20:20] * 01@Jennifer looks over at Kane quietly, frowning a bit. Cameron begins to hum a little tune.
[20:20] <01@Kit> <Lilith> A... lake? What for?
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> <X> I forgot.
[20:20] <01Dias`> <Dahok> To learn some magic.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers about the open area, frowning. "Well, no cover. Not good."
[20:20] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I'm going to learn how to fly.
[20:21] <01@Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes. 1"Magic is black arts."
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Is it?
[20:21] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Not really.
[20:21] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...I think our party is a little too varied to be picky. I mean... Chii is a demon, right?"
06[20:21] * 01@Jennifer looks about as they walk now a bit warily.
[20:21] <01@Kit> <Lilith> A demon, yes. But not the kind you are likely thinking of.
[20:22] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Maybe it's not the magic you're thinking of."
[20:22] <01@Kit> 6Lilith muses on that, then nods. 1"Perhaps."
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Isn't there a yin and yang to everything?
01[20:22] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "One man's magic is another man's science."
[20:22] <01Dias`> <Dahok> What's that?
[20:22] <01@Kit> <Chii> Well said, newbie.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers at Chii, then nods once.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> <X> Good and evil
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I'm science. I'm awesome.
[20:23] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Oh.
[20:23] <01@Kit> <Chii> Not everything's good and evil. There's shades of grey. I'm born of darkness, but I don't want to call myself evil. That'd mean everything I've done is...
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> <X> Light and dark
[20:23] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana whistles idly as she walks along, a skip in her step like they were going on a picnic
[20:24] <01@Kit> <Lilith> I am obedient to my master. I have done evil things, but I will not betray my master-- Does that make me noble or evil?
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Makes you a slave.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they walk, the plains begin to thin out, until soon it's mostly dirt.
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Though a cute one.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Cole slowly.
06[20:24] * 01@Jennifer moves along, closer to Cheryl now then before.
[20:24] <01@Kit> <Lilith> I chose this path of my own will. Are you not a slave to your programming?
[20:24] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks away as the conversation touches that subject
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers down, glancing around as they walk, looking for enemies.
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I don't have any programming.
[20:24] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I think everyones done bad things in there life.
[20:25] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Forgive me. Then you are not a slave.
[20:25] <01@Kit> <Lilith> You are defective.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl remains quiet, her eyes mostly closed, though her step never falters.
[20:25] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana giggles.
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You really don't get what a Reploid is, lady.
[20:25] <01@Kit> <Lilith> You are correct.
[20:25] <01Ariel> Iyana> *waves* I'm effective.
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> But if you say you choose. Then you're not a slave either. So we're both just awesome, instead.
[20:25] <01@Kit> <Lilith> It stands to reason you fail to understand what an inugami is, as well.
01[20:26] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "What is an inugami?"
[20:26] <01@Kit> <Lilith> A demon of justice." 6She eyes Cole. 1"...An awesome spirit of loyalty."
[20:26] <01Dias`> 6Dahok looks at the two as he walks, listening.
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ground rumbles a bit.
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole smiles and lets out a laugh. 1Nice.
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and peers around slowly. 1Dahok. What could cause this?
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops moving as well.
06[20:27] * 01@Jennifer stops and looks about too.
[20:27] <01@Kit> 6Chii growls slightly, gazing around, mostly toward the ground, her tail flickering.
01[20:27] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns and looks down at the ground.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stops moving. As they stop moving, the ground stops shaking
[20:27] <01Dias`> 6Dahok stops, frowning now as his hands go under his cloak. 1"No clue. I haven't been here in awhile now.
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tenses, peering around quietly.
[20:28] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana takes a few more steps, then turns to look back. Wondering why everyone stopped
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes things. "Is it a spell like in the forest?"
01[20:28] <01@Jennifer> "What's wrong Kane?"
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ground opens up under Iyana and a giant worm eats her
[20:28] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I...That's not good.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* X stares now, jaw dropped.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* It sinks back under
[20:28] <01@Kit> 6Lilith darts forward and lunges, her spear already in her hand-- and lashes out to skewer at its mouth as it sinks.
01[20:28] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks over in shock. "Bloody hell."
[20:28] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Something tells me running is a good idea.
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...6He pulls his pistol out and aims. 1We need to move, now.
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane begins to move forward.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lilith manages to impale the top part of it. It screams loudly
[20:29] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Cowardly creature, reveal yourself!
[20:29] <01@Kit> <Key> ...Centipede!
06[20:29] * 01@Jennifer nods, pulling out her gun, she heads after Kane. Cameron pulls out his gloved hands and starts moving after him too.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I doubt she's been digested yet.
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers around quickly. 1I'll let it eat me and save her.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Cole
[20:30] <01Dias`> 6Dahok looks over at Cole now. 1"Are you insane?
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* The creature spits up acid at Lilith
[20:30] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana freaks out at being swallowed, and attempts to stab the insides with a manifested blade
[20:30] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel pulls Lilith out of the way
[20:30] <01@Kit> 6Lilith ducks back, then eyes the acid hissing on her light armor.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* The creature sinks. As Iyana stabs, she unleashes more acid
[20:30] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I like to save people. 6He shrugs.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, this is familiar in a way.
[20:31] <01@Kit> <Chii> Fuck!
[20:31] <01@Kit> <Chii> I have an idea, though.
01[20:31] <01@Jennifer> "Like that reality with the... yeah..."
[20:31] <01Dias`> <Dahok> So insane. Got ya. 6He tenses slightly now as he peers at the ground around him
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sniffs the air. Rumbling follows Kane since he's moving
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That is?
[20:31] <01@Kit> 6Chii forms seals quickly, then eyes the ground. 1"It's in the earth-- so naturally, use the earth. Get ready to shiskabob it!"
[20:31] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana decides that was a bad idea, and decides to turn the sword into a bandaid for the hole so it'll stop leaking acid on her
[20:32] <01Dias`> <Dahok> It's following whoever moves.
[20:32] <01@Kit> <Key> Taste good?
06[20:32] * 01@Jennifer halts, as does Cameron.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stands back, hand on his sword
01[20:32] <01@Jennifer> "Kane, stop."
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane slows to a stop.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* It lunges up at Kane from below
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks to dive.
[20:32] <01@Kit> 6Lilith sprints forward and tries to impale it from the side again.
06[20:32] * 01@Jennifer fires at it with her gun.
04[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's impaled again, roaring. Jennifer's shots tear flesh out, spelling acid
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and starts dancing around. Seeing if he can attract it.
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane lands on the ground roughly and starts to pull himself up.
[20:33] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes Cole and starts to back away from him
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Cole now
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* As the creature roars, the crazy one would see her escape route out the mouth
[20:34] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I'll get her and teleport out. Good plan I know. I'm a genius. 6He beams, stamping his feet.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The creature turns to face Cole
[20:34] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana quickly tries to flee the beast's maw. But she's not crazy.
[20:34] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Doesn't look like it's going...Oh no, it found you
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* IT dives into the ground and rumbles at Cole
[20:34] <01@Kit> 6Lilith leaves her spear in, lunging upward with her hand back, forming the light gauntlets and screams. 1"Begone!" 6And slams her fist toward what she perceives as a head, the gauntlet reverberating if it hits.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* It manages to avoid Lilith barely, unless her attack can get it ni the ground
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Wait. She's not in it anymore? That defeats the purpose.
[20:35] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Ya might wanna keep moving.
[20:35] <01@Kit> 6Lilith makes a face as she explodes light against the ground, showering the nearby vicinity with falling dirt.
06[20:35] * 01@Jennifer charges her gun, keeping still.
[20:35] <01@Kit> <Chii> Okay, everyone, get it!
[20:35] <01Ariel> Iyana> *scrambles away* "Ick ick nasty wormy thing! Go find a cat!"
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* It turns to chase Lilith again, the explosion getting it's attention
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* IYana scrambles - into dirt
[20:35] <01@Kit> 6<Chii puts her hand to the ground. 1"Doton!" 6And tries to uproot the worm by shoving the earth upward where it is
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and points. 1I'm good.
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole starts to dance again, since the girl isn't out yet.
01[20:36] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "If we can get the girl out I can change the property of the ground."
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up as a giant worm the size of a semi-truck is flopped up into the air; it falls toward Cole
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and moves to dive away.
[20:36] <01Dias`> 6Dahok's eyes go wide and he begins backing up even more now
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face
[20:36] <01@Kit> 6Lilith moves in undaunted while Chii gawks. 1"It's fucking huge!"
[20:37] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...I hope that thing doesn't explode when it lands.
[20:37] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Hyaaa!" 6She slams her fist inward again.
06[20:37] * 01@Jennifer stares at it. "And I wasn't going to make giant worm comments to avoid jinxing us..."
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* IT barfs up Iyana when Lilith hits it
[20:37] <01@Kit> <Key> Lily, fight-oh!" 6She giggles from X's back.
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane quietly cleans his glasses as he watches them.
[20:37] <01@Kit> 6Lilith casually continues beating on it with her strengthened fists.
[20:37] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana gets the hell away from it now, trying to get the acid and worm juice off her in disgust
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm is bashed in, gushing acid out from the wounds Lilith inflicts.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think long range attacks would be best, Lilith
[20:38] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...Christ, doesn't anything deter that mutt?
[20:38] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel fires a holy bolt for the best she can make out for a head, now that the crazy girl is out
[20:38] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I'm sure an acid bath will.
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I don't think I would touch that liquid stuff. 6He lifts up his arm and turns it to a minigun, firing towards the slug worm thing.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Raquel's arrow pierces the head and it explodes in acidy goodness.
[20:38] <01@Kit> 6Lilith moves back slightly, wincing at some of the drops on her actual body, having not been bothered when it hit her light armor. 1"...I have no long range attacks.."
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks, trying to avoid the acid shower.
[20:39] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel winces, "...damn weakpoints."
[20:39] <01Dias`> 6Dahok twists his coak up infront of him as to block anything coming at him
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* X uses a ripple.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm shrivels up into a tiny, normal worm with no head
01[20:40] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Huh... Chimera."
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Chimera?
[20:40] <01Dias`> <Dahok> One of Janus' foul beasts
01[20:40] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "In my reality it's teh wrod we give to animals transmuted into beasts."
[20:40] <01@Kit> <Chii> Anything with that name is typically disgusting.
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I always thought a Chimera was a triple headed beast thing.
[20:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes himself to his feet. 1Everyone alright?
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <X> Is Chii a chimera, then?
[20:41] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...it's icky."
01[20:41] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "It could be, we just used that word."
06[20:41] * 01@Jennifer looks about, holstering her gun. "Yeah... but could we get out of here?"
[20:41] <01@Kit> 6Chii pauses, then slowly peers at X with a twitch, clearly starting to look pissed.
[20:41] <01Ariel> Raquel> "I always thought it was a creature with two seperate DNA sets..."
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Chii back.
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane gets his adjusted, then peers at his datapad, moving on again.
[20:42] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel ponders over this.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up a hand to stop Kane
[20:42] <01@Kit> <Lilith> If Chii were a chimera, then so would I.
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses to peer at Cheryl.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We don't know how many of those things are in the ground. If we keep walking, this process might repeat.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <X> I didn't say it was a bad thing. I only wanted a defintion.
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Do you suggest an alternative?
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dahok now.
01[20:43] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Mmm, I could change the ground."
[20:43] <01@Kit> <Lilith> I would define a chimera as an amalgous creature created from the traits and attributes of others unnaturally.
[20:43] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Well there's always flying magic.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And do you have that?
[20:43] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Nope.
[20:43] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Summon airship!"
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tilts his head. 1I could teleport us, but that'd drain me. Same goes for X and Raquel I bet.
[20:44] <01@Kit> 6Lilith pauses, then lifts herself off the ground. Key giggles and changes forms, gaining her wings and hovers upward with X.
[20:44] <01Ariel> Raquel> "We... do have a long ways left to go."
[20:44] <01@Kit> <Chii> Don't look at me. The floating shit I never learned from Freyja.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the flying people, then rubs her face.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* She begins to walk again
[20:44] <01Dias`> <Dahok> It's possible these things only stay near the gate to keep people from getting out here.
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> IF he were smart, he'd have them everywhere to leave less chances of people getting through
[20:45] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana pulls a paper airplane out from behind her back, and throws it down the path.
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> You have to consider the other towns, too, right? Have to keep them in
06[20:45] * 01@Jennifer mvoes along with Cheryl.
[20:45] <01Dias`> <Dahok> True.
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane begins to move again. So does Cole.
[20:45] <01Dias`> 6Dahok starts walking again
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* X walks along.
[20:46] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X and her companions, and continues on
01[20:46] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron moves along, sighing.
[20:46] <01@Kit> 6Lilith hovers slightly above the ground similar to Key, but the winged valkyrie seems to have more freedom of movement. Nontheless, Lilith snatches Raquel as she goes.
[20:47] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel eeps! Looking surprised as she's snatched up.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her neck. After an hour or two, things begin to get hotter and more barren. Cheryl finally stops moving
[20:48] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...this is... seeming like an odd place... to find a lake."
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott sips a bottle of water.
[20:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane slows to a stop, peering towards Cheryl. He takes his glasses off and cleans the sweat from them.
[20:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole huffs. 1I've got sand in my unmentionables.
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <X> Inside your mechanical parts?
[20:49] <01Dias`> 6Dahok's cloak hangs from his shoulder, wearing light leather armor under it with several short staffs strapped to his back.
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face, then eyes her hair, like she's debating cutting it really short.
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Maybe.
06[20:49] * 01@Jennifer stops as well, fixing her dress, wiping off sweat, Cameron looks about in his usual ignorance of the temperature.
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane wipes some sweat from his forehead, then checks his datapad to see how much furthur.
[20:50] <01@Kit> 6Chii huffs and pants, then finally reaches into a satchel and then gathers her hair up and ties it back with her old jade ribbon
[20:50] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana glances around, holding her parasol over one shoulder, keeping herself shaded. "...I want to find that lake soon."
[20:50] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Well hopefully we'll avoid any wind storms.
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Being a map he took a picture of, it's hard to say, but closer
06[20:51] * 01@Jennifer pulls out a small bottle of fresh water and takes a sip, swishing it around a little before looking to the others. "Anyone thirsty?"
[20:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and holsters the datapad, rubbing his face slowly.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches over for Chii's knives
[20:51] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I am!
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls a small flask out of his pocket and takes a draw from it, then pockets it again.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks around, then at Kane. "Is it possible the lake dried up?"
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. That's a possibility.
06[20:52] * 01@Jennifer holds out the bottle to cole.
01[20:52] <01@Jennifer> *Cole
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Though from what I can tell, we still haven't made it there, yet.
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole smiles and takes a big swig from it, making a ahh sound.
06[20:53] * 01@Jennifer giggles a bit. "Feel better?"
[20:53] <01@Kit> <Chii> Hey, what're you doing?
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just taking a knife. 6* She grabs it
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah, thanks. 6He hands it back to her.
[20:53] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Hey... Chii... you can't like, summon rainclouds. Can you...?"
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* X uses Lilith as a heat shield whenever she can
[20:53] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I didnt' expect it to be easy to get to this lake considering whats there.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott pockets his own bottle. "We shouldn't rest in this heat."
[20:55] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I'm ready to continue whenever everyone else is.
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts forward. "Lets keep going." 6* She notes, her tone lacking energy
[20:55] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Hey maybe one of you flying people should fly up real high and try to spot out the lake.
[20:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane begins to walk forward again.
[20:56] <01Dias`> 6Dahok glances at Cole. 1"You're full of ideas."
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> I just hope the enemy doesn't having flying scouts, too
06[20:56] * 01@Jennifer pockets the water after looking around at the others. She blinks and heads after Kane again. Cameron moves after them as well.
[20:56] <01@Kit> <Chii> I think Celsius would kick my ass if I summoned her for something like that.
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Ideas that people ignore. 6He notes with a sigh.
[20:56] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Speak louder.
[20:56] <01@Kit> <Chii> Undine might not mind... but if we run into an esper, I should save my mana for that.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bundles her blood hair together, eyeing the length as she moves
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> *Blonde
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole mimics Chii, then begins to move again.
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I think that would be a mistake.
06[20:57] * 01@Jennifer looks at Cheryl. "Maybe tie it up in a bun?"
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <X> Saving her mana?
[20:57] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Probably do, you saw what attacked the fort back there.
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Cheryl. 1Cutting hair because of how hot it may make you feel.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's distracting.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wind begins to pick up as the move, throwing up sand around them. Cheryl squints toward it
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and holds up a hand to shields his eyes.
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole squints as he glances aorund.
[20:58] <01@Kit> <Chii> What the hell-- why is it so hot and windy?
[20:58] <01@Kit> 6Chii grumbles, then reaches to grab Cheryl's hair.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a noise as she grabs it. "Hey."
[20:59] <01Dias`> <Dahok> To make it harder for people to cross. 6He puts his hand infront of his eyes
06[20:59] * 01@Jennifer holds a hand up over her eyes, looking away from the gust. Cameron grumbles and does the same.
[20:59] <01@Kit> 6Chii ties Cheryl's hair back with part of her ribbon, cut in half.
01[20:59] <01@Jennifer> "This guy really doesn't want people getting magic."
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wind kicks up to a full hurricane strength now, throwing sand into them with gusto.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott shifts his hood over his face
[20:59] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana lowers her parasol to try to shade her face... until the wind rips it out of her hands
[20:59] <01@Kit> <Chii> If it's a major weakness of yours, wouldn't you overcompensate?
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to a knee to support himself, covering his head.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* X uses a ripple to shield herself
[21:00] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to shield her and Lilith's faces at least with a small ripple
[21:00] <01Dias`> 6Dahok stumbles back until he regains his footing. He grabs his cloak and wraps it around his mouth, his hand infront of his eyes still
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole makes a face and tries to press forward, leaning as closing his eyes.
[21:00] <01@Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes. 1"Enough." 6She holds out her hand, then charges the air and creates a barrier from her electromagnetic powers, repelling the sand.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6 Cheryl makes faces, her strength sapping from the wind
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lilith's repellant doesn't work. Almost as if magic itself is at work here
01[21:01] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron claps his hands together and tries to create a current around them to repel and keep the wind down with alchemy.
[21:01] <01@Kit> 6Lilith pbbbs and spits out sand.
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* All the wind focuses on Cameron now, and knocks him far away out of sight. Cheryl turns to stare
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ....
[21:02] <01Ariel> Iyana> "......... wow." *stunned*
[21:02] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...Damn, I didn't want to, but if this keeps up maybe I should really summon help..
01[21:02] <01@Jennifer> "Whoa... this wind doesn't wanna be stopped..." *she looks in the direction he flew off*
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wind begins to shift to normal agani around them. Cheryl begins to run forward before it does
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* He flew off the way they came
[21:02] <01Dias`> 6Dahok squints and breaks off when he see's Cheryl running
[21:02] <01@Kit> <Chii> Cheryl!
06[21:02] * 01@Jennifer blinks and runs after Cheryl.
[21:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers forward and then breaks into a dash, sanding bouncing off of him from when he was rooted in.
[21:02] <01@Kit> 6Chii growls and takes off after her
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* X motions her ride ahead
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole squints and goes back the way they game to get Cameron.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Scott moves ahead.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wind begins to pick up around them again as they make ground
[21:03] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana hurries while she has a chance to do so.
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane slows down and kneels to 'turtle' again.
[21:03] <01@Kit> 6Lilith hrmphs and turns around, floating forward backwards to shield herself and Raquel.
01[21:04] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron picks himself up where he fell hard, dusting off his coat and wincing when he realizes he's broken something. He moves back towards the others.
[21:04] <01@Kit> 6Key complains vocally, shielding herself with her wings, but not X-- moving forward regardless
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cameron is unable to join the others, with the wind picking up. Only Cole is his friend now
[21:04] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel is still using a ripple in front of them to keep the sand out of their faces
[21:04] <01Dias`> 6Dahok starts to lower his stance as the wind picks up again
06[21:04] * 01@Jennifer follows Kane's example and 'turtles'.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wind picks up to full force and Cheryl is knocked onto her back. Ahead is a shadow of a person.
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane barely squints ahead. Slowly sliding his hand into his coat.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott kneels down.
[21:05] <01@Kit> 6Chii moves to try and catch Cheryl
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is caught by Chii
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves to Cameron and eyes him.
01[21:06] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks at Cole. "That backfired..."
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wind shifts and sand begins to pelt them harder, burying them slowly
[21:06] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Seems so 'mate'. 6He squints to glance over his shoulder.
[21:06] <01Dias`> 6Dahok steps back sligthly as it begins to pile up infront and on him
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around and frowns.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cehryl begins to cough up sand, then points ahead. "Something's there."
06[21:07] * 01@Jennifer winces, the wind battering her wound a little.
[21:07] <01@Kit> <Chii> Yeah... but getting there..
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Can't get a shot. The wind is too strong. 6He calls out.
01[21:07] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Can't seem to move on gov."
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to try to get her feet, straining to move, but making no ground
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah. Gotta rely on them.
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Raquel. "Ripples might work. If I open one behind him, you can fire an arrow into it."
[21:09] <01Dias`> 6Dahok starts to shift sideways to try and spread out the focus on the guy in hopes of weakening the wind slightly
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* A worm rises up in front of Dahok
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane charges up his pistol and nods to X, to show that he's ready.
[21:09] <01Dias`> 6Dahok leans back slightly and lets the wind drag him back enough to get distance
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> <X> ... is your pistol strong enough?
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm sinks into the ground again
[21:10] <01@Kit> <Key> Earthen affinity up one-hundred percent. Countermeasures ineffective. Please standby.
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I'll charge it up and set it to overloal.
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> NRP: overload*
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple behind the shadow
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane sets the pistol to overcharge and throws it for the ripple.
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* It enters and explodes behind the shadow. The wind dies.
[21:11] <01@Kit> <Key> Situation resolved.
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole throws Cameron over his shoulder and jogs forward after the others.
06[21:11] * 01@Jennifer falls over as the wind dies, from keeping herself braced. "Oof!"
[21:11] <01@Kit> 6Key giggles, then swiftly flies forward with X.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* A man stands there, wearing black robes.
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushses himself up, shaking sand off of himself as he mvoes forward quickly, pulling out an energy knife.
[21:11] <01Dias`> 6Dahok starts shaking sand off him
01[21:11] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Whoa! Well this is one form of travel."
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* He lifts a hand and chants. Sand walls rise in front of everyone
06[21:12] * 01@Jennifer pulls herself up, pulling out her gun.
[21:12] <01@Kit> 6Lilith lands and sets Raquel aside, shifting and them slams her gauntlet into the wall, reverberating with impact.
[21:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane slows to a stop, eyeing the wall.
[21:12] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes the sand wall.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The sand wall shatters. The man forms a new one
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet slowly, steadying herself
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* A worm chases Cole suddenly
[21:12] <01@Kit> <Chii> Cherry... when it drops, leap through.
[21:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane motions for LIlith to keep it up as he starts moving to the left.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine.
[21:13] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple to open behind the wall, firing a stun shot for where she saw the man last
[21:13] <01@Kit> <Lilith> No wall will hinder my friends or mistress! Begone!" 6She slams her other hand into the new one
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and glances over his shoulder. 1Oh damn.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens to the man - apparantly he has walls behind him, too
01[21:13] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks at the worm. "Keep running."
[21:13] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...clever."
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> No kidding!
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps forward as the wall breaks. She punches at the man, who turns int osand when she does
[21:13] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel shifts the ripple to above and fires down.
[21:13] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Open one above him!
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks as a shot comes in above her
[21:14] <01@Kit> 6Chii reaches out to put one of her gauntlets in the way, growling
01[21:14] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron claps his hands together and tries freezing the worm while Cole runs them onward.
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm keeps moving
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks about; there's no sign of the man now
[21:14] <01Ariel> Iyana> *holds out a glass* "Maybe if we offer him lemonjuice?"
01[21:14] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Blood hell... hmmm..."
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sand begins to wrap around Cheryl from underneath her and the man forms, holding her ni a headlock.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> <Man> Surrender or she dies.
[21:15] <01@Kit> <Chii> Who the fuck are you?
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and eyes the man.
06[21:15] * 01@Jennifer looks about carefully, she gasps and eyes the man capturing Cheryl.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth. Scott patiently strafes
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> <Man> I am a servant of Janus.
[21:15] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes the man now.
[21:15] <01@Kit> <Chii> Why?
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Question. Surrender what? Our lives? Or should we give up our mission?
[21:16] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana steps forward slowly, with her glass of lemon juice. Knowing enough to stop if it looks like it'll cause Cheryl to be hurt
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Man> You have similiarp ower like our master. Give us the crystals you have.
01[21:16] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron pulls out his notebook and tears out some pages, he touches them and drops them on the ground behind Cole, attempting to turn the ground into much more solid stone.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm hits the solid stone
[21:16] <01@Kit> <Chii> They're mine. You can't have them." 6She mumbles childishly.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flexes her left hand, then shifts behind her at the man's groin, grabbing it and twisting.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man howls and begins to deform into sand
[21:17] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana throws the lemon juice at the deforming man
[21:17] <01Dias`> 6Dahok winces at that
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man is hit by juice.
[21:18] <01@Kit> <Chii> Cameron! Glass him!
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* He stops mid-transformation
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns, eyes narrowed
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole drops Cameron on the sand to take deep breathes.
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves forward, activating the energy knife.
01[21:18] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron hits the ground and slaps his hand on it, attempting to turn the sand around the man to glass.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves in as well, holding his sword. The man shifts sand around, only to get glassed. Cheryl turns and smashes his face in with her foot.
[21:19] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...that looked ouchie."
[21:19] <01@Kit> <Chii> Hrmph.
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves for a stab for where the heart should be.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man gags as he's stabbed, his head crooked now. He dissolves into nothing
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pants, eyeing the blood on the sand now
06[21:19] * 01@Jennifer holds her gun up, not about to shoot with Kane and Cheryl so close. "...Did we win?"
[21:19] <01@Kit> <Chii> Bastard. Wrong hostage.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scot slows down
[21:20] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Janus is going to be pissed.
[21:20] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...with our luck, he was just a flunkie."
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...6He frowns and peers around at them. He deactivates the blade and puts it away. 1Are you alright?
01[21:20] <01@Jennifer> "You call that luck?"
01[21:20] <01@Jennifer> "If he's a flunky I'd hate to meet the big guns."
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head once, eyeing Kane. "Yeah. Lets go. Which way/"
[21:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane checks then points the direction out before moving on.
[21:21] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Jeeze you're fat. Lose some weight. 6He tells Cameron.
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to follow now. Scott sheathes his sword and moves along
[21:21] <01Dias`> 6Dahok starts following agai
[21:21] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana plucks a parasol out of thin air, to resume her peaceful wandering across the desert
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm rises behind Cameron slowly, angered at the wall move
06[21:22] * 01@Jennifer moves up to Cheryl and Kane and moves with them. Cameron rubs his head, looking a bit drained, he turns and snaps his fingers, shooting flame out at it.
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and peers up at the worm.
[21:22] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses a moment, then wanders over to walk with Lilith
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm is set on fire, spilling acid about at Cameron
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves to grab Cameron by the shirt and drag him away.
01[21:23] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron yowls in pain as it burns through his coat and into his arm, he stumbles back and changes it to stone then back to stop the burn. He then gets dragged.
01[21:23] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Bloody fuck that hurt."
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* After another hour, the team reaches a large lake, with trees around it, and some grass. A small cave is present on one shore.
[21:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around cautiously, looking for traps.
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts and kneels at the lake; she looks unusually pale right now. She sips the water with no care
[21:24] <01Dias`> 6Dahok moves to the lake and kneels down, splashing it over his face.
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes everyone. then plops down on his butt.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks around, then eyes th elake. "I see no magic."
[21:25] <01@Kit> 6Chii leans down and sniffs at the water, but Key just runs over and leaps in, squeeing. Lilith changes to malamute form and pants, but drinks at the shore.
[21:25] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Probably in the cave where it can hide.
06[21:25] * 01@Jennifer moves over to the lake and scoops up some water, using it to clean her wound as she changes her bandages.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott refills his bottle
[21:26] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You talks as if it's alive.
[21:26] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel flops down next to Lilith, glad to feel the humidity of the water
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl plants her face in the water now, letting it sink
01[21:26] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sits and sighs, working a cloth over his arm.
[21:26] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana wanders over to peek into the cave
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's dark.
[21:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head and watches Cheryl, before moving over and dapening a cloth to place on his forehead.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott seems to be timing how long Cheryl keeps submerged
[21:27] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...hellooooooooo?"
06[21:27] * 01@Jennifer looks over at Kane and Cheryl. She then eyes Cheryl with concern.
[21:27] <01Dias`> 6Dahok wipes his hands on the grass.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* An echo goes helloooooooooo
[21:28] <01Ariel> Iyana> "How are youuuuu?"
04[21:28] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> She doesn't require air. 6He reminds Jennifer.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* The cave asks the same question
01[21:28] <01@Jennifer> "Not what I'm worried about..." *she smiles weakly*
[21:28] <01@Kit> 6Chii shoves Cheryl from behind.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <X> Worried she'll drain your blood?
[21:28] <01Ariel> Iyana> *pouts* "I asked first."
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is shoved into the lake
[21:28] <01@Kit> 6Chii sits, smirking.
06[21:28] * 01@Jennifer looks over at X. "No."
[21:28] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes Chii then looks at Cheryl
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes Chii, and shakes his head slowly, he takes his glasses off.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sinks to the bottom out of sight
[21:29] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel considers forming a ripple to protect from splashage, but decides against it
[21:29] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I think she passed out.
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I hope she doesn't try to breath. She would drown then.
[21:30] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...Geez." 6She drops her gunbelts and powder/weapon satchels off and dives in
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii would see no sign of Cheryl once she dives in
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane seems satisfied with himself and pulls out the flask, taking another draw.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <X> You tricked her into diving in, didn't you?
06[21:31] * 01@Jennifer looks over at Kane curiously.
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It was only fair. She was the one that shoved Cheryl in.
06[21:31] * 01@Jennifer giggles.
[21:31] <01Dias`> 6Dahok runs his hand through his hair and he takes his cloak of, shaking it to get the rest of the sand out..
[21:32] <01Ariel> Raquel> *peers into the water*
[21:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane checks the time and then motions around. 1Take a break, we could all use the rest after that.
[21:32] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...Aren't you worried about both your friends?
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If they die over this. It would be very troublesome.
01[21:33] <01@Jennifer> "Mmm..."
[21:33] <01@Kit> 6Chii continues skimming about, frowning and squinting to see as she goes deeper.
[21:33] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Man they can hold there breath for a long time.
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole dozes quietly.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii would see the bottom, but it looks empty of Cheryls
[21:34] <01@Kit> 6Chii makes a face, then 'pings.'
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be underground now by quite a bit
01[21:35] <01@Jennifer> "Chii hasn't come up yet."
[21:35] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel steps over to poke Cole, "...h-hey."
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole snorts slightly and opens his eyes. 1Howdy.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the water, then Lilith, then shoves Lilith in
[21:35] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...you... you don't breath, right?"
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole takes in a breath of air, and then lets one out.
[21:36] <01@Kit> 6Chii gurgles slightly, then peers around, trying to find a cave or opening or something
[21:36] <01Dias`> 6Dahok pulls two short staffs off from his back and locks them together. He watches X curiously
[21:36] <01@Kit> 6Lilith yelps before sinking in
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be none.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* X peers in to see what Lilith does
[21:36] <01Ariel> Raquel> *frowns* "...Chii and Cheryl went into the water, and haven't come out."
[21:36] <01@Kit> 6Key stares, then shoves X.
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pushes himself up and smiles to Raquel, he then moves and dives in, swimming down.
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* X falls in
[21:37] <01@Kit> 6Chii finally makes a break for the surface. Lilith surfaces and dog paddles to the shore looking miserable.
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes them all and then sighs, he pushes himself to his feet and checks Cheryl's location via her crystals.
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* X follows Lilith, looking annoyed
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Underground. Deep.
[21:37] <01@Kit> 6Key giggles on the short, hitting her leg.
[21:37] <01@Kit> shore~
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and pushes himself to his feet, moving for the gave.
[21:38] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel turns to see people pushing each other in, and hurries over to check on her friends
06[21:38] * 01@Jennifer taps her foot and looks at Kane, following him.
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> NRP: cave.
01[21:38] <01@Jennifer> "What's up?"
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott gets up. "Problem?"
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole swims down to the bottom, peering around, he shrugs.
[21:38] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes Kane. 1"Where you goin?"
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Unless this lake goes very deep, it would seem Cheryl is under it.
01[21:39] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns and moves after Kane. "Cave might go under the lake then..."
[21:39] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Cave probably leads deep underground.
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at them as he moves into the cave, turning on a flashlight.
[21:39] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana summons a small ball of light, and proceeds into the cave to find the rude person that won't answer her questions
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* The cave slants downward at an angle
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves downward.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves along - after a bit, they hit a dead end - a wall of stone
[21:40] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...Wow, doesn't even tell anybody. 6He looks over at X and Lil and Key. 1"Apparently we're going into the cave.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks over, then rises, follownig Dahok
[21:40] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...you two okay?"
[21:40] <01Dias`> 6Dahok moves into the cave and heads down.
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head and places it hand on the wall, slowly going over it.
06[21:40] * 01@Jennifer steps after Kane, she blinks and looks at the wall. "Huh."
[21:40] <01@Kit> 6Chii breaks the water and swims to the shore looking pissed off.
[21:41] <01@Kit> <Chii> When the fuck did Cherry learn to teleport?
[21:41] <01Ariel> Iyana> *whispers* "...watch out for poofninjas."
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wall feels unnaturally smooth
01[21:41] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes it, frowning slightly. "Can you tell if there's anything behind here?"
[21:41] <01@Kit> 6Chii gathers her weapons and moves quickly toward the cave. 1"Is there a way down?"
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Obviously there is. It's a matter of finding out how to get past it. 6He looks around for a switch.
[21:42] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes the wall. 1"You could always knock."
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole surfaces and moves over to the shore, then hops up and follows people shaking the water off of him.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott looks around as well - there apperas to be no obvious switches.
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Go ahead.
[21:42] <01Dias`> 6Dahok reaches his staff out to tap the wall with it
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wall is tapped
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the wall once she arrives
[21:43] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> X. Can you see if your ripple will get past it?
[21:43] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I'm sure magic could open it.
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* X goes to open it, but the ripple appears inches from Kanes head
[21:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks slightly and frowns. 1Try your magic, then?
[21:43] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel waits behind to make sure Lilith is okay after the lake incident
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* X closes it.
[21:43] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Don't look at me, I'm horrible at magic.
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Well then.
01[21:44] <01@Jennifer> "In this group you're a genius at it."
[21:44] <01Ariel> Iyana> *knocks on the wall* "Um... open please?"
01[21:44] <01@Jennifer> "Since none of us have any."
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wall is knocked on
06[21:44] * 01@Jennifer peers at Iyana.
[21:44] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Iyana seems more intuned to it then me.
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his face slowly, looking annoyed.
[21:45] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana searches for a keyhole or latch, assuming this is a door
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* No sign of them
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> We could try brute force.
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Cameron. Try to use Alcehemy to slide the wall aside.
[21:46] <01@Kit> 6Lilith steps forward at 'force' and punches right into it.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wall is like steel, but a slight crack appears. The cave rumbles
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <X> .... 6* She looks about
01[21:46] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron peers at the wall and walks over to it, pulling out some chalk. He eyes the cave about him.
[21:46] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...please don't cave it in on our head."
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...6He twitches in annoyance.
[21:46] <01Dias`> 6Dahok peers around. 1"Something says to not force the door open
01[21:46] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "...We should probably play by the rules."
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Don't move the whole wall. Try to pull out a slab. A door of sorts.
[21:47] <01@Kit> 6Lilith hangs her head in shame.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* X pats Lilith
01[21:47] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Alrighty..." *he starts to draw a circle on the wall*
[21:47] <01Dias`> 6Dahok scratches the side of his face and his hand glows green slightly, the same cure magic he used last time on Cheryl and he presses his palm against the wall
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps back.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wall opens up
06[21:48] * 01@Jennifer fidgets a bit.
[21:48] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...you tried."
06[21:48] * 01@Jennifer looks about, then at Dahok. "...The rules, see?"
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* The cave leads downward again
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6He makes another face and walks forward.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dahok like he were an idiot. "Why not do that to begin with?"
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott rubs his nose, then follows Kane
06[21:48] * 01@Jennifer sticks with Kane and walks with him.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole wait why are we magicin up doors and stuff?
[21:48] <01Dias`> 6Dahok shrugs. 1"I didn't think healing magic would work." 6He shrugs helplessly
01[21:49] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "It probably just wanted a show of magic in general."
[21:49] <01Dias`> 6Dahok starts moving after the others again
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole rubs his head at that and moves on.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* After a bit, they come across devices in the walls of the cave, sending out lightning sparks along the walls and floors
[21:50] <01@Kit> <Chii> What the hell is this place?
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane slows to a stop and peers at the devices, watching the sparks closely.
[21:50] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Oooh... sparky."
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* IT seems to be impassible
[21:50] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I'd say it's testing whoever enters.
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Every secret item has a labrynth to reach it.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> You sound like you're knowledgable on the matter.
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It just seems to be the trend. 6he notes, kneels down and eyeing the devices quietly.
[21:51] <01Dias`> 6Dahok watches the sparks, looking for a pattern
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* They seem to be a rod in the wall, nothing special to them
06[21:51] * 01@Jennifer looks at them from behind Kane, tilting her head.
[21:51] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana inspects the devices, counting off innane things that wouldn't help.
[21:52] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...Looks like one of my games, really.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* And there is no pattern that is useable, they flicker too fast to go through
[21:52] <01Dias`> 6Dahok pulls out a gold coin and tosses it foreward.
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Silence. 6He tells Iyana as he stands up, then motions to Cole.
[21:52] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...what? I'm thinking?"
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* It sails through the air, but when it hits the ground where the sparks run through, it's zapped
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Quietly. Do it quietly.
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Why is he waving at me? I'd be killed if I went through there.
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <X> Aren't you lightning?
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I have limits.
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <X> Weakling.
[21:53] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Hmmm.
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Pfft. Grow up.
01[21:54] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron watches the lightning, hands in his pockets.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> <X> Get stronger.
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Why don't you get past it then?
06[21:54] * 01@Jennifer rocks on her heels.
[21:54] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I suppose nobody can jump all the way across.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> <X> Fine
[21:54] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana starts to slowly pull a metal javelin out of her sleeve
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* X shifts forward
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs at his temple and holds a hand out to X, shaking his head. 1Don't. You will be injured.
[21:54] <01Ariel> Raquel> *grabs X's arm* "...do you have a plan?"
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> <X> No
[21:55] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Hey Iyana, think you can drop that sucker so it crosses from one to the next?
[21:55] <01@Kit> <Lilith> My natural affinity is lightning as well.
[21:56] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes the paths, then upward, as if seeing if she could bank off the walls to get by.
[21:56] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana just grins, and tosses the metal spear, trying to get it to land on two of the devices.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Since the current runs up the walls, Chii can't.
[21:56] <01Ariel> Raquel> *looks to Lilith* "...you think EMP might work?"
[21:56] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If this doesn't work, Dahok I want you to throw Cole across.
[21:56] <01@Kit> <Key> ...No tasty.
[21:57] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes Kane then looks at Cole and laughs
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* The metal spear is repelled at Lilith by some force and a electricity zaps Iyana
[21:57] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Oww!" *jumps back* "Cheater!"
[21:57] <01@Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes and catches it before her face.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Scott jerks. X blinks
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...I don't think a Ripple will work either.
[21:58] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...w-wow. That's... picky."
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sighs and moves to step forward. 1This is going to be fun.
[21:58] <01@Kit> 6Lilith lowers the spear, then holds up a hand and snaps, setting off an EM pulse near one of the devices.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* The device flickers at the EMP, creating a short in the first current that makes a 5 second gap
01[21:59] <01@Jennifer> "Mmm... the doorway wanted magic to be shown, this probably wants the same thing in a different way."
[21:59] <01@Kit> <Chii> Ah, now there's a way through.
[21:59] <01@Kit> <Chii> Well, if you put it that way-- get back.
[21:59] <01@Kit> 6Chii brings of her hands and forms seals.
06[21:59] * 01@Jennifer blinks and gets back a bit.
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances at Chii and then takes a step back.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves back. X refuses
[21:59] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...Let me see if I can remember anything else. 6He steps back as he makes a face
01[21:59] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron backs up, watching her form seals.
[21:59] <01@Kit> <Chii> Suiton!" 6She creates water above the currents, letting it fall into their path.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lots of sparking begins to occur, going out of control
01[22:00] <01@Jennifer> "Overload huh?"
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane makes a face, shielding his eyes.
[22:00] <01@Kit> <Chii> Heheh. I love this sort of thing.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Was that a good idea?
[22:00] <01@Kit> 6Chii shrugs.
[22:00] <01@Kit> <Key> Fireworks!
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The devices explode, sending lightning flying at the team
[22:00] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Aww...crap.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott hits the deck
[22:00] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel hides behind a ripple.
[22:00] <01Dias`> 6Dahok tries to get out of the way but it's lightning
[22:00] <01@Kit> 6Lilith slams the metal spear she caught into the ground, charging it with an opposing polarity.
06[22:01] * 01@Jennifer drops down, Cameron does too.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* X falls over
[22:01] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana jumps back behind the rest of the team
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> 6*Cole steps forward to take the lightning if Lilith fails.
[22:01] <01@Kit> <Chii> Oh shi--
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* COle and Lilith manage to shield the others
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole lets out a breath and jerks slightly. 1Ooo
[22:01] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Might I suggest merely allowing me to short the others next time?
[22:01] <01@Kit> <Chii> ... ....Uh, ... yeah..
[22:02] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Or we could try more magic.
[22:02] <01@Kit> 6Chii sniffs indignantly. 1"That was more fun."
[22:02] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Is it... safe now?"
[22:02] <01Dias`> <Dahok> It was cool looking.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stands up, dusting himself off
[22:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane begins to move forward now, nodding his thanks to the two.
06[22:02] * 01@Jennifer gets up and winces, gasping a bit as she forgets herself a moment. Cameron gets up and dusts off his coat.
06[22:03] * 01@Jennifer shrugs it off and heads after Kane, nursing her shoulder.
[22:03] <01Dias`> 6Dahok follows after
[22:03] <01@Kit> 6Key runs forward, squeeing
[22:04] <01@Kit> 6Lilith sighs, checking on X and Raquel.
[22:04] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles neverously, giving Lilith the thumbs up
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole twitches his head again as he moves forward.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they move ahead, they come across a three way path. On the far left wall/path is a + sign and on the far right wall/path is a - sign. NOne for the middle path
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* X gets up slowly, rubbing her damaged shoulder
[22:04] <01@Kit> 6Key stares at the paths, then jumps energetically. 1"Positive! Always think positive!" 
[22:05] <01@Kit> 6Key then runs off on the left path.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Is that a good idea to let her go like that?
[22:05] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Probably not
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> No. It's not.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Do we follow?
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole steps up behind them.
[22:06] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...Well, I guess that leaves me as the negative one." 6She hrmphs and turns to go right.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stares, clearly dumbfounded at how they're splitting up
[22:07] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Hey Iyana, got any magic for this type of stuff?
06[22:07] * 01@Jennifer rubs the back of her head. "Opposing currents... cancel each other out, right?"
[22:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and moves towards the middle now.
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> I thought they repelled each other
[22:07] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Um... nope?"
[22:08] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Actually they attrack. The same polarity repels.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Right.
01[22:08] <01@Jennifer> "Oh..."
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott follows Kane
[22:08] <01@Kit> <Lilith> I knew Cole would shield me, so I used the opposite polarity to become a ground since he only contains one.
[22:08] <01Ariel> Raquel> "So... what do we do?"
01[22:08] <01@Jennifer> "So... yeah."
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <X> I don't know. Is Lightning made of positives or negatives?
[22:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole poses, then jerks again, still dispersing the lightning in his system.
[22:09] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I'd say split us up equally but...6He shrugs and follows after Kane since he's taking the brains
06[22:09] * 01@Jennifer looks at Raquel, then back at the four moving.
[22:09] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Traditionally positive.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <X> Positive it is
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* X goes left.
[22:09] <01@Kit> 6Lilith follows her.
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> "I'll follow Chii then." *she wonders what she's saying even as she does it*
06[22:10] * 01@Jennifer heads after Chii.
04[22:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and goes after Jennifer.
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> NRP: Er Cole*
[22:10] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel heads after Lilith and X, wanting to stick by them.
01[22:10] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns and heads along after Kane.
[22:10] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana, out of curiousity more than anything else, checks the middle path.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they all journey, they enter the same room, but at different points. A button is in front of each of them in their positions
[22:11] <01@Kit> <Chii> How anticlimatic.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* They appear to be on balconies. Below them is a deep cave.
[22:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at them, then the buttons, then the deep cave. He checks to see if Cheryl is close.
[22:11] <01Dias`> 6Dahok moves to the balcony and peers down, letting out a whistle
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* She's down there somewhere
[22:11] <01@Kit> <Chii> Altogether now. Three. Two.
[22:11] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...One." 6She reaches to push the button in front of her.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes her button, then at Kane.
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane presses his.
[22:12] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana presses her button because Chii said so
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens as the two press it
[22:12] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...I said all together..
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <X> I didn't get orders to push it from the defacto leader.
[22:13] <01@Kit> <Chii> WHY YOU LITTLE!
[22:13] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs and presses the button
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow as he glances to X and nods. 1Press with us.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* When Raquel pushes it, a ball of lgihtning appears on the + side
[22:14] <01@Kit> 6Chii twitches, but calms. 1"...Three. Two. ....One." 6She reaches for it again.
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hold on.
[22:14] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...er..."
[22:14] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes Kane, having pushed it.
[22:14] <01Dias`> 6Dahok peers over. 1"Cool."
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* It leaps to Chii's side as she pushe sit
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> 6Kane eyes the Ball of lightning carefully.
[22:14] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana presses the neutral button, not wanting to be left out
01[22:14] <01@Jennifer> "Huh..."
[22:14] <01@Kit> <Lilith> ...
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes her. 1Step back.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott stares at it arc over. As Iyana pushes it, the middle balcony is struck by the lightning
[22:15] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana falls over in pain.
01[22:15] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron rubs his chin. Then groans as he's shocked.
[22:15] <01Dias`> 6Dahok howls in pain(?)
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane lets out a grunt of pain and falls back.
[22:15] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Hm. I would suggest one on both sides, then the center.
01[22:15] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron falls over, crispy. "Bloody hell lass! You're frying us!"
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott plays dead
[22:16] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...o-owwie..."
[22:16] <01@Kit> 6Chii pushes her's again
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Lilith says this, the middle button sparks, sending lightning flying at Chii
[22:17] <01@Kit> 6Chii jerks backwards, drawing a sword and uppercut slicing with electricity. 1"Lightning Tiger Blade!"
[22:17] <01Dias`> 6Dahok groans as he grabs the balcony and pulls himself up
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane slowly pushes himself to his feet. Eyeing Iyana with an annoyed expression.
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* AFter a moment, the middle device beeps, having been charged up. The balcony begins to lower
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii meanwhile attacks things
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* X peers over.
[22:18] <01Dias`> 6Dahok peers around. 1"D-Does that mean we solved it?
01[22:18] <01@Jennifer> "For one group."
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple and lepas to the middle balcony
[22:19] <01@Kit> 6Chii leaps onto the balcony edge and leaps over to the middle one, landing in a crouch.
04[22:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole grabs Jennifer and leaps after Chii.
01[22:19] <01@Jennifer> "Eeeep!"
[22:19] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel heads through the ripple
[22:19] <01@Kit> 6Lilith follows X-- while Key floats down using her wings.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* The lightning follows Chii
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott looks up
[22:20] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...Uh oh.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* X closes the ripple. The middle balcony lowers into a cave, where a shrine is erected to a horse like creature. Cheryl is on the ground near it
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns, stepping back slightly, but he only has so far to go.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* It comes to a stop
[22:21] <01Dias`> 6Dahok quickly leaps off as to stay away from the lightning
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hops over the balcony to move over to Cheryl quickly, kneeling to check on her.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* X gets off the balcony.
01[22:21] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron gets off the balcony, Jennifer looks at Cole.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott pulls Chii off
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Lets go
[22:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole gets off the balcony too. To leave Chii to her lightning.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* The lightning ball slows now that they're on the bottom, hovering behind Chii
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <X> So what now?
[22:22] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Is she alright?
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appears to just be passed out
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> She's fine.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott eyes the lightning ball doing nothing, then the horse
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> 6Kane pushes himself to his feet, eyeing the shrine. 1What now?
[22:23] <01Dias`> <Dahok> That's good. 6He moves over to the shrine, studying it
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ball zooms in now at Cheryl
[22:24] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana finally fulls herself up and looks around
[22:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow and pulls out something he hasn't used in a while, the stun baton, and activated it, hoping to keep the lighting at bay.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ball stops, then zaps at Kane
[22:25] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Try and make it hit the statue.
[22:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks to try and do just that.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ball doesn't move; it seems like it has intelligence
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and tilts his head. 1Do you understand me? 6He asks it.
[22:26] <01@Kit> <Chii> What the hell?
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Ball> <You are with the demon army.>
06[22:26] * 01@Jennifer frowns a bit. "Huh?"
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* X stares now
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> No. We're enemies of the demon army.
[22:27] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Woh, don't group me with that army
[22:27] <01@Kit> 6Chii tilts her head. 1"...That's weird."
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Ball> <There are several among you who smell of demons. The unconscious one for example.>
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> She was bitten by one. She has some of its blood inside of her.
[22:28] <01Dias`> <Dahok> She got bit by a higher demon.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ball floats there
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Interesting. Is this a summon?
[22:28] <01@Kit> <Chii> So you're saying I smell like one of those lowly beasts?
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You do, Chii, this isn't a time to be proud.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* X gives Chii a leer.
[22:29] <01@Kit> 6Chii gets a bit frizzed for some reason, her fingers clenching, the knuckles cracking. 1"Fuck you. Don't group me with those animals!"
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ball faces Chii. <This demon has trapped other essences. She must be eliminated> 6* It fires a bolt of lightning at Chii
01[22:29] <01@Jennifer> "As you can see, she considers them bad."
01[22:29] <01@Jennifer> "W-What?"
[22:29] <01@Kit> <Chii> Murder and indulgence..." 6She jerks to the side, drawing both of her swords.
[22:29] <01Dias`> <Dahok> What's it mean by that?
[22:29] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> No. Stop.
[22:29] <01@Kit> <Chii> I've had my share-- but I can think for myself, you bastard. I'm not one of those things!
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ball transforms into a electricity filled horse, and rushes at Chii
[22:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane makes a face, rubbing the side of his head.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <X> I wonder if every esper she endlessly talks about ended up trying to kill her, too
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Probably.
[22:31] <01Ariel> Raquel> "It... it seems likely."
[22:31] <01@Kit> 6Chii blinks, then makes a face and turns to run. 1"Fuuuuck!"
[22:31] <01Dias`> <Dahok> If that's the case, think the ones she has are forced into slavery?
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* It fires bolts of lightning at Chii as it charages
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> <X> I'd believe it.
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> At least we've discovered the summon. 6He notes, turning to face the statue.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Shouldn't we help her?
[22:32] <01@Kit> 6Chii dodges in leaps and runs along the walls to escape, cursing like a sailor pirate.
[22:32] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana waves her arms about, "Mr. Lightning spirit person! Please stop zapping weird people and help us stop this Janus person!"
[22:32] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Help her enslave it?
[22:32] <01@Kit> <Chii> They're not enslaved, you fucks!
[22:32] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Do YOU want to fight the lightning horse that is only trying to free it's brothers and sisters?
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> I was referring to stopping the attack on her
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* The lightning horse lightning zaps in front of Chii, and rams it's head into her gut, shocking her
[22:33] <01@Kit> <Chii> They-- GRAH! AGH!" 6She flies backwards.
01[22:33] <01@Jennifer> "Chii... what do we do?"
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* It chases her, then raises up to try to stomp on her with it's hooves.
[22:33] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Oh that. 6He nods as if understanding it now. 1"We need you're help stopping Janus.
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sighs and tenses to teleport under it, to stop the attack.
[22:33] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana pulls an apple out of the air, "M-Mr. Lightning horse...? Here."
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* The horse eyes Cole now
[22:34] <01@Kit> 6Chii strains to get to a knee. 1"...Ixion, you jackass."
[22:34] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana offers the apple to the lightning spirit, hoping it'll be nice.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Kane studies, he'd notice several rings at the statue's base
[22:34] <01@Kit> <Chii> That's you, right?
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> She may be rude, but she's trying to stop that Janus guy. 6he notes.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Ixion> That is my name, lesser demon.
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers them over quietly.
[22:35] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...Figures. I'll forgive you for calling me names, but I know who won't.
01[22:35] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns and starts to draw on the floor, Jennifer continues to watch between everyone.
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion begins to zap at Cole, trying to overload him
[22:36] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana urges Ixion to take the apple.
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole shift to a holt a hand back towards Ixion, doing the current thing, taking the energy sent into him and releasing it back out.
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott tries t odecide what to do to stop a lightning horse. X watches
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes one and moves to place it on his finger.
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane would feel a power in his body. Like electricity
[22:36] <01@Kit> 6Chii stands up quickly, bringing her left hand out, the one opposite of the crystal bearing Undine. 1"Ruler of the frozen mists, heed my prayer to the abyss and return this heathen to absolute zero... Celsius!"
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <X> Great, she's using the summon now.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* X crosses her arms.
[22:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head then motions those not fightin over to himself.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be 8 rings total, though Kane has one now
[22:38] <01Dias`> 6Dahok peers over at Kane and moves over, eyeing the rings. 1"What ya find?"
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion retreats back
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves over
[22:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves out of the way of the summon fight.
06[22:38] * 01@Jennifer moves over as well, unable to do much else, Cameron focuses on his circle.
[22:38] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. 6He begins to count everyone.
[22:38] <01@Kit> 6Chii moves aside for the runic gate to open, bearing the realm of frozen winds and barren ice. 1"Say hello to your sister, its been a while, right?"
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion's nose flares and he unleashes ground lightning currents at Chii in response
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane gives Jen one, then Scott. He eyes Dahok and then gives him one as well.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott puts it on his finger. He muses. "I feel like I have earth in me now. If that makes sense
[22:39] <01Dias`> 6Dahok takes it. 1"Thanks." 6He slips it on.
06[22:39] * 01@Jennifer blinks and puts it on curiously.
04[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dahok gains wind magic. Jennifer gains water magic.
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It's most likely the rings of the elements. 6He surmises.
01[22:40] <01@Jennifer> "Cool... I feel like I've got water."
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes them getting elements
[22:41] <01@Kit> 6Chii makes a face and reels back putting her arms up-- but to intercept them a wave of frozen wind passes over, countering, and a girl wreathed in nothing but scarves of blueish-white ice lands in front of Chii, hardly any bigger than her, if not the same size.
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances at the ring to see if it has a symbol on it.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion teleports behind Chii and kicks at her back with his hooves
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* The symbol means nothing to Kane, probably this reality's symbol
[22:42] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes the symbol curiously
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dahok would recognize his as Wind
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I don't understand. 6He notes about the symbol.
[22:42] <01@Kit> 6Chii cries sharply and slides forward along the ice, writhing in pain. Celsius stands, turning to eye the horse, an usual pale skin tone and somewhat of a blueish aura around her, her eyes the palest blue without being grey. She actually looks a lot like Chii-- even the pissed off expression.
[22:43] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Perhaps you should take one, Mistress.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <X> I think Chii needs help now
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <X> I'm fine.
[22:43] <01@Kit> <Key> FIGHT-OH!
[22:43] <01Dias`> <Dahok> It say's lightning.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <X> I only need my own strength to win a fight
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> What are the others? 6He motions to the laft 4.
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> NRP: last*
01[22:43] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks up and around. He nods and taps his circle, sending a blast of dirt and rocks at Ixion, hoping to weaken it with grounding.
[22:43] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X, "...if they're there, it wouldn't hurt."
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion is hit by the rock, and gets angrier as he stumbles
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> <X> Then you take one
[22:44] <01@Kit> 6Celsius just coils, then leaps forward as Ixion stumble, spinning in the air with a kick toward Ixion's chest
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion is kicked and hits aw all
[22:44] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, then goes to take two rings. She puts one on, with the intent of making X take the other one.
[22:44] <01@Kit> 6Celsius giggles in an unearthly tone that echoes in the cavern, pursuing him with a playful expression in her eyes.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Raquel gains the power of holy
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion shoots lightning at her
[22:45] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitates, considering trading that with one that's left over.
[22:45] <01@Kit> 6Celsius jerks as she's shocked, screaming in a siren-like voice.
[22:46] <01@Kit> 6Chii groans on the other side of the caver, grumbling as she goes to stand.
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes the two that aren't being used and takes one for Cheryl.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion teleports back to Chii and stomps on her from behind
[22:46] <01Dias`> 6Dahok turns to look at the two summons now
[22:46] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana sighs, stepping back. Ixion doesn't seem like it's going to play nice, so she starts to call upon her not-dragon to help Chii out
01[22:47] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron pants, looking over at Kane. "I could use one... nearly out of my own reserve."
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts finally, and sits up
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I believe this uses the power of within. So it would be pointless to give you one.
[22:47] <01Dias`> 6Dahok throws his hand to the side to try and create a gust of wind to send Chii out of the way of the stomp
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii is knocked away into a wall, saved
01[22:47] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Alright mate." *he wipes his forehead, standing from his circle*
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion neighs in rage
[22:48] <01@Kit> 6Chii screams as she's flung into a wall. 1"GRAH! YOU MOTHERFUCKING COCK-SUCKING SON OF A BITCH THAT HURTS! BOTH OF YOU!"
[22:48] <01Dias`> 6Dahok cringes
06[22:48] * 01@Jennifer blinks at Chii, she moves towards her. "Chii?"
[22:48] <01Ariel> 6* George lunges in an attempt to tackle Ixion.
[22:48] <01@Kit> 6Celsius poises, then throws her hands forward-- almost like one of the TAWverse people doing an energy way, but pure frozen air and ice is emitted toward Ixion instead.
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane motions them to help Chii. 1Go ahead and help her.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the fight. "What...the fuck...?"
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion is tackled, then frozen with George
[22:49] <01Dias`> 6Dahok throws his other hand up to send another gust to block Celsius' attack
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes the other extra and pockets it, moving over to kneel by Cheryl.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* No, wait, Dahok saved him?
[22:49] <01@Kit> 6Celsius narrows her eyes and increases the payload.
[22:49] <01Ariel> 6* George attempts to pin Ixion, not caring if they're both frozen.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion fires lightning at George
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> The situation is over my head but pick one. 6He holds out the two rings.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes them, then takes one; she shifts to stand weakly
[22:51] <01Ariel> 6* George is pretty grounded, being made of rock. And swats at Ixion's head.
[22:51] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Relax. You passed out for a reaon. 6He notes with a hand on her shoulder.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Celsius' next wave hits Ixion and George if Dahok doesn't recounter
[22:52] <01Dias`> 6Dahok lets out a breath, not able to keep up
[22:52] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...y-you know, I'm not saying this is out of my league... but I'm not sure what to do here..."
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* George and Ixion get hit by ice. Ixion turns back into a ball of lightning, floating theer
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I need a nap, that's what I need to do.
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> <Ball> <You win.>
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> <X> I plan to just watch
[22:52] <01@Kit> 6Celsius grins, happy with her work and flies inward, but then skids to a halt, looking disappointed.
[22:52] <01@Kit> <Celsius> Ixion!!" 6She practically hisses, but laughs, her hands on her hips. 1"You're not fun at all!"
[22:53] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Yay~! Wait... what do we win?"
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Ixion> <.... ....>
[22:53] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...My head...>
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Chii. Do something with the summon or we're leaving.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the hell just happened?
[22:53] <01@Kit> 6Chii stands up, wobbling after being tossled about.
[22:53] <01Dias`> 6Dahok rest on his staff now
[22:53] <01@Kit> <Chii> Ixion made fun of me and tried to shock me.
[22:53] <01@Kit> <Celsius> Well, you are a mongrel.
01[22:53] <01@Jennifer> "We umm... got the magic and Chii got a new summon... I think."
[22:54] <01@Kit> <Chii> Fuck you, too!
06[22:54] * 01@Jennifer looks around.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <Ixion> <Yet you help the mongrel>
[22:54] <01@Kit> 6Celsius laughs, eyeing her... fingernails. Claws.
[22:54] <01@Kit> <Celsius> I couldn't help it if Undine got on her knees and begged me.
[22:54] <01@Kit> <Chii> You liar!
06[22:55] * 01@Jennifer crosses her arms and walks over to Chii, checking her wounds.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <X> Great, now she's going to argue with the espers instead of just talking about them
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6He looks annoyed and moves back to the balcony.
[22:55] <01@Kit> <Celsius> Whatever. If you're not going to play with me anymore, Ixion, I'm leaving.
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Wouldn't it be funny if I took Ixion as my summon?
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion considers, then floats to Cole
[22:55] <01Dias`> <Dahok> We've got the magic that'll help us defeat Janus. We should leave.
[22:56] <01@Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Twitches somewhat, eyeing Ixion, then bloody murder at Cole.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Now we need that sword
06[22:56] * 01@Jennifer pulls out some stuff to treat Chii. "How are you so animated after taking those blows?"
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I'll be like Ultra Lightning Cole now. 6He seems proud of himself.
[22:56] <01@Kit> <Chii> You'll be spare parts..."
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ixion does something with COle, apparantly the legendary enough for him, and vanishes in a flash.
[22:56] <01Dias`> <Dahok> You should feel honored that he's choosing you
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You could t-6He pauses. 1Wait.
04[22:57] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes Jennifer, blinking and calming somewhat. Then stares.
[22:57] <01@Kit> <Chii> ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces.
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Obviously I'm more awesome than you.
06[22:57] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks between Chii and Cole now. "Oh jeez."
01[22:57] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron rubs his face.
[22:57] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel stares in disbelief
[22:57] <01@Kit> 6Chii cracks her knuckles and starts moving toward Cole.
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole stands there, watching her.
[22:58] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Okay, that's weird. Say bye bye George." *waves as the not-dragon disappears*
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kane.
06[22:58] * 01@Jennifer puts her supplies away then moves over to check on Cheryl. "Do you need anything?"
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just shakes her head once.
[22:58] <01Dias`> <Dahok> We've got a lot of ground to cover if we want to get the sword. 6He notes as he watches Chii and Cole
[22:58] <01@Kit> <Chii> Ixion! You walk all over me, then don't even listen!? What kind of...
[22:58] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes? 6He asks from the balcony.
[22:59] <01@Kit> <Key> That was fun!
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I ... need a rest. Are we still near the water? If so, this would be a good place to rest an hour or two
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Easier to defend here
06[22:59] * 01@Jennifer rubs the back of her head and smiles a bit for some reason.
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Of course. We just have to move back to the surface.
[22:59] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Should be safe. The cave'll provide us with cover.
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks annoyed.
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good. Lets use this for now. 6* The cave itself has a lot of side areas for privacy as well, it seems.
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole just sighs at Chii yelling at him.
[23:00] <01@Kit> <Celsius> Can I beat up the canner?
[23:00] <01@Kit> 6Chii throws up her hands, exasperated. 1"NO! Go away!"
06[23:00] * 01@Jennifer stretches a bit and winces again. "...Owwww... yeah I could use some rest."
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Your group is very animated.
[23:00] <01@Kit> <Celsius> ....Chii..." 6She narrows her eyes."
[23:00] <01@Kit> <Chii> ...Please?
[23:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods slightly. 1More than it should be. 6He notes to Scott, then moves for a side room.
[23:01] <01@Kit> 6Celsius grins at that, then hops back through a quicker appearing gate, promptly disappearing.
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves off herself, rubbing her face.
[23:01] <01Dias`> 6Dahok plops down against the statue .
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The statue heals Dahok's tiredness
[23:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole stretches and glances to Lilith. 1Want to take a nap with me?
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kidding
[23:01] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes Cole darkly.
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Cole slowly
06[23:01] * 01@Jennifer turns around a moment, pauses, then looks about, she frowns and heads after Kane.
[23:01] <01@Kit> 6Lilith jerks, eyeing Cole, then Chii, then Cole. 1"...Probably not."
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott takes a seat to rest.
01[23:02] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sits himself down against a wall and pulls out his thermos.
[23:02] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ...ok. 6He peers between the girls and moves over to be off on his own.
[23:02] <01Dias`> 6Dahok looks over at Scott. 1"So what's your story?
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Recruited.
[23:02] <01@Kit> 6Chii falls to her knees.
[23:02] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Yeah? How long you been with them?
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Two days
[23:03] <01Dias`> <Dahok> They must have a way with words.
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Something like that
01[23:04] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> *looks over at the two, sipping his tea, he moves over and sits by them* "Can I offer you gents a cup?"
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> No thank you
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in a side room, rubbing her face
01[23:04] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks to Dahok.
[23:04] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Nah. 6He waves his hand dismissively
[23:04] <01@Kit> 6Chii brings her hand back and punches the ground repeatedly. 1"Kuso, kuso, kuso, kuso, KUSO!"
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple in the ground so Chii punches herself repeatedly
01[23:05] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron nods and sips. "You have family here Dahok? In this world?"
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes a seat and begins to set out items, working quietly.
[23:05] <01@Kit> 6Chii literally does a backflip from punching herself in the jaw.
[23:05] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I've got a sister.
[23:05] <01@Kit> 6Lilith stares, then looks at X.
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* X closes the ripple silently, trying not to give herself away. After all, it could have been Raquel
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* X offers Lilith a piece of meat to be quiet
01[23:06] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron nods, sipping his tea again before speaking. "When we're done here, and we part ways, I suggest you stay here."
[23:06] <01@Kit> 6Lilith takes it, looking worried. Chii doesn't get up for a while, but then hops to her feet and runs off, quickly and silent.
01[23:06] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "...Not the cane, that is."
01[23:06] <01@Jennifer> *cave
[23:07] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I didn't have plans to follow you people.
[23:07] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...never boring at least."
01[23:07] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Good man."
