01<@DeathStar> Date: The next day
01<@DeathStar> Location: Oas, morning
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel, make in control, puts on more practical clothing, Jean having gotten into a oasian outfit. Rachael stretches, having eat a small meal that was served.
<@Seraphna> * Sia helps her, putting away the Oasian clothing for later. She smiles a little.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sits crosslegged out in a patch of grass, smoking some strange weed from a pipe that he must've traded something for.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> That peaceweed/
<kalonZombie> *Leruste stretches as well, cracking his back "Man if I could pay to sleep like that every night I'd be more broke than I am now"
<@Seraphna> * Seth mumbles, rousing, a belt around his head like a drinking tie, stretching.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans in to sniff
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances over to her and glances to it slightly. I'm not sure. I was told it's a nice, sweet weed.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth walks out in casual garments, since they still have some time to go
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hmmm... I should buy some. 6* She taps her chin mischeviously
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes hers. And why is that?
<@Seraphna> * Seth sits up, eying a large melon he was cuddling. "...I thought my drinking buddy seemed a little too stoic."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste walks over to grab some food and starts eating
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hee, a girl has to have her secrets
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita leaps onto Leruste to sniff him curiously
<Xanatos> <Valen> Like staying in a hut with that man child?
<@Seraphna> * Sia kisses Kaji's head and feeds her bits of meat. "How is my little one this morning?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> That wasn't secret. We just slept.
<@Seraphna> * Seth wanders over to sit next to Valen, peering at the pipe. "...Didn't know you had this kinda side to you buddy."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaji gobbles it up, looking bigger today
<Xanatos> 6* Valen watches her for a moment before looking ahead. It's not a side of me that you will see often.
<@Seraphna> * Sia sniffs her a nd prods her belly. "Are you getting bigger sweetie? Or did you have another snack?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Did you and Nephilim sleep together? And I don't mean mating
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaji rers
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ...
<kalonZombie> *Leruste walks over to Rachael "He thinking I was less than honorable again?"
<Eluere> 6Nephilim sneaks over to hide in some tall grass and spy
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I guess so.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers and sneaks around behind Nephilim
<@Seraphna> Seth> *currently male* "Should let it out a little more, I sometimes fear you are incapable of a smile."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans over and tickles Valen
<@Seraphna> * Seth puts the melon in Valen's lap.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I am shocked. Shocked and appalled. Shocked, appalled, and slandered.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at them all, then pets a horse
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Does my big brother think so little of me? Hm?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks and makes a noise, figeting, then gets a melon to the cock and groans.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I trust you just fine. It's him that I do not.
<@Seraphna> * Sia pokes her and giggles. Then focuses, "Be honest to me little one, you didn't eat anyone did you sweetie? Monsters and food are okay, people aren't."
01<@DeathStar> <Kaji> Rer!
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Val, I promise, I'm not doing anything that Rach doesn't want me to do.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "I think he likes replacement Zeal. He groaned."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I know you're just being a big brother, and it's fine, but I'm being serious. Rachael is setting the pace here, not me.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers at the melon, then Seth.
<@Seraphna> * Sia kisses her head. "Okay dear. Remember if you eat someone, Momma will be unhappy."
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Well... it's only one melon, but it makes me think of her for some reason."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> H-Hey! don't mock Zeal's melons!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita leaps on Nephilim
<@Seraphna> * Seth smiles. "I-I would never! I use them all the time!"
<Eluere> 6Nephilim sighs, totally failed stealth
<@Seraphna> Seth> "...I-In the sense of as a form molding."
<@Seraphna> Seth> "...That wasn't meant to sound sexual."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> But it did. That's what makes it funny.
<@Seraphna> * Sia trots over to the others. "What's funny?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Not sure it's quite as large. 6He notes, then glances to Leruste and Rachael. I'm doing my best to BE a good sibling and mind my own business, Rachael is an adult and is capable of doing as she wishes, but it seems as if you two are moving fast. At least that's my opinion.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm... bigger..." *she shifts into Zeal to compare with the melon*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I understand Val. I know this kinda put some bumps on our friendship, but I can promise I have nothing but the utmost respect for Rach.
<@Seraphna> Laez> "What do you think Valen?" *she pushes Zeal's breasts out and holds the melon up to them*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Friendship. 6He says and takes a draw from the pipe, peering back toward Nephilim slightly. Hm. Close. 6He says, glanicng to Seth.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes Valen, then moves over to pet the horses, talking to them, not whispering
<@Seraphna> * Sadye shifts to her default female looks, then smirks a bit. Apparently pleased that Valen is getting the humor now.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste sits next to Val "So, I understand you raised Rachael"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Leruste. Since our parents deaths.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> We should get ready to move; finish up your 'business'. 6* She notes simply to the talking group
<@Seraphna> * Sia blushes heavily, she prances over to Rachael. "Think the Horsies are well rested?"
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Must have been rough. I was an only kid, both parents... but I think I'm beginning to see what that's like *He looks over at Parita
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Then seem to be in good spirit and health
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita hangs on Neph's back telling her to geddy up
<@Seraphna> * Sia smiles and leans over, petting one and whispering kindly to it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaji eyes the horse hungerily
<@Seraphna> * Sadye gathers up her things.
<@Seraphna> * Sia looks to Kaji and whispers to her. "No, horsies are for going places, not food. Momma has food for her baby."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Angel walks over to the horses and waits.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaji rers; Sia would notice her food pack is nearly depleted
<kalonZombie> *Leruste gets up and holds a hand out to Val, offering him help to get up
<@Seraphna> * Sia raises a brow. "I need to get more food... I think Kaji got into it."
<@Seraphna> * Sia bops Kaji's head. "Only what momma gives, little one."
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's even harder when the world it out to take advantage of you. 6He gets to his feet on his own, never one to do excessive touching. he puts out the pipe and pockets it. 
<@Seraphna> * Sadye sighs and gets more food for Sia's pack if she can, bringing it over. Sia starts to mount up.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You realize in order to grow large, it needs more than you give it; unless you want it to grow up puny compared to it's kind
<Eluere> 6Nephilim jogs about for Parita's sake
<@Seraphna> * Sia blinks, "Should I start feeding it monsters we find?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves over the horses and nods to Rachael, motioning off to the side. May we speak for a moment?
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Oasian people wave at them; even Mel is there. Parita giggles and kisses Neph's cheek, hopping onto Rachael's horse once Rachael climbs up
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah, I can't even imagine. *He walks side by side with him "I didn't have to deal with the real world until I was 14, you've dealt with it your whole life
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> At the next stop. The angel is impatient to get moving. 6* She taps her mark location
<kalonZombie> *He looks at Mel, and waves, still feeling guilty about what he did
<Xanatos> <Valen> Fair enough. 6He glances to Leruste. It may be why I'm not as 'fun' as most. 6he moves to his horse and gets on.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye loads Sia's pack and moves over to Rachael's horse. Sia motions to the Angel so she can help her up.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Nephilim to see if she'll ride with him this time.
<@Seraphna> Sia> "We will have to start teaching you to hunt so you can grow up to be a big and mighty Queen."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste heads to Rachael's horse and hops up, getting better at it
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel shifts to climb onto Sia's horse
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> It may help
<Eluere> 6Nephilim shifts and leaps up in one go onto the horse with Valen.
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "I'll help ye, Sia. I know a bit of monster behavior and I definately know how to hunt em."
<@Seraphna> * Sadye climbs up to join Rachael, Leruste and Parita.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles at her moving to wrap her arms around his waist.
<@Seraphna> Sia> "Mmm... should we stick with these three horses or get more? We are loading the poor things up a bit and we'd move faster with more..."
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> So what's the ocean look like, old lady?
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "We have taken quite a bit from Oas as is..."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste wraps his arms around Rachael's "Maybe at the rate I'm going, your brother will finally trust me in... five years, give or take a month
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> We are not far from the next city; no need to deprive them of more
<@Seraphna> * Sadye nods and looks pleased, perhaps feeling beholden to Oas due to Swift.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael gives Leruste a small smile, then looks aheade, shaking her head to hide her ears, then takes off at a quick pace that isn't too strenous for the horse
<@Seraphna> * Sia leads her horse forward.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes the two and then glances around. Aren't we forgetting Lenneth and Aschae?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth is speaking with the chief leader, then eyes the horse set up so she won't be riding with Aschae.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gives a whistle to Sia.
<@Seraphna> * Sia slows her horse and halts it, looking at Valen. "Mmm?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> You're forgetting Aschae and Lenneth. Let the Angel ride with me so that they may travel together. 6He moves his horse up beside hers.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Works for me.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Smoothing things over with him will take more than some bad jokes... which means I need some new material *He smiles, knowing at least half their family appreciates his humor
<@Seraphna> * Sia blinks and pouts a bit, she looks at the Angel. "If you want to."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel shifts to stand on Sia's horse and leaps off behind Nephilim, sitting down and putting her arms around her waist and griping her breasts
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth bows to the angel and Sia, then helps Aschae up
<@Seraphna> * Sia helps them up. Her smile returning.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gives them all a nod and clicks a few times to signal the horse onward, moving to catch up to Rachael.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Thank you, master.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You know-- that's not actually how you hold on..
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth pulls herself up behind Aschae and holds her waaist
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Valen is .... Valen. 6* She notes softly
<Xanatos> <Valen> It seems fine with me.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I feel quite secure holding these
<@Seraphna> * Sia moves the horse on when the two are on secure enough, she croons to Kaji.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste almost tries doing the same, but thinks better of it with Valen right there and actually trying to prove he's not scum just trying to get into his sister's pants
01<@DeathStar> -sCENE SHIFTU-
01<@DeathStar> Location: Not Kalon
01<@DeathStar> 6* It's a new morning up north. Lilica groans in her inn bed with a hang over from 'getting info at the tavern' the night before; her tail looks pathetic as she does
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas nudges Zeal awake in their shared bed. Mercy walks in, not minding either naked, and moves to get Zeal prepared
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan is up early, dressed, a habit she's started forming due to being with Mercy.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Morning... Mercy..." 6She yawns.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal lets out a yawn sound, laying on the floor curled up.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows and picks Zeal up and moves into her a tub area of warm water. "This will help you be clean after a night of sex."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne greedily counts their profits in the lobby
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan finishes getting dressed and stretches, she heads down to the lobby, putting her hair up.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Hello, coin producing unit.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal stretches and sits up, making a slight sound when he shifts a certain way before looking to the bed. Lil hangover?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose pokes at Lil's tail; Lil groans in response, her ears drooped down
<Xanatos> <Tal> See Rose? Drinking dangerous
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan grins. "Morning Wynne dear." *she moves over and kisses her forehead* "Sleep well in your bed of gold?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> M-Mercy... jeez...
<Eluere> <Yewn> We don't have one yet.
<Eluere> <Yewn> It's on th'list, though.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles. "So... do we have all our supplies taken care of?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Will remember.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> And a pool of gold, too
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes, mistress? 6* She begins to wash Zeal thoroughly - everywhere. With one hand she hands Zeal her morning cup of non-birth herbs mixed in water
<Xanatos> 6* Tal hehs and gets to his feet. Hungryyy. 6He groans, rubbing his stomach with his good hand.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Yes. We bought everything you will need - that will be 10 gold
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose mimics Tal. "Fooood." <Lilica> Ungh, don't mention....food...
<Xanatos> <Tal> MEAT!
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "Alrighty then." *she gets it out* "If you keep this up I'm hoping I'll see Wynne & Yewn's supply shops whereever we go."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan playfully clinks each coin down in front of Yewn, making sure they coins shine.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica groans
<Xanatos> 6* Tal moves over and sniffs Lilica slightly. Should come get water, maybe find medicine.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> You may have the honor, Yewn
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Yes...get...medicine...herb...maid...
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Find information? <Lilica> I found what---wasteland...ale is..
<Xanatos> <Tal> Just drunk. Shame shame. 6He hmphs then goes to find Mercy, sniffing her out.
<Eluere> 6Zeal blinks, biting her lip at Mercy then murmurs, downing the concoction.
<Eluere> <Yewn> ... mrr..." 6She yes the coins. Then collects them.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles and pets Yewn's ear. "So cute."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Tal would arrive at Zeal's room
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> I love her!
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> She said she trained under a mystifae master called Gemane!
<Xanatos> 6* Tal thumbs on the door like a big ol man would.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Gem is a friend of ours."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy finishes washing Zeal up and helps her out of the water, drying her; Thomas, dressed, opens it a little so he can see without them seeing Zeal
<Xanatos> NRP: thumps*
<Xanatos> <Tal> Need medicine maid for hungover Lilica.
<Eluere> <Yewn> ..." 6She shivers at mention of Gemane
<Eluere> <Zeal> Yes, Thomas?
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> They need Mercy to tend to Lilica; she's hungover
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Should I go, mistress?
<Xanatos> 6* Tal thumbs Thomas up, wiggling his brow then moves to go downstairs.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Nice lady really." *she giggles and finishes toying with Yewn's ear* "Well, I better check on the wife, can you see about horses that can handle the chill."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Oh, alright. Thank you, Mercy.
<Eluere> <Yewn> For a fee.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Of course."
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> We're on it!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne pulls Yewn off to get their fee
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy lays out Zeal's clothing like she were a child, and moves out and into Lilica's room to treat her; Rose follows Tal for food
<Xanatos> 6* Tal sniffs around, looking for food for himself and Rose.
<Eluere> 6Zeal purses her lips a bit, but then gets dressed to join Thomas.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan moves back upstairs and looks around, peering into Lilica's room. She nods to Tal on the way.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Tal's nose leads him to the tavern
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses. Don't have money.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas puts his only arm around her. "So far there's no leads on the ruins, so I plan to head for the stone in the forest and see if we can find any clues there; if not we can simply use the stone to catch up to the angel and get her help."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Alright." 6She eyes his other missing and frowns.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Anything wrong?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne sneaks over to Tal
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Everything alright dear?"
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> I can loan you coins on interest
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes; just treating Lilica. 6* She grinds up herbs like Zeal taught her
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan moves over and takes a seat by them. "Mmm, did she discover Wasteland Ale?"
<Xanatos> 6* Tal tilts his head. Interest?
<Eluere> <Zeal> ... I'm sorry." 6She hangs her head.
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Ungh...don't say that name
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Yes; every day you don't pay me back the amount, you owe me a little more
<Xanatos> 6* Tal jerks. C-Can't just borrow without interest!?
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Hey, I'll give a good interest rate; half a copper a day.
<Xanatos> <Tal> I have no coppers and no way of getting more though!
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Monsters drop them
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Go beat some up later
<Eluere> <Yewn> Yeah. Y'look strong, s'use it o' lose it, puppy.
<Xanatos> <Tal> ... 6He fidgets and glances to Rose.
<@Seraphna> * kaelan giggles and pets her ear comfortingly. "You'll be fine. Next time you want to drink around here, tell me. I learned a lot about the drinks in teh Wastes from soldiers."
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Food... 6* She gives him pretty eyes
<Xanatos> 6* Tal hrms and nods twice. Tal owe with interest.
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Ungh.... 6* Her ears remained drooped, but her tail thumps occassionally
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne grins and laughs
01<@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
01<@DeathStar> 6* After they've all eaten and Mercy covering Tal's bill to Wynne, who sulks in the corner, Thomas gets the meeting together. Lilica lays across Tal and Rose's laps, her ears still down, but she looks chipper
<Xanatos> 6* Tal rubs Lilica's head idley as he waits for Thomas to begin, having already hugged Mercy till she squeeked.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan sits with Mercy, hugging her too, though a little more gently and a little more fondily.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy is blushing still and touching Tal's tail as her reward
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Since we can't get any information, we should head into the forest and work our way to the stone we arrived here from the main church. Tal, you should run into the Hunter guild before we go and get a list of jobs we can try to finish while there.
<Xanatos> <Tal> Aye, aye sir Tom.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan considers. "I know it might be risky, but have we tried asking any of the guards? They may know ruins areas as places to avoid."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> It's unlikely; the church has no dig site here because no ruins have been found
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> The forest is thick and dangerous with monsters; travelers stick to the main roads except when teams of highly armed hunters venture out
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan nods a little, licking her lips a bit. "If they don't even know... then I guess we do have to try this the hard way..." *she frowns a bit* "Why would the Angel send us when she knows she's the one who gets the pull?"
<Xanatos> <Tal> Wanted thin her ranks. We less important.
<Eluere> 6Yewn comforts Wynne, assuring her there will be other debters.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I do not think so; I believe she trusts in our abilities. For example
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan considers. "Well, when we get to these ruins... I can probably tell you how close to the wastes we are... if that helps."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Zeal and Kaelan know the area well, even if their expertise is more to the north in the wastelands; Tal's senses will be of aid in the forest. Rose is a good fighter and has mysterious abilities we do not know yet
<Xanatos> 6* Tal smirks at the compliment.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Mine is more south... I only travelled to the wastes when I had to.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan kisses Mercy's cheek. "And there's no one better at keeping a party healthy, in good spirits, and well fed as my wife."
<Xanatos> <Tal> Will run to Hunter Guild. Get jobs. Fast! 6he pats Lilica, to have her sit up so he can go.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy flushes
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> W-What's my use?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica sits up
<Xanatos> <Tal> Drunk. 6He guffaws. Then stands up and runs out.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm sure you have many hidden talents to show us... this... Mystifae thing that Gem used."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica narrows her eyes
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks. "No...?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* She is glaring at Tal
01<@DeathStar> -MINI TIME JUMP-
01<@DeathStar> 6* After gathering their horses together at the entrance to the forest, and oweing the two girls another 50 gold, Wynne and Yewn get their cart ready to follow them in
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks over the monster listing
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Mostly B rank missions, a few A rank, and one S rank
<Xanatos> <Tal> What difference? 6He shifts his horse slightly, looking awkward slightly still.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> A is harder than B; S is for only experienced hunters
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas shifts onto his horse and pulls Zeal up onto it
<Xanatos> <Tal> Tal S?
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "S rankes are best, they pay the most... but yeah, really dangerous. We've fought some S class in our time."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose and Lilica lay on the back of Yewn's cart
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Only as a group could we beat an S
<Xanatos> <Tal> We group!
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan gets on a horse. "Aye. Fight like a team and use everything we got... we don't have our usual aid to prevail."
<Eluere> <Zeal> We finished a rank A before...
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan gets on a horse, pulling Mercy up onto it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy gets onto Kaelan's horse with her
<Xanatos> <Tal> Lilica can you do arm numb thing like Gemane?
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, if we come across the S ranked Gorgona we will try to take it down
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Yes. 6* She leans over and grabs Tal's arm, adjsuting the nerves
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Any information on it?"
<Xanatos> <Tal> Ooh. Will help if fight S rank.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> It eats horses whole it says.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Ick."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes the A ranked ones. "We should probably stick to the master tigroars that are A ranked."
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Agreed. I like keeping horses alive for a change."
<Xanatos> <Tal> Master?
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> It's a nickname for a larger, more vicious type. 6* Soma mewls
<Eluere> <Zeal> Gorgona... I think that is a beast we beat before.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm sure when Soma grows up he will be Tigroar King."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma looks proud
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> T-They aren't serious about S rank monsters a-are they Yewn?
<Xanatos> <Tal> Tal and Rose will fight anything!
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "We'll try and avoid them though. I don't want anyone getting hurt."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose yawns and nods, looking full on her meal
<Xanatos> <Tal> When...she not have meat belly.
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Rose think forest pretty. 6* She paws at the air as they begin to enter the dark woods. Thomas uses glowstones to illuminate better as they ride in
<Eluere> <Zeal> It is.. but I prefer the grasslands.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan peers about as they ride, holding Mercy protectively as she guides the horse.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal sniffs as they move about, keeping alert for dangerous smells.
01<@DeathStar> 6* A leaf floats down and Rose paws it crazily. Lilica eyes her.
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> She's worse then some Azuha.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Really?
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Yes; some chase their tails and bat at pretty things
<Eluere> <Zeal> Like Ms. Yewn and her coins?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Zeal chases stuffed animals.
<Eluere> 6Zeal jerks, eyeing Nephilim.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy leans over and gives Zeal her medication
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan, not hallucinating Nephilim, looks about still.
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Yes, like her. <Mercy> Well, mistress does chase after new stuffed animals in every town; her bag is full of them
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose pauses, then opens Zeal's bag in the cart
<Eluere> <Zeal> M-Mercy..!
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> W-Was that meant to be a secret?
<Xanatos> <Tal> Why stuff animals!?
<Eluere> 6Zeal flusters, peering away.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "They're cute, like Soma."
01<@DeathStar> 6* soma looks jealous
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "I think that's why she likes Soma so much, he's like a little stuffed animal right now, later he'll be a big, strong one."
<Xanatos> <Tal> Poor dead animals.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose pulls out some toys she bought in Kalah; they all look like woodland animals. She begins to cuddle it
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I love you, Zeal
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Can I keep? 6* She points at them all
<Eluere> <Zeal> They're not real animals, Tal'Ka!!
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan rides on quietly, peering about as they move still.
<Eluere> <Zeal> I ... s-sew some of them.
<Xanatos> <Tal> Oh. Sound silly.
<Eluere> 6Zeal puffs her cheeks childishly.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm, can you make one for me Zeal?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> I want one!
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Make me a fox one
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma sulks more
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Soma still the cutest."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Th-That's a lot to make..
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head. "So I want one like Soma."
<Xanatos> <Tal> Soma great beast friend of Tal'Ka!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma looks proud at the two
<Eluere> 6Zeal scratches Soma's ear, shaking her head.
01<@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
01<@DeathStar> Date: 2 days later
01<@DeathStar> Location: Kalon Team
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers out at, the shape of the port city appearing slowly; a massive sized city along side a large blue. Parita climbs up Leruste to get a look
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> That the ocean!?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I don't know, you're pushing my head down!
<@Seraphna> * Sia squees. "I missed the ocean!"
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Good; you can build us a boat
<Xanatos> <Valen> Build one?
<@Seraphna> * Sia giggles. "Sure. Gonna need lotsa manpower though."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste picks Parita up and holds her high so he can get a look at the ocean as well
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> If we continue to pay for ship rides, we will go broke
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> We only need one to fit our team
<Xanatos> <Valen> Sia knows how to build a ship, though?
<@Seraphna> * Sia smiles. "My father is a Shipwright, I've learned his craft. Mmm... I'll need timber... rope..." *she starts listing out what's needed for a schoon big enough or the team*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hm. Impressive.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Geez, that's a lot of water
<@Seraphna> * Sia blushes a bit. "I-I'm probably not as good as Daddy... you've probably ridden on one of his before."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Doubtful, I don't...sail much.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye smiles a bit, sniffing the air. "Chillier by the sea sometimes... I like the chill."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> We have the time to make a boat from scratch..?
<@Seraphna> Sia> "I'll need the boys help at least, if not everyone's, building a ship is a lot of work."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste continues to look at the water, in awe of how much water is really there
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they approach the city, the smell of the sea and city gets stronger. <Angel> We will see; I am giving Sia a week at most
<Eluere> <Nephilim> That's a tight deadline even for a team.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Then what? We pony up the cash for a ride?
<@Seraphna> Sia> "Ooo, we'll have to work hard then, but for a small schooner we might manage it."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts slightly. Nice smell.
<@Seraphna> Sia> "Might be cheaper to hire the hands needed to get one built, then to even hire passage."
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they enter, with no real gates to keep people out, they would notice various nationalities here, as well as food items from all over, being a port city. Vendors line up with their goods from 'far and wide'
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Use as much of Nephilim's money as you need
<@Seraphna> * Sia nods obediently.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth grins
<Eluere> <Nephilim> H-Hey!!
<@Seraphna> * Sia looks about. "We'll need a palce to stay and a dry docks to hire out then."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste looks at the goods, appraising them to see just which ones are actually worth what they're going for
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I'm going to have to find a ... "job..."
<@Seraphna> * Sadye giggles a bit.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> We will be staying with a woman Aschae would remember
<Xanatos> <Valen> I seem to have a new job. Ship builder.
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> Does that mean stealing? Can I help? I have 200 gold!
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "I'll help work, I can make myself into a big beefy hunk... err... man, when needed."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Me?
<@Seraphna> * Sadye jerks a bit.
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "Wh-What woman...?'
<Eluere> 6Aschae looks puzzled at who the Angel is referring to
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> The noble woman you met. She is here resting, Kaelan told me
<@Seraphna> * Sadye squeaks.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Oh.
<Eluere> <Aschae> That should make Seth happy.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> What wash er name again?
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "I-I... I..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita shakes her gold at Nephilim
<Xanatos> <Valen> Noble woman?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Rach, remember how you had to keep me from taking that one dude's necklace at the party?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> If you insist, Panda.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel turns toward the richer side of the port city, leaving the vendors and docks behind
<Eluere> <Aschae> ... I honestly cannot remember..
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they get closer, a rich man on a horse begins to ride past Nephilim; his gold sack on his hip - her luck shining
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah, I'm getting that feeling again. That giddy feeling like I could get away with anything.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hee. The ocean is beautiful. The second ride went much better than the one with Valen and I
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> It looks wobbly.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Don't remind me of the sickness. 6He mumbles.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye leans over by Aschae and whispers softly. "Her name is Nicci, thought you might want to know before we arrive..."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Sickness? What?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> The ocean waves can be rough
<Eluere> <Aschae> Ah. Yes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* They stop outside the noble's house; the angel eyes Seth. "Go knock."
<@Seraphna> * Sadye flushes and moves over to knock on the door.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The house isn't overly large for a rich neighborhood; almostl ike it's a house a noble would use as a stay over on a destination.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The door opens and a maid is there, peering at Seth."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita looks toward the dock area, pouting at not going there
<@Seraphna> Sadye> *bows gently, her female form of course* "I-Is Lady Nicci in?"
01<@DeathStar> <MAid> And who might I say is inquiring?
<Eluere> <Aschae> Aschae and Sadye.
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "Sadye... a-and Miss Aschae."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen watches the house a second adn then glances around.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The maid bows and closes the door to go report them
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Mmmm, I remember this place had nice beds
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Yes.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Good. I need a nice bed.
<@Seraphna> * Sia blinks a bit, tilting her head. "She was the nice lady we stayed with on the boat."
<Xanatos> <Valen> You've been here before?
<Eluere> <Aschae> Yes.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hm. Must've been when I was seperated from everyone.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Nicci steps out, smiling and patting Seth's head. "Sadye! Look at you. And Aschae." 6* She walks over, smiling at her and Lenneth. "It is nice to you see you two again."
<Eluere> 6Aschae nods to Nicci. 1"And you as well."
<@Seraphna> * Sadye blushes and looks amazingly subservient, she looks down shyly.
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> I was so worried for you after that disaster on the boat.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I had fears you did not survive yourself.
<@Seraphna> Sia> "Everyone is safe!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci waves them inside and a man takes their horses to put up. "Come in, come in."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste hops off, helping Parita and Rachael down
01<@DeathStar> 6* She is wearing a simple black dress that's low cut and a bit revealing, and she has beautiful reddish tinted hair; Parita's, like Aschae's is dark but has a red gleam to it in sunlight
<@Seraphna> * Sadye steps inside, Sia skips in happily.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael steps in and smiles; it's a simple, cozy place - not too extravaget like most rich like it. Parita looks around in awe
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Is she your daughter by chance, Lady Aschae?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci peers over Aschae's slave garment curiously
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "Miss Parita is the charge of Mister Leruste."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets off the horse and nods to the man, then moves inside after the others.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth smirks a bit to herself, her ears hidden, but Aschae's been leaving her's out since she's been playing the slave role. Lenneth is even wearing nobleish garments
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> Yeah, he's my helper
<kalonZombie> *Leruste walks in with Rachael, looking around "Pretty nice, and it's not actually super pretentious like most nobles' places.
<@Seraphna> * Sia giggles and twirls about. "Reminds me a bit of home."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles as a maid brings them some fruit
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel takes a piece,chewing on it discreetly
<Eluere> 6Aschae pauses, squinting at Nicci since she was wearing her priestess' outfit last time.
<@Seraphna> * Sia takes a piece and feeds it to Kaji, giggling.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste takes one, instinctivly looking for his dagger to peel it "Oh right, all I have are... *He tries sheathing his Templar swords deeper to hide them
<Xanatos> 6* Valen bows his head as he takes some fruit.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci moves over and kisses Aschae gently on the lips, apparantly not caring. "I have missed our talks."
01<@DeathStar> 6* She waves her hands and leads them into a sitting area with soft seats and a couch, sitting and patting beside her for Aschae
<kalonZombie> *Leruste bites into the fruit, savoring it
<Eluere> <Aschae> They were interesting, yes..." 6She flusters slightly, eyeing Lenneth, then shifts to sit beside her.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye flushes a bit. Sia giggles. "Ms. Nicci, do you know the Merchants in this place?" *she takes a seat*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth seems amused almost, considering last time Nicci thought Aschae was a holy woman
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> I know some upper clas merchants, yes.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen rubs his neck before taking a seat, looking awkward.
<@Seraphna> * Sia giggles. "I''m building a ship while we're here... so I need to get together materials and the space to build one."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste continues to look around "It's happening again Rach"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits down, peering at Leruste
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh?
<@Seraphna> * Sadye moves to stand by Nicci and Aschae.
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> I believe I can direct you to the right people; do you need any help with the costs?
<kalonZombie> *Leruste sits next to her "Yeah, can't stop eyeing the stuff that would be worth the most"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Nicci is a good person. 6* She notes sternly, but not meanly
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita eyes a vase and sneaks towards it
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Paritaaaaa...
<@Seraphna> * Sia blushes a bit. "W-We might. We have some funds but I'm not sure they're enough until I can get estimates. Lemme make an inventory."
<@Seraphna> * Sia pulls out a notebook and starts writing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita jerks and sits
<@Seraphna> Sia> "Now that I'm thinking of it, I'll give you all lessons in basic sailing while we work. Anyone who can learn should, it'll benefit us."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci peers at them all. "You will all stay with me, of course."
<@Seraphna> * Sia slips the paper over to Nicci.
<Xanatos> <Valen> That's very generous of you. Thank you.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci takes it, nodding, then rings a bell; a plump maid walks in. "Please get in touch with the Rockiters."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci studies Valen and Rachael. "Mmm, I see you found your brother after all."
<@Seraphna> * Sia thinks, biting her lower lip. "Ms. Nicci, are there any Mason shops here?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> She did, yes. 6He nods slightly.
03* kalonZombie_ (chatzilla@pool-162-84-63-201.sal.east.verizon.net) has joined #session118
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Hmmm.. There might be
<Eluere> <Aschae> No conditions this time?
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Conditions? Hm. Maybe one.
<@Seraphna> * Sia nods, thinking. She looks to the Angel. "Think I should check for them...?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> Oh? Last time Sadye was yours for the evening.
02* kalonZombie (chatzilla@pool-162-84-63-201.sal.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
03* kalonZombie_ is now known as kalonZombie
<@Seraphna> * Sadye flusters.
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "I-I... that is... Carly and I..."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You may
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> I'd just like to spend some time with you Aschae. Lenneth and Sadye can be around, too, if you want. I have so much to speak with you about
<Eluere> <Aschae> Oh. Of course.
<@Seraphna> * Sia nods a bit, getting up. "I'll scout around for a good shipyard and see if any of Daddy's stores are here... it might help."
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Good, I will have your rooms prepared. Please enjoy yourselves. 6* She rises and moves off
<kalonZombie> *Leruste manages to finally stop eying valuables around the house
01<@DeathStar> 6* the angel leans back, thoughtful. "I suppose I should let Jean out while we are here."
<Eluere> 6Aschae nods to the angel. 1"Though you mustn't absolve yourself from recreation as well, you know."
<@Seraphna> * Sia looks at the Angel, silent about that issue.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Recreation?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah, not having any fun can drive someone insane.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael stretches, grinning
<Eluere> <Aschae> Rest, enjoyment.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I will rest while Jean is in control
<kalonZombie> *Leruste can't help but watch Rachael stretch
<@Seraphna> * Sia leans over and kisses Angel's cheek. "I like spending time with both you and Jean."
<@Seraphna> * Sadye plays with her ear nervously.
<Eluere> 6Aschae eyes the angel narrowly.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You have rode with me many days; that is time isn't it?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita picks up a vase
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Paritaaaaaaaaaa
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> So, Nephilim - what will youuuu be doing for fun?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita jerks and sets it down
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers between Rachael and Nephilim.
<@Seraphna> * Sia nods. "It is a lot of time. And Jean hasn't been out a lot lately."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> No stealing from the person who giving us a free place to sleep
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Then it is settled
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at Valen.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Dear Valen, what will you be doing to relax?
<@Seraphna> Sia> *sits down in the Angel's lap* "Rest well. Will still miss you."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel eyes her and closes her eyes
<kalonZombie> *Leruste grins teasingly "Yeah Val, what will you be doing to pass the time?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Building a boat obviously.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim has slipped off, hence not making appearance or voice
<@Seraphna> Sia> "You'll all be working. Especially the boys."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> That is it? You heard the others; you need to enjoy life. In fact, I think I have an idea
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth leans back. "I will find a way for us to have a party. You and Nephilim could use a good party to spend time together. Especially with her running off."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Work? But I wanted to... er... scout... the town a bit.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita peers about, then sneaks after Nephilim
<@Seraphna> Sia> "Well, you have till I get the supplies and shipyard secured."
<Xanatos> <Valen> We spend time together. Just not like some of you spend time with each other.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hmmm. Then the rest of us will enjoy the party. I will be holding it in three days
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean opens her eyes. "Party?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael rises and moves off into the house. "I'm going to go clean up after that ride in her baths."
<@Seraphna> * Sia giggles and kisses Jean. "Lenneth's gonna hold one. Three days. Wanna help me go get stuff to build a ship? We're gonna sail!"
<Eluere> <Aschae> Hm... a goddess throwing a party.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Is that surprising? You know what heroes of old did, do you not?
<kalonZombie> *Leruste smiles "Kay. I'll catch up with you later *He gets up and gives her a quick kiss on the lips
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Sure!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles and slips off down the hall
<@Seraphna> * Sia giggles and gets up, nuzzling her and holding out her hand.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye quierly slips off.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Hm. I did not read much into history.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste watches her until she's out of sight and sits back down "As long as it's not like the boring parties nobles usually throw
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hms. A party?
<Eluere> 6Aschae glares at Leruste.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't participate in parties often.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> The heroes of old would every few weeks have time for a party to celebrate life; as hero's journey is periless and one is likely to die at any moment against a dangerous force. During the demon wars in past time, heroes would have a party to celebrate their life, companuship, and family
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> A hero must learn to embrace life to it's fullest, if one is to save life
<Eluere> <Aschae> I see.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> You should. It's great fun Val. Nice chance to unwind and escape the real world for a bit
<Xanatos> <Valen> Unwind.
<@Seraphna> * Sia takes Jean's hand to lead her out, smiling. "We're gonna look for a shipyard... and I was going to see if any of my parent's stores were here."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I would attend the parties in the past, in the shadows, watching. While I do not condone all that happened, it was nice to see these brave men smile and laugh and drink together
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, peering at Lenneth curiously, then at the house. "Where are we?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> Oh? What all happened?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Escape the real world. *He nods, seeing if Val catches what he's trying to say
<Xanatos> 6* Valen just stares at Leruste.
<@Seraphna> Sia> "Lady Nicci's house, in a port town."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well, men will be men - and women like their heroes. 6* She shrugs bashully
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Oh! Which town?
<kalonZombie> *Leruste shakes his head "Look, point is, you can stop being so worrysome for a couple of hours and it won't kill you."
<@Seraphna> Sia> "Nagev, I think."
<Xanatos> <Valen> You would do well to stop trying to change me.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye rises up behind Valen, standing out of his eyesight, she shifts into him and gives them all a stern look, then waves her finger as if reprimanding them, then shifts back.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Message clear, big guy.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Huhuhu. I see.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well, my party will not be as wild; we are not a group of men that are full of testerone
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> That's a male thing
<Xanatos> <Valen> I smell demon.
<Eluere> <Aschae> We have males full of testosterone.
<Eluere> <Aschae> And those with none." 6She eyes Sadye
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> We have one. 6* She waves at Leruste
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "Oh, women have their own kind of testosterone." *she says, stepping into Valen's eyeshot*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I'm not saying it needs to be wild. I'm just saying the party me and... uh... me alone crashed the other day was kinda boring. Just spice it up a little from the usual noble drab.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods thoughtfully
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Why here?
<@Seraphna> Sia> "We're heading somewhere the Angel is taking us, she told me to build us a boat, and I've got a week to do it." *she moves along, smiling still*
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I like boats!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean glances about the port city in awe as they walk down toward the merchant class area
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets to his feet and glances around, then steps off to glance around the building.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I should get some rest. 6* She runs her hair, combing back the white streak
<kalonZombie> *Leruste gets up and heads out into town
<@Seraphna> * Sia giggles. "I'm gonna captain it!" *she holds Jean's hand, prancing along in her usual chipper way*
<Eluere> <Aschae> Lenneth..?
<Eluere> 6Aschae blinks, peering after her
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I want to get some sleep after being on a horse so long, then get ready. Besides, you can visit with Nicci alone for a bit. 6* She laughs mirthfully, slapping Aschae's butt as she walksby
<@Seraphna> * Sadye sighs a bit, flicking an ear. "Hard to have fun sometimes." *she steps over to Rachael and Leruste, smiling between them.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> You can be a captain?
<@Seraphna> * Sia nods. "I know everything about running a ship!"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Wow!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen finds the baths and steps in glancing around. Rachael?
<@Seraphna> * Sadye clearly goes after Leruste, totally.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers over, completely naked as she washes her breasts. "Aren't you a bit old to be bathing with me, nerven?"
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> So you're going to help me "scout" the town?
<Eluere> 6Aschae makes a noise, reddening, pouting after Lenneth, but remaining
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita sneaks about the port area, peering at the water
<Xanatos> <Valen> I figured this would be the only way I could visit with you. I could...leave.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye giggles a bit. "Sure." *she bears some striking resemblances to Rachael, including her hair color and style*
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't mind. I bathe with Zeal and Nephilim all the time. 6* She continues to wash herself, enjoying all the oils and soaps
<kalonZombie> *Leruste narrows his eyes at him, then smiles "Nice try, guy"
<@Seraphna> * Sia giggles. "I learned to build ships from Daddy, and I've got lots of lessons from his workers about ships."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci flutters in on Aschae when she's alone
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Aschae; tell me. Why are you dressed like this?
01<@DeathStar> 6* She leads Aschae off
<@Seraphna> * Sadye sniffs, "I wasn't trying anything, want to see how it works when I do?" *she grins*
01<@DeathStar> Jean> Can I be captain, too?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita then falls into the water
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Not really, actually
<@Seraphna> * Sia nods, "Yep!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts and sits down by the bath, turning to face the door now. We haven't really spoke much lately. It's odd.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, you did pass out after dancing with Nephilim at OAs
<Eluere> <Aschae> It is easier to travel like this... as a... halfling..
<Xanatos> <Valen> I was...tired. 6He gets a bit color in his cheeks. I hope you understand my mood when it comes to Leruste.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste heads over to the merchant area, scouting around for valuable
<kalonZombie> NRP valuables
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Not really.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye leans close to him, she smiles winningly as Leruste would suddenly feel his blood rush and a spike of arousal, winking at him. "You sure?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita flails in the water; a fisherman moves over and pokes wat her with a stick
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> VERY SURE THANK YOU *He says louder than he meant to
<Xanatos> <Valen> You're my only family. I just don't want you to get hurt.
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> I did not know you had elven blood in you. Is that why you're so beautiful and fit? 6* She asks curiously
<@Seraphna> * Sadye giggles and smiles. "Awww, okay. Let's just 'scout' then."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Valen - we're facing gods and demons on a day to day basis. I'm going to get hurt. I might go insane one day. 6* She glances at him. "Taking a chance at having a connection with someone will not crush me. If I don't, I won't ever have a chance to feel what you and Nephilim will have one day. Unless you prefer I seek one of the girls on the team
<@Seraphna> * Sia looks around at shops, mainly checking for any shops owned by her family, but also looking for a shipyard space.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean points at a store. "That says your name, right?"
<@Seraphna> * Sia peers over at it curiously.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I imagine that has little to do with my fitness.
01<@DeathStar> 6* It's indeed one of her shops
<@Seraphna> * Sia flushes and nods, looking nervous as she heads over to it.
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Oh. I suppose you thought a rich artisocrat like me wouldn't understand, so you hid your ears?
<kalonZombie> *Leruste continues looking for something valuable "At least you have fun with what you can do"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The rich noble on the horse is at the market, harrassing vendors on prices of all things
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...I guess no one is good enough for you in my eyes. 6He muses.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hey... that guy is loaded. I saw him earlier
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "Mmm, I can do a lot more then I let on." *she winks* "I grew up in the gutters, y'know."
<Eluere> <Aschae> I hid them in general until lately.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I really was a priestess.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hey, go run interference on that guy
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hmmm. then you want me to die a young maid?
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Not anymore?
<@Seraphna> * Sadye shifts her looks, taking on the form of a beautiful, well endowed brown haired girl, she winks and moves towards the rich guy.
<@Seraphna> * Sia moves to the shop, looking at Jean a bit nervously, then steps inside.
<Xanatos> <Valen> No of course not. I want you to be happy.
01<@DeathStar> 6* JEan follows Sia in; indeed, it's a Mason esque shop
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, I am happy. Leruste may be a little bit of a goof, but I like it. And he means well.
<@Seraphna> * Sia looks around, looking a little lost suddenly, a bit of homesick washing over her as she looks over the wares.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks and hugs Sia
<Eluere> <Aschae> Not for a long time..
01<@DeathStar> 6* The guy shifts to eye the girl, peering at her chest
<@Seraphna> * Sia hugs back, she smiles a bit.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste blends into the crowd as Sadye distracts him
<Xanatos> <Valen> Then all I can ask if that you take your time and make sure he may be the one before you do anything...serious. And...forgive me if I act like an...idiot
<@Seraphna> * Sadye saunters in his direction, due to the size increase, her blouse isn't holding her breasts as easily, quite a show for the man.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael awws and gets out of the tub, all soapy and wet, and hugs him from behind
01<@DeathStar> <Noble> Can I help you, young lady?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci nods and sits on her bed with Aschae. "I suppose I shouldn't pry."
<@Seraphna> * Sadye smiles and looks up at him all innocent. "Well, I'm looking for a good dress shop, do you know of any, my Lord?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to her slightly and smiles. I'm a bit jealous of you. You're talented at this romantic sort of thing. I'm terrible at it. I'm surprised Nephilim gives me the time of day.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste slowly starts working his way up to the noble
<@Seraphna> * Sia takes in a breath and moves over to the counter.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I don't mind. Though I fear that it might have consequences to the others should you know.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> It's because she knows you're honest and dependable; but groping her once and a while wouldn't hurt, either. Hee.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The noble considers, then nods. "Well, there is one such shop this way." 6* He puts an arm around her to lead her away
<Xanatos> <Valen> I...just don't think I can do it.
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Mmm. Well, I will keep my questions to a minimal then
<kalonZombie> *As he walks by, Leruste uses his Ultimate NPC Pickpocket skill to take the sack of gold
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You do plan to mate ONE day, right? Groping would be involvede.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Leruste manages to snag it
<Eluere> <Aschae> As you wish.
<kalonZombie> *He walks off nonchalantly
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hnns. I just want it to be...special. I'm not sure how I would go about that.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye moves with the man, smiling,
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Have you been well otherwise? LAdy Len seems to be your servant last time, now you seem to be pretending to ber her'd
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Special; well, candles, a nice spot alone, romanatic words, kissing, confessions, touching.
<Eluere> 6Aschae peers to the side. 1"Yes, well..."
<Eluere> <Aschae> I am better now, I guess I would say.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste pockets the gold, waiting a bit and then heading towards the way the man was showing Sadye so that they can meet up again
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> I am glad; men don't try to accoust you, do they? Humans can be pigs
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man leads her to a deserted area
<@Seraphna> * Sadye seems innocently unaware of what the man is doing, despite how obvious it is.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hm. I will keep that in mind. Thank you.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> She's shy like you; you two will get along well. 6* Seh hops into the water, sighing at the nice oilsa
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> And I'll go slow; I'm not in a complete rush
<Eluere> <Aschae> If they did I would easily break them.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Good. And if he breaks your heart, I shoudl have permission to break his nose.
<@Seraphna> Sia> "I-I ummm... I need..."
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> I could tell your were strong spirited, even if you had your innocent sides you hid. I remember your authoriative side quite well
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man looks at Sia
01<@DeathStar> <Man> I--- you're...
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Granted
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> But maybe I'll be the heart breaker. 6* She sniffs
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man stops in the alley.
<@Seraphna> * Sia looks back. She blinks and looks away. "N-No one special."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles. Oh? Well if you are...then I can't break someone's nose.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Huhuhu...
<@Seraphna> * Sadye looks about. "Is the shop down this way...?"
<kalonZombie> *Leruste arrives at the store, looking around for Sadye
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> True. He he
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci moves to open a drawer, then takes something out, holding it to Aschae
<Xanatos> <Valen> Rachael the Heartbreaker. Seems to roll of the tongue a bit.
01<@DeathStar> <Man> Oh yes, yes.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> H-Hey!
<Eluere> <Aschae> Hmm?
01<@DeathStar> <Man> But you look like the owner's daughter
01<@DeathStar> 6* He points at a portrait of the two girls
<@Seraphna> * Sadye sniffs a bit and looks about, moving a bit closer to the man, burhsing up against him.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nicci hands her a brooch with a dark gem with a tint of red at certain angles of light. "I thought of you when I saw this."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man stops at the dead end
<Xanatos> 6Valen chuckles, looking amused at himself.
<@Seraphna> * Sia flushes and blinks, "I..." *she looks around, then leans in* "Please don't tell anyone I was here."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> When you say it like that I said bad
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael pouts
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Um, why?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at the picture, then her
<@Seraphna> * Sadye peers about, then hits the man with a load of Pheramones. "This seems an odd spot for a shop."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man looks drunk. "Well, you see my busomy vixen..."
<@Seraphna> * Sia looks at the man. Then at Jean. "I-It's better if my parents don't know where I am right now."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste walks in the store, asking if anybody's seen a woman matching the description of the form Sadye was taking
01<@DeathStar> <Man> Oh, I see young mistress, of c ourse
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hm. Rachael the Lovely?
<@Seraphna> * Sadye coos and smiles, "Vixen? I like that..." *she opens teh blouse slowly, leaning against the wall as she gives him a come hither motion*
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I like to think Rachael the Love Wanderer
01<@DeathStar> 6* The noble comes hither; poor, poor man. Later, when Leruste finds Seth, he's had a good meal.
<@Seraphna> * Sia smiles a little. "Umm... how are they, my parents?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Love Wanderer? Now that just seems fickle. As if you move from one love to the other.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita, meanwhile, is taught by the fisherman who saved herh ow to swim
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, if I break hearts it sounds better than heart breaker!
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> There you are, I've been waiting forever.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye sets the man to sleep, having only drained to feed, not kill, she's fixing up her clothes as Leruste approaches. "Sometimes you try and rape th wrong girl..."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Really? Rape? Geez... *He goes over to the man, inspecting him for any jewlery
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man has a ring
<Eluere> 6Nephilim pokes Parita in the side
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael's ears twitch as she mumbles various titles
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita jerks, squeaking, peering at Neph
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Do you like it?
<Eluere> <Aschae> What is this?" 6She blinks. 1"What is made of, I mean?"
<@Seraphna> * Sadye licks some blood off her lips. "He made a good meal, at any rate, the lusty ones always get good and excited just at the idea of a bare girl's body."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Heh. Rachael the Illustrious.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste pockets the ring "Might as well double-teach him
<@Seraphna> * Sadye giggles and kises Leruste's cheek, before turning to go. "Come along. Man's going to have one killer headache in the morning."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste frowns at the kiss "Yeah yeah. Thanks. I'll work out your cut later"
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> I hear it's a rare gem; hard to find - it can be molded to be made as strong as metal, or as brittle as paper.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Strange.
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> You do not like it?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> What are you doing, scamp?
<@Seraphna> * Sadye smiles a bit. "Don't worry about me teasing you, I wouldn't make a move on you unless you upset Rachael."
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> I fell in the water and almost died; they said they could teach me not to sink
<@Seraphna> * Sadye winks, "And you wouldn't like the move I make then."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I-I-I don't know how to take that! 6* She throws suds at him
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I bet I wouldn't, but I don't plan on hurting her. She's the best thing to happen to me in... a while...
<@Seraphna> * Sia rocks nervously. "I'm umm... in need of a shipyard... are any of the drydocks empty?"
<kalonZombie> *He becomes quiet again, memories of Ial hitting him like a ton of bricks
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks. It...it's a good thing!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh. Okay! Hee.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man thinks. "We have a dock with a damaged ship that is not in use."
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> Can you swim?
<@Seraphna> Sia> "Damaged... is it one of ours?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Means...6He pauses as he thinks. Being outstanding I think.
<@Seraphna> * Sadye sniffs, poking his side. "Want some advice?"
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hmm?
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "The dead are dead. Let her leave your mind, so she can rest."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Th-The water...? What were you doing there?
<Eluere> <Aschae> It's pretty. Just odd characteristics.
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> I will try for a better gift later, then
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita blinks. "I've never seen the ocean."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah, I know. I'm mostly over it, it's just... it sneaks up sometimes, you know?
01<@DeathStar> <Shop Man> Yes.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Outstanding? Me? I'm not sure it fits me, then. 6* She climbs out and towels off
<@Seraphna> * Sadye considers. "Can you close down that dock for the next week? I'll see what I can do about speeding along it's repairs while I work on my project."
01<@DeathStar> <Man> why not use it? We were going to call it a loss; it's your ship technically, mistress
<Eluere> <Aschae> What..? No, I don't need anything. And this is more than I'd ask, Lady Nicci.
01<@DeathStar> <Nicci> Well. 6* She sits, smiling like a cat with a canary. "Let us catch up then."
<@Seraphna> * Sia blinks, "I... thank you, that'll speed things along nicely. I'll overhaul it and get it back up faster then I could build from scratch."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Wow, I bet this will make the other me happy with you
01<@DeathStar> <Shop Man> Other you..?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well if not for you I'm quite certain this entire group would have fallena part.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Me? How so?
<kalonZombie> *Leruste starts heading back to the house "Hey, we got a good haul today. We make a good team"
<@Seraphna> * Sia giggles. "She ummm, has a twin, like me."
01<@DeathStar> <Other Man> Oh!
<Eluere> <Aschae> Hm." 6She peers at Nicci
<Eluere> <Nephilim> It's bad.
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> Oh.
<@Seraphna> * Sia smiles a bit and considers something, looking at Jean. She then curtseys. "Alright, I guess all I need now are the parts and the men to get the job done."
01<@DeathStar> 6* A dolphdog eyes Nephilim from the water, eyes narrowed
<Xanatos> <Valen> Your healing has kept us alive, your closeness to Jean allowed the Angel to place herself in yourself. We almost fell apart.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> You're good at this, Sia.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Heh. Well. We're all her family, right? Without one of us, she'd be a lot unhappier.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim makes faces at it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers about, then smiles and hugs Sia
<@Seraphna> * Sia blushes. "I-I... I guess I get a lot from Daddy."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Will you tell more about him? I don't remember my father....
<@Seraphna> * Sadye pats his head. "Mm, go enjoy you lass."
01<@DeathStar> 6* It makes noises at Nephilim and splashes off
<Xanatos> <Valen> I wonder if thsis will remain, the Angel in control and only allowing jean out to play from time to time.
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "And work on putting her out of your mind. I know what it is to live with loss, you don't want to go down that route."
<@Seraphna> * Sia smiles and nods, kissing her cheek. "Sure."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> She'll never be out of my head completely... but I'm sure the pain that comes with her memories will leave.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> It is ... strange. IT was always the other way around before. I guess after almost dying, the angel isn't taking chances
<@Seraphna> * Sadye points to her head, then her heart.
<@Seraphna> Sadye> "Take her out of there. Keep her in here."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean takes Sia's hand and walks out with her
01<@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
01<@DeathStar> Location: Woods
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes the forst, eyes narrowed as they travel along. "We're almost near the spot the stone is at. It's a bit north of the trail
<Xanatos> 6* Tal sniffs, glancing around. Hrnnnn.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan peers about. "Well... most of the stones we've found have been in ruins..."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Why are you so apprehensive at the moment..?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a tree is uprooted by a giant earth encrusted hand and a head peers at them, a monster with a rock like face and two eyes; it's mouth emits foul breath andbones hang from it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne lets out a scream and Lilica winces from it, sitting up. Rose looks at it, immediately forming a crystal sword
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan holds her breath a bit as she draws her sword, stepping down from the horse, she gives Mercy the reins, "Keep it back, love."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal tenses and growls, trying to keep his horse under control.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods, urging theh orse back, fearfully. Thomas draws his sword. Soma trembles and pees inside Zeal's cleavage
01<@DeathStar> 6* The monster's hand reaches for Mercy and the horse; at that moment, a man's yell is heard from the woods as Kalon's new character arrives to try to beat the S Rank monster
<Xanatos> 6* Tal shifts off his horse and ties it to Wynne and Yewn's carriage. He flexes his claws and eyes the big monster.
<kalonZombie> *The man leaps around, punching it in the wrist where the bone is closest to the skin
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan moves to intercept the hand, Slashing out at the arm with her blade.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The sword cuts at the monster and the man's punch hits the skin, hurting his wrist. Rose leaps out, touching the monster's arm and it crystalizes, then shatters, revealing a weakspot now
<Eluere> 6Zeal eyes Soma. 1"You've always been brave..."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan twists her blade about, Slashing at the weakspot. "Stay away from my WIFE!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The monsters roars again and Soma whimpers, terrified of this beast
<Xanatos> 6* Tal moves forward quickly, clawing at the weak spot.
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> I got a bad feeling; we need to run. Now.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Tal cuts along the weak spot and his god claws barely cut the skin, black acidic blood oozing and burning the grass
<kalonZombie> *The man runs up his arm and punches it in the eye "Go, I shall keep it at bay as long as i can"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's sword begins to get damaged by the blood, too
<Xanatos> 6* Tal takes a few steps back. EVIL BLOOD!
<Xanatos> 6* Tal quickly wipes his claws clean on the grass.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man punches at it's eye and it roars, grabbing at him with it's other hand, gripping the man in a vice grip. Rose leaps up and lands on the hand, her white hair dramatically whipping about
01<@DeathStar> 6* As she lands she tries to crystalize the fingers to weaken
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan steps back, pulling her blade away, she swings teh blade towards nothing, using the speed to clean the blade.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas rushes and cuts at the monster's leg, but is kicked away into a tree; he grunts as it cracks
<kalonZombie> *The man winces, but tries prying the hand open forcefully
<Xanatos> <Tal> SMASH CRYSTAL! 6He yells to the mena, moving to check on Thomas.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas groans, looking out of it. Mercy begins to lead the cart along the road
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blasts at the Monster with a Gale Blast, moving backwards.
<Eluere> 6Zeal tries an arrow to the eyes.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal lifts Thomas up and mvoes to put him on the cart, then backs up carefully, watching the monster.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The gale blast barely does anything; the arrow hits the eye and it roars, black goo spewing out toward the hand with the man
<kalonZombie> *The man breaks the crystal fingers and drops to the ground
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose eyes the goo coming in and forms a crystal shield to protect herself, then lands; the shield gone from it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica runs toward trees, palming them as she goes; the trees break at the roots and fall, blocking the monster's path momentarily. She then flips onto the cart
<Xanatos> <Tal> Careful Rose. 6He hisses at the goo.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose backsu p, her green eyes widen in fear, her ears twitching; a strand of goo is on her hair, burning it
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan steps back more as the goo comes in and summons a Wind Shield to protect herself. "We'll need to find a vital spot and attack it together, before the blood can get us."
<Xanatos> <Tal> Retreat. 6he calls out, shifting to cut the hair with his claw, moving after the cart.
<kalonZombie> <Man> Retreat would be most wise
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose turns and grabs the man, running with him; she's a tiny waif of a girl, barely 5'4, and looks under weight. She knocks him onto the cart and leaps on it, panting
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan growls and nods, she starts to head after Mercy and the cart.
<Eluere> <Zeal> What is that thing..?
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "I think that's the Gorgona!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica runs on all fours and leaps on the cart as they ride along. T homas groans, pointing the direction of the ruins with the stone to hide
<Xanatos> 6* Tal tries to grab onto the cart as well.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma trembles, looking pathetic
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica grabs his hand and helps him up
<@Seraphna> * Kealan hops onto the cart. "Towards the ruins, we can hide inside."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal nods his thanks.
<kalonZombie> *The man looks over everyone quickly, and notices Thomas "You are hurt, friend"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I will...live. 6* Rose claps her hands together and touches Thomas' arm, forming a crystal arm. He yells in pain but then blinks, shifting it slowly
<Xanatos> 6* Tal blinks a few times. Rose made arm!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Behind them, the sound of trees being ripped apart echoes and a monsterous roar. The monster begins to chase them as they ride along. Rose's nose bleeds and she pants, out of the fight.
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Trouble coming
<kalonZombie> *The man looks over his head, pulling out some herbs and applying them to wounds
<kalonZombie> <Man> This may sting
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas hisses
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> The eye thing seemed to hurt it; can you hit it on a moving horse Zeal? 6* Sadly, Zeal does not have horse combat training and will need to leap off her horse onto the cart
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Gonnadiegonnadie
<Xanatos> <Tal> Not gonna die!
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks a bit, she pulls out her Chakram. "We need to keep it at bay. Anyone got ranged capabilities?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> No. I can't control anything on a horse.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica growls, balancing on the back of the cart
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Get on the cart."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy, holding Zeal's horses' reins, too, nods at her to jump
<Eluere> 6Yewn downs down beside the cart and punches the ground, sending a shockwave of upbursting rock toward it, leaping onto the back before the cart gets away from her.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal peers for something to throw.
<kalonZombie> <Man> Unfortunately I am not trained in ranged weaponry *He keeps looking Thomas over, applying herbs to wounds
<Eluere> 6Zeal blinks, looking unsure, but nods and leaps for the cart
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica whips out to grab Zeal as she leaps, twirling and sets her down safely; the rock slows the monster briefly as Mercy, listening to Thomas' shouting orders, steers them through the thick of the woods; the cart begins to jump as it hits things
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Yeeeowl!
01<@DeathStar> 6* The monsters knocks trees aside, slowing, but still on their trail
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose bounces, and being so light, is knocked right off, sailing through the air in ahng time. "Help!"
<Xanatos> 6* Tal jerks and tries to catch her.
<kalonZombie> *The man grabs her "Hang on!"
<Eluere> 6Yewn blinks, trying to reach for her and holds onto one of the cart's supports.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan holds onto the cart, trying to get a moment with enough steadiness to toss her weapon.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose hangs onto Tal and the man, hanging off the side
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pulls her up, holding on protectively.
<kalonZombie> *The man pulls her up into the cart
01<@DeathStar> 6* The weapon is tossed; it misses completely
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose pants, hugging onto Tal and peering. Lilica bounces again, frowning, and lifts Zeal up to steady her from the bouncing
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> You got one shot, girl, make it count!
<Eluere> <Zeal> ..." 6She nods to Lilica and pulls back her oldstyle composite, letting out a deep breath
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zeal's aiming seems to be on par so far
01<@DeathStar> 6* The monster lunges at the cart
<Xanatos> <Tal> SHOOT THE FUCKING THING!
<kalonZombie> *The man rushes up to the edge of the cart, ready
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> *grits her teeth, bracing herself*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica closes her eyes as it comes in. "I don't wanna diiiiie!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The monsters slams into the cart and sends them all flying through the air; they soar and slam into various trees and the ground, impacting harshly as the cart overturns, spilling their supplies about on the ground
<Xanatos> 6* Tal lets out a sound, taking the impact for Rose.
<kalonZombie> *The man tries his best to land on his feet, dropping into a fighting stance immediately "If anybody else has any other ideas, I am not one to let them go to waste"
<@Seraphna> * kaelan grunt in pain as she lands, panting hard, holding her side and pulling up her sword. "Damnit... Zeal..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose rolls with Tal as they come to a stop; Wynne slams into a tree and the cart impacts against her
<Eluere> 6Being a lowly human, Zeal is knocked out somewhere likely.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The monster grabs the horses with the cart and puts it in it's stomach, eating; giving them spare moments. Thomas lays there, groaning; the ruins, tal would remember, are 300 meters to then orth
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan takes the time to rush towards Mercy. pulling her shield out.
<kalonZombie> *The man rushes to Thomas "Come, let's flee while it has forgotten about us"
<Xanatos> 6* Tal lifts Rose up. Follow Tal. 6he calls out, scrambling to keep moving north.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy's horse, a bit ahead, managed to avoid impact; she h olds out a hand to Kaelan to grab
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan takes it, pulling herself up.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica groans, picking up Zeal and throwing her over her shoulder, hurrying on. She drags Yewn along if she was knocked out
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas puts an arm around the man
<kalonZombie> *The man helps Thomas up and follows Tal
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses at the cart and checks on Wynne, trying to help her as well.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wynne is bloodied and limp, and easily lifted
<Eluere> 6Yewn's tiny and weak, unless expecting it due to her element affinity and training.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Keep on... to the ruins..."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal frowns and lifts her up too, moving as fast as he can towards the ruin.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica struggles along as the monster begins to grab their meat suppleis and eat it now; then it looks up at them
<kalonZombie> <Man> We had better hurry
<Xanatos> 6* Tal makes a sound and keeps going as fast as he can.
<kalonZombie> *The man pushes Thomas as hard as he thinks he can take it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas keeps up well; as they arrive at the entrance to the ruins, the gorgona reaches them, reaching out
<Xanatos> 6* Tal makes a nosie and tries to avoid, jumping into the ruins.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilical eaps in and Mercy rides through
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan growls and tosses another Gale Burst out as she urges Mercy into the ruins.
<kalonZombie> *The man shoves Thomas to the side, leaping after him
<Eluere> <Yewn> Ah think ah give up
<kalonZombie> <Man> I apologize if I hurt you further
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas and the man roll in and the hand smashes uselessly against the wall. It sniffs, roaring, then sits outside, as if to wait them out
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> No...I am fine
<Xanatos> <Tal> .... 6He checks on Rose and then Wynne.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica pants, petting Yewn's head. "You did good..you did good..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose looks unconscious, but alright; Wynne's breathing is shallow and she has bruises around her neck
<Eluere> <Yewn> Hogoinkwash.
<Xanatos> <Tal> Medicine Maid!
<kalonZombie> *The man looks him over, applying herbs to Thomas "I did not expect I would actually need to use these today
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan gasps after they're in and moves off the horse, steadying it for Mercy. "Do... you have your herbs with you...?"
<kalonZombie> *The man looks over "I have extra, should you need it"
01<@DeathStar> 6* MErcy pulls out her sack
<Eluere> <Yewn> If Wynnie makes it through this, we're goin' home.
<kalonZombie> *The man continues to look over Thomas, and once he's satasfied, he moves onto someone else that is hurt, limping slightly
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Why?
<Xanatos> <Tal> Your wife failed Tom. Almost got us killed.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan looks towards Zeal, her eyebrow twitching a little.
<Eluere> 6Yewn stares at Lilica. Gesturing at Wynne looking mangled.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes at Tal. "We can't all do everything in a timely fashion; it was a heated moment."
<kalonZombie> <Man> Nobody failed. Against such a beast, I think we fared quite well
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica peers at her, then at Yewn. "I'll help her; but aren't you out to change the world and make gold? Running home with your tail between your legs seems the opposite
<Xanatos> <Tal> Lost cart. Lost supplies. Failure.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas rubs Zeal and Mercy treats her for any injuries. Then treats Wynne
<kalonZombie> <Man> Yet not lost lives, aside from the poor horses.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> IT will only eat some food; the rest will be fine, hopefully and we have two horses
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "...We'll see who can use the stone. If we can feel one up north, we'll use it."
<Eluere> <Yewn> I forgot all about that stupid vow a long time ago. Back when I learned how stupid and foolish changing the world really was.
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Ah. Well, I'm no Gemane. Quit if you want; what if she doesn't want to quit, though?
<Eluere> <Yewn> The only world I need is right there, and it's been close to crushed completely to death three times now and we haven't even made it half across Sinai, much less Tareh. I was happy staying in Oas.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal grumbles, holding Rose protectively, looking to try and make her comfortable.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose opens her eyes finally. "Food?"
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "If it leaves... I think it's waiting us out." *she peers towards the entrance*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy uses smelling salts on Zeal and Wynne. Wynne coughs up blood, opening her eyes
<Xanatos> <Tal> Don't have.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose sulks.
<kalonZombie> <Man> It will lose interest once it realizes such small meals can outwait it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma hops out and licks at Zeal; he looks like he's limping
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> What is your name?
<kalonZombie> <Man> Besides, we can find another exit... oh! *He looks at Soma "Little cub, are you hurt?
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan looks at Soma, her jaw sets, she quietly gets up and steps away from the others, her gloved hand balled into a fist.
<kalonZombie> <Man> I am called Tanan
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma mewls and sits, licking his paw; it seems Zeal's breasts padded h im for the worst of it
<kalonZombie> *He slowly reaches for Soma, taking the paw, looking it over, taking out an herb and applying it to any visible wound
<Eluere> 6Zeal sets Soma down away from her.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal shifts off to the side with Rose, deciding he needs some space to calm down.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks Zeal over. "Are you okay?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy, watching Kaelan, helps Wynne with some fluids
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Is my Yewn okay?
<Eluere> <Yewn> Of course, Wyn.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> Come cuddle me.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> We have to figure out how to make back our money; I think we should charge them damage costs
<Eluere> <Yewn> Tch..." 6She crawls over without opinionating.
<kalonZombie> *Tanan looks around, and sits down and starts meditating, everyone having been attended to "Money is fleeting, you should not concern yourself too much with it"
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan seems to be doing a classicc breathing deep and counting from ten, after a bit she comes back and kneels to help Mercy.
01<@DeathStar> <Wynne> IT makes my Yewn smile
<Eluere> <Yewn> We're merchants. If we didn't we'd be charity.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma holds up his good paw at Zeal, pawing
<kalonZombie> <Tanan> And what is so wrong with charity?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy frowns. "Try not to move your body tonight, Wynne; I am not as good as Zeal, but you might have some damage around your neck."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas closes his eyes, just sitting with Zeal since she is quiet
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica gets out some oil she hides on herself to clean her tail.
<Eluere> 6Zeal holds up an arrow, staring at it.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> What's wrong, love?
<Eluere> <Yewn> Nothin'. If y'do nae fancy bein' a merchant.
<kalonZombie> *Tanan simply sits up, closing his eyes, meditating
<Eluere> <Yewn> What's this? 'Nother monk?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy leans against KAelan, peering at the ground meekly
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan looks down at Wynne, she frowns worriedly. Then pulls Mercy close and hugs her tight. "You're okay, love?"
<Eluere> 6Zeal tests the arrowhead's tip with her thumb.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas rises finally and moves deeper into the ruins
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma lays down by Zeal, mewling
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I do not know what to do to make mistress Zeal feel better.
<Eluere> 6Zeal blinks at Thomas moving off and stares, then takes a breath and picks up her bow, walking toward the entry.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Lady...Zeal?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma gets up and follows Zeal
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Zeal... there is a rather hungry monster waiting out there."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose peers at Zeal, then reaches out to grab at her leg; if Zeal doesn't dodge that is
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lilica offers Yewn her oil while Wynne snuggles
<Eluere> 6Zeal eyes Rose quietly.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan gets up quietly, reaching down to her waist, she moves towards Zeal.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose begins to draw out all of Zeal's negative emotions and feelings, replacing them with happy feelings.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy rises, moving to follow Kaelan and Zeal
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zeal has flashes of her chilldhood as Rose uses them to replace the negative; Zeal with her mother as a kid, other things, Nephilim passing through when she was young
<Eluere> 6Zeal raises her arm, pointing the arrow in her hand at Kaelan without looking.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan doesn't seem afraid of an arrow in Zeal's hand. She moves up closer. Silent still. She eyes Zeal.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Stay away from me.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Then don't try and go up there."
<Eluere> <Zeal> It's none of your business.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "It is every bit my business."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose blinks as she continues her process
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> What is going on?
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Not feeding herself to a monster. That's what's going on."
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> If you plan to fight it, you should wait until we're all ready
<Eluere> <Zeal> Why? It was my duty earlier.
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> Because you're the leader of this team, are you not? What kind of leader goes off without the rest of the team when it will mean a higher chance of success?
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Killing yourself won't make up for errors. You hesitated on your aim, that isn't a sign of weakness. It was the heat of the moment. Rest up and we'll kill it if it's still around in the morning."
<Eluere> <Zeal> I don't believe for a second that's what you really think.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan raises a brow. "Really."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy frowns worriedly, peering back as if to run get Thomas
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan eyes her, as though waiting to see just how deep the rabbit hole will really go.
<Eluere> 6Zeal doesn't say anything else, as calculated looking as ever.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm beginning to think you really don't know me at all Zee. I wouldn't bother to try and stop you if I didn't give a damn about you. Now go sit down, you're definately not in the right state of mind if you think a pointy stick is going to prevent me from stopping you."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> P-Please do not fight
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "That's up to Zeal. I won't let your mistress hurt herself though."
<Eluere> 6Zeal sneers at that.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma paws at Zeal
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> She will only resent you if you physically stop her
01<@DeathStar> <Lilica> This is a choice she needs to make
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns. She looks at Zeal.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs, taking a step back. "...I can't save you from yourself."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Please---allow me to give you one of my massages, mistress

03* Harusame (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #session118
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan continues to watch Zeal.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Dramatic
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy goes to lead her to the back if she doesn't resist

01<@DeathStar> 6* Taking place back in Sinai, Rachael is in the room with Ruun to change into a noble dress to go to the party Leruste plans to invade
<kalonZombie> *Leruste is already in his outfit, standing out of the room, talking through the doorway "Okay, I've party-crashed this guy before. He thinks I'm a noble from Accona. Your story is you're my latest mistress... don't ask me why, but nobles tend to eat those kinds of stories up"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> What's a mistress? Ack, that's tight there, Ruun!
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> A mistress is a fancy word nobles like to use when describing a woman they are sleeping with behind their wife's back
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Then who are you married to? 6* She steps out in a fancy white gown, her hair hiding her ears; she almost looks like she could pass off as a real noble in it.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Her name is Elane Yondaar, mine is Hillias Yondaar
<kalonZombie> *Leruste looks at Rachael, and it suddenly hits him "Wow... you look great"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hillias. Hillias. alright, I think I have it. 6* She blinks, then smiles. "Thank you, good sir."
<kalonZombie> *He bows, smiling "My pleasure, miss. Shall we go party-crashing?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I would like that very much. 6* She says, trying to make her voice have less of an accent, and she curtseys
<kalonZombie> *He takes her hand "Wish me luck, boss"
01<@DeathStar> <Ruun> Try not to get your heads cut off
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Oh I'll be running away long before they realize I'm not actually a noble *He winks and heads off with Rachael
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows, having to adjust herself in the special noble shoes with heels
<kalonZombie> *Leruste goes slowly so that she can adjust, heading towards the noble's house
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers up at the large mansion as they get closer. "W-Wow, it's like.....seven houses in size. How can one person use so much room?"
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> By doing pointless things with his money, like throw these parties all the time... don't ask me, I don't get it either
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at carriages being pulled up and handimen helping nobles down, and the women hiking their dresses up as they travel up to the house. Rachael blinks and lifts her dress up a little
<kalonZombie> *Leruste wraps his arm around hers and walks a bit more stiffly now, escorting her to the mansion
01<@DeathStar> 6* The greeter peers them over. "Welcome, .... ?" 6* He trails off, as if waiting for a name
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hilliard Yondaar.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> And Guest.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The butlet eyes Rachael and sniffs, as if understanding that. "Of course, of course, come in good, sir." 6* Rachael eyes the butler's smirk as they are led in
<kalonZombie> *Leruste follows and gives her a quick, reassuring glace
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael then gawks at the interior and the high ceilings, made of fine craftmanship, a chandlier with glowstones, paintings, and rugs. Some nobles snicker at her gawking
<kalonZombie> *Leruste whispers "Pretend it's not a big deal"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then takes his arm, speaking a bit so the others can see it. "You promised a lavish party, but I did not expect it to be so magnificent." 6* One noble, who owns it, looks pleased with her flattery
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Well I did downplay it a little, I wanted you to be surprised.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers in at the large table with enough food to feed the entire poor section, along with drinks and wines of high calibur; there's some boring music for dancing as well
<kalonZombie> *Leruste walks over to the noble who owns it "Excellent turnout as usual, I see."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The noble peers him up and down. "You have me at a loss, my good man. You are?"
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hilliard Yondaar. I attended the party around the same time last year, I believe. Alone that time, unfortunately.
01<@DeathStar> <Noble> Yes, yes; this is quite the beauty at your arm. What is her name?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Tabitha. I met her last spring, I believe it was. Though I imagine such concepts as spring and winter don't mean anything in the desert.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles and giggles as the man takes her hand, kissing it. "You have met quite the desert rose. Perhaps you would like to dine at my table later, dear?" 6* He says, putting the moves on
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> We would be honored. *He says smugly, sneaking in a self-invitation
01<@DeathStar> 6* The noble nods and smiles. "Then I will save you a seat later.

03* kalonZombie_ is now known as kalonZombie
<kalonZombie> *Leruste looks at Rachael "Well then Tabitha, shall we go dance?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I would like that, Hilliard
<kalonZombie> *He takes her out to the dance floor, placing one hand around her waist and the other in her hand, and starts dancing
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael studies how the other nobles dance, slow movements, and mimics them, smiling
<kalonZombie> *He smiles back "I think I have the best woman in this entire party"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't know; there's several uh, pretty women here. 6* She eyes young women on old men's arms, fawning
<kalonZombie> *Leruste keeps smiling "Yes but I know something they don't"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> What's that?
<kalonZombie> *Leruste leans in and whispers "You're not just dating me because of my money"
Session Time: Fri Jan 07 00:00:01 2011

<kalonZombie> *Leruste dances with Rachael, looking around and spying some noble wearing a necklace worth about as much as the ruby Parita lifted the other day
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Mmmmm, are your eyes not on me?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Sorry, it's just... that woman has a necklace worth a fortune
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Stealing that would end the party soon, wouldn't it? There's no way a lady would not notice that missing
<kalonZombie> *He smiles at her "I guess you're right. Maybe I'll steal it on the way out"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael pouts at him. "What if she is a noble that donates to the poor? Can you be sure?"
<kalonZombie> *He keeps dancing, thinking "Yeah, I guess you're right. What would I ever do without you?" *He asks as he dips her and pulls her back up
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles at the dipping and presses against him, peering to see if the nobles took notice due to their stuffy dancing
<kalonZombie> *He smiles again and continues dancing, looking at her "Be honest. If Val found out you were party crashing, how mad would he be?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> If we didn't do anything bad, I suppose not too bad; he became a noble for a while himself
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> How did he manage that?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I--well... long story... 6* She manages a weak smile, not wanting to talk about the Evil Valen times.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Gotchya. Another story for another time. *He takes a step back and bows to her as the song ends
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael curtseys back, smiling again.
<kalonZombie> *He smiles, heading towards the butler serving champagne, grabbing two glasses and handing one to her
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes it, sipping it, then blinking. "Wow."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Like I said, this crowd knows it's expensive drinks *He sips from his glass
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes a normal swallow like it were a drink
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Don't drink too much, they'll probably serve some wine at dinner, and I know how you are with drinks
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> H-How? 6* She asks, eyeing him with a slight tint to her cheeks
<kalonZombie> *Leruste grins slyly and says quietly "Oh come on, you don't think I've already forgotten the night at the gypsy camp, have you?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blushes, peering away as if completely innocent. "I-I do not know what you mean." 6* She says, a slight accent to her words now; but she does sip the drink normally
<kalonZombie> *He sips the drink and takes her hand, kissing the back of it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles at him, giggling again; she watches the nobles dancing to their slow paced music. "Why don't they want to shake their hips a little?"
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Because it's not "dignified" apparently.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Why? 6* She looks absolutely baffled
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I don't know. Nobles usually have a stick up their butt about stuff like that... *He stands there for a bit, sipping his champagne, then gets an evil grin "Want to show them how to have fun when dancing?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Sure!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael finishes her drink to set it down
<kalonZombie> *He finishes his own as well, setting it down, taking her to the dance floor, starting to dance like the rest of the nobles, but deciding to liven it up a bit after a short while
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael slowly swishes her hips as they dance
<kalonZombie> *Leruste dances ever so slightly faster than the rest of them, smiling the entire time, not caring about the looks they may be getting
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael does a twirl in his arms
<kalonZombie> *He dips her low when the twirl ends, only to pull her up hard enough so she goes flying the way he pulled her, catching her by the fingers
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael gasps, then grins as he catches her
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You're pretty good
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> So are you *He pulls her back and holds her close, looking around at the rest of the nobles
01<@DeathStar> 6* The nobles are all peering at them, some whispering
<kalonZombie> *He smiles and takes a step back, bowing again, grinning slyly
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael curtseys, then stands up as proper as she can, while tipsy, acting all proper now. The noble's house they're visiting eyes her, a smile there
01<@DeathStar> 6* Leering like Valen's smiles
<kalonZombie> *Leruste wraps his arm around Rachael's, a subtle reminder to the noble whose date she actually is
01<@DeathStar> 6* The noble turns back to his wife, talking casually; the nobles return to their dancing
<kalonZombie> *Leruste smiles "I think someone's a little jealous he didn't snatch you up before I did"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Who?
<kalonZombie> *He nods towards the noble
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal sits near the exit to the thieves guild. Eyeing it like he wants to leave.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose oepns the door
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances, peering at him talking to his wife, then at Leruste. "Him? He's married, though."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah, but remember your own cover story. Stuff like that usually doesn't stop nobles.
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Can't go.
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Why?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, then nods, giggling. "Right; they like lots of owmen."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste smiles "You don't have to worry about that from me though, no matter what anybody else tells you"
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Might get caught. Tal'Ka stand out in crowd.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> That's good. I trust you
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose looks about, then tosses a pretty cloak on Tal
<kalonZombie> *Leruste smiles, then starts showing her the art of mingling until dinner is announced
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal catches it and sniffs, making a face. Pretty.
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Looks good!
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal hmphs and puts the cloak on, making sure to put the hood up and loosk for some gloves too.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose looks about, then hands over pink silk gloves
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans in, sstaring in awe at some paintings
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Wow
<@Xanatos> <Tal> ....girly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose sniffles
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal sighs and puts them on, then peers at himself. Stand out even more now.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah, this guy actually knows his art, which is better than most nobles can say
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose smiles happily, though and leads him outside
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Though I've seen paintings that look more real in ruins
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I saw one before I met you out in a digger camp
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Really? what was on it?
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal is lad, grumbling about being dainty.
<@Xanatos> NRP: leg*
<@Xanatos> NRP: led. :(
<kalonZombie> *Leruste describes whatever it was on the mural in the ruins
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, musing
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose walks along until they reach vendors and stuff; some street urchins run over and look Tal over, giggling and touching
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal jerks and fidgets. Don't touch!
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Also saw one of what looked like Jean with fox ears
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I was surprised to see her fox ears and tail when she weas ... well, deadish. But now they're gone again. Gemane's looks nice, so I wonder hwy she hides her's
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Don't know
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm. Oh well, maybe like the reason I hide mien
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Probably. Which is a shame, I like them. They're cute.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hee; well, if she ever lets Jean out, you can always ask her to show them
<kalonZombie> *He smiles "I'd like that"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks as the dinner bell goes off, meanwhile, kids leap on Tal's back to get rides - they're only 3 or 4 at least
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Rose! Tal being attacked!
<kalonZombie> *Leruste wraps his arm around hers, escorting her to the table with the house's owner at it, pulling a seat out for her
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> ... 6* She begins to form her crystal sword
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal jerks and waves his food arm. Joking!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose blinks, then jerks, smiling and pats the kids heads innocently
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal makes sure his hood doesn't come off lest he scare the kids.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Finally the kids move on to other targets; one girl hugs Tal and then hurries after the boys
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits graciously, then eyes the food with wide eyes; so many rare meats and other items
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Kids like me. 6He says proudly.
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Tal have good heart
<kalonZombie> *Leruste sits between her and the noble
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Hmph. Big and scary!
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> But good heart!
01<@DeathStar> 6* The noble frowns in disappointment. "So, where do you hail from?"
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal makes a frustrated sound but slumps. Fine. Tal have good heart.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Accona. I had some business to attend to in Sinai, and I figured what perfect way to end a business trip was with one of your wonderful parties?
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Tal....?
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal tilts his head and looks confused.
01<@DeathStar> <Noble> You are certain right about that
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Does Rose have good heart?
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal hmms and leans forward sniffing her.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste smiles "I brought Tabitha with me just so we could attend one. I don't get the chance to throw my own very often, sadly, so I figured she should experience it at least once in her life."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose peers at him as if truly thinking it will tell him
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> He was right about your parties; there is nothing else like them!
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses and smiles. Rose good heart. Just need Tal'Ka's guidance.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I even made sure to undersell it, and still make it sound very lavish and impressive, just so she would be surprised
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose considers. "Who is Rose?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> He's very tricky that way
<kalonZombie> *Leruste chuckles and starts on his soup, leaning over to Rachael discreetly and whispering "Start from the outside and work your way in"
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal blinks and points to her. You.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Racchael blink and begins to eat as Leruste does, observing the other women; being a bit drunk her movement is a bit comical, which the noble man finds amusing
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Rose have nothing before met Tal and others?
<kalonZombie> *He smiles, looking at the noble "You'll have to excuse her, I only recently hired her, she's not quite so used to the higher way of life"
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Rose was...misguided. Controlled by gods. Not allowed to be own person. Now she is and she seems like a good person to Tal'Ka. Strong too.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose smiles and peers at all the vendors trying to sell their wares at high prices
01<@DeathStar> <Noble> I understand. 6* He smiles. Rachael accidently has a snail shoot off her utensil into a woman's cleavage that is givingh er the eye
<kalonZombie> *Leruste starts passing his napkin down "My apologies, miss..?
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman jerks and fumbles, making noises, while the noble man laughs, amused. "Come now, you did the same thing once when you were younger."
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Vendors expensive. 6He notes. Plus Tal have no money.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste smiles at that, looking at Rachael as he starts on the salad
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Why yell so loud at people passing and shoving things at them?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael eats her salad, her hair twitching very slightly as her ears move in amusement
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Want people to spend money on stuff.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste wipes his mouth "So aside from this glorious ballroom, what other rooms are you proud of in your beautiful home?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose watches them shove an apple into a guy's pocket, then make him py
01<@DeathStar> <Noble> Well, there's...6* He prattles for 10 full minutes. Rachael looks bored after a bit
<kalonZombie> *Leruste gets bored after a minute, but pretends to be interested the entire time, eating slowly and sipping the wine that's served
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Should back away, might try with us.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose eyes them but nods, wanting to be good
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael drinks some of the wine; as he reaches the end she begins to giggle
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal hmms and glances around, trying to figure out where he and Rose can go.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste smiles and keeps eating, remembering the entire time why he prefers the cheap stuff at pubs
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose hears music and wanders that way
01<@DeathStar> 6* As the desert comes out, Rachael eyes the cake, blinking
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Wonderful cake. I may have to hire your baker from under you.
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal goes to take her elsewhere then jerks at her not being there and runs after her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael eats it and mmmms dramatically
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose watches some poor people singing and dancing for coin; most walk by
<kalonZombie> *Leruste eats it as well, savoring it. Maybe there's ONE thing Nobles know aside from expensive drinks
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal stands off to the side with rose and watches them dance then glances to Rose. Trying to get coin.
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Why?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael gobbles her down despite being thin and looks joyful. <Noble> Perhaps later I can show you two some more desserts."
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Not have any. Use coin for food and clothing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose thinks and tosses a coin down for them
<kalonZombie> *Leruste looks at Rachael, unsure if he should take him up on the offer, seeing as how she's pretty drunk
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks at Leruste and smiles, hiccing a little
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Kind heart Rose. 6He swoons.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> What do you say dear?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose flusters slightly. "Tal said it was needed for food and clothing."
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Proof that Rose is good. Bad person would keep coin. Maybe even take what little they have.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose frowns. "That's evil. Rose kill evil."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh, um...sure!
<kalonZombie> *Leruste keeps sipping his wine, finishing his glass nervously
01<@DeathStar> 6* As the dinner wraps up, the noble rises and moves to step out, waving a hand for them to follow
<kalonZombie> *Leruste gets up and helps Rachael up, wrapping his arm around hers, mostly to try and support her
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows, peering at the various bases and artwork as they are led along upstairs
<kalonZombie> *Leruste leans over and whispers "If he tries making a move on you, just say that our driver can't wait any longer and we have to head back to Accona
<@Seraphna> *S adye looks away, "Be g-glad shse didn't look more then twice
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods. The noble opens doors to a private area where more food isw set out and various desserts. "You must try some of this."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste heads over to one of the desserts and starts eating one of the fancier looking ones first
<@Xanatos> <Tal> In time, Rose.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose walks along, peering about the city
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> What does tal do for fun?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans over and takes one. "<Noble> You two should stay here as guests; unless your return to Accona is urgent."
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Don't know. Never did before.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> We can stay for a bit longer, but I'm afraid we'll have to leave soon
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Never?
01<@DeathStar> <Noble> That is a shame. I think you are the first to ever turn down an invitation to stay at my house
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Past life maybe. Ever since become Tal...busy on hunt, or run away. Or locked in jail. Or fight for Angel.
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Is Angel good?
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Don't know. Jean is. Angel...Tal not sure.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> It is an honor to be sure good sir, but it really is slightly urgent. Perhaps another time.
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Should Rose defeat Angel?
01<@DeathStar> 6* The noble nods, sighing. Rachael looks woozy. <Rachael> I think we should get the driver.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Of course my dear. I'm sorry my good sir, but I have to cut our stay shorter than I expected. I hope we can see you again soon.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The noble sighs and nods, eyeing them once more as they exit. Rachael breathes in the air. "Wow, too much sweets."
<@Xanatos> <Tal> If Prophecy come true and she try to destory Tareh.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste starts escorting her down to the gates "Yeah. You okay?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah; I'm doing some healing so I don't make this a bad date
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Tareh.. planet?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> It wouldn't be a bad date even if you didn't do that *He kisses her cheek
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Yes!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hee, well, no worries
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Rose understand!
<kalonZombie> *He slowly leads her back to the Guild, smiling the entire time
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose peers at a pretty wristband
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal smiles and nods, pausing to glance at what she's looking at.
01<@DeathStar> 6* It's a simple wristband that looks pink, for 5 copper
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael steps in and twirls onto a couch, giggling
<kalonZombie> *He sits next to her, smiling "So did you have fun living on the other side of the law, even if it was just only a little bit?"
<@Xanatos> k6* Tal feels himself down in hopes of a random coin.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> It was differently nice!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Tal finds 1 silver
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal holds it up in victory! Then pauses and offers to buy the wristband for Rose.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose blinks and smiles widely, hugging him as she picks it up and holds it like it were gold
<kalonZombie> *He smiles and pulls her into him, undoing some of the more restraining parts of his outfit "I used to do it once or twice a month. Even crashed Neraz's place once, course he doesn't really know my face all that well"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles, and begins to pull off some layers of the dress
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen steps in, apparently having been out, he pauses to see Rachael removing clothing and eyes the two of them.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Oh calm down, we're just getting more comforable. These things get tight
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal smiles and then takes her to a tavern to spend the rest of the money on food.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael finally breathes in some air when she's done to a simple underoutfit to the dress, which still covers more than her normal attire
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Excuse me?
01<@DeathStar> <Rahael> How do they breathe
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose walks in, eyeing all the men drinking and groping women
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> You were giving me this look like we were about to do something
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal makes sure they get a table to themselves, standing more upright so that everyone knows he's here with Rose and that he's protecting her.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Years of practice, I imagine.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> That's all fine and well, boy. However you should watch your tone with me or the next time I will. 6He pauses and gets an odd smile. I'll allow you to fill in the blanks on what I am capable of. 6He steps off to one of the side rooms now, in a dramatic display.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste waves his hand in a whatever tone, too tipsy and happy with Rachael to take the threat seriosuly
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men seem to get the alpha wolf's intentions and don't. Rose peers at the food, then at Tal. "What good to eat?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael snickers, then laughs
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal shrugs slightly. I don't know! 6He says with a hearty laugh.
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Meat!?
<kalonZombie> *Leruste snickers a little bit too, before realizing he doesn't know what he's laughing at "What's so funny?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hee-hee--he did that once when he was 12 and some boy was picking on me. It was cute. They beat up each other bloody and the boy never picked on me again. They also became friends
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Okay!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose orders fish
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> So all you're saying is I just have to get beat up a lil' and he'll lemme alone? *He pauses, pretending to think for comical effect "Yeah, you're worth it *He hugs her from behind
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal orders drinks for himself and Rose and then any kinds of foods that they can get with his remaining copper.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks then giggles, patting his head
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose drinks and eats the fish happily. "What's tal's home like?"
<kalonZombie> *He kisses the top of her head, rocking her in his arms
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Erm. Island...so water is all around. Full of Mar'Kus like me. Big and strong. But pack is ruled by Alpha, and Tal'Ka not like elder's opinion.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> H-Hey--hee. 6* she squirms playfully
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> What was opinion?
<kalonZombie> *He giggles a bit and starts playfully wrestling with her
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael grins and 'fights' against him. "H-Hey, nofair! I'm a meek girl unlike Kaelan1"
<kalonZombie> *He keeps 'fighting' her, grinning "Yeah but yer all in front of me and pinning me
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Wanted to stay on island, only sail out for supply that could not be made. Afraid, Mar'Kus should not hide like chickcluck Tal'Ka thinks.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to try to sit on his chest to win
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Brave is good!
<kalonZombie> *He 'resists' a little, but ends up 'losing' "Oh darn"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hmph; I win! Hee. 6* Gemane walks along
<kalonZombie> *He looks up smiling "Yup. Guess you do *He wraps his arms around her waist as she sits on his chest
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael lets him, her ego stroked at her victory
<kalonZombie> *He keeps looking up at her, and can't help but laugh a little
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Tal agree!
<@Xanatos> <Tal> That why I'm here. Left to prove Mar'Kus can live on mainland. But people afraid of Tal...so maybe elder right.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> W-What?
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Rose not afraid of Tal; children not
<kalonZombie> *Leruste smiles, as he calms his laughing down "Nothing, nothing. It's just... *He snirks "I never thought the beautiful girl would end up kidnapping the sly thief"
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Adults are. Years of being grown and told that different is BAD.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hmph. I did not kidnap. I simply enticed you and sat on you
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Maybe Jean will change world
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah well you're just a rope-tying away from kidnapping
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Nephilim did teach me how to use ropes to tie people up
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Kinky
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael huffs at him. "See if I tie you up now."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Aww
<@Xanatos> <Tal> It's why...I'm here. 6He says with a slight shrug, pausing to eyes his food quietly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose rubs Tal's back. "Rose believe Tal will help do it."
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal nods once. But won't succeed without Rose! 6He smiles.
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> rose will help. Tal is friend
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> I'll tie you up, Leruste.
<@Xanatos> <Tal> Best friend?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> It wouldn't be the same, Gemane
01<@DeathStar> <Rose> Yep!
01<@DeathStar> <Gemane> ... hmph. 6* Her ears droop and she walks off
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Aw, I think I hurt her feelings
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Meanie
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I didn't mean to
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal smiles and eats on some meat, looking happy despite his recent arm injury looming about.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I know; she was probably joking
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose eats, too, peering at his arm and plotting for the future
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Oh. Didn't catch that, guess I'm too tipsy
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal blinks at her peering, doing the confused head tilt that most animals do.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste looks up at Rachael and tries to get up to kiss her
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks but returns the kiss, mmming
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose mimicsw it
<kalonZombie> *Leruste smiles, turning her back around and starts massaging her shoulders
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks but then lets out a pleased sigh, her ears twitching happily
<kalonZombie> *He massages her happily
<@Xanatos> 6* Tal hehs and continues eating till he's full and happy.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rose finishes her fish happily, looking in heaven
