01<@DeathStar> Date: 3 days later
01<@DeathStar> Location: Tal's Group
01<@DeathStar> 6* After riding for 3 days along the plains, in the cramped carriages, they finally come to a stop
<Xanatos> 6* Tal jerks and hangs his head out. ARE WE THERE?!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane blinks awaker in the carriage, her shawl and stuff on; as Tal leans out, the heat of the desert smacks him. Though there's still grass and what not ahead, they are very close it seems, and the grass is no longer lush but brownish
<Seraphna> * Sia blinks and yawns, sitting up and looking around, cuddled to Jean.
01<@DeathStar> <Driver> You go on foot from here
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers out, making faces at the heat, since it's already hot
<Xanatos> 6* Tal jerks and brings his head back in. No thanks...want to stay here.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim adjusts her hood, while Rose sits there blankly
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas opens the carriage door and steps out
<Seraphna> * Sia gets up and look to Jean. "Should we change into something lighter?"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Alright, everyone, get the materials. 6* Gemane gets out and takes two bags, knowing that Aschae will take much more
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Go ahead and use the carriages once we're all out to change.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas takes his backpack and puts it on his back. Jean and Sia begin to change in the female carriage with Aschae and Nephilim, switching to practically bikini like clothing, but also putting on shawls to cover their face and light cloaks to protect their skin from sun
<Xanatos> 6* Tal grumbles as he gets out the carriage and begins to get a few bag supplies.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane does the same, getting back in the carriage and closing the windows to hide her tail and ears. When she steps out, her lcoak is a little up due to the tail, but the driver'sw don't seem to notice
<Kit> 6Aschae shifts to pick up several packed tents by the straps and puts them over her shoulder, looping many bags over her staff and shoulders it to carry like a hitchhiker, stepping out in her slave garments, her feet wrapped so they don't burn on the sand.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim strips outside a carriage, and puts on her garments; the girls all look like arabic women, with their bodies showing but the clothing silk and covering
<Seraphna> * Sia waits till others exit to get out looser clothes for herself and Jean and help her change.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose sits there, not moving or undressing
<Xanatos> 6* Tal already starts to pant as he sits there and waits on the others.
<Kit> 6Nephilim gets out looking like a desert nomad in her own mantles and cloaks haphazardly mixed from different areas, having been here before.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane, once done, gets her material, trying to get her tail not to stick out straight
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas6* Jean peers to see if Nephilim has her bandana on
<Kit> 6Nephilim is wearing the new one, along with her old covering parts of her face, her hair flowing out.
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> Nephilim, can you dress Rose properly?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean beams through her silk face covering
<Xanatos> <Tal> I want water.
<Kit> <Nephilim> ..." 6She eyes Rose. 1".. Yeah, alright."
<Seraphna> * Sia then feeds Kaji some fruit and makes sure she's comfy in her cleavage. "Remember to keep low until strangers are gone sweetie."
<Kit> 6Aschae lifts her free hand, summoning water over Tal.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal sputters and spits, though he pauses and lets out a relaxed noise. Mmm. Water.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane's ankle has a gold braclet, and her wrist has one as well, giving her a sexy desert look; Aschae also has them on, along with a gold collar. Jean, finding them cute, has an ankle braclet; she also bought Sia and Nephilim one
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose sits there oblivious
01<@DeathStar> 6* Once the carriage's are freed, the driver's impatiently wait to go, giving Nephilim time to deal with Rose
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas checks all their water flasks, makiong sure everyone carries at least two
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane stretches and peers at Aschaem checking her over
01<@DeathStar> <Driver> Hurry up!
<Xanatos> 6* Tal sits there scratching his ear.
<Seraphna> * Sia dresses as Jean pleases her to and takes her flasks when out, adjusting the gauntlets, which she keeps with her, and a pack for herself. "Relax, we're almost ready."
<Kit> 6Nephilim glares at the driver. 1"You hurry up with sand in your panties." 6She sighs, trying to help Rose and explain what would otherwise be obvious about the process, but smiles encouragingly
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean wiggles about in her outfit, shaking her hips that are showing and moving her stomach
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose nods and shifts to do so inside, getting into her desert outfit; due to the metal ear things on her head, Nephilim would have to put a cloth over it to cover them, though it looks awkward; they need to figure out how to remove them
01<@DeathStar> 6* Once the two are off the carriages drive back toward the city. Thomas begins to trudge forward; Gemane picks up her two bags, Jean picks up two food bags; Seraphim carries a large amount of supplies for them
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Je--I get to see desert finally!
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> We're about 2 hours from it; the ground will get more treacherous the closer we get
<Kit> 6Aschae feels at her ear with her hand, some of her new jewelry being sets of studs and earrings. She twitches her ears, playing at them a bit.
<Seraphna> * Sia trots along beside Jean. "Me too! This is my first time." *she giggles*
<Xanatos> 6* Tal gets to his feet and lifts up some bags. Hate this place. 6he grumbles
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemae kisses Aschae's ear. "You look adorable and sexy."
<Kit> <Nephilim> It's why using desert creatures for travel is preferred, but we don't have many options. Just deal with it. In Sinai maybe we'll find better ways out.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim quietly moves along the dead grass, peering at it as if understanding it
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas >We may find some when it becomes sandier.
<Xanatos> <Tal> You deal with it. 6He grumbles.
<Kit> <Nephilim> I am-- better than you, pup.
01<@DeathStar> <JEan> ... Jean feels...pulling in direction we're going... <Gemane> Like you did at the forest? What are you, like some sort of sucker?
<Xanatos> <Tal> YOU don't have all this fur!
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> The desert has hundreds of ruins; the church keeps a death grip on all the relics found by having a large presence in Sinai. <Gemane> A bad place to meet Lenneth...
<Kit> <Aschae> ..." 6She smiles blushing faintly at Gemane and peers down a bit as she walks, having a little trouble in the sand, not used to it, but managing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane adjusts her cloak so her tail is free, then frees her ears, which flick a bit in relief
<Seraphna> Sia> "Should we follow the pull now? It's on the way isn't it?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* There are clumps of sand along with grass, but so far it isn't deserty
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Sinai first; we could run out of food and water following the pull unprepared
<Xanatos> 6* Tal takes his cloak off and wraps it around the bag he's carrying, he lets out a sigh of relief.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Very likely.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> We can determine the direction of the pull once there. 6* Jean, a far away look, nods, making herself ignore it
<Xanatos> <Tal> What's these pull things you talk about?
<Seraphna> Sia> "Okay, then we can bring the others with us!"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean---feels something important, like a sensation --- and... just---has need to go there. <Gemane> ... hm. You know, I haven't mentioned it, but something's been on my mind; we haven't seen the Angel since the battle. What happened to her?
<Seraphna> Sia> "She looked sad..."
<Xanatos> <Tal> The angel is right there. 6He points to Jean.
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> She has a split personality
<Xanatos> 6* Tal looks confused.
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> Don't you remember how take charge she was when you met her at first?
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> Compare that to the meek girl after the battle
<Xanatos> <Tal> She's two different people!?
<Seraphna> Sia> "In that place, we fought Angelus, he told us some things and it made her very sad."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean hopes she is okay...
<Kit> <Aschae> She stood up to him... I think she just needs time..
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean glances at Aschae, remembering she didn'tl ike her much in the battle. "Aschae...I---are you still mad at me?"
<Kit> <Aschae> No." 6She shakes her head quickly.
<Seraphna> * Sia tilts her head.
<Xanatos> <Tal> Seem like everyone needs time.
01<@DeathStar> 6* JEan relaxes. "I'm glad; I didn't like Aschae not being happy with Jean because of argument." 6* She hugs her
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Aschae is very important to Jean
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane raises a brow, clearly curious why JEan would think Aschae would be mad
<Kit> <Aschae> I was... not very... happy with your choices... but... we all learn..." 6She sulks.
<Seraphna> Sia> "Which choice...?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods. "I promise to try to be better; even though I don't think I would make the same choices as she would, I believe in the same common goal as she does. I want to become better and stop the bad people.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I know you are closer with her, but you mean a lot to me, too
<Xanatos> 6* Tal looks a little confused as he looks from person to person.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane shrugs; Seraphim walks along, while Thomas is quietly listening, touching the area where his arm once was and carrying his backpack of ancient books
<Kit> <Aschae> ... I'm sorry I disappointed you, then... Jean.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> you haven't disapppointed me! I disappointed you, I know. But I wish you will keep teaching me things like you did before. I look up to you.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they walk, suddenly Seraphim lets out a cry and falls over; grass shards are in her arm, making it bleed. The grass wavers; Nephilim would know this is Killer Grass, which grows in parts of Sinai; however, it is rare for it to attack people out right, typically having a reason that people haven't determined; the next shards fly right at Thomas, however, striking his chest
<Xanatos> * Tal jerks and reaches out to pull Thomas back.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane's tail and ears bristle. "What the hell?" 6* Thomas grunts in pain, but Tal's jerking prevents more damage to him then it would have, the grass not going in deep like it did with Seraphim's arm. Nephilim would know the shards need to be removedi mmediately, lest the body get grass poisoning stains
<Kit> <Nephilim> What the..!?" 6She draws her knife.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The killer grass spot moves, idnciating it's location, and fires more at Seraphim and Thomas, the shards flying for their throats
<Kit> 6Nephilim shifts over to Seraphim, yanking her back and starts dislodging the existing shards
<Seraphna> * Sia squeaks, she tosses a fireball lvl 3 at the spot. "Bad grass thing!"
<Kit> 6Aschae swipes her staff out to block for Thomas, then holds out her hand, setting off a gale burst attop Sia's fireball
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> AAaieee! Grass gone mean! 6* Rose stares, forming a crystyal harvster sycthe used to cut wheat, and strikes the buurning grass
<Xanatos> 6* Tal shifts around to protect Thomas, trying to move him back to safety.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim whimpers as she's pulled back from being hit more and the shards yanked on; they're trying to force thier way way in and are extremely painful, she would know
<Kit> <Nephilim> Shh, shh, I have to get them out.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Tal! Get the grass out of Thomas as quickly as possible!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas is moved to safety; the shards in his chest are trying to get in, but have further to go due to Tal's first prevention
01<@DeathStar> 6* The grass burns, extremely weak to the fire, and Rose's cutting damages it more. Jean focuses power into Aschae and Sia to strike again with magic; two more spots wiggle around them
<Xanatos> 6* Tal nods to Nephilim and does his best to get the shards out of Thomas. Crazy ass nature is angry at us.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim nods, biting her knuckle to keep from being noisey as Nephilim yanks out the shards; blood drips from her arm
<Seraphna> * Sia cries out and blasts another Fireball level 3 at the grass. "Bad grass bad!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas growls in pain, making noises as Tal removes the shards. The two new spots fire more shards at their targets - and at Jean this time.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Sia lights another spot on fire and Rose cuts it once it's burning
<Kit> 6Aschae frowns and holds out her hand, forming a magic barrier to try and protect them from the new ones
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane hisses, not sure if her attacks would be useful, so she tackles Jean to protect her
<Seraphna> * Sia then leaps in front of Jean, throwing up her magick shield.
<Xanatos> <Tal> You get hurt a lot. You should try being better. 6He tells Thomas.
<Kit> 6Aschae eyes Sia, and shifts, bringing up Inferno from under the grass instead
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Sia and aschae go defense, the last spot of grass begins to prepare for a super strike, firing shards at Seraphim outside the barrier
01<@DeathStar> 6* But Aschae burns it before it can
<Kit> <Nephilim> Strange..
01<@DeathStar> 6* The grasses all die, leaving behind 3 sets of Killer Weed; Nephilim would know that smoking Killer Weed would ennhancea person's strength temporarily by 5 points, but lowers their intelligence by 5 as well temporarily
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> What WAS that? 6* She helps JEan up; Thomas nods his thanks to Tal.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim, once shard freed, straightens up, trying to hide the pain she is in from her bleeding arm
<Kit> <Nephilim> Killer Grass, for lack of better name.
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> Azuha spirits; what a thing
<Xanatos> 6* Tal gives a smirk and moves over to Seraphim and leans in to sniff.
<Kit> 6Nephilim starts to hum her healing song, collecting the grass items with annoyance.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Tal would smell her demon smell; it's not unpleasant
<Xanatos> <Tal> You smell fun.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim looks a bit woozy, then looks at Aschae apologetically. "Tonight I may need to feed, mistress." 6* She blinks at Tal
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> F-Fun?
<Kit> <Aschae> It's fine...
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim bows to ASchae, still peering at Tal confused
<Kit> <Nephilim> We should go... before whatever's agitated them brings more.
<Xanatos> <Tal> Your smell. Is nice.
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> T-Thank you...but I am a monster...unholy. You should not smell me. I would not wish to corrupt you
<Seraphna> * Sia smiles a bit and looks about quietly. She peers at Seraphim. "I can help with that if you want, Seraphim."
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> Help with my unholy self?
<Xanatos> <Tal> You can't corrupt me with smell. 6He notes with an amused chuckle.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods in agreement with Nephilim and moves on. Jean stands up. "Jean know why grass attack her - she's angel. But why Miss Seraphim and Mr. Thomas?"
<Xanatos> <Tal> I didn't know grass could fight. 6He moves along.
<Seraphna> Sia> "Feeding silly."
<Kit> <Aschae> I've never seen such a thing either..
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> O-Oh...
<Kit> <Nephilim> It's specific to this area. Like certain cactii
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes, it is ...different
01<@DeathStar> <GEmane> Is it unusual for it to attack?
<Kit> <Nephilim> It has-- but not often. Like I said, something is likely agitating them. Driving them to fear. They're not quite plant, not quite animal. So they have instincts, but not much in the way of intelligence.
03* kalonZombie (chatzilla@pool-162-84-58-24.sal.east.verizon.net) has joined #Session104
<Seraphna> Sia> "You're not unholy, you've just got special needs."
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> I am demon
<Xanatos> 6* Tal hmms. Next time I'll just pee on it. Always killed weeds back home.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane chuckles. "It typically makes grass grow."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses. Wait, really?
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> Yes.
<Seraphna> Sia> "And I'm a human. Some would say that's worse."
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> Oh, u-um, you are not so bad for a human; you treat Mistress Aschae nice
<Xanatos> 6* Tal lets out a sigh.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas leads the way, while JEan walks along, puzzling why it chose those three targets. Gemane scratches Tal's ear as if to say it's okay
<Xanatos> 6* Tal gives a relaxing grin.
<Seraphna> Sia> "You're not so bad for a demon then." *she smiles* "I know you're good. You fed off me before but didn't overdo it, you easily could have."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The grass begins to get less and less as they travel; as they move, the sand begins to shift and a sand spike flies out; Nephilim would know that's from Spiked Sand Worms that live in the sand. They rarely attack large groups, seeking longers. The sand spike flies for Thomas, and another one for Seraphim
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean squeaks and GEmane pulls Seraphim out of the way so the others can attack
<Xanatos> 6* Tal lets out a sigh and jumps forward to tackle Thomas aside.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas grunts as he's tackled to safety again. The sand spot that's shifting is only about a 1 foot in diameter.
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> Now what? 6* She shifts, driving her hand in and pulling out a spiked worm, that's pierced her hand a little with it's spikes; she throws it up into the air for the others to
01<@DeathStar> *hit
<Xanatos> <Tal> You attract trouble. 6He gets to his feet, peering around.
<Kit> 6Aschae shifts to strikes the spikes down with her staff, then holds it up and attacks the spot shifting with water torrent
01<@DeathStar> 6* The water destroys the worm's hole so it can't escape or more come
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane sucks her bleeding hand, her ears lowered in anger
01<@DeathStar> 6* The spiked worm, about 2 feet long, begins to fall toward them, preparing to fire another spike
<Seraphna> * Sia blinks a bit, she moves over and wraps a bandage around Gename's hand.
<Kit> 6Nephilim leaps up and tries to stab, then slam it toward the ground
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nephilim stabs the worm in slow motion, slamming it into the ground and killing it. Worm silk falls out
01<@DeathStar> 6* If 5 worm silks are collected, they can be used to make materials for clothing; or each individual silk can be sold
<Kit> 6Nephilim covets the silk.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose stares at the silk, then touches it blankly
<Seraphna> * Sia touches some too, she then checks Gename's hand. "You'll be better soon!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane nods her thanks
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> Damn; I'm beginning to think they don't like Seraphim and Thomas much
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> .. Sorry. 6* He dusts himself up, leading ahead again
<Seraphna> Sia> "Does Mister Thomas have jerky in his pockets?"
<Xanatos> <Tal> That was pretty slick. 6He tells Neph and helps Thomas up, patting him. You got anything that would attract 'em?
<Seraphna> * Sia feeds Kaji a bit of worm she slices off before moving on.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Perhaps they smell my missing arm
<Seraphna> Sia> "...How do they..."
<Xanatos> <Tal> You think they...are attacked the wounded?
<Seraphna> * Sia tilts her head and frowns. "But then why Ms. Seraphim?"
<Kit> <Aschae> She might already smell dead or wounded, technically...
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses and smells Thomas to see if he smells like Seraphim.
<Seraphna> Sia> "We could cover them in something that smells different?"
<Kit> <Aschae> ...Seraphim smells pleasant. I don't think it's as simple.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas doesn't
<Xanatos> <Tal> Smells are different.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim, actually, wears faint perfumes that she knows ASchae likes
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> For now, we'll be careful; they also attacked Jean
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean sulks as they move along. Rose stares about, then begins to attack any clump of grass she sees, which will slow them down if they don't stop them
<Seraphna> * Sia hmms. "Maybe they just smell tastey!" *She hops over and licks Jean's arm* "Hmmm."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses and sniffs Jean too.
<Kit> <Aschae> Rose..!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose looks up, her one good eye, though not the same eye color, has the same Lenneth like look for a moment.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean squeaks.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Sia plans to eat Jean!
<Seraphna> * Sia giggles. "Nah, I prefer fruit!"
<Seraphna> * Sia offers her some.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean takes it, taking a small bite indignantly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane eyes Rose and sighs, leaving it to Aschae to handle
<Seraphna> * Sia hugs her and pouts up at her.
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> We really need to teach her things; like talking
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean giggles and nuzzles Sia, moving along as best she can with Sia clinging
<Xanatos> 6* Tal walks along, he pants after a bit and drinks one bottle of hsi water, gulping it down.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The views of the area are boring and open; it doesn't look very fancy at all
<Seraphna> * Sia lets her go and walks with her.
<Kit> <Aschae> Come here... you'll get lost if you wander off.
<Seraphna> Sia> "Here's one thought... what if they're not attacking some people. I mean, we're looking at who's getting attacked... any reason why they don't go after others?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose walks over to join her
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> LEts just keep our eyes open instead of pondering on it; we need to remain focused and elert.
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> So don't play around
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane chides Sia like the chieftian she was
<Xanatos> <Tal> I miss the carriage.
01<@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
01<@DeathStar> Location: Val's Lame Group
01<@DeathStar> 6* After riding three days through the high grasslands, the grass begins to look normal, as if it's been clearly cut down, and up ahead they can see what appears to be a city on the horizon
01<@DeathStar> 6* The air has grown hotter as they travel northward
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne guides their cart along behind them
<Kit> 6Yewn sneezes, making a face at a bad feeling, probably because she's with the 'lame group'
<Xanatos> <Valen> Almost there. 66He states the obvious, keeping a slight distance in front of Wynne and Yewn.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm, we'll need supplies to cross the sands."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> He's narrating again, Yewn
<Xanatos> NRP: WHoops!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks at himself and takes a drink of water. I think I'm not used to the heat.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne giggles a little. "You know, it's customary at a wedding to give a gift to the newly wed couple; you three never got us anything
<Seraphna> Seth> "Oi, I like the cold me'self."
<Kit> <Yewn> He 'minds me o' someone ah think ah used t'know..?" 6She rubs her chin.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they travel along, they can see horses and carriages moving to and fro in the distance
<Kit> <Yewn> She spoke funny, too.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I-I was married too, where's my gift?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't really give gifts.
<Kit> 6Yewn eyes Kaelan and flips her a gold coin
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne sulks at Valen
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles a bit and tosses her a roll.
<Kit> 6Yewn blinks at the roll, eyeing Kaelan again
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> You don't like us.. 6* She mumbles
<Xanatos> <Valen> Whos aid that?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What? Gifts can't come in food?"
<Seraphna> Seth> "I'd give ye both a gift bu---" <Kaelan> "Seth."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> You don't sit near us at camp, you always ride ahead of us more so than the other two - you don't really talk to us
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne eyes Seth. "If that is a sexual joke, we already will have to submit to males of our village at one point; we will not submit to you."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "He prefers cute blonde elves who sing."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne holds up a crossbow, too
<Seraphna> Seth> "I-I was going to offer a song?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne cocks it
<Seraphna> Seth> "Or NOT singing."
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's nothing against you. I'm just not very good at being social.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they get closer, they can see a line waiting to get in the city, and a line coming out. The city guards are at the only gate in, due to the fact behind it is a desert, and they've put up a giant wall that stretches as far as they can see left and right; according to Zeal's map, this part of the continent is small and there's only about 10 miles to the ocean on either side
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Well, you can practice with us. We'll help you
<Xanatos> <Valen> Er...o...okay. 6He rubs his neck slightly, slowing down.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Looks like we need to get through."
<Kit> <Yewn> Y'like th'girly boy aft'ah all, Val?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Who?
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Okay, you said you have a girl you're looking forward to meeting? We could help you with how to talk to her and make her happy
<Seraphna> * Seth shifts his horse so he's out of sight of the gate and shifts to Sadye.
01<@DeathStar> 6* They settle in behind other people. Wynne pauses, then whispers. "'ey, just had a thought; would wanted post'as be up of ya'll?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I...don't know. It's possible.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...Possibly, yes. Seth isn't an issue there... but the rest of is..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne muses. "'here." 6* She waves them all to their cart
<Seraphna> * Sadye's face shifts just to be sure.
<Kit> <Yewn> Who's this girl he likes 'nyways?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan and Sadye shift their horses over.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Nephilim."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne hands the reins to Yewn and moves to the back of the cart, getting some Oasian face paint they wear to look intimidating, handing some to Kaelan, and keeping another tiny bottle for Valen
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slows to their cart.
<Xanatos> <Valen> What is this?
01<@DeathStar> 6* She then also sets out an Oasian cloak and hands them each one. "Ye'll be 'our body'guards. To protect 'r goods."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan does up her face in Oasian fashion, then puts on the cloak.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Wear the face paint to look a'tim'inadting.
<Seraphna> Sadye> "I guess I'll play the maid again."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pulls tehe cloak on and begins to put the stuff on his face.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Like this?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne gets back in the front, then peers at Valen. "First, when it comes to socializing, ya need to engage in conversation first." 6* She nods to his question. "If ya wait for someone to talk to ye, it makes you look unfriendly."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't wait for Nephilim to talk to me.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits taller and squares her shoulders.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> I am talkin' in general.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye said you were bad
<Xanatos> <Valen> But I thought you said you were going to help me be better with Nephilim.
<Seraphna> Sadye> "He is a quiet, broody kind of boy."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Just ask plain questions like 'how are ye feeling?" and ask things about the person to learn more of them. Compliment them on things you like about them. For ye' girl, compli'ment their looks
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Aye, ah'm doing both if ye would listen
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Now, for ye girl, it would be good, when ye meet her, to ask her to eat with you privately; as not to be too intimate to begin with, pick an esta'blishment that is quiet and has atma'sphere
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh. 6He peers down. Usually I can learn a lot from someone just by watching them.
<Seraphna> Sadye> "Tails should probably be scarce too, by the way."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Just watchin' someone ain't good e'ough. They just efel like you are aloof and unint'e'estad
<Kit> <Yewn> We do nae have maids. 'Cept fer Zeal. That's new." 6She pauses, then looks back, her cloak twitching as her ears down. 1"Wait, ye said Nephilim..?!"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> That's for people in' general
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ay';nephilim the elf who comes now 'n again
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes that's her.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Now, where was I; oh ye, you should ask 'er questions about er'self - things she likes, her past, learn common in'ter'ests
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "She calls Zeal, Rachael and myself her 'girls'. Never quite understood that."
<Kit> <Yewn> Eh, mind ye need know she be 'loof an un'inte'ested as I've seen.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> This is import'ant for n'e'one. 'ere, practice on me. Start a con've'sations
<Xanatos> <Valen> She likes me I think. But...well it's complicated I suppose. 6He pauses and clears his throat. Hello.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> That be'cause she would lo'ok after 'ye sometimes when 'ye passed through. I recall one visit; she watched ye' and Zeal both - before the monster attack
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne then turns toward Valen
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Hello, Mr. Valen.
<Kit> <Yewn> Ehh..! So e'en an elf like that lass kin fall fer a pretty face, eh?
<Xanatos> <Valen> How...about that weather. It's..er...hot isn't it?
<Seraphna> kaelan> "Yup, she lights him on fire if he looks at other girls."
<Seraphna> Sadye> "Fiery passion, that one."
<Kit> <Yewn> Guess s'
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> 'ey, it be very hot; I'm not wearin' n'e'thing practically under my cloak
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> 'cept some silk clothin' meant for de'serts
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks and stammers.
01<@DeathStar> 6* They're almost to the gate now
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye' plan'in on buying male de'sert clothin'?
<Kit> <Yewn> Ye lucky ah'm wearin' 'nythin' un'er this.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan coughs a bit. "We're gettin' close now."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I...don't think so. I look silly in it.
<Seraphna> Sadye> "It might be nice to see him in it."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye'll regret it in the 'eat.
<Seraphna> * Sadye jerks a bit and looks at the walls interestedly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne takes her cloak off, revealing the arabic silk outfit that covers only her bra and thigh area, made of silk so the wind blows
<Xanatos> <Valen> I guess I'll have to try them on. The heat is tough.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Women wear this, but males w'ear a bit more.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne puts the cloak back on
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks at the clothing and hmmms, since it's sorta like Rachael's items, just better fabric.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm, I'd be tempted to make Sadye wear it, but she needs to conserve her energy."
<Seraphna> * Sadye quietly shews.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Once they reach the gate, the guards eye them all, peering at Valen and Kaelan's faces especially, then speaks. "What's your business?" <Wynne> We be here to trade good with Sinai. <Guard> ... 6* He reaches and grabs a paper, holding it out to Valen to give to Wynne. "Use that to buy any supplies you need and present it to the gate leading to the desert upon leaving."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen would notice wanted posters for everyone in the group that's not new, but part of the original mostly, on a wall near the gate. Apparantly the face paint did the trick for now, or their small number did
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean's drawing, oddly, has her giving an evil glint that makes her chilling
<Seraphna> * Kaelan remains quiet and stoic, being an intimidating guard. Sadye acts as a quiet girl.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen passes the paper on to Wynne.
<Kit> 6Yewn remains quiet under her hood.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen waits for them to get clear of the guards. Thanks for the assistance Wynne. Yewn.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan and Sadye continue to keep quiet for now.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne takes it; off to the west of the city htey can see fields that grow the food; as they enter the city, it's made of baked clay and sand from the desert and has a very arabic look. Vendors are selling water and other drinks at high prices due to the desert to come.
<Kit> <Yewn> Do nae mention it. Ser'ously. Bad fer business.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne nods as they move in, speaking. "We should stay 'ere a day, then set out in the morn'. First, we will discuss what ye be needing supply wise."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets a smirk before pausing. What do you mean?
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye will be needing a lot of water and liquids, and water flasks; ye should buy lighter silk clothing like we are wearin', but make sure to have a light cloak to cover ye head and body. It has to be light as not to be heavy and make ye hotter.
<Kit> <Yewn> Hush up, boy. She carin' fer ye well bein' s'listen up.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Food wise, ye will be needing food that won't spoil in the heat of the desert.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne pops Yewn lightly for being rude
<Kit> 6Yewn makes a noise and rubs her head under the cloak.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm, I'll help with the bartering. We need to be sure our beasts can last the trek too."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Now, we never made the trip to the desert be'fore, because the guards at the desert gate be corrupt; see, this city has tax for people leaving to the desert to make money, since moost people be headin' for Sinai with supplies. The tax is high, but there be other ways to get by. Sex. 6* She eyes Sadye
<Seraphna> * Sadye squeaks. "Wh-What?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well I can't help out there.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> From what ah heard from Kae'lan and chief Zeal, ye should give yer body to help the group for ya sins
<Seraphna> * Sadye looks down.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Other wise it is 100 silver
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "She will."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne turns back to Valen to continue with what htey will need
<Seraphna> * Sadye squeaks, "Wh-Wha? But it's a-a gold...!"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan muses. "Earn a gold then."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to Wynne, he pulls out a piece of parchment to try and note everything they'll need.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye will likely be needin' tents, ropes, herbs for wounds, anti-ve'om, and wood fer fire if ye use one to keep monsters away
<Seraphna> Sadye> "I-I... but..." <Kaelan> "That or you can take a loan out with me, 30% interest."
<Seraphna> * Sadye blinks. "Y-You're cruel." <Kaelan> "What? I thought you liked sex."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm mostly concerned with items that help in the desert.
<Seraphna> <Kaelan> "Well, let's hit a bank and then go shopping."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Aye, ah' namin' items ye will need, am I not? Add water flasks and water if ye forget that, too
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne clears her throat to continue
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a slight sigh and shakes his head slightly, but says nothing more.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> You will need a compass; the de'sert is like a maze. Also ye will need a de'tec'tor
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "A detector?"
<Kit> <Yewn> Aye, great fun they 'er.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> It is a tiny thin' that beeps when ye are in areas that are dan'g'ous and have ailments that make 'ye sick
<Xanatos> <Valen> That sounds very interesting.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Interesting, costly?"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye' ignore it, and ye hair falls out and ye vomit; some black market deal'ahs sell de'tect'ahs that cost more, but also de'tect metals in the desert. Desert is filled with ruins and ol' stuff
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> The Digger Guild 'ere is huge.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Also ye can find jobs at the Hunter Guild, too; they ain't as big as in sinai, but they got lots of jobs like es'cort
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Then we'll definately get at least one. Let's find a Phan and Phaer's."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> De'tectors, without the black mark'et items, costs 100 gold
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Finally, this is the most important thing be'sides the de'tectors
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers at her interestedly.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen leans in slightly.
<Kit> <Yewn> Ah'll pitch in if we get one that has th'extra bells an' whistles-- but only if ah get t'keep it aft'ah.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye need to sell your horses and buy de'sert 'orses. They 'ar made for the de'sert. Or if ye not want to buy 'em, since they're expen'ive, speak to the Gypseys and get ah ride on a sand serpent; mo' expensive, but ye will not run the risk of a 'orse dying on ye
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and pats his horse, looking sad.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye may even can find a way to get a ride 'fo free if ye are good enough
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "So we've got quite the shopping list."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne eyes Sadye, as if saying if they give the Gypses him or something
<Kit> 6Yewn stands proudly as Wynne says that
<Seraphna> * Sadye squeaks. "More sex?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne nods. "It is ovah a week to Sinai and it is dane'ga'ous
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Riding with experienced people would be a good idea."
<Xanatos> <Valen> How much are those sand serpent things?
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> It may even 'be better to get job as escort to haf' others; but then ye need to be car'ful around 'em
<Kit> <Yewn> Ah'm nae s'sure th'gypsies would take 'er.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We don't need to be careful around these Gypsies?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne thinks, adding in her head. "Well, the des'ert horses are 100 gold each; the ser'pant is 700 gold."
<Kit> <Yewn> Ah'm... well, that really depends.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yeah, let's get a ride with them, 700 is nearly enough to clean out my bank account."
<Kit> <Yewn> Y'now Nephilim right? So ah...
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> But re'mem'bah, ye need to buy our horses, too, so we can car'ry yer supplies in our cart; de'sert horses aren't good at carr'yin items. And if they ar' killed, ye are on foot
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> But with the' ser'pant, we can hook our cart up to it
<Xanatos> <Valen> Let's see how much we can get out of the horses.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan twitches. "So... what do we need? I'm gonna try to get help from the Gypsies."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne gestures at Valen's list he made of all she said
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hands it over to Kaelan.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan takes it and looks it over. "Alright... let's see how we're travelling first, then tackle this list in order."
<Kit> <Yewn> Gypsies are tight group, nae unlike Oasians. Kinda like native tribes but they tend t'wander from city t'city. Versed in travel but ah'so th'things nec'sary t'keep their way in people too. They dress fancy an' oft carry knives hidden on the'person.
<Kit> <Yewn> Y'do well t'nae 'ffend 'em or threaten their bein'." 6She shrugs.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods, blinking a little. "They travel a lot huh...?"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Also, if ye get extra things, we can store it in our cart' like weapons an' armor
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances around, looking for a place to sell their horses.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne smiles
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen would see horse sellers with non-desert horses at this part of the city, since people getting horses here would be entering the grasslands
01<@DeathStar> 6* Accona looks like a major city
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We need a place to stay too."
<Kit> <Yewn> Some ah performers, good storytellin', singers an' dancers, but they keep t'themselves. Doubt they'd find much fancy in that weird girl y'offerin' body of.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Two rooms? Seth can stay with Valen, I can stay with you girls?"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye should get a room 'near the desert gate
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne nods once at Kaelan
<Kit> <Yewn> W-With us?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "Lets get that first, so we have somewhere to load and unload things."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Criers are on the streets, advertising various establishment's; one is advertising Phan and Pher's Armor and Weapons; another is advertising Sinai Armor and Weapons, another is advertising the best food, best horses, the best inns...
<Xanatos> 6* Valen urges his horse over to the seller, slowing to a stop. Hello there.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The seller glances up at Valen
<Seraphna> * Kaelan clucks her tounge at Valen ignoring her and guides her horse over to his.
<Kit> 6Yewn looks at Wynne, sulking slightly, but can be seen grinning under the hood and pre-emptively attempts to tease Wynne. 1"Y'will nae get too heartbeatin' if we have someone s'close when we get playful, Wynnie?"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Oh, we'll think of somethin'
<Kit> 6Yewn jerks, her hood and cloak twitching.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Are you looking to purchase any steeds?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne motions at KAelan to put their supplies in the cart if they sell the horses. <Wynne> For only 10 copper!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Valen, lemme handle the sale."
<Seraphna> * Seth starts unloading their supplies into the cart at a nod from Kaelan.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes Kaelan and gives a slight shrug.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man shifts to eye Valen's horse,s ignoring Kaelan since Valen started the transaction
<Xanatos> 6* Valen also eyes Seth if he gets near his horse.
<Kit> <Yewn> R-R'member m'offah. Ah'll split th'difference o' the fancier d'tector if y'go find one. But ah get t'keep it when we reach Sinai!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Prolly should let him know I'm the one selling." *she offers*
<Xanatos> <Valen> They're her horses. So she can make the deal, I'm just inquiring if you're looking to purchase.
01<@DeathStar> <Man> Well, yer three horses are pretty new; those two pullin' the cart aren't. So, 20 gold each for yer three horses, and 10 gold each for the two cart horses
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers at her horses, then the man. "They're Oasian stock, finest plains horses to be found."
01<@DeathStar> <Man> Funny, they look to be Nagev. 6* He eyes Kaelan plainly
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man nods at the two cart horses. "Those are Oasian stock."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Those would be the ones I was talking about, the 'old' ones."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man eyes Kaelan. "Ye looked at yer own horses."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man crosses his arm; KAelan seems to be losing him
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne leans over to whisper to Yewn. "She's still green be'hind the ears."
<Kit> 6Yewn nods to Wynne. 1"She does nae e'en 'member us sayin' there's nae such thing as an Oasian horse. They're ah'll non-native."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I was thinking. I can see you're a man with fine eyes, however. And yes, the Nagev horses are rather new with little wear to their bones."
01<@DeathStar> <Man> My offer stands as it is.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen seems to be getting impatient.
<Kit> 6Yewn hops down and trots over, smiling under her hood. 1"Sir, sir, y'mind comin' o'er here fer a sec'?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man eyes Yewn. "Ah'm dealin' with this woman; it be her horses."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mine would be the ones you so aptly pointed out. We'll take the 20 each."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne leans forward to watch boredly
<Kit> <Yewn> Got somethin' ah'd like ye t'see, then y'can go 'bout y'ways. Kael, dear, hush up and stay there ah sec'
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man nods and his men take the reins and another man gives Kaelan the 60 gold
<Seraphna> * Kaelan takes it and then peers over at Yewn.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets off of his horse and takes his supplies off, he glances around looking for a place to rent now.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man eyes her. "And what be that? Are you goin' to be sellin' yer horses for 10 gold?" <Wynne> We'll have to do our transaction later; we got to carry the cart.
01<@DeathStar> 6* There's various inns, but Wynne shakes her head at Valen
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne waves a hand
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We're heading to the inns on the other side, Valen."
<Kit> 6Yewn can't clearly be seen under her cloak but she's shaking her head at Kaelan. 1"Aye, do th'paperwork later, but ah'll still do th'business now an' not waste more o' ye time, good sir."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and peers at Wynne, then waits. Alright.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne waved the hand for him to come to her
01<@DeathStar> <Man> And what business be that?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow and moves over to Wynne.
<Kit> <Yewn> Th'cart horses 'course.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne leans over. "While ah would have waited to sell the horses until we were ready with eithah nw ones or the serpent, we need to be gettin' rooms and supplies at the othah end of town; it will mean less trips and we will be usin' the cart to load all yer stuff.
<Seraphna> * Sadye finishes securing everything on the cart, having removes the last of it when the horses were collected.
01<@DeathStar> <Man> The offer stands at 10 gold for each horse
<Kit> <Yewn> That's why ah said paperwork later, Wynnie. We do nae want t'bother th'man twice. Can drop 'em off later.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> That way we limit strain on tha cart
01<@DeathStar> <MAn> I will pay you when you deliver them tomorrow
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man turns to go about his business
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ah. Sorry to jump the gun. I get focused on things sometimes and stop paying attention.
<Kit> 6Yewn tugs the man's sleeve. 1"C'mon. Still have nae shown ye."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man eyes her. "Then show it or be done with it; I'm not one for games."
<Kit> 6Yewn nods to him, leading the man to the two cart horses. 1"Ah trust y'could nae see the shine o' their hair from o'er there, no?"
01<@DeathStar> <Man> Tha offer is 10. Either take it or find another
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man, after making the one deal at his price, does not seem to be budging; Yewn can tell that attempting is wasting the story's time
<Kit> <Yewn> 'nother." 6She says simply. 1"Nae business is nae business."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Amusing how people try to haggle prices. It rarely works.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Though maybe it's just me... 6He muses.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man nods and moves to get the new horses settled in
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Well, ye all welcom' to hop on the cart to ride - for 5 copper
<Xanatos> <Valen> Pass. 6He turns and begins to walk.
<Kit> <Yewn> Fer less than twenty copper fer th'two o' 'em, ah could sell 'em t'butcher an get more from th'meat. Ten's redic'lous.
<Kit> nrp: gold
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne sighs, then leads the horses into the crowded streets; Valen would find the people of the streets moving back and forth, amking moving slow; while the cart people move aside for. Wynne trots ahead, taking the lead
<Seraphna> * Kaelan and Seth move to follow.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves alond beside the cart.
<Kit> 6Yewn's head turns about, keeping an eye on the activity and also looking for signs of the gypsies and whatnot.
<Kit> <Yewn> If y'too cheap t'ride, walk behind, pretty boy, fer y'get trampled.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The offer of 5 copper remains - since it isn't each person
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne peers at Kaelan and Seth to see if either of them hop on to take her deal
<Kit> <Yewn> Like th'sea o' water, th'sea o' people leaves a wake behind th'cart, but the waves ripple th'sides.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers at the list. "I can handle most of the basic items on my own. After a trip to the bank, so the mounts are the matter... and will you two get on.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'll be fine. I don't know how much everything will be and my funds are limited.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan climbs on the cart, taking the deal, Seth hops on.
01<@DeathStar> 6* People bump into Valen as he walks along
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne nods and smiles, taking the 5 copper since it was a group deal
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I can handle 5 copper, though I wish you'd waited on our mounts."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne peers at Kaelan fussing at Valen, raising a brow
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> What done is done; he already apologized
<Kit> <Yewn> On th' o'er side o' town they would nae be worth anythin' since o'er there only the desert types are needed.
<Xanatos> <Valen> She'll get over it.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "True, sorry."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I don't like the heat, lemme adjust."
<Kit> <Yewn> Also y'do th'deal in th'mornin' they'll notice y'keen on leavin' quick an' stall ye so y'sweat on th'offer.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Due to Valen's high perception, he would notice 10 gold is missing from his pouch after he got bumped
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and stops instantly, glancing around quickly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The crowd of people flow, making it impossible to tell who bumped into him
<Seraphna> * Sadye sniffs. "Hop on the cart Vale. It's long gone now."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Most walk down the street; while a few move into side streets
<Xanatos> 6* Valen turns and moves for those going in the side streets.
<Seraphna> * Sadye facepalms.
<Kit> <Yewn> S'how'd he fall fer Nephilim? She rob 'em blind like this?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne sighs and keeps going along; Valen would see the side streets has many vendors and about 20 people, 8 of which got off the main street. They walk along; ranging from young, about 6, to several in their late teens, to many in their twenties
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves along quietly, watching them carefully as he moves
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Let him, we'll get an inn, he can find his way back."
<Seraphna> Sadye> "But---"
01<@DeathStar> 6* 3 of them go into an inn that's there, 2 go into a quaint bar, and the other 3 stop at vendors, purchasing food with copper
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> How will 'e find ye?
<Kit> <Yewn> Meh... Take care o' th'kids, Wynnie." 6She crouches and leaps off the cart to the side.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We've got a way about us."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It's little Sadye here that can get lost."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne looks worried for Yewn, distractedly peering back; Accona is a massive city they would begin to see as htey travel, with many side roads and then other main roads, and buildings as far as they can see
01<@DeathStar> 6* The group in the cart would soon see large buildings, marking the church and it's worship areas, and the Digger Guild next to it.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen squints and peers from the bar to the inn, he hmms quietly and decides to abandon his search he turns and moves back out for the street before going towards the carriage again.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "And now we'll have to use Sadye to track..."
<Seraphna> Sadye> "I-I am not a houndbark."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Hush girl."
01<@DeathStar> 6* With Valen now on alert, his high perception would show him many thief like characters waiting; almost like they were a bit organized. Yewn probably would know about a Thief Guild in the capital, so no doubt there's a minor one here
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen would see a few people watching him; one even moves into the crowd to walk towards him to try bumping him
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts out of the way. Watch where you're going.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man curses his luck and continues; several more suspicious people go back to other targets after seeing Valen on alert.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves along again. Very oraganized. 6He mumbles.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen would see a pickpocketer heading for Yewn
<Kit> 6Yewn keeps moving toward Valen, though she cracks her right hand's knuckles.
01<@DeathStar> 6* No doubt, Valen could probably try to enter the mysterious guild with his thief techniques; perhaps Nephilim fnded it
01<@DeathStar> *founded
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts to trail the pickpocketer so that he can pickpocket that which is stolen from Yewn.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Yewn and Valen catch up finally in the middle of the busy highway; Valen can faintly feel Kaelan northward; the target, seeing Yewn and Valen heading toward each other, veers off and peers at a stall
01<@DeathStar> 6* He vows to try another day
<Kit> <Yewn> Aw. Was goin' t'charge 'em a fee fer tryin'.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and peers towards teh guy then motions. They're too organized here. Let's get back to the others. 6He begins to move north.
<Xanatos> NRP: Goddamn color codes.
<Kit> <Yewn> We'll get there. But y'owe me." 6She smiles up at him under her hood
01<@DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Wynne parks outside a cheap inn near the other side of town; there's plenty of food stores and vendors about, as well as weapon vendors, and item stores, the bank is near by, Phan and PHer tavern, and the Monster Hunter Guild is nearby
<Xanatos> <Valen> I owe you nothing. Unless you accept hugs. I can give those for free.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne shifts to talk to a man outside this particular inn, and hands him coins, shifting to lead her cart inside the inn's stables, and motioning Kaelan and Sadye out
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gets off the cart and stretches. "Alright, rooms first, then while Sadye unloads I'll get some gold and get stuff together."
<Kit> <Yewn> I wanna sticky bun. Do nae get honey much in Oas.
<Seraphna> * Sadye hops out after her.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Shouldn't your wife purchase you that?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne vanishes inside the stable, leaving the inn to them; she ties up the horses and gives the stable boy a silver coin to watch the horses, stepping out
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves into the inn, Sadye followuing, and looks for an innkeep.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen and Yewn pass a vendor selling fur -- fox fur
<Kit> <Yewn> Ah did nae hop off m'cart t'show m'wife th'way through a city she clearly ne'er been through 'fore.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The inn keep looks up, studying her. "How many rooms?"
<Kit> 6Yewn jerks at the sight, shivering.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Two."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man nods. "30 silver."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods, she digs out the silver and forks it over. "You do meals here?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Yewn. No offense but I can find my way. 6He pauses at her reaction and then glances to the fur, he frowns. I...
01<@DeathStar> <Man> No; there's a Phan and PHer Tavern across the street - their food is cheap
<Kit> <Yewn> Ah change m'mind. M'fee is t'carry me!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Thank you very much, my good man."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The inn keep nods, giving them their keys
<Xanatos> <Valen> Carry you? Okay. 6He holds out his arms.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne waits outside the inn for them
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and motions to Seth, handing her a key. "Get the stuff loaded." *Sadye nods and moves out, she pauses and waits, Kaelan stepping out, she nods to Wynne. "Got the rooms."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The streets remain crowded and busy; a noble person rides their horses by, and runs over an old woman and never looks back; his bodyguard turns and yells out for the 'stupid bitch to watch where she walks'. After they're gone, the crowd continues as if they saw nothing
<Kit> 6Yewn hops on Valen like an animal might. She's small and light, not quite as so as Nephilim, but noticeably less than a human.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen walks along quietly, though he's keeping very aware. I hope Rachael doesn't have problems here.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slowly glances to the scene and lets out a sigh. I see nobles are just as terrible here as anywhere else.
<Kit> <Yewn> Y-Y'lil sis?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes. 6He pauses and sets Yewn down then moves to help the old woman up.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The old woman looks dead; a city guard approaches, eyeing Valen. "You killed this woman?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> No I did not. She was trambled by horses.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The city guard eyes him and is about to say something when a vendor selling dried fruit says the same. He grunts, and grabs her body to drag off, muttering about peasants.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns and moves back to pick up Yewn and begin walking again. I hate cities.
<Kit> <Yewn> Ah do nae like 'em much m'self. Ah miss Oas ah'ready.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Luckily you'll be back out there before you know it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The vendor peers at Valen giving him no thanks and hmphs
<Kit> 6Yewn flips a copper to the vendor, knowing the benefit of no lingering feelings.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The vendor smiles and wishes her a good day
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks at Yewn and nods his thanks. T..thank you.
01<@DeathStar> 6* He then goes back to crying that ahis fruit is the best for the desert
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne, meanwhile, peers at Kaelan.
<Kit> <Yewn> Do nae mention it. Wynnie might get jealous.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> So, ah suppose ye are goin' to the bank?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks back at her and then moves for the bank.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yeah, I was hoping they'd get back to us."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ah'll wait on 'em
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'll have you get you that bun...thing.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Have Sadye bring your things up to the room."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves for the bank.
<Kit> <Yewn> Nae. Was jus' bein' greedy. An' that ne'er bodes well for a merchant. Y'carryin' me is good 'nough.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne just nods; after Kaelan has left to the bank and gotten whatever she will get, which she will inform the GM in the other room, Valen and Yewn arrive - a good hour later due to the business
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ah, thar ye be; ah was gettin' worried
<Xanatos> <Valen> This city is home to a thieves guild.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sets Yewn down now.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Terrible. 6* She looks up as Kaelan arrives with large bags of materials, gawking at her being able to carry such heavy loads
01<@DeathStar> 6* So far she hasn't found the store with the detector
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles. "Got most of it, we need the detector still."
<Kit> <Yewn> Yes, that's correct. Why ah came an' got ye.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ah; yes. They will be sel'lin one thar. 6* She points at a city offical building near the gate
<Xanatos> <Valen> I think Yewn and I have bonded and we are now bestest friends.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> But if ye take Yewn up on the black market one, she'd need to lead you
<Kit> <Yewn> Still chargin' ye fer services, boy.,
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne blinks, then beams. "Ye used my lessons?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grms. "We may want to go black market, I've got the gold on me I think, and the official building could have... artwork."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne lets Sadye carry their supplies to the cart
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Hav 'ye decided on horses or serpent? 6* The sun is already nearing the horizon
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Soon it will be dark
<Kit> <Yewn> Lend th'boy 'ere th'gold for a detector an' like ah said ah'll cover th'difference. Be easier t'take him 'lone than a group.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Serpent if we can. I'd prefer to find gypsies or hire it out instead of buying."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets an amused look. See?
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Okay; after this, we have no extra coin 'cept for good, Yewn.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne hands Kaelan an extra 150 gold.
<Kit> <Yewn> He looks like a thief 'imself so it'll be easier.
01<@DeathStar> *food
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> The gypses will be outside te gate itself.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well, sure, if Valen wants to. You know what the likely price will be?"
<Kit> <Yewn> Wynnie jus' gave it to ye.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "This is teh full cost?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks. "Okay."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Nay. It's the extra cost
<Xanatos> <Valen> 100 plus what they just gave you Kaelan. Sheesh.
<Kit> <Yewn> ... Ye listen bad fer merchant. Detector's 100 gold.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh, well then."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne shakes her head at Kaelan, sayin' she is very green
<Seraphna> * Kaelan flushes a bit and coughs, and hands Valen the 250 gold total.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's okay, she's learning. 6He messes Kaelan's heair.
<Kit> <Yewn> Ah'll see if ah can bring anythin' back, Wynnie." 6She sulks to her comment.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pockets the gold.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne kisses Yewn's cheek. "Be safe. Remember we nae have much now."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thieves in the area eye the gold exchange, watching Valen like a hawk
<Kit> <Yewn> That'll change!
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Let us speak with gypseys, Kaelan.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne heads for the gate, since it's almost dark
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers out at those eyeing him and nods to Yewn. Let's be careful.
<Kit> 6Yewn holds her hands out for Valen to carry her again.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan heads out with Yewn.
<Seraphna> * Wynne
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow and shifts around so she can hop on his back. I need to keep a hand on the gold.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne and Kaelan pass the desert horses on their way
<Kit> <Yewn> Wha' ye think ah'm doin'? Most o' it's ares. Ah know ah look tiny, but ah kin kick yer ass jus' fine.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm sure you can. 6He says in a neutral tone, not really seeming like he believes it, not but really being condescending either. Point the way please.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers about, considering, moving on her way with Wynne.
<Kit> 6Yewn shifts around an leaps up on him from the front. 1"'Sides, like this ah kin watch y'back, while y'lookin' forward. Head toward th'market center, westward path, down three roads an' take a left, two roads then take 'nother left, down th'stairs to th'ol' city 'neath.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The camera focuses on Wynne/Kaelan for now
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne and KAelan stand outside the city; for the first time, KAelan can see the scope of the desert, stretching as far as she can see in endless waves of sand. The hot air blows across it. To the side are the tents
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Gypseys. 6* She points at the tents set up; there's sounds of music and dancing coming from there
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It's like an ocean..." *she rubs her head* "Have I been here before...? Must have been... 10 years ago..." *she blinks and looks over, she nods and heads that way*
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they approach, some men step up to stop them, wearing gypsy desert outfits. They speak in a strange accent. "What be business here?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks, "I'm lookin' for transport."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men eye her, then wynne, then back. "For two?"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Nae; there be 5 of us and a large cart.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men eye each other, then Kaelan. "And do you have talisman?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Talisman?"
01<@DeathStar> <Men> If not have, then not ride. 6* They turn to go
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and slowly pulls out her mother's pendant, holding it up. "...I don't suppose this is a talisman?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* They eye it, then move to go
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What do they mean? Wait!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* They pause, eyeing KAelan again
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We really need to get across the sands... what... what price are you asking? I don't know what a talisman is besides some sort of decoration."
01<@DeathStar> <Man> If not know, then not worthy to ride, no matter price. <Man> We are hurting; could charge more. <First Man> ... 1000 gold
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We... don't have that much. D-Do you need to do something to earn this Talisman?"
01<@DeathStar> <Man> ... You should buy horses. 6* They turn and go back toward the tents. IT seems Kaelan can't convince them by begging; if only there was some way she could let them know of her connection to them.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Wait, please, there's something else."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men stop - she can tell this will be the last time so she better make it good
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What if I could prove I'm good for it without a talisman?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men walk off.
01<@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
01<@DeathStar> 6* After returning to the inn, they meet Valen and Yewn who have gotten the device.
<Xanatos> <Valen> So?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "They wanted some kind of talisman to ride with them..."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> She didn't have a gypsy talismen then used up all her chances trying to ask - gypseys only give you so many tries
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Sadly, they won't likely talk to us anymore
<Kit> <Yewn> Yea. Pretty strict 'bout th'three strikes law.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Can't one of the others...?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Talisman? I wonder if Nephilim has one.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Hm; if Kaelan could have prove she was a friend of Nephilim, and she did have one, they might have let us ride
<Kit> <Yewn> Prob'ly. Like ah said, she dresses like 'em keeps a curved knife on 'er like they do.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...! That was it?"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Oh well; let us buy the horses
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> We'll need two for the cart, and ah suppose unless ya want to share, 3 for you all
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well I may share now if you wouldn't mind. Yewn and I have bonded.
01<@DeathStar> <Yewn> She rides on the cart
01<@DeathStar> 6* Ye*Wynner
<Xanatos> <Valen> O-Oh. 6He lets otu a sigh.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Horses will cost, what, a hundred each?"
<Kit> <Yewn> Wynnnieeee.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Aye; so 200 for ours, 300 for ya's
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Sadly, a Serpent King would cost 500, too, and be safah
01<@DeathStar> 6 *Wynne sighs
01<@DeathStar> *Sand Serpent, even
<Kit> <Yewn> Ah wanna know what that medallion looks like!
<Kit> <Yewn> If it's ah coin ah got t'have 'un.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan considers. "Okay, what resources do we have?"
<Kit> 6Yewn bugs Wynne from the side.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne pulls Yewn's tail gently to distract her
<Xanatos> <Valen> Resources?
01<@DeathStar> 6* The banks will close soon; but since they're sleeping the night, they can always get their money out in the morning
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We could probably afford the serpent, if we pool money."
<Kit> 6Yewn squeals, then pouts.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> That option be gone
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Is it totally? Valen could make the sale couldn't he? We didn't introduce him."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns. "I think I might even have what we need, now that I know it's Nephilim."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Once they see you they would feel betrayed Kaelan.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Ye would try to trick them by showing up after he makes the sale?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "True..."
<Kit> <Yewn> Well, there's one redeemin' factor.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> *she looks down* "What...?"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> And if ye suddenly go back, even though they would not speak, and say ye know Nephilim now, instead of at the beginning, they would be suspicious
<Kit> 6Yewn walks over and tugs on Valen's cheeks. 1"We have 'er lover, eh?"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Though it be more dangerous, we will have more chances to use de'tec'tor for coin
<Xanatos> <Valen> I-I'm not s..so sure I would s...say lover.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne looks fond at the idea
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Let us get 500 gold out of Kaelan's account in the morn then buy the horses
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I guess... I did fail."
<Kit> <Yewn> Ah do nae care 'bout th'serpent. Ah wan' one o' them coins." 6She rubs her hands.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne guides Yewn toward the tavern to eat to distract her
01<@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Kit> <Yewn> We jus' make it clear we're not fishin' fer their help this time. Y'can let 'em know Nephilim is where y'goin' isn' she? They might like t'know..!
01<@DeathStar> Location: Other Team
01<@DeathStar> 6* After 2 hours, the group reaches the desert. There are some tents set up, the gypseys that are there as a way point for sand serpents to rest
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks amazed. "You were right; they were here as you said."
<Seraphna> Sia> "Nephilim knows lots."
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> ... I can't believe you want us to ride on some... serpent.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane hides her ears and tail, though it's clearly bristling under cloak since it can be seen at times
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaji rers curiously as men approach them.
<Seraphna> Sia> "You really don't like serpents."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal drinks more water, panting
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose drinks her own water, then mimics panting
<Seraphna> * Sia pets Kaji and hides her under a shawl, shushing her gently.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses and covers himself up.
<Kit> <Nephilim> They're not like the serpent kings, Gemane.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim quietly stands there behind Aschae. Jean rushes out into the sand, then kneels; the gypseys stare in awe as she finds the sand serpent's hiding spot in the sand. She begins to pet what looks to be a bound of sand
<Seraphna> * Sia giggles and moves over to her. "Jean found a new friend?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The mound, even, shakes and a head rises up from it; it looks like a dragon in some ways, but it's very wide and long, with harnesses on it's back for people to sit, and places to tie lats of supplies
<Kit> <Nephilim> Aw, geez, Jean." 6She walks over toward the gypsies, holding up her hand.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The gypseys hold up their's. "Greetings under the sun." 6* They hold up their talismen and wait for Neph to hold up her's
<Xanatos> 6* Tal sniffs a few times, then jerks back at the serpent growling.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane makes a throaty growl, too. Kaji looks fascinated, poking her head back out
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose eyes Tal, then growls
<Kit> <Aschae> ...It looks a bit like a shelltoise.
<Seraphna> Sia> "Kaji dear..."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Fascinating creature
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaji gets free and flaps over to the sand serpent, rering at it; it rears it's huge head at her and looks at her
<Kit> 6Nephilim reaches up, tilting the inside of her bandana out a bit, a twice-scratched coin there.
<Seraphna> Sia> "S-Sweetie!" *she reaches out and grabs Kaji, pulling her back, she croons a little*
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men nod and lean forward to kiss Nephilim's cheeks. "Welcome, sister." 6* Some of the women move out to greet them. <Man> You are here to ride the sand serpent for 500 gold?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaji makes a noise but lets herself be pulled back
<Kit> <Nephilim> Phew, still charging the good pile I see." 6She chuckles.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal backs up a few steps. Want to walk. WANT to walk.
01<@DeathStar> <Men> Our people have expenses. 6* He says jokingly. Gemane touches the sand, making a face. "Hot."
<Kit> 6Aschae baps Tal lightly with the end of her staff.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean pets the creature, talking to it in her own language.
<Seraphna> * Sia kisses her head. "That's a Sand Serpent sweetie." She waves at the Serpent.
<Xanatos> 6Tal jerks and shows his teeth to Aschae.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim pauses and touches Tal's shoulder. "Please forgive Mistress."
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> You may bite me instead
<Kit> <Nephilim> I suppose I won't ask for a discount this time. Not alone." 6She gestures. 1"I don't have the coin on me, but I'll make good at Sinai, if that's alright. I'll pay the fair, so don't worry about the rest running off or whatever."
<Seraphna> Sia> "Tal, no biting!"
<Kit> 6Aschae jerks back herself and sulks her ears some and eyes the ground.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane pets Aschae's ear.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim jerks at Aschae's reaction, then lowers her head. "Please hit my head for making you sad."
<Xanatos> 6Tal glances to Seraphim and doesn't say much. He moves over to the sand, eyeing Sia like he might bite her if she calls him down again.
<Kit> <Aschae> It's not that... Seraphim> You're fine.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose peers about, growling at people
<Seraphna> * Sia frowns at him. Putting her hands on her hips with Kaji in her cleavage. She puffs her cheeks.
<Kit> <Aschae> Rose.
01<@DeathStar> <Man> We trust you; we will wait for payment until you can afford it
01<@DeathStar> 6* The women hug Nephilim, asking how she ahs been and if she will join their dancing
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose peers at Aschae
01<@DeathStar> 6* JEan sits on the sand serpent's head and it moves it about like it's a ride. The men stare in awe. <Man> Is she a serpent tamer?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim gives Aschae a hug, then stands there quietly, not talking anymore
<Kit> <Nephilim> Something like that.
<Kit> 6Nephilim smiles at the women, returning hugs and cheek kisses. 1"I-If you insist."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose growls at Aschae, assuming it's appropriate
<Kit> <Aschae> Rose." 6She repeats sternly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas watches Nephilim; Gemane, curious, walks over as Nephilim is led to a fire where women are doing exotic dancing. Jean hops down and rushes to join them, moving to dance like them.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose quiets and peers down
<Xanatos> 6* Tal frowns at the sand being hot and grumbles, eyeing the Serpent like one would an enemy.
<Seraphna> * Sia waves at Jean. "Serpent is a nice creature."
<Seraphna> * Sia heads after Jean.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane raises a brow, watching the dancing, smirking as Nephilim joins in. "Look at her go. Aschae, join them."
<Seraphna> * Sia smiles and hops in to join the dancing, holding Kaji to help her dance with them.
<Kit> 6Nephilim stays dressed, as lots of the gypsies do, using her shawls and such as scarves to dance with. Aschae tilts her head at Gemane and nods. 1"Alright master." 6And rises, but watches them for a bit to get an idea of what to do.
<Xanatos> 6Tal just watches the dances with a glum expression.
<Kit> 6Aschae starts to mimic the dance about the fire, though with considerably less clothing, swaying her hips and body, hands often overhead.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane shifts to dance as best she can with her clothes on; Rose stares, then mimics it, pulling her cloak off to show her hips and stomach and legs and arms
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim sits up Tal and looks at him, offering a piece of meat
<Kit> 6Nephilim eyes her and shifts over near, sneaking in pokes and prods at her sides and back and stomache, making her jerk but slowly correcting the mistakes in her dance.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean dances her body, arms up and moving it
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses and takes the meat. ...thank you.
<Seraphna> * Sia watches, then dances like Jean, trying it out, shaking her hips, wriggling her body.
<Kit> 6Aschae looks rather timid as she tries the dance, not nearly as fluid or graceful, obviously not practiced in it, but having high charisma, whereas Nephilim has the best of both worlds, the agility in her body to shine in this kind of thing.
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> You are welcome
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane shifts and dances with Aschae, moving her body with her and winking to encourage her
<Kit> 6Aschae blinks, pausing to color slightly in the cheeks, but starts to move her body back against her, her bangles and anklets jingling as her ears twitch and she smiles a bit, realizing no one's eyeing them for doing "risque" dancing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane smiles back and her own braclets make jingling to the beat as she contiues the dance closer without touching, her tail swishing a bit under the cloak. Jean dances with Sia, showing her how to move her hips and body, going low then up
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose mimics them all, gracefully moving as if she were born to dance, twirling her body and doing moves that show her limberness
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> I am quite jealous; I can't dance
<Xanatos> <Tal> Have you tried? 6He eats the Meat.
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> Well, n-no. There was no dancing allowed while being a priestess.
<Xanatos> <Tal> Try then. You could surprise yourself.
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> I-I wouldn't know how to begin
<Xanatos> 6* Tal gets to his feet and holds out a hand.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim pauses, then takes it, standing up slowly; she keeps her hood on to hide her red eyes and unusual hair color
<Xanatos> 6* Tal peers at them to see how they're dancing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* It seems to be an exotic belly dance
<Xanatos> 6* Tal rubs his nose slightly and then reaches out to hold her hands up. Now keep those up and sway your lower half like a serpent king.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim keeps her hands up as instructed, then sways her lower half slowly back and forth, flustering a bit. "I--I look dumb I bet...I am not sexy like Aschae and Gemane."
<Xanatos> <Tal> Feel the music. Move with with it. 6He takes a step back to watch her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim pauses, trying to listen to the beat and move her hips awkwardly; she seems to not quite get the groove and right beat, but she does move her body nicely - she would do well with no music and just wiggling
<Xanatos> <Tal> Trouble feelin the music. But sexy movin!
01<@DeathStar> <Seraphim> T-Thank you
<Xanatos> <Tal'Ka> You're welcome.

<@Kaelan> * Sia plays with Jean's hair. "Pretty pretty gold~" She seems a little tipsy from the drinking.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Nephy like gold
<@Kaelan> Sia> "Lotsa gold. Maybe we should get her gold undies."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Hehe, okay
03* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kaelan
<@Kaelan> Sia> "Actual gold or goldish shiney?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Shiny
<@Kaelan> * Sia nods and plays with her hair more. "Like Mistress Jeanie."
<Kit> 6Nephilim leans in, squinting. 1"You know, I can hear you."
<@Kaelan> Sia> "Nephie has cute ears!"
<Kit> <Nephilim> Panties made of gold would be uncomfortable.
<@Kaelan> Sia> "Pretty though!"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Silk gold?
<@Kaelan> Sia> "Silky gold."" *nods*
<Kit> <Nephilim> Gold dye would be fitting." 6She sniffs.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Yay
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs Nephilim
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean will get you gold silk panties for Valen!
<@Kaelan> * Sia giggles.
<Kit> 6Nephilim reels slightly. 1"D-Don't kid around! I'll make you wear a thread bikini!"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Okay!
01<@DeathStar> 6* JEan smiles, clueless
<Kit> 6Nephilim almost falls over.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> J-I look forward to it!
<Kit> 6Nephilim walks off, laughing eerily.
<@Kaelan> Sia> "What's a thread bikini?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean not know!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Gemane watches Nephilim
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> You would look good in one
