<DeathStar> Date: 4.18.2389
<DeathStar> Location: Nuege Royal Palace - West Side
<DeathStar> 6* The group would find themselves sleeping in their comfy beds with no slit throats during the night. Assuming Dahok didn't order Mercy to sleep in the same bed as him, he would have, instead, a bearoar.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok snores a bit, his face planted in his pillow
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sits up lazily, looking better for once, compared to the last week where she's been paler, despite her creamy complextion
* Kaelan yawns softly and curls up a little in the bed, in Jean's still if Zeal didn't remove her.
* Zeal has no idea when if she came back.
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal would be in her own room, since the bearoar came back and all, and Kyle wasn't going to stand around out by an inn all night. Carly, however, refused to do so
* Kaelan opens her eyes, looking up. "You look like you slept well..." *she yawns again*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Felt like sleeping on cloud!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns and rolls off the bed and onto the floor with a loud thud. He groans a bit and reaches around to grab onto the edge of the bed
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar shifts to take over all of the bed now
<Kaelan> "It is an amazing bed..." *she sits up, looking about* "I wonder if Zeal got back last night, no one woke me."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then hops off in her silk robe and moves out of the room to open Zeal's door and peek in. "ZEAL!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok lazilly crawls onto the bed and over Baby, he plops down.
* Kaelan slides out of the bed and follows her.
* Zeal shrieks slightly, and topples out of bed, dressed like Mercy and groaning
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at Zeal in a royal, silky maid outfit.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal working at castle now?
<Kaelan> "Wow... nice outfit Zeal."
* Zeal rolls over, then sits up, blinking for a moment and looking tired still and frayed-- then jerks.
<Zeal> I-- uh...
<Kaelan> "It looks cute."
<DeathStar> <Jean> If ring bell, will Zeal serve Jean?
* Kaelan looks for the room's bell and gives it to Jean.
* Zeal makes a slight face, looking embarassed. 1"L-Lady Al'ryl..."
* Zeal gets up, frowning a bit as she adorns the 'Proud Maid' title.
<Kaelan> "Only one way to find out."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Baby, you're not comfortable at all.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean grabs a bell and rings it happily.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar roars.
* Zeal jerks again, eyeing Jean sheepishly.
* Kaelan giggles.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean want a hug!
* Zeal deadpans, then sighs, walking over and hugging Jean.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Did you sleep well atleast?
<Zeal> I-It is a cover.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs back; then looks as Mercy stands in the doorway. <Mercy> Do you need something, my ladies?
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar answers by --- sleeping more on the silk bed, drooling on it
* Zeal peers over at Mercy.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to stand up now, he rubs Baby's side and he groggilly moves over to his clothing
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks, having not heard the maid approach, and looks back. "Good morning!"
* Kaelan smiles a bit. "Sorry Mercy, we were playing around, when's breakfast?"
<Zeal> I-- I require a bath, lady Mercy.
* Zeal shifts toward the maid, escaping Jean and Kaelan
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Breakfast will be ready in about 30 minutes, my ladies. 6* She glances at Zeal, and bows. "Please follow me." <Jean> Jean take bath, too! 6* She hops after her.
* Zeal squints, rubbing her cheek as she follows Mercy
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok puts on his underoo's, nearly falling over. He moves to open the door and steps outside, his hands rubbing his face
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy leads them along past Dahok without batting an eye, while Jean waves at him
* Zeal jerks and moves more quickly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Morning Mercy. 6He gives her a tired smile and he waves at Jean. 1"Hey Jean. Where you girls heading?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Bath!
* Zeal peers the other way, hiding her face
* Kaelan smiles a bit more and moves over to her room to get on her new outfit.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> This early?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, stepping out down the stairs after Mercy, who doesn't stop in her step, as if sensing Zeal's needs.
* Kaelan peeks out of her room. "Zeal didn't take one yet, I think."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pokes his head back into his room and he moves over to Baby and picks him up. 1"I think it's time you have a bath Baby. With girls."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar bites at him
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh come on. You don't want to see Zeal and Jean naked?
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy leads them up one floor, then steps in to the valve and turns it to fill the water up, then points out the soap, and the hair wash.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar acts bored and tries to sleep
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Do you require anything else, my ladies?
<Kaelan> * Kaelan steps out of her room, fixing the outfit, trying to adjust her sword belt around her waist.
<Zeal> Will you not assist, lady Mercy?
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy pauses, then bows. "OF course, Lady Zeal."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks curiously as she pulls off her robe.
* Zeal nods, and walks over to help until Mercy's outfit.
<Zeal> nrp: *untie!
<DeathStar> 6* The maid blinks, probably not used to being the one who gets their clothes taken off by another, but complies. Underneath the maid outfit she wears a silk bra and underwear that is clearly for looks, than it is for comfort. One can guess why she wears it.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hops into the water and stretches happily.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok tosses Baby over his shoulder and he moves out of his room
* Kaelan looks over to Dahok. "Trying to corrupt our Baby?"
* Kaelan grins.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar looks about lazily, wondering if he's about to be used as a meat shield when the girls see Dahok
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Huh?
* Zeal pats Mercy's shoulder, then turns for her to do the same. It required her help getting on in the first place, so she likely assumed Mercy would need the help.
<Kaelan> "The rooms aren't that far apart." *she smirks* "Are you really going to follow them to the baths?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy begins to undress Zeal, and takes only a few seconds to get Zeal undressed. She reaches and calmly removes any undergarments that Zeal has on for her without a second's thought
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Baby needs a bath. 6He shrugs and moves for the baths now
* Zeal does jerk at that, but then just breathes out, smiling at Mercy before slipping into the water.
* Kaelan sighs and rubs her temple. "I'd better make sure you aren't maimed too horribly." *she follows him*
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy gets naked as well, having surprisingly decent sized breasts that aren't too big. She calmly wraps her long hair up in a bundle above her head, then gets into the water herself, reaching out and getting the soap; she begins to lather up Zeal's back.
<DeathStar> 6* As the others reach the baths, the door is shut, and a sign says "In Use"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok just casually moves to open the door
* Kaelan points at the sign. "Could go after breakfast."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Jean would love Baby's company
* Zeal leans forward and closes her eyes with a content sigh 1"Aah... so long since.."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar roars
<DeathStar> 6* JEan pauses, glancing toward the door
<Kaelan> "Alright... don't say I didn't give ample warning."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok just gives her a wry smile and he moves inside. 1"Jean, I bring you another bathmate to play with!"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy glances up from behind Zeal as she continues to massage/wash Zeal's shoulders, eyeing the bearoar and making a slight face
* Zeal peers over, deadpanning at Dahok's voice.
* Kaelan slips in quietly after him, moving to one side.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at the bearoar, and shrinks back. "B-But Baby smells and shakes water in my face."
* Zeal reaches for the soap bar and hurtles it at Dahok. 1"LEAVE AT ONCE, YOU SCOUNDREL!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok ducks as it goes soaring at him and over.
* Zeal hurtles one of the glass containers as a secondary
<Kaelan> "Careful she doesn't throw those magic vials at you."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy pauses as the soap bar goes flying, then calmly rises out to get another soap bar.
<Zeal> L-Lady Mercy!!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Really? He does that? 6He shifts a hand and grabs the glass as it comes in. 1"Hey, no need to throw things like a child throwing a fit
<DeathStar> <Mercy> The Prince will not be pleased if we are too late for breakfast. I must finish attending to you both
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar's weight on one hand teeters Dahok now
<Zeal> H-Have mercy--" 6She pauses at the saying. 1"...Y-You should not show yourself so."
<Kaelan> "M-Maybe you should... look away Dahok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy takes the bar of soap, looking to the side and looking troubled. "I understand, Lady Zeal. Forgive me." 6* She gives back into the water and moves to attend to Zeal again
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok makes an uh oh face at the teetering bit and he quickly tosse sthe glass jar to Kaelan. "Catch."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean watches the chaos about her, actually covering herself up
* Kaelan sighs and grabs the glass jar from the air, holding onto it. "We should probably not toss glass around."
* Zeal eyes Mercy, frowning, then quietly says. 1"Did I say something disturbing..?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Of course not, Lady Zeal. 6* She notes quickly
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well if he makes that big a of mess, I'll just bathe him myself later." 6He turns and moves to leave now
* Zeal gets a stern expression. 1"Be honest."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy peers down. "You are merely right; a true lady does not show herself so."
<DeathStar> <Jean> He also bites if you wash his lower thigh area!
* Kaelan lets out a quiet sigh of relief, she moves over and sets the bottle down on the side of the bath. "Is this the one that makes bubbles?"
<DeathStar> 6* A little fluff ball mewls up at Dahok and Kaelan. Soma looks up.
<Zeal> True la-- lady Mercy, I say such things because you are of the same as I. Flesh and blood. True and true.
* Kaelan blinks and looks down at Soma, picking him up and setting him on her chest. "Soma... hey."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So you going to eat with us? 6He peers down at Soma
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I am not the same as you, Lady Zeal. 6* She notes, her tone leaving no room for argument on that.
<Kaelan> "Where's Rachael?"
<DeathStar> 6* Soma and the bearoar eye each other in classic Zeal/Dahok glares
* Kaelan tucks Soma into her cleavage and pets him.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm heading down to breakfast. 6* She notes, moving down from the top floor, dressed in another silky dress and her hair down, with her ears covered.
* Zeal grasps at her wrist, frowning. 1"Yes, you are. Pride in one's work, whatever it may be, is an honorable thing-- but one must have pride in oneself as well."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns to look at Rachael, his jaw dropping a bit. 1"Wow."
<Kaelan> "Alright, I'll join you." *she heads over after Rachael*
<DeathStar> 6* Prince Arcane steps down after Rachael, pausing at the bathroom and blinking. "You all make quite the commotion." 6* He notes in amusement
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy peers up at the prince, then back down obediently.
* Kaelan giggles, "This isn't one of the more chaotic moments either."
<Zeal> Thy prince, how shameful." 6She jerks, blinking at the doorway
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It was Baby. 6He points at him as he moves after Rachael and Kaelan and the Prince
<DeathStar> 6* The Prince peers at Kaelan, nodding once. "I see. Mercy, try to make sure the food is on time." 6* He moves on down the stairs.
* Kaelan smiles and heads down the stairs as well.
* Zeal huffs slightly, frowning in thought.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean uncovers herself slowly, then peers at Zeal and Mercy, then back. "Prince was trying to look at Zeal's melons!"
<Zeal> Hence my chiding!
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy resumes washing Zeal; though her touch is still massaging like, she's at a faster pace.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Think he likes Zeal?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So did you sleep well Rachael?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael doesn't glance back as she walks. "Yes."
<Zeal> It matters little.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well that's good.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> So, have you all found everything to your liking? I hope you have had time to discuss my proposition.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Why?
<Zeal> I do not know the prince-- he does not know me. Liking me is of little consequence.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I got to know Mercy a bit. She's a nice woman."
* Kaelan looks at Rachael as she walks after her. "Oh yes, it's been very nice."
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Yes, Mercy is a very good servant. Her family has been with us for generations.
<Zeal> What is important between people is their feelings. I refuse the bishop because I have no feelings-- his are forfeit in winning my hand without lifting a finger.
* Kaelan looks at the Prince. "We umm... didn't get to talk much, but I believe we'll likely be helping, for the sake of those elves if for no other reason."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy washes along Zeal's arms, then her sides and stomach, shifting around in front of Zeal as she continues.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'll be helping.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> I see. That is good news.
<Zeal> Which reminds me." 6She leans in close to Mercy. 1"Lady Mercy, this is important-- will you not answer me truthfully..?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I cannot lie to a guest of the prince.
<Kaelan> "I just... can't speak for Zeal."
<Zeal> The king, I have not met. What is the man like-- What is his opinion of elves..? These things I do not know-- and honestly I cannot say the same of the prince. Is everything as he says? Or is there more to be said?
<DeathStar> 6* Arcane stops on the floor with the dining area, moving toward a large table that stretches on; a beautiful woman in her forties can be seen setting down trays of food. Things like pancakes, uncommon for the commoners, is laid out, and bacon of the highest quality.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's jaw drops at all the food. He quickly pats Baby and points
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I do not work for the King, Lady Zeal. But the Prince is a good man.
* Kaelan gasps, looking at the food. "Oh... wow..."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar rumps toward it to climb up onto the table. The older red haired woman takes a laddle and threatens him back
<Zeal> Truly? Then his opinions of elves are of a positive mould?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly moves over and grabs Baby. 1"Show some manners Baby."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I do not know much about such matters. Though if the Prince has said he will do something, he will do it.
<DeathStar> <Older Woman> I will not be havin' monsters eating in the prince's dining hall!
<Zeal> Then-- how does he treat you?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> He's not a monster, he's our friend.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I am treated well. My family has been here for generations.
<Kaelan> "Baby's part of our group as much as anyone in it."
<Zeal> Then you never feel what he does is unjust or cruel?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So Prince, what is all of this food?
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Harmony, please - set down a plate on the floor for their friend. It will be okay. 6* The older woman nods and moves to get a plate for the bearoar, eyeing it
<DeathStar> <Mercy> He is my prince.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What do you say Baby? 6He looks at him
<Zeal> And I am asking for your words, not his title.
<DeathStar> 6* Baby responds by eating the food once it's placed down
* Zeal smiles softly. 1"This is between women, not of status or blood."
<Kaelan> "He says thank you, I'm sure." *she smiles and takes a seat*
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I cannot speak against my prince, Lady Zeal. Even if I do not always understand his decisions, he is my prince and he does not treat me cruely.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> He thanks you. 6He smiles at Harmony and grabs a plate, quickly stacking all the food he possibly can on his plate
* Zeal blinks and tilts her head, then seems to grin, lifting a hand to flick Mercy's nose lightly.
<DeathStar> 6* The Prince takes a seat at the head of the table. "We should wait for Jean and Zeal." 6* He notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks, looking up at her face, having been focused on washing. Which she has finished.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses, eyeing his plate then the prince and he hangs his head and sits down.
* Kaelan giggles a little at Dahok.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits down in a chair near the Prince, and lets Harmony place food onto her plate, as does the Prince.
<Zeal> Alright, then. Lady Al'ryl, will you give me a hand? I have kept her long enough, so we should be quick about her, no?" 6She grabs the soap.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle enters the dining hall to stand nearby.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> That is is alright, my ladies. I washed this morning already.
* Kaelan watches the two and waits to be served as well, biting her lower lip.
<Zeal> Perhaps so, but this is hardly washing." 6She descends on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks again.
* Zeal shakes her head, having done hardly more than wash her again, then steps out of the bath to dry off. 1"Well, now, quick about it."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows her head and gets them both dried off. Jean hurries off in her robe to get dressed, while Mercy peers at Zeal. "Do you wish to put on the same clothing, or another set?"
<Zeal> The same is fine. If it is well enough for you, I can hardly be found complaining.
* Zeal smiles. 1"Besides, it has a purpose."
* Kaelan studies Rachael for a moment, then looks down at her plate.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows, then helps get her dressed. "I do not understand."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his head, having never put a shirt on yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael seems to have her gaze on the food, while Harmony flutters about
<Zeal> You might not have needed a bath, yet I live by a manner of returning favors. I also have been studying you.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Studying me? 6* She finishes dressing Zeal, and moves to get her own clothes on as well
* Zeal steps over to help her, then moves to the door and opens it, gesturing for Mercy to go first.
<Zeal> As a stranger, I could hardly say it would be easy to get close to a monarch, would you not agree?
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bites her lip, clearly not wanting to do so, but goes first as gestured. As they head down, they'd find Jean bounding out in a silk dress, her hair in a ponytail.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Only special guests normally meet with the Prince in such manners.
* Kaelan looks back up and around the table. "So... what is this material made of anyway?" *she gently pulls at the silk clinging to her* "It's a lot nicer then anything I'm used to."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean then bounds down the stairs like a child and reaches the dining hall floor, tripping and falling flat on her face. Arcane glances back, studying her
<Zeal> Yes, and to fulfill the prince's aide, we must move in on the king, still. A simpler task for a servant.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers back and he gets up, moving over and helping her up
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You alright, Jean?
* Zeal steps down the stairs alongside Mercy, smiling at her.
* Kaelan peers over in surprise, she stops getting up when Dahok beats her to it.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I see. 6* She pauses, then hurries down to help Jean, biting her lip in worry. "Sorry, my lord. I should have been more careful watching her."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean glances up and nods, rubbing her nose with a pained look. "I o'kay."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's alright, Mercy. 6He smiles at her and dusts Jean off.
<Kaelan> "No need to worry Mercy."
<DeathStar> 6 *Rachael looks over. "You should move slowly in such dresses, Jean."
<DeathStar> 6* The Prince simply gives a smile to Mercy, and she moves over to stand by Harmony; it's clear they're related, having red hair and green eyes
* Zeal hops down lightly beside Mercy and glances over at the prince. 1"Yes, lady Rachael is correct, lady Al'ryl. Forgive us, thy prince, I kept her at my behest for longer than assumed necessary."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leas Jean to a stop, pulling a chair out ofr her
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> It is alright. As long as Mercy attended to what you needed. Please, sit.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sits down, rubbing her nose furiously, then eyes the fluffy pancakes placed down by Harmony and Mercy moves to fill up Zeal's plate.
* Zeal nods, holding up a hand and bows slightly, then seats herself on Rachael's side, peering over at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean immediately takes a bite. "Fluffy!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How do they taste? 6He plops down and starts eating his food.
* Kaelan giggles a little and looks at her pancakes curiously. "Fluffy... round bread?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Tastes fluffy!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses then starts eating them faster
<DeathStar> <Arcane> If you like it, add some of the syrup to them. 6* Jean complies, burying the pancakes in the sticky stuff, then eats
* Kaelan tries some syrup, blinking, "It's sweet!"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Zeal, then takes a fork and eats the food, sipping the fruit juice provided. Arcane smiles at Jean, studying her carefully, then looks at Zeal. "Your friends have told me of their decision to help."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grabs some and does so, he pauses again then really goes to town on them
* Kaelan starts to eat eagerly.
* Zeal instinctively reaches to take out her stowed silverware, but realizes she currently doesn't have it, then smiles sheepishly when she realizes she didn't need to in this particular situation
<Zeal> Did they..? I never received a chance to speak to them myself.
<Kaelan> "Just our choice, not yours Z." *she smiles*
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Sir Kyle mentioned you were out for some time getting everything.
<Zeal> Yes, and I had intended on speaking to lady Rachael upon my return, yet she was unavailable and everyone was asleep. It did not seem proper to chase the situation any further than that.
<DeathStar> <Arcane> I understand. If you wish to delay on deciding anything, I understand. Though the longer we wait, the less time you will have to try to get into the church archieve; once news from the church arrives here, I imagine security will be heightened.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Baby, you have to try the bacon. 6He tosses him a piece and starts munching on more
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar eats it up. Soma, meanwhile, tries to get out of his breast cage and moves along the table toward the food.,
* Kaelan gently grabs him up and starts to feed the kitten some bacon.
<Zeal> Ah, well, my decision is simple.
<DeathStar> 6* RAchael peers at Zeal again as she speaks, nibbling the bacon
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You plan on helping, don't you. 6He looks at Zeal
<Zeal> I plan on doing whatever lady Rachael wishes.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Whatever I decide? 6* She blinks a bit at that.
<Zeal> Indeed." 6She nods.
* Kaelan peers up from feeding Soma, setting him on her chest again. Continuing to ply him with meaty breakfast treats.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Even if it goes against what you believe to be right and wrong?
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Well, then it seems you've all decided to help. I am relieved.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean keeps eating away, her cheeks puffed out from the food; she strains to swallow
<Zeal> That is not a problem at all. As my sense of right and wrong tells me that my trust in lady Rachael is not misplaced. She is my friend, and I will do my best to support her plights.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael opens her mouth, then closes it, peering at her plate again, as if unsure what to say.
<Kaelan> "Jean hon, slow down and taste your food." *she giggles*
<Kaelan> "Chew... too..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean chews and swallows happily.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I see. 6He leans back now and peers over at Rachael a bit
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Then I imagine we should make plans on how to proceed.
<Kaelan> "Agreed."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm sure you've got an idea or two on how to approach this.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> It will depend on how best you think to proceed. It will need to be in such a manner not to implicate the Prince, of course.
<Zeal> I can place myself among the servants-- and snipe the king.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses at that. "I had already considered that I would be the best option to assassinate the King, actually."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I doubt the King would let a new servant near him, specially one that's not been part of the royal ramily.
<Kaelan> "Why...?"
* Kaelan looks over at Rachael.
<Zeal> I do not need to be that near. Do you doubt my aim? I could be in another tower.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at Rachael. 1"You plan on being turned in and having him inspect you?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The King takes a walk through the garden outside. I will simply show my elf ears, and snipe him with an arrow. They will assume it is in response to his abducting elves."
<Zeal> I do not want you to do it, lady Rachael.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hmmm. And how are we going to get you out?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You know, not caught.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If I do not escape, then I will surrender. I'll spend a few days in the cells, and when the Prince gets power, he'll let me out.
<Kaelan> "It.. sounds right."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Can you live with that?
<Zeal> If the prince releases you that is instant suspicion he favored the action.
<Kaelan> "Once he has power, does that matter?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We considered that; it will have to be under the guise of an attack on the cells. Elves are known to be "magical" after all. Blowing up a cell wall would be believeable.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Everyone thinks we're repsonsible for any bad deed, anyway.
<Zeal> Lady Rachael!
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael doesn't glance at Zeal, despite her saying her name. "As you can see, I'm the perfect assassin."
* Kaelan sighs a bit. "I can't help but feel like we're overlooking something."
<Zeal> No!
* Zeal slaps both of her hands onto the table, scowling. 1"You are not!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think I understand, Rachael. 6He nods to her. 1"Anything you want help with, let me know.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Zeal. Jean jerks at the slap on the table, looking at them
<Kaelan> "What do you intend to do Zeal? If you have your way and she doesn't do this?"
<Zeal> Vengeance is not a kind thing. Lady Rachael, I do not want you to kill.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yet you intend to do it yourself? 6* She snaps. "He's killing my people - half-elfs. I planned to stop him even if you all didn't."
<Zeal> Yes! I will!" 6She snaps back. 1"I am a soldier, lady Rachael!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I support Rachael behind this.
<Zeal> Leave the unsavory things of the world to us!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm not a child!
<Kaelan> "I'm with Rachael as well. Zeal, if you do it it will only raise suspicion to the Prince."
<Zeal> It has nothing to do with age!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Then what does it have to do with? I could have been a mass murderer before I met you, for all you know.
* Kaelan rubs her forehaed a little.
* Zeal twitches slightly. 1"You are a kind soul, so I refuse to believe that!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down as it's clear tensions are rising.
<Zeal> Killing a man because he has wronged elves will not bring any of them back to you-- especially not Valen. These are unrelated! So looking for the first way to attone in blood is wrong!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe you just want to believe I'm a kind soul!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's not about attoning Zeal. It's about standing up for her people.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm not Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks more angry, as if Zeal's words hit a mark somewhere
<Kaelan> "...Look, is there a way we could make Zeal look Elven? If she's so insistant on commiting the act herself, we should just let her."
<Zeal> I will remember our words for the rest of my life, lady Rachael. Bear it now, I will uphold my own. Your words can be steeled, but your heart and feelings cannot."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sorry Kaelan, if Rachael wants this then it's best we let her do it.
<Kaelan> "Zeal's not going to let her and we're wasting time arguing about it."
<Zeal> You are my friend, at convenience's end or not. My hands can soak themselves that yours remain clean. As it should be.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm doing it because it's what Valen would have done. And you won't stop me. I don't want anyone else doing things for me like this. Your mission is to protect Jean. Bottom line.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Or are you backing out on that already?
* Kaelan frowns and considers the situation, looking between them.
<Kaelan> "Can I suggest something?"
<Zeal> This is of no concern to my mission. This is what I want to do-- sir Lankin would never allow you to kill meaninglessly. I will not let you, either.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pushes his plate away.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And if you do this, you stand to ruin everything. First off, I was grabbed before many people saw me and spent the entire day and night in the Prince's room. You, however, have been seen about town. You might have even been seen with Kyle last night. If you're caught, it will link back to the Prince, and then Jean loses.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael rises to her feet now.
* Kaelan grits her teeth a little. "I... have an idea. Which may work for both of you."
<DeathStar> 6* Soma is hiding inside boobs.
<Zeal> If you do not believe I can use my bow as well as I can-- then I will use anima T. Can you argue that?
* Kaelan pets the kitten comfortingly.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh, so then you'll link this to Jean even more?!
* Kaelan takes in a breath.
* Kaelan stands up. "Both of you, stop it."
* Kaelan points to Zeal. "You will take the shot." *she points to Rachael* "And you will take the credit. Does that work for you both?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Kaelan.
* Zeal keeps her eyes locked on Rachael, as stubborn as ever.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stands up himself now. 1"Rachaels going to take the shot, if anyone wants to argue this, then you can leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean calmly rises, then leaves.
* Kaelan sighs. "Fine. Fine. Rachael, if you need assistance somehow, tell me, you seem dead set on doing this. Zeal, nothing you say is going to change it at this point so stop. Please." *she heads after Jean*
<Zeal> Shut up, you worthless mongrel. Leave? So she can run off and do it anyway?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You can't stop me, Zeal. 6* She notes flatly, then turns and moves to walk off.
* Kaelan turns at the stairs and eyes Zeal. "And watch your tongue, your friends are limited so treating them like lesser beings is not intelligent."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I don't like the killing thing, but I get it. I understand why she wants to do it and I'm not going to stop her from getting what she needs
* Kaelan heads after Jean, leaving.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves to head to the kitchen staff area.
<DeathStar> 6* Arcane silently peers at Kyle.
<Zeal> You know nothing, fisherman. Killing a human being is not a hunt-- not an animal. It's a life with ties to the world running deep in fates you could hardly understand.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at the Prince. 1"And you can guarantee that in the end she'll come out alive?"
* Zeal gets up quickly, following Rachael. 1"Ending their life isn't a release, it's putting the weight of their consequence on your own."
<DeathStar> <Prince> I cannot guarantee. I told her as much. It is a possibility she could be killed before I assume power.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then I guess if it comes down to it, I'll break her out.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves up the stairs to their rooms, her face blank
* Kaelan follows after her, watching her in concern.
<Kaelan> "Jean?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael storms through the kitchen staff area, pausing to take deep breaths as she eyes out a window at the time of day.
* Zeal follows her, holding the ends of the dress to move more easily.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy and Harmony move to start clearing the table while the Prince rises. <Prince Arcane> You do not understand how well guarded the dungeons are.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean doesn't say anything as she steps into Zeal's room, closing the door
* Kaelan blinks, she stops at the door and knocks. "Jean...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then I guess I risk either getting captured or dieing in the process. I almost died saving her life once I'm willing to do it again for any of my friends
<DeathStar> 6* Soma peers up at Kaelan.
* Kaelan looks down at him and pets him slowly, looking a bit worried.
<Kaelan> "Jean... talk to me...?"
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> The more people that get involved, the more dangerous the mission becomes. Do you think she would want that? You risking your life, and another protector of the Angel, to help free her, when she's decided on this path?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael turns to face Zeal, probably having heard her approach.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well in honestly, what we're doing now is already dangerous as it comes.
* Zeal says nothing, looking out of breath, but not from moving so much as from having lost her temper, even visibly, which is rare.
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Indeed. If you plan to add to the recklessness, you should be working to convince LAdy Rachael to let Lady Zeal take the shot, since if you tried to rescue her, you would simply make things worse for her.
* Kaelan tries the door.
<DeathStar> 6* IT's locked.
<Kaelan> "Jean... come on, open up. I'm worried about you."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I won't change my mind. 6* She says simply.
<DeathStar> <Soma> Mewl.
<DeathStar> 6* He peers at a keyhole
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Zeal takes the risk of getting captured herself and if that happens, we'll still be in the same situation
<Zeal> I ... know.
* Kaelan hugs Soma, she nods and kneels down to peek through the keyhole.
* Zeal looks exasperated. 1"But... I cannot let you. You must understand. These are my feelings. I cherish the night we spoke honestly, perhaps more than you know."
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> If another plan can be formulated, then perhaps you should work that angle. Instead of telling people to simply follow Lady Rachael's desires. 6* He notes, then nods to Kyle. "I leave matters of this in your hands, Sir. Kyle." 6* He moves off.
<Zeal> I want to preserve that. As long as I can. These things... change people. Forever.
<DeathStar> 6* She doesn't see anything in there from the angle.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I've already changed. Pulling the string of a bow won't matter.
<Kaelan> "...Jean, you didn't... JEAN! ANSWER ME IF YOU'RE IN THERE!"
<Zeal> You have not. Like I said, your words can be practiced, but your eyes will not lie to me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What other options do we have? Unless someone hits the King with some magic.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy pauses, hearing a scream and hurries up the stairs
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Or an accident happens.
* Kaelan peers at Mercy. "Get this door open."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle speaks. "Are you capable of such an accident?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hmmm...Does he go near ledges much?
<DeathStar> <Kyle> He lives on the top floor of a tower; however, pushing him out the window would merely make the Prince look suspicious
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks around at the scream then at Mercy. 1"What was that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy runs up out of sight up the stairs; screams can never be good. Ever.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns and quickly sprints after Mercy and then up the stairs
* Kaelan sighs and rubs her forehead. "We stand divided... she goes off on her own to fix things. Jean, please, if you're in there tell me you haven't run off."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy arrives, finally, out of breath a bit as she moves in. "Lady Kaelan?"
* Kaelan looks back at her and points at the door. "Open it, please."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I can't stand you killing to keep my hands clean. It's hypocritical, Zeal. It's wrong.
<Zeal> I cannot and do not intend to replace sir Lankin in any way. I also cannot be the unyielding shield he was to you, and the brother he must have been. But I speak truth. To me you are an irreplaceable friend and I would do anything to retain that. That is the way I am." 6She brings her hand up to her chest, her expression seriously.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy pauses, then reaches into a pocket to get a key out, stepping over.
* Kaelan stands aside for her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slides upto a stop behind the two. 1"Was that Jean?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Then don't stop me. Because if I let you kill for me, I'd never forgive myself.
* Kaelan rubs her forehead more. "We may not have to be rescuing Rachael now..." *she's not happy about it*
<Zeal> It is a soldier's duty to do what must be done. To shelter and support those they care about. It is my belief that this is also the sacred duty of a templar. I quit the hypocritical church, but I have not cast aside my beliefs. You are not wrong in any way in allowing a knight to do this.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah, but if you're really my friend, then it would be wrong. To me. You can't both be a Knight and a friend in my eyes. You're either a Knight that works with us to protect the Angel, or you're my friend.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy opens the room --- and it's empty. Not even Zeal's bow is there
<Kaelan> "Damnit... DAMNIT."
<DeathStar> 6* The sheets are tied up to the post and go out the window
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves inside after her and he peers around. 1"Shit, she's going to take the shot."
* Kaelan rushes to the window and looks down.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Do you see her?
<DeathStar> 6* She'd see no sign of the angel; hell, the sheet doesn't even go all the way to the ground, since the tower is massive and made of ice
<DeathStar> 6* Yet there's no dead Jean at the bottom
<Kaelan> "No... she's gone."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle arrives a moment later, weapon in hand. "What is the situation?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks over at Mercy. 1"Where's the best view of the garden?
* Kaelan turns. "Jean's about to do the job herself."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> One of the towers. The castle wall. The roof of the main castle.
<Kaelan> "She was going blank, I should have known the other side was taking over..."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Other side?
<Kaelan> "Let's just say when she gets serious, she does it really well."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What's the closest place?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Well, none of them are particularly close, sir Dahok...you have to travel through the castle to reach certain parts, unless you are able to ... simply jump and glide down. Can she...do that?
<Zeal> You are most definitely my friend, lady Rachael-- I--
<Kaelan> "Yes, she can."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She can do a lot of things. 1"Kyle, can you take Kaelan to one of the places?"
* Zeal moves forward slightly. Looking a bit sheepish, since she really hasn't said that about anyone, even Kaelan. 1"Rachael. There must be another way."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> It would be tricky to move Kaelan through the castle without drawing more attention as you all being the Prince's guest.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs his face. 1"So it'd be the same way if I asked Mercy to take me to one of the places?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 6* She sighs, peering to the side. "I'm sick inside. Sick of everything. The constant fighting. Bickering. People assuming they know what's best. Picking one person's side simply because they don't like the other. It's why I want to do this; I know it's right, to stop him. Valen would have done it. It's clear. Simple. And if I get caught....6* She trails off.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Yes; however, the king will likely not enter the garden for another hour.
<Kaelan> "So we have time?"
<DeathStar> <Kyle> If she doesn't attack him inside the castle, yes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Where would she attack him if it wasn't inside the castle?
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I am referring to the interior of the castle. The garden is in the exterior.
* Kaelan rusb her head a little more. "Maybe we could dress as servants?"
<Kaelan> "Or guards, or something."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> For now, let us go to the top of the tower for a better vantage point; see if we can even see the angel.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh. 6He let's out a huff.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle turns to head for the stairs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods and moves after Kyle
<Kaelan> "Mercy, go tell Rachael and Zeal."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows, moving to do so.
* Kaelan moves after Kyle.
<Zeal> If you get caught, there may not be any future.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe; but you all will be able to keep going forward.
<Zeal> I cannot even say I could come for you. A slayer of a monarchy would be lucky to reach the dungeon.
* Zeal jerks. 1"Rachael! How can you say that..!?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It's not getting easier, Zeal. Every day just gets harder. Sometimes I want to scream when the group goes through it's typical motions.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Doing this, I can help Jean in my own way, do what I know Valen would have done, and if things end, they end.
* Zeal swipes her hand. 1"I cannot allow it! There is another way."
<Zeal> One that cannot arise any suspicion.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How...?
* Zeal crosses her arms, frowning. 1"Carly."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle steps onto the top of the ice tower and peers about; they can see the entire city from here
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The ice demon...?
<Zeal> She can become other shapes than her own. She... did it to me last eve.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok whistles lowly at that and he peers around briefly. He then peers towards the castle interior for signs of her
* Kaelan looks about from the vantage point, too frantic over finding Jean to appreciate the view.
<DeathStar> 6* There's no sign of her on the outer roof of the main castle, or across the way on the other tower. Though there's shadows that cover parts of the main castle area, which is three stories
<Zeal> She could easily get into the castle if she wished and were incented properly.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... and would she even be willing to do such a thing?
<Zeal> I-- do not covet the idea. But there is a way to incite her to do it.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy arrives, panting. "Ladies. Lady Jean has gone off to kill the king alone."
<Zeal> Wh-what!?
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy flinches.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks, looking ill. "But--she wouldn't..."
<Zeal> She would..
* Zeal grabs her head in dismay. 1"...Carly would do it-- if we let her eat the king."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The King takes his walk in less than an hour, Zeal. There's no time.
<Zeal> With Carly it is not an issue of time-- however... stopping lady Al'ryl... ungh... wh-what do I do?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I don't see her, but she could be hiding in any of those shadows over there
* Zeal falls to her knees, heaving.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks, kneeling in concern. "Zeal? Are you okay?!"
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Indeed. It will be difficult to get to the roof, as well.
<Zeal> R-Rachael, this is bad..!
* Zeal sniffs, almost tears in her eyes as she struggles to get up. 1"And my fault."
* Kaelan frowns. "Calling won't help, if she's determined, she'll ignore us until the deed is done... so we need another option."
<Kaelan> "We need to get the job done before Jean can."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What should I do? I don't even know how to find Carly... 6* She looks at her face, and she pauses, looking sympathetic for the harsh bitch, and hugs her and pulls her in close, unable to help herself from caring for another
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Shh....it's all our faults....
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Is she talented with a bow?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Jean no, but her otherself, possibly.
<Kaelan> "Like I said, when she's determined she's capable of anything."
<Zeal> Sh-She found me last eve in front of a ... um.. a wh-wh--" 6She coughs.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Water well?
<Zeal> Wh-whore den
<DeathStar> <Rachael> .... I... what is that...?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well other then finding a way to postpone the king from taking his walk...
<Kaelan> "We get Rachael in place. She's doing this to prevent Rachael from acting. I don't like it, but..."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy peers back and forth in case she's needed.
<Zeal> A house made for debauchery." 6She eeks out quietly.
<Zeal> A place with lots of people being inattentive-- perfect for Carly.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... I don't quite understand, but I can try to go there, then.
* Kaelan moves back down below. "We won't accomplish anything admiring Angel-less scenery."
* Zeal rubs her face, then grabs Rachael and makes a break for it
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes a noise, trying not to trip on the dress
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy pauses, then follows
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I don't like it at all. 6He moves to follow.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle turns to move down the tower.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> IF the Angel does kill the King, it would work to our advantage of keeping the King out of it; but if she's discovered, it will make it harder to help you all afterwards
<DeathStar> *prince
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I couldn't sleep well knowing Jean had to live with something like that.
* Zeal makes for the place she went with Kyle the previous night and encountered Carly
<Kaelan> "I can't sleep with the idea of Jean in danger, and she's walking towards a gallows like this."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy moves to go up the stairs like an obedient maid; after encountering the others, she pauses
<DeathStar> <Mercy> The ladies are going to a whore house.
<Kaelan> "They're... what?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> ...Ok I have to ask. Why?
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Hm. We encountered your other friend there - Carly.
* Kaelan peers at Kyle. "...Oh. Take us there."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes. They wish to have Carly kill the King.
<Kaelan> "Zeal's using her head now."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> To think someone would actually listen to what I said last night.
<Kaelan> "Try not to let it get to your head hon." *she grins*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael and Zeal reach the whore house, which is more lowkey during the day it seems. Rachael breathes out of breath, peering at them getting glances - people thinking she is a lady with her maid
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What...do we do now...?
<Zeal> We have to find her...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How?
* Zeal eyes the place with a twitch, but nervously steps forward
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows, oblivious
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How can we even tell which person will be her?
<DeathStar> 6* As they step forward, a busty blue haired woman is by the alley, instead of inside, despite it being day.
<DeathStar> 6* And in the distance, Kyle leads DAhok and Kaelan along.
* Zeal frowns. 1"She --" 6She pauses, eyeing the blue-haired woman and moves toward her instead
<DeathStar> 6* The woman eyes Zeal. "50 credits."
<DeathStar> <Woman> 70 if she watches.
* Zeal squints. 1"Carly..?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That looks like them up there.
* Kaelan peers forward, "Maybe they got lucky."
<DeathStar> <Woman> You can call me whatever you want, hon
<Zeal> I need to speak to Carly only." 6She frowns a bit, and starts back toward the place.
<DeathStar> <Woman> For 100 credits, I'll let you speak to Carly.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle stops near Zeal and Rachael, eyeing the bust woman with a frown
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Any luck finding her?
<Zeal> What are credits?
* Kaelan peers at the woman slowly. Silently wondering why Zeal's negotiating prices with a prostitute.
<Zeal> It is only something Carly would understand.
* Zeal makes a face, not wanting to enter the place, but apparently to find Carly she must..!
<DeathStar> <Woman> ... 6* She leans forward.
<DeathStar> <Woman> Well? The gold?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So Carly's here?
* Zeal bites her lip slightly, blushing, hesitating on entering the whore house.
<Kaelan> "Do I need to go in Zeal?" *she eyes her*
<DeathStar> 6 *She does have icy blue eyes
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at the woman with the icy blue eyes, then Kaelan. He looks at Kyle. 1"You have 100 gold we can borrow?"
<DeathStar> <Kyle> No.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman begins to laugh, amused now.
* Zeal frowns at the ground, pausing, then peers toward the woman. 1"..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs his head and he moves over to Kyle. 1"Let me see your blade quick."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle eyes him oddly, clearly debating if he wants to give his sword to Dahok; he finally complies, since time is almost out
* Kaelan peers at the woman again. "...Is that you Carly?"
<DeathStar> <Kyle> We should hurry. We barely have enough time to get back to the castle.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok the blade and cuts his hand so blood comes out. He holds it out towards the woman.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman eyes his hand boredly. "Smells like fish."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's Carly.
<Zeal> C-Carly...? You were going to let me ... walk into such a place..!?
<DeathStar> <Carly> Why would I stop you?
<Zeal> I have a proposition for you.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hands the blade back to Kyle, nodding to him. He rips some cloth off his clothes and wraps it around his hand.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 6* She seems to gape at how Carly looks so different
* Zeal sniffs, fixing her clothing slightly.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Her breasts do look a bit like yours...
<Kaelan> "Zeal, we're really low on time."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle begins to clean his sword.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We have someone you can kill and do whatever you want to.
<DeathStar> <Carly> A proposition?
<Zeal> I--" 6She pauses, looking to Dahok
<DeathStar> 6* Carly eyes Dahok. Then yawns. "I don't kill other people; I'm a good girl."
<Zeal> This is a very bad man.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sorry, times wasting away Zeal.
<DeathStar> <Carly> So? Carly doesn't kill people. Rules are rules.
* Zeal pauses at that, then hangs her head, turning away; actually shamed.
<Kaelan> "She's giving you a free pass on the rules for really bad people."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Rules are rules.
<DeathStar> 6* Carly eyes Kaelan
<Zeal> Carly... I have killed people.
* Kaelan takes a breath, "As have I."
<Zeal> I know I said it was wrong to-- and it is.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Then should Carly kill you both? 6* She asks, a dangerous tone to her voice. As if inviting them to open this door.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> This is a noble Carly. A king.
<Zeal> It is never really 'right' to kill another being. However... if this man is not killed.
* Zeal turns, frowning. 1"Many more will die in place."
<DeathStar> 6* Carly ignores Dahok completely. "Not trick Carly. Carly not going to disobey rules."
<Zeal> This is not a trick. ...I am-- It makes me happy that you would listen to me. If it really is the case... I am sorry. I really am a hypocrite. I will do it myself.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We're not going back over that again, Zeal. 6* She notes.
* Kaelan frowns. "Can't we make a new rule?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Make us a deal then Carly.
* Zeal winces at Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* Carly eyes Dahok boredly, then eyes Zeal. "Can have some of Angel's blood?"
<Zeal> It is a simple matter of that Carly has the ability to do this-- without sacrificing anyone.
* Kaelan frowns, considering the stakes.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks around at the mention of Angel, to see if anyone is listening
* Zeal looks down again. 1"I cannot answer that, Carly."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Then Carly not answer you!
<Zeal> Though as it is, if I cannot ask this favor-- it is likely lady Al'ryl will not live to answer you herself.
<Kaelan> "...She has a point, if you don't help, you'll never get a shot at that blood."
<Zeal> Because of my childishness, she is seeking this task herself at this very moment.
<Zeal> You are my only hope at saving my two friends.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Carly not do it unless told that she can have blood. Not going to get stabbed to death when trying. 6* She eyes them
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Zeal to see what she wants to do
<Zeal> Carly, all I may promise you is that I will allow lady Al'ryl to permiss herself. If she allows it.. then I cannot say anything.
<Zeal> I cannot promise you what is not mine.
<Kaelan> "She's saying yes in Zeal-ish."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Alright. 6* She says, confident that she'll get it. She stetches. "Also, since Zeal was mean to Carly then ask Carly to break rules, Carly can do whatever she wants to Zeal later to spice up her blood."
<Zeal> Fine.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Alright! Lead way!
<Kaelan> "Alright, let's move fast."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle seems to be watching them all like he's witness to some alternate reality
* Zeal looks rather morbid, but sets her expression and begins the race back to the castle.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael frowns a bit, shaking her head. "This feels wrong for some reason."
<Kaelan> "Shades of gray... it's always wrong."
<DeathStar> 6* Carly begins to walk along at a lazy pace. Kyle takes her arm and moves her faster
<Kaelan> "We just need to find the answer that's the least wrong."
* Kaelan moves fast after Kyle.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> This won't be the last time something like this happens either, I'm sure.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> We need to have Carly look like someone that we can safely say has no ties to the King. But the question also remains how do we get her into the castle with no help. Since we can't be seen near her once this begins
<Kaelan> "Carly, can you look like an elf?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Carly, can you make yourself really small?
<DeathStar> 6* Carly eyes her. "Yes." 6* She eyes Dahok. "Don't want to."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I got it. Make yourself look like Baby.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Can't.
<Zeal> The simplest way to get in would be to assume the role of one of the King's existing servants or guards-- then change again before the act.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Unfortunately, it is difficult to describe such a person in good detail and we don't have time to find one to show her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well if you can' look like Baby...
<Kaelan> "Just get her inside as she looks now, she can carry out the act as an elf, hard to correlate soemone who can change their appearance. We planned to have an elf do it anyway, right?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Have her look like me. I'll stay out here until it's all done and someone can come get me.
<Kaelan> "We're overcomplicating a very simple matter."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael is quiet as they walk along, while Carly stretches lazily.
<DeathStar> <Carly> What king look like anyway?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Look, you bring someone new in. The king dies, fingers will be pointed.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> He is correct.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So I'll stay out here. She takes my place, the problems solved.
<Zeal> True.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> It would actually be best if all us remained outside the castle.
<Kaelan> "Right... okay."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> She can take my appearance and enter without questions
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then she...Yeah.
* Zeal blinks, having not even thought of it.
* Kaelan nods. "Alright then, describe the king for Carly."
<DeathStar> 6* Carly eyes Kyle, then shifts into him. She stretches lazily, then listens as Kyle begins to speak----
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Time passes as Kyle remains out of sight, so people can't see him outside the castle. Rachael bites at her nails as she paces.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans against a wall, his arms crossed as he looks towards the castle.
<DeathStar> 6* Horns can be heard after a bit from the castle.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sounds like the deeds done. Question now is, who got there first.
* Zeal paces in the room, frowning as she waits for news of both that and lady Al'ryl.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> The castle will be in lock down for now. We might not find out for quite some time.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans against a wall, closing her eyes with a troubled look
<Kaelan> "Maybe we should get a room at an inn."
<Zeal> No.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well we hope for the best that Carly got there before Jean could make her move.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> At this point, you can head to the gate and say you are the mercenaries for the Prince, and ask to be let in due to the commotion; they won't let you, but you'll be seen outside the castle.
<Zeal> If we all suddenly leave, it would only look suspicious as well. We are guests of the prince, so why would we wait at an inn.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> You can ask for them to tell Mercy to validate your claim
<Kaelan> "We're outside the castle...?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods to Kyle
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Where do you want us to meet you after?
<Kaelan> "Alright."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I will find my own way back inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael uncrosses her arms, still looking ill.
<Zeal> Rachael...?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If Jean did it...I... 6* She trails off.
<Kaelan> "Rach, worryign won't help."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If Jean did it, you can blame me. It was my words that made her move off.
* Zeal winces, but moves over to hug Rachael, looking worried herself
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We'll see you inside then Kyle
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Good luck.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I've made it this far in life.
<Kaelan> "Okay, let's play worried guests."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Zeal, a weak smile, then goes back to looking worried; she doesn't have to act.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* After being held at the gate for nearly two hours, Mercy arrives finally and waves them through.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves inside and towards Mercy. 1"Thanks for getting us inside."
* Kaelan looks around, frowning. "What happened?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy walks along, with her hands in front of her, leading them toward the tower. Rachael eyes the alerted presence of the soldiers everywhere, eyeing them with suspicion
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok follows behind quietly at this point
* Kaelan walks along, her act becoming less and less of an act as she sees the state of things, getting worried, she follows Mercy.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy leads them into the west part of the castle, where more soldiers are about; then to the West Tower. She closes the door after the long walk to the tower, then calmly heads up the stairs. "To your rooms. The Prince has asked you stay only in your rooms or the baths for the time being. Any food you need, please ring the bell and I will serve you."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> The King has been killed, so we cannot let guests wander the castle.
<Zeal> I.. understand. Have you seen lady Al'ryl..?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"And of our friend, Jean?" 6He asks quietly
<DeathStar> <Mercy> She is in her room.
* Zeal jerks
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Is she alright?
* Zeal starts to run upstairs
* Kaelan nods, tensing a little and moving after Zeal.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> She-- 6* She watches Zeal go
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at the two go and then back at Mercy. 1"Please go on."
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the rooms, they'd see Jean's door is shut
<DeathStar> <Mercy> She has been in her room, upset that you all were gone.
* Zeal runs to the door. 1"Lady Al'ryl!?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How did the King die?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I do not know. I am sorry.
* Kaelan walks to the door, about to knock when Zeal cries out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok frowns a bit. 1"Thank you." 6He looks at Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens a bit and Jean looks out in her silk robe, the bearoar on the bed behind her. She grabs them in a hug. "Left Jean alone!! People told Jean to stay here."
<DeathStar> 6 *Rachael works her way up and steps up to the floor with the door
<Kaelan> * Kaelan hugs her back. "Y-You didn't...? Didn't leave?"
<Zeal> Alone..!? But you...!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean remember eating, then woke up on bed.,
<Zeal> H-Huh..?
<Kaelan> * Kaelan just nods. "I see... at least you're safe."
<DeathStar> <Jean> JEan have Zeal's bow, though! 6* She points. "Not sure how got there."
<Zeal> ...It was the lady angel..
* Kaelan leans down and whispers, "Everyone's okay."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok works his way upto the others and he peers in at Jean, then at Zeal. 1"Count the arrows, Zeal."
<Kaelan> "Don't jump to conclusions."
* Zeal looks to Dahok, then the quiver and sighs, moving over to do so.
<Kaelan> "I... already did that myself." *she looks sheepish*
<DeathStar> 6* Carly, in her brown haried form, steps up behind in amaid outfit. "Hello!" 6* She booms.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm glad you're safe Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at them counting, sulking. "Jean now play with bow. Zeal already yelled once."
<DeathStar> *not
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks, spinning to look at Carly
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy makes a face at being startled.
* Zeal finishes counting but blinks over at Carly.
* Kaelan jerks a bit, but hugs Jean some more. "Don't worry about it, really."
<DeathStar> 6* They're all there except four.
<Zeal> There... are four missing..
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks. "Didn't do it! Swear!"
* Zeal looks to Carly, her face seeming ill
<Kaelan> "Carly? Have you eaten today?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm sure you just misplaced them, Zeal. No biggy. 6He looks at Carly.
<Zeal> Misplace my arrows... such as a knight misplacing their sword..
<DeathStar> <Carly> Ew, eaten? No. Though I did hear some crazy elf shouted out about elf revolution and hit an old guy in the head with an ice blade
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How unfortunate.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Elf...revolution... 6* She repeats, having been deadly quiet until now, when she finally can take a breath
* Kaelan nods.
<Zeal> I am unsure it was wise to frame an elf..
* Kaelan eyes Zeal.
<Zeal> Unless you argue semantics... could it not be also that men against elves is a war amongst men-- of different races, yes...
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows to them. "If you need anything, please ring the bell." 6* She steps out, closing the door.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to Jean and pats her head. 1"How ya feeling?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Tired.
<Kaelan> "Man against man could simply have meant two people. Let's not think too hard on it for now, the deed is done, I'm sure we all need rest."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Yes. I imagine so. 6* She rubs her face, eyeing the rooms. "Which one is mine...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You should take a nap then. It's that one I believe, Rachael. 6He points
<Zeal> Can you not stay here..?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Stay in JEan's room?
<Zeal> Ah... forgive me. I am so used to her staying in mine..
* Kaelan leads Jean towards the bed. "You need to get rest still. You haven't fully recovered."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pouts. "But--"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You wanted me to stay in yours? 6* She asks curiously
* Kaelan smiles. "I'll stay with you." *she yawns* "I could use more rest too."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Baby, you stayin in here then?
<DeathStar> <Bearoar> Roar.
<Zeal> You stayed with the prince last night, did you not..? I was worried." 6She sniffs. 1"Even if we do not talk, I would enjoy the company."
<Zeal> We could bathe first, if you like.
<Kaelan> "Baby can protect us."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers to the side at the mention of the prince. "Right now, laying down feels nice. MAybe after a nap we can bathe. Which room is yours?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Protect you. Hah. He's too lazy for that
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar rolls over and hides his face
<Zeal> The next down." 6She moves over, holding out her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at the hand, blinking and taking it. Carly eyes the two with a hmph, clearly not liking it
<DeathStar> 6* Jean keeps pouting stubbornly.
* Zeal sheepishly plays at part of her hair. 1"If you need anything, just let me know."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You should go take a nap with both of them. 6He notes to Carly and he moves for his room
<DeathStar> <Carly> Hm... 6* She considers that, then moves to follow Zeal and Rachael
* Kaelan sighs a bit and looks at Jean. "What would you like to do?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... Play a game!
<Kaelan> "What kind of game?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> A fun game.
<Kaelan> "Sure."
<DeathStar> 6 *Rachael nods to Zeal once, offering a slight smile, then peers at the demon getting really closwe
* Zeal blinks at her, then slowly peers toward Carly.
<DeathStar> 6* Carly smiles.

* Kaelan ponders, she looks at Jean as she considers childhood games they could play.
<DeathStar> (Mewl)
<Kaelan> "Do you know any, or am I teaching you something new?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Not know any games! 6* She nods
* Kaelan considers, tapping her lips gently. "Hmm, holds out your hands, palms facing me."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then slowly does so
<Kaelan> * Kaelan places her hands to Jeans, then puts up one of your hands. "Now bring the opposite one up to meet mine."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, then slowly does so
<Kaelan> * Kaelan starts to guide her to do it over and over again in a pattern, slowly speeding up in what could be a Tareh version of "patty-cake". After a little bit, she starts adding in a little rhyme that goes along with it.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks as she does it, looking a bit confused at the game
* Kaelan stops after going over the ryhme. "Kay, the goal is to go faster and faster doing it, to see if we can keep it up together. It's a unison game."
* Xan|Work has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. Okay. 6* She nods with a smile
<Kaelan> * Kaelan smiles and starts into it. Leading Jean till she gets the hang of it.
<DeathStar> 6* Somehow, almost instantly, Jean seems to perfectly mimic her and keep up to her speed flawlessly, even mimicing facial expressions Kaelan makes
<Kaelan> * Kaelan blinks a bit but carries on, looking impressed as she increases the speed of the game.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean matches her pace, without overtaking her
<Kaelan> * Kaelan keeps it up, she seems to enjoy herself with such a simple game.
* Xan|Work has joined #TAW-Medieval
<DeathStar> 6* Slowly, after a bit, Jean then increases the speed while mimicing Kaelan, seemingly adapting to it gradually
<Kaelan> * Kaelan starts to work to keep up now, grinning a little as she starts to alter the rhyme a little, making up something about a cute angel dancing with bears as she does.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stops the singing part as she alters it, though her hand movements remain the same; it seems like she's learning the lines and then after a bit mimics them perfectly
<Kaelan> * Kaelan keeps up the new lines, giving her a very pleased nod and continues on.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods back, then begins to pick up her speed to a higher degree than Kaelan's bio says she can do.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan ends up missing a few now, quickly starting to lose her place in the rhyme too. She giggles as she stops.
<Kaelan> "You learn fast."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Fun!! 6* She nods happily, mimicing the gestures alone now, as if practicing
<Kaelan> * Kaelan smiles, "Want to try it again from the start?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> No other games to try?

<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Hmm... Stone, parchment, scissors." *she nods*
<Kaelan> "Hold out your hand."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean obeys
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Now, there are three gestures. Stone." *she makes a fist* "Parchment." *she holds her hand out flat* "And Scissors." *she makes a scissor motion with two fingers* "Try them."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at her hand, then goes through the gestures
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Okay, the rules are simple, Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper, and Paper beats Rock. We count to three and make one of the three gestures, we either pick one that beats the other, lose, or tie." *she smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods with a determined look
<Kaelan> * Kaelan then shakes her fist three times, loking for Jean to do it too.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean mimics it a few seconds later than Kaelan
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Okay, 1, 2, 3!" *she holds out her hand flat, Parchment*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean mimics the parchment
<Kaelan> "Okay, that's a tie." *she giggles* "Pick one on your own this time, it's more or less a guessing game. Gotta put out your choice the same time I do. Ready?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean scrunches her face up in thought, then nods
* Kaelan giggles and counts out. "1, 2, 3!" *she puts out her hand*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean does---parchment
* Kaelan does rock. She smiles and puts her hand in Jean's. "Parchment beats Rock. You win!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean beams happily as she holds onto Kaelan's hand like a prize. "Jean strong!"
* Kaelan giggles and grins. "Course you are."
<Kaelan> "Wanna give it another go?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, letting go and focusing
<Kaelan> * Kaelan counts out again. "1, 2, 3... Go!" *she holds out her hand*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean does a parchment
<Kaelan> * Kaelan does a scissors. "Okay, I win that one! Again?" *she smiles* "Normally do best two out of three or more."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean scrunches up more in concentration, nodding as she gets ready
<Kaelan> * Kaelan counts off again and tosses out her hand, parchment.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean does a parchment
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Oh no! A tie! Again!" *she giggles and counts out, throwing out Stone this time*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean does a parchment again
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "You win." *she smiles and puts her hand in Jean's open palm*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Stubborness wins!
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "ANd I thought I was stubborn."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean puts her own hands together. "Another new game?"
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Hmm... some would be bad right now since we can't leave our rooms, and I did more wrestling and boys games when I was younger... but..."
<Kaelan> "Okay! Guessing games!" *she pounces Jean*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks as she's pounced over
<Kaelan> * Kaelan settles atop her and smiles, looking around the room. "I see... something blue and white. Try to guess what it is."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then looks around
<Kaelan> * Her old clothes discarded might be it, or something else in the room. The clothes include a white blouse and the blue blindfold, which she's kept about her neck since getting her eyes fixed.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean begins to just point everything that's blue and white
<Kaelan> * Kaelan smiles when she points at the clothes. "Good. You can ask for clues instead of just guessing a lot too. Now you pick something."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks, looking around, then says blue
<Kaelan> * Kaelan peers about. "Hmmm..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles happily
* Kaelan points to some blue silk. "Is it that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean...shakes her head no
* Zeal is now known as Kit
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Is it cloth or a piece of furniture?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Nope!
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Hmmm... tell me something else about it?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> It's pretty.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan slowly looks about some more. "Is it your dress?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Nope.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan tilts her head and looks for something blue and pretty.
<DeathStar> 6* There's not that many things
<Kaelan> * Kaelan names them off one at a time.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nos them all
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I give up, what is it?" *she smiles still*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Your eyes!
<Kaelan> * Kaelan blinks and smiles. "O-Oh!"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean win!
<Kaelan> * Kaelan nods and smiles, and lays on top of her. "That's three wins, Jean gets a prize she picks."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks hard now.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan looks at her, nose to nose, curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks and gets a bit red in the cheeks
<Kaelan> * Kaelan giggles. "Can't pick anything?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Not yet.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan blinks, "Not yet?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean not sure what she wants yet.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan nods and rests a bit. "You can pick later I suppose."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers into Kaelan's breasts suddenly, then feels around in them.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan eeps, blinking as she looks down. "Wh-Wha..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Soma gone. Must have missed Zeal.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan tilts her head. "Yeah, Zeal takes her back a lot."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean didn't see Zeal take Soma.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan blinks and sits up, looking around. "Soma...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean watches her with interest, pointing at the slightly opened door
<Kaelan> * Kaelan gets up and moves to it. "Oh no..." *she peeks out of the room* "Soma...?"
<DeathStar> 6* There's no sign of any Somas in the main area; though Zeal's room is partially opened.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan moves over and peeks into Zeal's room.
<DeathStar> 6* Carly's face appears in the doorway. "Why, we have a tiny spy. Did you want to come join us, little spy?" 6* She asks in a coo
<Kaelan> * Kaelan blinks, "I-I'm just looking for little Soma."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Oh? Do you want something in your breasts? 6* She leans forward, placing her face on KAelan's
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I just... don't know where he got off too so I'm concerned he might be wandering the castle." *she looks down at Carly*
<DeathStar> 6* Carly rubs her face back and forth. "Oh? He's fine. Why don't we cuddle together - alone?"
<Kaelan> * Kaelan blushes a little. "A-Aren't you busy with Zeal?"
<DeathStar> <Carly> Oh, she's busy without me. 6* She runs her fingers along Kaelan's cheek
<Kaelan> * Kaelan blinks a bit. "Y-You're awfully affectionate."
<DeathStar> <Carly> I'm glad you think so. 6* She smiles at her
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Should I be thinking something else?"
<DeathStar> <Carly> Nope! Want to go cuddle on your bed? 6* She asks innocently, and Kaelan would feel slightly dizzy, like she had ale
<Kaelan> * Kaelan blinks a little, she rubs her head a bit. "I... what are you doing...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Carly looks insulted and hurt. "Mean."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan shakes her head. "Not mean, asking a question... if you want me to be close, you don't need the tricks." *she smiles*
<DeathStar> <Carly> Hmph. Carly not believe. 6* She crosses her arms
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "If you were to use the tricks, how could you believe then? Anything I do would be because of your influence."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Hmph. Hmph! HMPH!
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sighs a little. She eyes Carly. "That's not a response."
<DeathStar> <Carly> ...
<Kaelan> * Kaelan peers down at her and gently puts a hand on her shoulder. "We can cuddle though. If you want."
<DeathStar> <Carly> ... 6* She just gets a mischevious look, turns into Mercy, then scoots out the door to the stairs, waving bye-bye
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady... Carly!
<DeathStar> 6* Carly pauses
* Kaelan looks between the two.
* Kit sits up on the bed, keeping a tigoar kitten cuddled in the blanket covering her. 1"Where do you think you are going, lady Carly..!?"
<Kit> Nrp: Wow, gotten used to that name not changing..
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits up as well beside her, the blanket hiding her as well. Carly peers back as Mercy. <Mercly> Going to explore the castle
<Kit> <Zeal> ... Alright. But please do not wander far very long. Do remember the circumstances..
<DeathStar> 6* Carly nods, then moves out the door and closes it
* Kaelan watches Carly go. "Be careful, the guards will be tense and alert right now."
<Kit> 6Zeal mumbles and lies back down, patting Soma. 1"Do you mind, Kael..? It is rather improper to sit with the door open on two ladies in bed.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Are you asking me to come in or shut the door?" *she grins playfully*
<Kit> <Zeal> I believe it would be wise to choose one.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan steps in and closes the door. "You two alright then?"
<DeathStar> 6 *Rachael lays back down, her ears visible
<Kaelan> * Kaelan walks over and sits on the side of the bed, since Zeal hasn't dismissed her.
<Kit> <Zeal> Yes... we were resting.
<DeathStar> 6* Soma cuddles between the two like a lazy cat
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Yeah, sorry, I came looking for Soma since he sneaked off."
<Kit> <Zeal> He is especially fond of it when lady Rachael and I are close.
<Kaelan> "He certainly looks pleased." *she smiles* "And Rachael, how are you holding up?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Me? I'm fine. 6* She offers a smile, petting the tigoar's ears and making him look ectastic
<Kaelan> "Good, you've seemed a bit distanced lately, I just wanted to be sure." *she reaches over and gives the tigoar a little pet*
<DeathStar> 6* IT wiggles between the two girls
<Kaelan> "Alright, well if everything is okay here, I'll get back to Jean."
<Kit> <Zeal> Give her my regards.
<Kit> 6Zeal yawns slightly. 1"She is more than welcome to visit."
* Kaelan giggles. "Maybe we'll be back then." *she gets up and moves to the door*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean busts in suddenly and leaps into the bed
* Kaelan giggles. "Oh look, she self delivers. So... party on Zeal's bed?"
<Kit> 6Zeal hurks slightly, and exclaims girlishly, then covers her mouth, twitching slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean tries to snuggle between Rachael and Zeal, while putting Soma on her stomach so they can still pet him. Rachael looks amused at Jean's child like expression
* Kaelan giggles and sort of curls up at their feet, watching. "Surprised we can all fit on one of these beds."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> They do seem unnaturally large---I didn't sleep well last night in one alone
<Kit> <Zeal> My... bed back home was rather large-- though not this large.
<Kit> 6Zeal sniffs slightly. 1"It fit seventeen plush animals and myself comfortably.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I never had a plush animal. 6* She notes thoughtfully.
<Kaelan> "Wow... I've never had a bed this big, mostly cots and smaller..."
<Kit> Really?!
<Kit> 6Zeal peers at Rachael
<Kaelan> "I had a stuffed animal once..."
<Kaelan> "It got destroyed at the outpost." *she pets Soma*
<Kit> <Zeal> They can be so adorable! Not as cute as Soma, but close.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Really? 6* She seems surprised
<Kit> 6Zeal wiggles her fingers along both sides of Soma's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Soma paws at the fingers
<Kit> I collected rare craftsman-made ones.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe one day we'll get to see them. 6* She notes thoughtfully, her ears twitching at some thought crossing her mind
<Kaelan> "Mmm..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean begins to make little noises like an animal might in her sleep
* Kaelan peers over at her and smiles.
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> See... You want to see my room?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Is---that okay? 6* She asks cautiously
<Kaelan> "Kind of wondered what sort of life the church put you up in after Oas myself."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's clearly asleep, with her lips slightly parted; she almost sounds like a cat might in it's sleep, or a dog. She looks content, however, between the two
* Kaelan smiles and closes her own eyes. "She's so cute."
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Well... I do not mind. My room was a private one when I was off-duty. There is a chance it is not manhandled...
<DeathStar> 6* Soma begins to nom at Jean's breasts like she were a mother tigoar
<DeathStar> 6* RAchael smiles. "Thank you."
<Kaelan> "There's a chance they haven't heard a thing of what's happened yet..."
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Perhaps...
<Kaelan> "Word hasn't reached here and we're on the same continent still, after all."
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Relations on this continent are tumultuous at best, however. Do not underestimate.
<Kaelan> "Wishful thinking."

<Kaelan> * Kaelan reaches up and pets Soma again.
<Kit> <Zeal> You seem rather enamored with Soma.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "He's cute..." *she smiles softly*
<Kit> <Zeal> You said Baby was cute.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "He is cute, like a big teddy bear."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael listens to the two while Soma twiches about between Jean's breasts
<Kaelan> * Kaelan scritches Soma's ear gently.
<Kit> <Zeal> But you do not do... this... with Baby.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I don't often get time with Baby, but I have pet him before too. And Soma's... soft."
<Kit> <Zeal> Did... you not spend lots of time with sir Fyro and Baby on our travels and the inn of the last town?
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Baby and Dahok only started their strange bonding recently, if you recall, Baby stayed with you." *she giggles and stretches a little*
<Kit> <Zeal< Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean continues to make noises in her sleep while Soma molests at her
<Kit> <Zeal> Baby stayed with Jean.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "As did you."
<DeathStar> 6* Soma continues to dig about for food
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal shakes her head and reaches about under the bed, eventually feeling out the means of making up a bottle, sliding it to Soma
<Kaelan> * Kaelan watches curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Soma sniffs it, then moves over to claim it fiercely

* Sera|WorkingNeko sits up a bit and gently puts a hand on Jean's leg as she watches. "He's such an adorable creature... it's hard to imagine him growing into a big tigoar."
* Sera|WorkingNeko is now known as Kaelan
* Kaelan says that, of course.
<Zeal> <Zeal> He will look regal. Not scruffy and mangy like those wild beasts." 6She sniffs.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> He will be big enough we could ride on him. I bet it would be like a riding pillow.
* Kaelan smiles, getting a far away look. "What about Baby, he'll get pretty big too right?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't think he would be comfortable to ride.
<Kaelan> "Why's that? He's comfy to rest on when he's not biting."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> They walk upright sometimes, don't they? You'd fall off.
<Kaelan> "What if we devised some sort of harness to ride in?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael just looks at her confusedly
<Zeal> <Zeal> Either one would require something like that to be ridden effectively.
* Kaelan bites her lip, thinking. "Yeah, they both probably move much differently then a horse."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I bet we could ride Soma just fine without one. He'd let us cuddle his back, I bet, like we let him cuddle on us.
* Kaelan smiles. "It sounds like it'd be neat."
<Zeal> <Zeal> Perhaps..
* Kaelan leans over towards Zeal. "Better then Horses, maybe?"
<Zeal> 6Zeal looks away sheepishly. 1"...Perhaps..
* Kaelan giggles, "I'm sure with time we can get you more used to them. They're not that bad when you've ridden them a few times. And I'm the girl who's been thrown off of them multiple times."
<Zeal> <Zeal> I do not like moving without my own power in general.
<Kaelan> "THey're like any other ally we have... we help move each other along in some way or form."
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Medieval
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
* Xan|Gonez has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves along the streets, his hands resting behind his back
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Chad`Winters has joined #TAW-Medieval
* Kaelan looks around as she walks, frowning a bit. "Maybe we should split up, cover more ground."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Probably a good idea. We should meet somewhere after some time
<Kaelan> "How about that tavern we went to earlier?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sounds good to me.
* Kaelan sighs and looks around, she looks upset.
<Kaelan> "Why didn't she come back...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She's upset with us, herself...doesnt' want to be around the mood that's constantly with us?
* Kaelan sighs a little. "It's my fault. I was trying so hard to make things better I made them worse."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pats her shoulder. 1"Don't be so hard on yourself, atleast you're trying, I don't think Jean would fault you for that.
* Kaelan looks down. "If the Angel loses control she'll be alone and so innocent. We drove her away so if anything happens..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If Jean get's sad, it's possible. It's why finding her now is the best we can do.
* Kaelan nods, she looks up at him. "If you find her... swear to me you'll protect her no matter what happens?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Would you expect anything less from me? 6He gives her a cocky grin
* Kaelan smiles a little, looking reassured. "No... be careful alright? I... I'm worried about you... I mean, all of us."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of course. 6He gives her a reassuring smile and moves off down the left now
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Just be careful yourself
<Kaelan> "Alright." *she looks around slowly before going, like once before, off to the right*
<DeathStar> 6* Stuff
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok walks along the street
* Kaelan continues along, looking, checking shops and other such places she might have wandered into.
<DeathStar> 6* What sort of shops?
* Kaelan looks in any she can think of, from supply shops to clothing shops, general stores and smithies. Almost like a frantic mother looking for her kid.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers around at the various buildings, looking for any candy like shops or food places.
<DeathStar> 6* She would see no angels in those stores.
* Kaelan checks taverns and food shops, particularly ones that sell fruits.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts his hands behind his neck and he moves on and he glances uptowards the roof tops
<Zeal> 6A girl stumbles as Kaelan's frantic search causes her to run into someone peering at a clothing rack around a shelf corner.
<Kaelan> "Sorry, very sorry." *she helps the girl get steady and keeps looking around*
<Zeal> 6The girl pauses, then slides her head side to side, keeping her level and staring directly at Kaelan in every movement, then seems to smile.
* Kaelan smiles back and nods to her, looking around to see if Jean's there.
* Kaelan shrugs when she seems to not find what she's looking for and moves for the exit to the shop.
<Zeal> 6The girl leans back, reaching up to flick Kaelan across the nose with one of her fingers, laughing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves along heading towards a park of sorts
* Kaelan pauses when the girl does so, raising a brow. "I'll take that as an okay."
<Zeal> <Girl> Should... calm down." 6She chimes in a sing-song voice. 1"...Moving so busy-busy... oft you might lose what's closest to you and not even notice."
* Kaelan eyes the girl and quickly checks her locket and weapons.
<Zeal> 6The girl shifts a few paces back, using a hand to sway the blonde hair out of her eyes and grins, her other hand, loosely holding out the locket poised on the edge of her fingers. 1"Ah, see there?"
<Kaelan> "Give it back." *she moves forward, glaring*
<Zeal> <Girl> We can understand one another quite well, it seems." 6She keeps backing, each step seeming relaxed and poised, but at the same time deliberate and unwasteful. Each one just keeping her the exact same distance away from Kaelan as she shifts back around the shelves, almost as if leading a cat on with a piece of straw.
<Kaelan> "There are guards all over the place due to the recent troubles, hand it back and I don't start screaming about a thief. That was my mothers." *she holds out her hand*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok walks along the street, moving to look in any food place.
<Zeal> <Girl> And it's mine for good advice-- I never knew my mother, so you won't mind if I have yours?
<Kaelan> "Not how it works. Give it back now."
<Zeal> 6She smiles sweetly, then turns, having lured Kaelan around so that she's clear to the exit, and sprints.
* Kaelan rushes after her, diving to tackle her the moment she turns.
<Zeal> 6Practiced, the girl literally leap frogs as Kaelan dives, her freehand doing the touch, also pushing down on her-- not her first time, the move gives her a decided headstart in running now.
* Kaelan twists and grabs at her ankle as she tries matrix like bouncing pulling her back.
<Zeal> 6The girl pivots on that foot, her other leg soaring in an arc and stomping down onto Kaelan's wrist that grabbed her in a no-nonsense manner.
* Kaelan pushes forward to tackle her while she attacks her wrist, not slowing down, the locket is a sore spot.

Session Ident: #TAW-Medieval
<Zeal> 6The girl pauses at Kaelan flopping like a fish trying to get at her. 1"It's that important?"
<Kaelan> "It's all I have of her!" *she lets go of the wrist, looking infuriated*
<Zeal> <Girl> ...No memories..? That is ... kind of sad.
<Zeal> 6She tilts her head, almost looking pitiably at Kaelan, then drops the locket back onto her.
<Zeal> 6Then she beams. 1"I just wanted the pouch, anyway."
* Kaelan slowly takes it, she looks up at the girl. "...Keep the pouch."
<Kaelan> "If you need to steal from people then you obviously need it. Not that there's much in there to begin with."
<Zeal> <Girl> Really? Thanks!" 6She nods, turning it over and dumping the contents out beside Kaelan, then turns, waving. 1"See you!"
* Kaelan scoops up the coins, staring at the girl. "...Who are you?"
<Zeal> 6She runs off without saying, coveting the pouch like it were rainwater in the desert.
* Kaelan sets the coins in her tool pocket on her belt and puts the necklace back on, she shakes her head and continues, leaving the shop and checking the nearby tavern.
<Zeal> 6Dahok would soon feel something tugging on him from behind.
* Kaelan steps inside and looks about, hoping to catch sight of Jean once again.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses and looks behind him.
<Zeal> 6A green-eyed girl pauses, smiling sheepishly and trying to 'look cute' like Jean might, with her fingertips delicately poised along his pole-- for fishing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes her grabbing his crotch since he wouldn't carry his fishing pole out. 1"Hey beautiful"
* Kaelan continues to look, frowning as she moves along steadily towards the meeting place, she stops at a fruit seller and looks around.
<Zeal> 6The girl pauses, then looks disappointed. 1"Aw, too kind. But just the one pouch?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh a thief huh? 6He peers at her, flexing his crotch since her hand still on it.
<Zeal> <Girl> A beautiful thief." 6She notes. 1"You're poor-- and smell like fish."
<Zeal> <Girl> Traveler..!?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And you're hands still caressing my junk. So I'm guessing maybe a whore instead?
<Zeal> <Girl> Junk, hm? So it's no treasure. Pity." 6She lets go, her other hand bringing over and assortment of miscellaneous items Dahok had on his person.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes her holding his boxers, since he didn't leave the castle with anything valuable. 1"Now that's an impressive feat."
<Zeal> <Girl> Impressive pattern!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You really have a way with fingers.
<Zeal> <Girl> I sure do!" 6She twirls her fingers, settling a curved dagger into her hand; smiling.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes the knife and rests his hands behind his back. 1"So you done feeling me up?"
<Zeal> 6The girl muses, then slashes two holes in the boxes and hops to set them over Dahok's head.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok steps forward quickly, moving to wrap his arms around her and hug her
<Zeal> <Girl> Now you look like a thief-- a mask and all.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hugs her tightly. 1"I'm more of a pirate kind of guy."
<Zeal> <Girl> Ohhh." 6She snickers slightly. 1"Yeah, I know about those."
<Zeal> 6She takes a deep breath. 1"Heeeeelp!! Bandit attacking me!"
<DeathStar> 6* People turn to stare at a boxer faced Bandit hugging some girl
<DeathStar> 6* Then move on
* Kaelan frowns a bit more as she keeps looking, moving on if she sees nothing for a nearby food shop which seems to sell sweets.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hugs tighter. 1"I love how whores say such nice things."
<Zeal> 6She deadpans at that. In a hug she squirms but can't lift her arms, so instead levels her knife and pricks Dahok between the legs threateningly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I see we're in quite the impasse. I figure with as hard as I'm squeezing you, you should be getting light headed soon. So if you stab me, there's a good chance I'll squeeze even harder from the pain and knock you out.
<Zeal> <Girl> No guy keeps doing what they're doing from that." 6She raises an eyebrow, then swivels slightly and moves to bury her knee in his crotch.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hurks and let's go falling to his knees
<Zeal> 6The girl smiles, patting him on his boxer'd head and then scurries off quickly before the scene gets anymore noticeably odd
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok reaches upto pull his boxers off and tosses them to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Time continues to pass
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's out a huff after a while and stands up now, rubbing his crotch. He moves off now
* Kaelan continues her search, getting steadily more worried as she does, stopping in a supply shop near the tavern she plans to meet Dahok in.
<DeathStar> 6* People move about hanging up glowstone lanterns with different colors to make it look like red glows, or blue glows. The festival underway
<DeathStar> 6* The king is dead, long live the king indeed
<Zeal> 6The girl hands over the edge of one of the buildings, upside-down, reaching to steal some of the glowstones.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers up at the different colored lanterns, an amused look, as he moves along the streets
* Kaelan has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Some people come out to peer at the missing glowstones and accuse the others of being lazy
<Zeal> 6The girl snickers from amongst them, and moves along
* Kaelan has joined #TAW-Medieval
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kaelan
<DeathStar> 6* Near the gates, soldiers stand guard, eyeing people who come in and go; Templars are with them
<DeathStar> 6* Stuff.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok makes sure to steer clear of groups of templars
<DeathStar> 6* The taverns begin to fill up as the afternoon wears on
* Kogitsune has joined #TAW-Medieval
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs his face as he makes his way to the tavern
* Kaelan makes her way as well, rubbing the back of her head. She steps inside.
<DeathStar> 6* The tavern is 3/4ths crowded with people talking and laughing. One table seems to be full of games talking to someone.
* Kaelan approaches the table.
<DeathStar> 6* Some blonde is at the table, her hair parted over one eye, as she talks to all these men; she has tankards in front of her and empty plates of food.
* Kaelan tries to get closer to get a good look at her.
<Zeal> 6Kaelan bumps into someone.
* Kaelan blinks and looks over, despite probably bumping into a lot of people.
<Zeal> 6The girl from earlier blinks at Kaelan, then laughs.
<Kaelan> "Hey, what're you doin here?"
<Zeal> <Girl> Blondie seemed interesting!
<Kaelan> "Mmm, I bet." *she keeps trying to get a better look*
<DeathStar> 6* The guys keep blocking the view, it seems. Some of them look ready to fight each other to get closer
* Kaelan frowns and works to get around them and over to the girl's side of the table.
<Zeal> 6The girl walks over and taps on a few of their shoulders, then reaches up and tosses her hair a bit, smiling.
<DeathStar> 6* A few guys peer at the girl in annoyance, then blink. "Wow, you two sisters?" 6* The other blonde peers at her and it's definitely Jean.
<Zeal> <Girl> Don't know, can't see!
<DeathStar> 6* One of the guys pats his lap for the girl
* Kaelan takes the oppurtunity to get closer to Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, she can't really, unless she plans to try to throw some guys out of her way
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's back is to the wall
* Kaelan leans forward. "Jean!"
<DeathStar> 6* People are the table continue to talk loudly to Jean, though a few eye Kaelan in annoyance
<Zeal> 6The girl grins at him, then leaps to stand on his lap.
<DeathStar> 6* The man makes a face at the girl.
<Zeal> 6She uses him to reach the table, walking long its top toward Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* This causes the men to get annoyed and start yelling at her, while the bartender looks over and makes a face; Jean leans her head back to eye the girl as she steps over the table surface
* Kaelan sighs and steps back, she undoes her top a little bit and musses her hair, then starts to move up close to a guy. "Hey, can I join this table?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You going to let a petty thief get to our friend first? 6He looks at Kaelan.
<Zeal> 6The girl crouches, to peer eye to eye with Jean, her face looking awed and staring with bright eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Normally that might wok fo Kaelan, considering her 10 charisma, but with some imp on the table, the guys look annoyedly focused on her; one reaches out to grab at her legs
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hello?
* Kaelan sighs, "We might not have to worry about that, they'll drag her off at this rate."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Doubt it. 6He rests his hands behind his neck. 1"Atleast we found Jean."
<Kaelan> "Yeah well, let's keep her found."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well you did, I should say.
* Kaelan leans back in and taps a man's shoulder.
<Zeal> 6The girl steps lightly opposite of the man reaching for her, grinning at Jean. 1"Hi!"
<DeathStar> 6* THE MAN Eyes Kaelan
* Kaelan smiles at him, "Got room at this table for me? I can wrestle that annoying rat off the table if you want." *she winks*
<DeathStar> 6* More people to grab a the girl, so Jean snags her wrist and yanks her into the seat beside her, getting a burly man there to mov
<DeathStar> <Man> You can sit on my lap if you want, sweetcakes.
* Kaelan smiles and nods, moving to do so. "Sure think handsome."
* Kaelan leans over the table when she gets on his lap, giving a bit of a show for anyone looking her way, and she waves at Jean.
<Zeal> 6The girl blinks, then twirls around and drops to sit lightly beside Jean, beaming at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean finally peers over at Kaelan, deadpanning slighly. Then laughs politely at a joke some guy says, and gets another plate of fruits from someone
* Kaelan gives her a reassuring smile.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans over to a guy and points at the thief girl, explaining how she's a whore for money.
<Zeal> 6The girl leans over to Jean. 1"Playing for fun?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's eyes cut over to Dahok now, and she eyes him in moe than a deadpanned look; one of the guys eyes the girl and Jean, leaning forwad. "So how much for a night with you both? Worth the trip north that you wanted, right?"
* Kaelan blinks, looking a little shocked.
<Zeal> <Girl> A night with me..? Priceless! Travel alone." 6She smiles. 1"Don't know about big sister here."
<Kaelan> "Jean..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes the man. "No trip would be worth that." 6* She notes flatly; the other guys hoot as he fumes. "Yeah, well, you aren't nothing but a whore, so why not put out?" 6* One guy grabs the man and picks him up to throw outside
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches, the guy get thrown out and takes his place.
<DeathStar> 6* Another man quickly notes he'd take her for free, starting debates who can do it fastest. Clearly they all assume they can get the sex on the way once she's out there alone
<Zeal> 6The girl makes a face at their comments, then leans in to Jean, jerking her thumb toward Dahok
<Kaelan> "I'm heading North, if that's all you need."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes some fruit and eats on it eyeing the girl, then Dahok, then Kaelen. A few of the guys eye Kaelan slowly
<Kaelan> "I'm sure if there's any... special arrangements... you need, we can talk them over." *she smiles at Jean, though she seems concerned*
<Zeal> 6The girl peers at her eating fruit and slowly reaches out to take some.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok yawns a bit as he looks at Jean. 1"Was worried about ya Jean."
<DeathStar> <Jean> That's amusing. 6* She notes dryly, and the guys peer at Dahok, then at Jean. <Man> He bothering you? We can deal with him if you like
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Amusing? Why's that?
* Kaelan looks between the two, by the look on her face, she already knows.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean doesn't answer, but seems to lose her appetite. She smiles at those around her. "I need use the outhouse." 6* The men move aside and she rises to her feet and to the back
* Kaelan gets up and heads after her. Girl's travel in packs after all.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches her go.
<DeathStar> 6* A few of the guys eye Dahok. "You know her or something?"
<Kogitsune> 6The girl pauses, then hops to her feet, trailing Jean, peering over at her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Yeah I do.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean exits the back, but doesn't move for the outhouse. It's clear she's drunk, but she seems to be handling it well all the same. She eyes the rooftops
<DeathStar> <Man> What is she like? What does she like?
* Kaelan moves over to join her. "Jean, wait up a sec. Please."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Stop calling me that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She's a good natured girl. 6He turns, moving for the bar now.
<Kaelan> "You haven't given us a name, all I see is the Jean I care about."
<Kaelan> "Either side of you."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Don't make me hurt you. 6* She notes flatly.
<DeathStar> <Man> Does she put out like a whore?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Nope.
<Kaelan> "Jean wouldn't like that. Look, don't leave, please."
<DeathStar> 6* Some of the men grumble and move of
<DeathStar> <Jean> Find a new crusade to rally around.
<Chad`Winters> 6Moves off to a corner table and plops down.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
<Kaelan> "Jean's my crusade, I'm not backing away from it."
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Why travel north?
<DeathStar> <Jean> I could--- 6* She pauses her threat to eye the girl
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Gets colder, sis.
<Kaelan> "It does. I can help you along the way, if you insist on going now. We all could, really."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I don't want your help; any of you.
<Kaelan> "Jean doesn't want any of us either?"
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Me either?" 6She makes a face in awe
<DeathStar> <Jean> That's right, none of you.
<Kaelan> "...That's not true."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Just because you don't want it to be true, doesn't mean that it isn't. I would think your time with me has shown you that truth more than once.
* ChanServ sets mode: +nt
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Kind of mean, sis. Never met and rejected!
<Kaelan> "Jean's stated plenty that she cares about us and wants us around. You're saying you don't, but there's two sides to you."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean glances at her. And she studies her hard. "You must have escaped today."
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Not really
* Kaelan frowns, looking at the girl. "If she's an elf we need to get her out of the city."
<Kogitsune> <Girl> I'm just like you. Didn't escape anything.
<Kaelan> "What's your name girl?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Well, you're right. I am mean. 6* She notes gruffly. "So why don't you make this one your new crusade, Kaelan, and leave me be?" 6* She turns to go
* ChanServ sets mode: +nt
<Kaelan> "I'm not leaving Jean. She can come with us."
<Kogitsune> <Girl> What's your name, mean sis?
<DeathStar> <Jean> You seem to believe you have a choice in my life.
<Kaelan> "You seem to believe you have a choice in mine."
<Kaelan> "I chose to follow you, I'm not changing my mind in that."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean lifts up her hand in Kaelan's face and unleashes a bright light that blindes her then moves on
* Kaelan shakes her head, holding her face, she stumbles after her. "S-Stop!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean just runs on for the gates, apparantly going to go alone since her bar plans were ruined
<Kogitsune> 6The girl skips along with Jean.
* Kaelan tries to regain her vision, shaking her head, starting to stumble in the direction of her footsteps, running. "Wait!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves out where other people are to muffle her footsteps, and squints at the guards and templars at the gate
* Kaelan follows into the crowd, moving feverishly to try and find her. "Jean...!"
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Afraid of muscle girl, sis?
<Kaelan> "Jean please!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean squints at her. "She'll be better off alone----" 6* Then curses in unknown language as people look at Kaelan then at her; the guards and templars begin to take notice
<DeathStar> 6* For a moment, killing intent rises from Jean toward Kaelan as she glares
* Kaelan rubs at her eyes, stumbling towards her. "Jean... come on... don't leave me..."
<DeathStar> 6* As Kaelan's sight returns, she'd only catch the glara the KI from Jean as her greeting
<Kogitsune> 6The girl pauses, then hugs onto Jean, brimming with amusement. 1"Sing with me, sis!"
* Kaelan blinks, looking at her, she moves towards her again.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks at that, the KI gone and replaced with startlement and confusion; the templars begin to approach
<Kogitsune> 6She closes her eyes, then starts to sound off a melodic voice seemingly larger than herself
* Kaelan frowns and moves over, putting an arm around them, leading them into the crowd and away from the guards.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then mimics the melody's pitch and tune, thouh is clearly mimicin what she hears; at first te Templars pause then eye Kaelan's ations and bein to approach aain
* Kaelan steps back from them a little at the song, she looks a little drink due to her returning eyesight.
<Kogitsune> 6The girl giggles. 1"Good, sis!" 6Then returns to it, either singing only tones or singing gibberish
<DeathStar> 6* People in the crowd stop to watch as the two keep singing; the templars eye them suspiciously from a distance
* Kaelan starts to hum along. Like she did with Jean earlier.
<DeathStar> 6* Finally, they move back to their posts after the crowd seems to get into it
<Kogitsune> 6The girl takes Jean's hands, tugging, starting to move herself to dance in a circle
* Kaelan sticks with the two, watching.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean, still embarrassed, is tugged along. "I--- but... they're gone now, stop it." 6* She frees her hand
<Kogitsune> <Girl> But you sound good, sis! The people like it.
<Kaelan> "You do actually..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes Kaelan, the anger still visible in her eyes, despite being embarrassed about the singing.
* Kaelan looks back, her face set in that way she gets when she's not going to waver about something.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's look of anger doesn't change; in fact, there seems to be actual hate present in her eyes.
<Kaelan> "Why do you hate us so much Jean?" *she asks softly*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Because you keep pushing yourself on me. 6* She states simply.
<Kaelan> "Your other side... I don't want to lose her. It's more then some silly dream of following you around."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes. My other side. 6* Her words are venomous. "As long as you get what you want, who cares what I want? Nevermind the fact I've been in control for almost a full day."
<Kaelan> "How much longer can you hold out? WHat happens when she wakes up? What do you really want? Let me help both of you, please."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I told you what I want. And if it's clear, it's what she wants, too, since I'm in control despite eating, sleeping, and drinking.
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Other... side?
<Kaelan> "...The fighting, the conflict, she was hiding because of it. I don't want fighting, I only want her well being."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes. This girl only cares about her selfish need to be with the fake. Enough so she's going to get me killed.
<Kaelan> "How is she fake?"
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Get sis killed?
<DeathStar> <Jean> She simply is.
<Kaelan> "She's not, I've talked to her, seen her feel, that's not fake... and I don't want to get you killed. Whatever your name is... we're going to do what you want to get done, come with me, I'll get you north."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes the other girl, bitterly. "Yes. I guess in her own way, she'll do what the Church wants done - my death."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Nevermind the fact I've stronger and better today than I have in weeks. By myself. Alone.
<Kaelan> "You wouldn't be here today at all without our help. Are you going to forget that?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> So because you helped me, I should continue to go against what I want to repay you, so you can pile on more 'debt'?
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Does half-pointy ear want sis to die?
<Kaelan> "No, none of us want that."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Nevermind the fact I restored your eyes. Shall I try to ressurect your father as well before you considered us even?
<Kaelan> "I don't want to play games with debt, I want to go with you and help you do what you need to do. You're going to the ruins, aren't you?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> And I don't want you to be anywhere near me.
<Kaelan> "Why?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> You are a burden and you will get me killed.
<DeathStar> <Jean> And yourselves.
<Kaelan> "You fixed my eyes so I wouldn't be a burden."
<Kaelan> "Let me protect you."
<DeathStar> <Jean> A decision I'm regretting.
<Kaelan> "You think we'll be better off?"
<Kogitsune> 6The girl waves her arms
<Kaelan> "Without you? What can I go back to? I have nothing."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Make a new life. Look at this one. She's clearly done well for herself despite odds.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean motions at the girl
<Kaelan> "She's not in the same situation we are and you know it. In the very least I can try and stop those bad things from happening."
<DeathStar> <Jean> You are worse than any man who's tried to take advantage of the other me. 6* She says darkly, her tone flat. "I wish nothing of you, yet you push yourself against me."
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Half-pointy didn't seem evil.
<Kaelan> "It's because you wish nothing of me that I want to help you."
<Kaelan> "You're the first thing, first cause in my life I've had that didn't demand my help."
<DeathStar> <Jean> If you're going to accompany me, then you'll have to throttle control from my hands. Because know this, I will fight you every step of the way, and I will hate you every time you get in my way; and when you fall again, I won't pick you up, but will be moving on.
<DeathStar> <Jean> And don't be so sure I won't be the one to push you.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes the girl in confusion now, not getting what she means
<Kaelan> "I'm not your owner, not a slaver. I want to follow you."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean ignores Kaelan, as if she were beneath contempt.
* Kaelan just stands there, waiting, it's clear she's not going to leave.
<Kogitsune> 6The girl eyes Kaelan, then leans up to Jean, getting close and poising as if going to kiss her
<DeathStar> <Jean> What is half-pointy? 6* She asks, then shifts back with a jerk.
<Kaelan> "I wonder if she's talking about Rachael somehow."
<DeathStar> <Jean> The only person who would rather not be with you all. 6* She notes snottily.
<Kaelan> "And you're going to leave her here."
<DeathStar> <Jean> And if that was my intention?
<Kogitsune> 6The girl keeps moving closer to Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Jean presses her back against the tavern wall, and focuses on the girl. "Whuh--What do you want?"
<Kaelan> "How can someone so cold have someone so much infinately warmer inside of them?"
<Kogitsune> 6The girl grins, opening her eyes and blows up across Jean's face, to waver her hair away from her other eye
<Kaelan> "...Or are you... is this all a facade?"
* Kaelan watches Jean slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at the girl with both eyes, not blinking them away. She loses the uncomfortable look for a blank one as her identity is revealed, then speaks flatly to Kaelan. "It's nice to know what you think of me, Kaelan." 6* She notes, then shakes her head once to get it back in place
<Kaelan> "And what do I think of you?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Tell me something; if I said I was leaving right now, without any of the others, what would you do?
<Kogitsune> 6The girl seems pleasantly awed again, then shifts to kiss her cheek, and nestles against her neck
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks at the signs of affections, as if unsure how to deal with them.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Why are you---? Don't you know what I am?
<Kaelan> "I'd have to follow you and hope they can catch up. I'm pretty sure they'd all be sure to keep an eye on you as well."
<Kogitsune> <Girl> The angel!
* Kaelan sighs. "Not everyone thinks what you are is ba---"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes. You should be trying to kill me. 6* She doesn't even look to see if those nearby looked over
* Kaelan tenses, as if listening for people to have noticed.
<Kaelan> "We don't."
<DeathStar> 6* Some people seem to be peering their way, then casually moving on. Perhaps too casually
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Want me to try, sis?
<Kaelan> "We should go, somewhere else, now."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I didn't say I wanted you to try. I said you should be trying. I only attract two kinds of things; things that want me dead, and things that seem to think they're protecting me.
<Kaelan> "Half the time we are protecting you."
<DeathStar> <Jean> All the time you're breaking my heart and slowly killing me.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Or, I should say 'her' heart. Thankfully I lack one.
<Kaelan> "...I don't think you lack one."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I do. I've already debated killing you, Kaelan Di'neer.
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Don't know about that, but looked for angel for a long time-- and she's warm. Her heart beats strongly.
<Kaelan> "Yet you haven't. Please... let's not get into this. You talk about us breaking her heart, what would waking up with all of us gone do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks at that girl's words. "W-W-What are you talking about?"
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum!
* Kaelan smiles.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes her like she's dealing with mad dog.
<Kaelan> "This girl says you have a heart and she only just met you."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Of course I have a heart that she can feel! 6* She sputters. "I'm still alive."
<Kaelan> "And you clearly have feelings."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Of annoyance.
<Kaelan> "I've seen anger, and I believe I even saw a flicker of care."
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Unlike muscle girl if she keeps annoying angel.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, looking intrigued now
* Kaelan jerks a bit.
<Kaelan> "...Where do you want to go, when?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> ...
<Kaelan> "I'm asking you what you want to do. You want to push forward, I'm sorry but I have no other choice but to follow you. I can go with you or always be a step behind."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean still doesn't respond to Kaelan. She shifts to push herself from the wall slowly, eyeing as the city guard and Templars remain on alert. "Give me gold." 6* She tells Kaelan.
* Kaelan pulls coins out and hands them to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes them, peering at them, as if unsure if it's enough or not, but then moves for the Tavern
* Kaelan follows her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stops at the Tavern entrance ,peers around, then eyes the inn, moving to it
<Kogitsune> 6The girl reaches to grasp Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, glancing at the girl. "What?"
* Kaelan continues to trail along.
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Can we get half-pointy?
<Kaelan> "If she intends to stay the night, maybe, she's in town... or should still be."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I don't plan to get anyone. If they follow me, then I guess I'll have no choice. I'm getting a room at the inn anyway. 6* She moves inside the inn to pay for one room
<Kogitsune> 6The girl tugs on Jean again
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at her again; despite her words, she never seems to react out of annoyance by smacking
* Kaelan smiles a bit at that, noticing it.
<Kogitsune> 6The girl smiles, handing Jean a literal handful of coins
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks as she takes the coins. "Why---are you giving me---this?" 6* She asks in confusion, looking at her
<Kogitsune> <Girl> Then get a room! I'll get the halfling.
<Kaelan> "Sounds like a plan."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean, still completely confused, takes the coins to get the room. It seems this whacky girl is keeping her off balance
<Kaelan> "Right, let's wait in the room."
<Kogitsune> 6She leans over and kisses Jean's cheek, then scurries out
* Kaelan giggles.
<Kaelan> "I'm starting to like this girl."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean then gives the inn owner extra coins, pointing at Kaelan. "If she follows me up before two minutes, she is going up to rape me; she's been following me all day and acting like she knows me. Please keep an eye on her sir." 6* She bows as she gets the key and moves up the stairs to the rooms
<DeathStar> 6* The inn owner eyes Kaelan slowly
* Kaelan rolls her eyes and sighs, "She's got a weird sense of humor."
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender just keeps his eyes on her. "Well, stay right there for now, missy."
<Kaelan> "Fine, fine."
* Kaelan turns and steps outside and watches the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* A pretty roof
* Kaelan coounts out the two minutes, walks back inside, and heads to the stairs.
<DeathStar> <Innkeeper> If you're going up, you have to pay for a room
* Kaelan walks over, puts the coins on the counter, holding her hand out for the key.
<DeathStar> 6* He gives her one
* Kaelan heads upstairs.
<DeathStar> 6* There's about six rooms
* Kaelan moves to her room and opens the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Your basic room
* Kaelan sets the door open, puts her stuff down near the door and the sits in the doorway, watching the hall for a little while.
<DeathStar> 6* DEfinite little while
<Kaelan> * She waits to see if little ninja girl comes back.
<DeathStar> 6* Thump
* Kaelan frowns, looking around.
<DeathStar> 6* Eerie silence now
* Kaelan looks in the direction the thump came from.
<DeathStar> 6* Her heart. Kidding. Seemed like a room next to her's.
* Kaelan moves over to the door to that room, she knocks.
<DeathStar> 6* A pause, then a badly disguised female voice. "Yes?"
<Kaelan> "You're trying too hard."
<DeathStar> <Voice> K-Kaelan? 6* Scared female voice now.
<Kaelan> "Yes, it's me, who's that?"
<DeathStar> 6* The door can be heard unlocking slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Then a fumbling sound as it stops
* Kaelan tries the door.
<DeathStar> 6* The knob turns
* Kaelan looks inside as she opens the door.
<DeathStar> 6* AS she opens it, there's a thud as it hits something and somene falls over, holding their face
<Kaelan> "Wha...?" *she tries to get a better look at the person*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds her face, tears in her eyes, then moves to grab Kaelan with one hand. "Jean was scared. Strange place and no bells!"
* Kaelan pulls her close and hugs her tight. "It's okay, I'm here now."
<Kaelan> "Jean... we need to talk."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean keeps holding her one eye as she's pulled in. "Jean's face hurts."
<Kaelan> "My fault I think... sorry."
* Kaelan leans in and softly kisses it. "Better?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shakes her head sadly, removing her hand; her eye looks a bit puffy, like she got slugged by a fist, or knob
<Kaelan> "Yeah... my fault, sorry Jean. When we get to the palace we can get that looked at. Look... there's a problem."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused. "Did Jean do bad again?"
<Kaelan> "No... we did, the entire group. We've been arguing and making you sad."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down
* Kaelan gently puts her finger under her chin and guides her to look up. "We're gonna fix that, alright? I need your help to hold this team together."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kay.
<Kaelan> "We're here... when we're happy, you feel stronger and better, don't you?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean feel better when everyone happy. 6* She nods
<Kaelan> "And when we argue, seem angry, or get sad, you feel weaker and distant, don't you? That's when you black out."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean not like it when everyone upset, so Jean wish she could just hide somewhere safe,
<Kaelan> "And you actually try to. You lose yourself and become this other person. She's... well she does things her own way. That's why you keep waking up in strange places."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused
<Kaelan> "Yeah, I'd be confused too. I'll try to explain it better later. But... what can I do to make you feel better? I'll do anything for you Jean."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean feel better already! 6* She smiles with one eye closed. "But get feeling should wait here for someone..."
<Kaelan> "We should, we made a new friend and she's bringing Rachael."
* Kaelan smiles and looks around as though shy, then kisses Jean's cheek.
<DeathStar> <Jean> That's nice!
<Kaelan> "I know the group has their differences... but they all really just want the best for each other. I'll help get them to be better friends okay?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Promise?
<Kaelan> "I promise."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean beams, then leans against Kaelan, pausing this scene for now
