<DeathStar> Date: 4.26.2389
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* After playing tag with Harbinger in her dreams and memories, and being chased around and around by the God, Nephilim would finally awaken to find herself on a hard bed with no comfort, and a chain around her neck that is attached firmly to the wall; it seems to allow movement about the bed, and she can even plant her feet on the floor comfortablely (cont)
<Nephilim> The heck...
* Nephilim fiddles with the chain a moment, then gazes around the room
<Nephilim> Weird dream...
<DeathStar> 6* The room has a single window, that seemed boarded shut, and a bookcase with pamplets and other written documents. A table is also visible next to the bed, and within reaching distance. There's a large wooden door, that is shut.
<DeathStar> 6* Other than that, the room seems like a typical room that one may sleep in
<DeathStar> 6* After a moment, the table wobbles slightly from something shifting.
<Kit> 6Nephilim glances to the table, frowning.
* Nephilim has quit IRC (Quit: jmIrc destroyed by the OS)
<DeathStar> 6* The floor looks solid with no visible lines, even to her thief eyes, until a moment passes and she'd see the floor lift slightly under the table. A hidden trap door. The table wobbles, and the floor settles back down. It's clear whoever is doing it is attempting to be very silent
<Kit> <Nephilim> ..." 6She deadpans, eyeing it move, then shifts to sit on the edge of the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a light tap on the floor from underneath, then the floor tries to lift again, slowly. Whoever it is seems to be trying to shift the table off without knocking it over
<Kit> 6Nephilim squints, then shakes her head with a smirk, leaning off the bed slightly and being thankful for having long legs-- hooking the table with her foot and sliding it toward herself.
<DeathStar> 6* The table slides off quietly, and the trap door swings open, though a hand catches it to make sure it doesn't make a loud noise. A man pulls himself out - in his mid-twenties, with light brown hair, and a fairly handsome complexion. His brown eyes shift to face Nephilim, and she'd recognize him as the Templar who helped Zeal earlier
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas brings a finger to his lips, indicating the door and holds up two fingers, then moves over to her
<Kit> 6Nephilim tilts her head, then peers over toward the door, then him with an amused look, saying nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas pulls out a blue stone and holds it against the chain; she'd feel something, but after a moment, the chain unlocks. He indicates with a wave of his hand for her to follow him and moves back into the trap door
<Kit> 6Nephilim runs her fingers along her neck, then peers at the stone curiously, leaning toward it like an animal assuming one has food, then steps down lightly, following along.
<DeathStar> 6* The passage is narrow, and Thomas is forced to bend over. Once Nephilim is down, he reaches up and closes the trap door, then begins to lead her down the narrow area, forced to move slowly due to being crouched down. After a bit, they reach a T section, and he goes right.
<DeathStar> 6* This continues a bit until he crawls through an opening on the left, even though the passage continues, and once on the other side, there is room to stand. He helps Nephilim through, and she'd find herself in what seems to be a narrow "hallway" that the width will only accomodate one person walking down it at a time. On either side of them are walls, adn some voices can be heard.
<Kit> 6Nephilim leans forward peering to the left, then mumbles a bit following him.
<Kit> 6Nephilim peers about with a smile, then pauses, shifting to lift her bandana and set an ear to the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* A guy seems to be talking about the ship and Seren
<DeathStar> 6* Apparantly it is a hdiden passage that runs between rooms, or whatnot. Thomas moves down it, taking rights and lefts, until finally he comes to yet another tiny crawlspace and moves through it, once again leading Nephilim through a crouched space.
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit, they reach a dead end, and Thomas pushes against it and the wall moves forward and he crawls through into a room and rises. Once Nephilim is through, she'd see it is a tiny room with a table, and two chairs, and some shelves with supplies; two windows and a door is also present. Thomas moves to look out a window
<DeathStar> <Thomas> It's safe to talk.
<Kit> <Nephilim> You must be 'sir Thomas.'
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks back, then seems embarrassed suddenly. "Oh, yes. Sorry for not introducing myself. I'm, uh, sure you have a lot of questions, and I will answer them as best I can, but I have some important ones for you first that must be answered right away
<Kit> 6Nephilim leans forward, smirking as she raises a finger. 1"I'm here to rescue you!"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> W-What? 6* He looks flustered, and his train of thought derailed.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Oh, I just felt like saying that once.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas stares, then rubs the back of his head a moment. But then he looks serious again, though still apologetic. "Harbinger. Did he manage to catch you in your dreams? Or do anything to you?"
<Kit> <Nephilim> What do you want to know? My measurements?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks flustered again
<Kit> <Nephilim> Harbinger-- is that who that was?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Then he did try. Did he succeed?
<Kit> 6Nephilim leans back, rubbing her finger across her lips.
<Kit> <Nephilim> I wouldn't say he caught me. I'm pretty difficult in that respect, believe it or not.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Definitely had me going-- little Rachael and Valen.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Wait, are we talking about the clock on the head, or dreamtag?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods slowly, looking thoughtful. "I can believe it; it would match what I managed to overhear. Harbinger apparantly went into a trance to make you his pawn, like Lady Kaelan, but when he came out of it, he was in a rage and ordered the ships to prepare to sail right away, then left in a beam of light.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> That would mean you must possess it.
<Kit> 6Nephilim blinks, then holds up her hand, giggling-- then pauses.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Huh? Possess what?
<Kit> 6Nephilim slides her hand down her leg, just within her skirt's side cut and brandishes her knife. 1"This is all I got-- my trusty friend."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Anyone that Harbinger takes over cannot resist him. Human. Elf. Except for a handful of people that possess the ability to use the 'Light'. There's a lot of ancient texts on it, but I've only been allowed to look at a few. Apparantly if a being has the Light, it can repel people from using them. Our ancestors supposedly had it, and the gods went about wiping them out
<Kit> <Nephilim> Thieves don't have much in the way of possess-- eh?
<Kit> 6Nephilim deadpands, then looks confused. 1"Light..?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> There hasn't been a documented case of a Light-user in over two hundred years. If you repelled the gods, that must be it.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks thoughtful, then looks over, flustered again. "My apologizes. Let me see how to phrase this..."
<Kit> <Nephilim> Repelled... gods... I don't..." 6She blinks. 1"I don't know anything about lights and gods, but it means I'm pretty wicked, right? Hee-- I would say my mind's my own if you asked." 6She puts her hands on her hips, smirking smugly.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Like some people can use magic, some people can use the 'Light'. It's an ability that allows the person to do many unusual things. Some say they could illuminate the darkness, others said they could use it to injure people. And they could keep people from their minds. Did you have any guardians present in your dreams? They may have been how you manifested the Light
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I don't have too much information on it; most of the documents on Light users is at the Church homebase, unfortunately.
<Kit> <Nephilim> In all honestly? Light? The only thing I've ever had going for me are a good complexion and a pretty voice...
<Kit> 6Nephilim peers to the side, frowning. 1"Well, I don't know about a guardian."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm, maybe you haven't learned to draw it out yet.
<Kit> <Nephilim> But little Rachael was looking out for me. Kind of funny since she was such a shorty.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Rachael? Hm. Interesting. But if you do possess the Light, there is another way we can use it to reach your friends and help them before Harbinger and the Church comes down on them. 6* He pauses, then looks embarrassed. "Oh, I apologize for assuming things. I should say if you want to go help them, there is a way."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> The Church has blocked off the port so we can't use conventional means like a ship
<Kit> 6Nephilim leans forward quickly and grabs his shirt in both hands. 1"Tell me."
<Kit> 6Nephilim stares sternly, regardless of difference in height or size.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks, looking down, then back. "The ancients had a system of travel called Lightstones." 6* He notes slowly. "The Gods destroyed many of them, since they couldn't use them. Only Light-users could make the stones transport them. The Church has documented what few were left behind, and what few they know about. I suspect there are a few on every continent, even ones the Church doesn't know about."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> But, they have documented a Lightstone being in the capital city of Nuege. It would take four days to reach it, but it is our only option to reach them in time. The only port is here, and the church has it locked down
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We would arrive at Serene about the time the others should be arriving by ship. And hopefully in time to help them
<Kit> <Nephilim> I have no idea what you're talking about. I mean... stones don't float or fly-- but if you say it'll work. Take me.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Kaelan, Rachael and Zeal are in danger. If there's a chance I can get there, I'll take it.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I don't know how it will work either, to be honest. This stone I have here will help you focus your ability once we get to it. 6* He holds out the blue stone to her. "The ancient documents stated that the Lightuser, and whoever was accompanying her, would stand on the stone and think of the place they wanted to go, and they would just be there
<Kit> 6Nephilim gladly takes the stone, smiling like a child with a new toy because she finally gets to examine it, then jerks, peering at him. 1"We'll figure it out."
<Kit> <Nephilim> I can't let Rachael down. She says Zeal's giggly for you, so let's get you to her already.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I have two horses ne=-- 6* He pauses, looking flustered. "Lady Zeal...?"
<Kit> <Nephilim> And that Harbinger still has a vine to Kaelan. I have to figure out a way to cut it off.
<Kit> 6Nephilim looks thoughtful herself. 1"If I knifed him here, would it do anything?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> He is a God.
<Kit> <Nephilim> So? They all bleed.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks out the window again, and opens the door. "Come, we must ride quick and hard."
<DeathStar> 6* He seems to look flustered still, even as he steps out
<Kit> <Nephilim> Um. Let's save that for when you're with Zeal, 'kay?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas stumbles
<Kit> <Nephilim> How do we get out of here?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Just---follow me. To the horses. 6* He moves out, and Zeal would see they're in the city somewhere, on the far edge
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 4.27.2389
<DeathStar> Location: The Angel Ship
<DeathStar> 6* It is early morning when suddenly a wailing sound comes from the captain's cabin, which has been taken over by the Angel, and the sounds of crying drift out. The crew looks over, unnerved
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Al'ryl...
<Kit> 6Zeal looks pained and turns to walk calmly to the captain's cabin.
* Kaelan peers around, walking with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stumbles out from below deck, her ears hidden, but the way her hari is moving, they're clearly twitching. "What happened?"
<Kit> <Zeal> I believe our lady has returned for now.
<Kaelan> "By the sound of it? Jean woke up."
* Kaelan tries the door with her good arm.
<DeathStar> 6* As she opens the door, she'd see Jean on the bed, crying hard as she grips the sheets; her hood has fallen back, though she's still dressed in the same outfit as before, and tears stream down her face. Carly is there also, despite no one seeing her board the ship, or even being on the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Carly covers her ears. "It is painful."
<Kaelan> "What'd... oh jeez..." *she sits down besides Jean, putting her arm around the girl*
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy emerges from below deck, peering at Rachael, who is hanging back as she watches the cabin, then looks about with a blank expression to see what is going on
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Kaelan, and tries to speak between choked sobs. "B-Baby..."
<DeathStar> 6* Soma hides further into Zeal's breasts to escape the crying
* Kaelan hugs her close. "Shhh... breathe sweetie..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean buries her face into Kaelan's chest, still sobbing. "All my fault." 6* She says between sobs.
<Kaelan> "No it's not... you aren't to be blamed for the actions of bad men." *rubs her back*
<Kit> <Zeal> She is right, lady Al'ryl..
<DeathStar> <Jean> W-Was suppose to protect...*Sob choke* him...and everyone... 6* She keeps crying. Carly quickly retreats
* Kaelan rubs her back and gently moves so that she rocks Jean gently. She doesn't say anything for a moment.
<Kaelan> "You did your best Jean, that's all that matters. You stopped the leader of the bad men all by yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean finally begins to wind down, doing more gasp and sobs. "Didn't do anything. Bad leader." 6* She pulls back, her eyes bloodshot from crying, her skin pale and veins still showing like the day before.
* Kaelan kisses her cheek gently. "Jean... you're a good leader. Don't talk like that."
<Kit> <Zeal> None of us would have accomplished anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sniffles again. "Think that I'm ill. Room keeps moving."
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks and walks over, putting the back of her hand to Jean's forehead
<DeathStar> 6* She is, indeed, running a fever, though the movement could be from the ocean
<Kaelan> "You're weak from using your abilties... and we're on a ship."
* Kaelan guides her to lay down. "You need to rest."
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Al'ryl, you have a fever... but have you ever been aboard a ship? It rocks on top of the water while it moves...
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then refuses to lay down. A small look of happiness flashes. "Ship? Jean get to wear Dahok's hat now and fish and sail?"
<DeathStar> 6* She sounds hopeful
<DeathStar> <Jean> First time. DAhok was going to show Jean lots of things. Where's Dahok? 6* She whines
<Kit> 6Zeal winces. 1"... Lady Al'ryl..." 6She looks to the others, silent a moment, then motions for them to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to move over to the railing on the ship, having been watching from the doorway
* Kaelan nods gently and gets up. "I'll get you something for the motion. And the fever." *she steps out of the room*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Poor thing.. . 6* She murmurs to Kaelan. "When she finds out...'
<Kit> 6Zeal blinks, wondering when Kaelan became a doctor or had anything for either-- but shakes her head and sits down by Jean, taking a breath, then hesitantly peers over her before telling her the lie that the angel told her to say.
* Kaelan looks at the water. She murmurs, "I hope Zeal lies."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks, looking upset, but probably not as much as the truth. "D-Dahok left? Did...Jean do something..wrong?" 6* She looks down, like a schoolgirl who learned their crush hates them
<Kit> <Zeal> Of course not, lady Al'ryl." 6She smiles weakly, bringing her into a hug. 1"...He just... went his own way. It is safer that way, is it not?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Mmmm.
<Kit> <Zeal> Just like that elf..
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs her back, looking sad, but then nods. "As long as Dahok is safe." 6* She murmurs, then blinks. "Nephy gone, too?" 6* Her lips tremble
* Kaelan looks down at the water, hiding her face.
<Kit> 6Zeal nods. 1"She went her own way as well. With Thomas."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. Jean sorry for Zeal. 6* She hugs her comfortingly now, patting her back. "Jean here for Zeal, though."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes the water, then pauses when a big gray animal leaps from the water and does a flip before landing back in.
<Kit> <Zeal> I-- am grateful, lady Al'ryl." 6She squeezes Jean, perhaps a bit too tight, but doesn't want to let her go just yet with her own eyes watering.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean doesn't complain, and rocks Zeal side to side. She begins to hum a lullaby like tune to her
* Kaelan blinks a bit, looking at it. "What was that?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-- do not know. 6* It flips again for them, then pokes it's head up and makes noises
<DeathStar> <Sailor> That's a water dog. It does tricks for sailors in hopes of fish.
<Kaelan> "Water dog..? Sounds cute."
<DeathStar> 6* It flaps a fin at them. Rachael smiles slowly, despite herself, and even Mercy looks over. Meanwhile, Soma pokes his head up from between crushing boobs and licks Zeal's face
<Kit> 6Zeal leans back, blinking at Soma-- then smiles softly.
<Kaelan> "Do... we have any fish to give it?" *she wipes her eyes like she's tired*
<Kit> <Zeal> Why not rest a little while, then you can come out and see the sea with us, lady Al'ryl.
<DeathStar> <Sailor> We could give it a few scraps.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, but then peers at the open door. "What's a water dog?"
<DeathStar> 6* One moves off and gets a bucket of some tiny fish and sets it down. Rachael takes one and tosses it over for it, and the creature snaps it up
<Kit> <Zeal> Cute fish animals that are very friendly.
* Kaelan giggles a little bit, she smiles gently and grabs one, tossing it.
<Kit> <Zeal> They are common in warm waters and around populated harbors where they entertain in hopes of scraps and food.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Can I look before resting? Please?
<Kit> <Zeal> Hm... Well, it may go away... if you wish, lady Al'ryl." 6She stands, offering her hand to Jean.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It's adorable. 6* She notes as it eats it up and does a flip
<Kaelan> "Jean! Cute fish out here!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes her hand and rises, stumbling and leaning against Zeal - barely able to walk. It's a wonder the Angel managed to go to and from the ship the previous night, judging by Jean's wobbily legs
<DeathStar> 6* Soma hops out of the boobs and pads over to the bucket
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy quietly takes one and tosses it over, watching the creature snap it up
<Kit> 6Zeal supports her to go outside. 1"Soma, do not overeat."
<DeathStar> 6* Carly eyes it. "I wonder what it tastes like. We should catch it and eat it."
<Kit> <Zeal> Tough and stringy. You would not like it.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean works her way over, then leans over and despite her puffy face and red eyes, smiles in delight at the water dog as it does more tricks
<Kit> 6Zeal keeps ahold of Jean, making sure she doesn't fall over.
<DeathStar> 6* Some sailors eye Jean and murmur wonderingly how a 'cold bitch' could even cry.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes a fish and tosses it out, then giggles as it eats it. Soma, meanwhile, leans into the bucket and tries to pull a fish out
* Kaelan peers at the sailors.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs Zeal and kisses her on the lips. Rachael peers over, blinking, then eyes as Jean kisses Kaelan on the lips, too.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean love you all
* Kaelan goes deep red and blushes. "I-I... we love you too... Jean." *she busies herself with helping Soma get a fish*
<Kit> 6Zeal staggers back in surprise, blushing, eyeing Rachael with a start.
<DeathStar> 6 *Rachael giggles
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Nuege.
<DeathStar> 6* The second night on the Icy Plains. Thomas sets up a camp that Zeal would be proud of, then kneels by the fire to warm himself. He offers some jerky. "I apologize it's the same meal again."
<Kit> <Zeal> Tastes great!" 6She chimes, regardless of whether it does or not, looking as if she can't tell the difference as she gobbles it.
<Kit> NRP: Nephilim*
<Kit> <Nephilim> You're pretty handy. Do all Templars learn survival stuff, or are you some kind of backline support like Zeal?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I actually learned this from Zeal. I'm good at following directions. 6* He pauses, then asks, hesitantly. "Did Zeal seem well last you saw her?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Hm, before or after the slavers caught us?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Slavers caught you? 6* He stiffens at that, peering at "Zeal".
<Kit> <Nephilim> Yeah, didn't she mention that when you talked? Bandits that only had interest in us 'females?'
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Did they hurt her?
<Kit> <Nephilim> She's pretty rattled... That whole maid get up has been her stick since it happened. Seems like she'd rather just stay out of people's way and be useful, I guess.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Rachael's helped her. The two are good for each other.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers at the fire, looking upset and troubled. "I shouldn't have left..." 6* He murmurs, closing his eyes
<Kit> <Nephilim> Left? Ooo.. I have to hear. How'd you meet?!
<Kit> <Nephilim> Did she snub you with the whole strong feminine role thing, or did you ditch her?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I learned they were with the Angel and aided them for a time. However, after they brought along a demon that had killed dozens, if not hundreds of people, I didn't feel it right, so I parted ways at Nuege. 6* He sighs, setting his jerky down
<Kit> <Nephilim> Really? So why'd they bring the demon? You must mean Carly.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes. I think Zeal hoped to ... better her. I was not so sure such a creature could be bettered.
<Kit> <Nephilim> I haven't seen her eat anyone!
<Kit> <Nephilim> She corners Zeal a lot and makes her shiver, but I think she just finds it fun. I know I do.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> That is good. Perhaps I was too judgemental. ... 6* He takes in a breath and lets it out, looking like he wishes he could damn himself. Then looks at Nephilim, opening his eyes, staring in confusion
<Kit> <Nephilim> What?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I--- ... 6* He looks flustered. "I should sleep; we have another day of hard riding." 6* He moves to his tent
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* It is night on the waters and the wind isn't blowing, leaving the ship adrift on the sea. With his water having run out, Dahok's thirst levels build. And the only food is whatever he catches fishing, but of course, with no way to cook them
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes the sails as he leans against the back of the boat. 1"Just my luck."
<DeathStar> 6* His symbol tingles still when facing a certain direction, indicating Jean is somewhere that way. but the tingling grows fainter every hour
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok closes his eyes briefly as he ponders taking a risk with something, then opens them again. 1"Well atleast you had one of hell of a journey."
<DeathStar> 6* In the distance, a fog drifts along the ocean, and he'd see a giant shape of something moving; after a moment, he'd see a large boat, with Templar symbols, moving along - its made of wood, but has ore plates along parts of the hull, and seems to be moving without any wind.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes it, then rubs his eyes and looks at it again, standing up now as he moves to that side of the boat.
<DeathStar> 6* The Templar ship sails on - it will pass by his ship and probably not notice him at all. It's a good swim pace away from him
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts and grabs some rope quickly and tosses it around himself. His eyes judging the distance. 1"Well, if I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna go out trying." 6He begins taking deep breaths then sprints along his boat and leaps into the water. He starts swimming as hard as he can towards the boats path.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship sails on obliviously t ohim, even as he reaches the side of it. However, since he lacks wall climbing, there is no way for him to climb the side
<DeathStar> 6* Up above him, a Templar can be seen moving. He might would hear Dahok if Dahok made a noise
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok whistles loudly. 1"HEY!"
<DeathStar> 6* The Templar pauses, then leans over, and shines down a glowstone. He eyes Dahok, then begins to shout to others about someone being over the side
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok tries to atleast grab onto the ship in hopes of atleast not getting left behind
<DeathStar> 6* Moments pass, and Dahok is launched up in the air and lands roughly on the deck, surrounded by templars with swords and arrows readied, plus a few of the Templars in different uniforms, eyeing him. One steps forward. Odin
<DeathStar> <Odin> So you survived after all
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok groans a bit as he hits the deck hard. 1"I'm been told I'm like one of those bugs that's hard to get rid off." 6He slowly rolls onto his back. 1"So many men for someone so...harmless."
<DeathStar> <Odin> Hardly. Harbinger will be glad that he he will have his pawn after all. 6* Something comes down on Dahok's head, knocking him out
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 4.28.2389
<DeathStar> Location: Boat of Angels
<DeathStar> 6* Jean is on the side of the deck early the next morning, with a fishing rod that looks familiar dangling over the side
* Kaelan steps out onto the deck, yawning a little as she walks over to watch. "Catch anything yet?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean doesn't seem to hear her at first, then jerks, scrambling to hold the rod. "No." 6* She looks at it. "If Dahok left, why is his rod here?"
<Kit> <Zeal> It was a gift.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "He... wanted you to have it, so you could fish like he promised."
* Kaelan speaks softly, then looks at the water.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. 6* She touches it slowly, with a sad look, but peers back at the water expectantly. Mercy, meanwhile, stands away from the others with the one-armed Knight. Mercy looks at him. "As servants, who obey the King without question, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael walks from below deck in her tribal outfit, though she looks half-asleep still so her top is slanted a bit to show a bit of one nipple. The sailors peer at her with cat whistles
<Kit> <Azhren> That's the idea, if you boil it to its base, I guess.
<Kaelan> * Seth steps out onto the deck and stretches, he yawns sleepily and pulls his hood over his head.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> And since gods made us and the world, even Kings obey them, right?
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, moving to adjust Rachael.
<Kit> <Azhren> So they say.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then giggles.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> So, are we doing wrong helping the Angel? Shouldn't we tell the gods?
<Kit> <Azhren> Maybe. Maybe not.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Which is it? Maybe, or not?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We're not in the bath yet, Zeal. 6* She says sleepily. "I wish we had abath. I want one so bad...":
<Kit> <Azhren> I can't say if we're doing wrong-- but I don't have to explain that they tried to kill us before sorting out who was guilty or innocent.
* Kaelan reaches over and puts her arm around Jean, watching the water as well. "Catch a big fish okay?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Th-There are others here. You cannot just walk about with a breast out!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Kaelan, then jerks as the rod jerks and begins to fall as something tugs it; she scrambles to try to get it
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Hm. But once we land ,we could separate ourselves and speak to the gods. It is our duty, isn't it?
<Kit> <Azhren> My duty is to you.
* Kaelan eeps and holds onto her as she does to make sure she doesn't go overboard.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I was...? Oh. 6* She blinks. "Sorry."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Isn't your duty to the King?
<Kit> <Zeal> Think nothing of it, lady Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds onto the rod, then squeals louder as whatever it is tugs her again and she begins to get drawn form Kaelan's grasp. Rachael peers over, gaping
<Kit> <Azhren> The king is dead. And now I'm a vagrant. I was charged with watching you and you still live. I should be thankful I still serve a purpose.
* Kaelan blinks and holds on tighter. "S-Someone grab me!"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> King Arcane isn't dead. 6* She notes.
<Kit> 6Zeal blinks and tugs Rachael over to help the two stay aboard
<Kit> <Azhren> King Arcane was not my sire.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael holds onto Kaelan. "W-What is going on?"
<Kaelan> "She caught something big!"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks at Azhren oddly, then peers out at the water, saying nothing more
<Kaelan> "And I can only hold onto one thing at the moment... heh."
<Kit> 6Azhren peers off to the side, rubbing his head with his one hand. 1"My family served the king-- he did less than two weeks ago, you recall."
<Kit> <Azhren> I was thinking of finding another lot in life."
<Kit> 6Azhren shrugs. 1"Yet, this is all I know. So I couldn't do it in the end. Took fate to rip me away from that place. Heh."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean tugs, and tugs, and suddenly she pulls up a giant squid like monster. It reaches out and grabs Jean with a slimely tentacle and tries to pull her over
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I see. I still plan to return to King Arcane when I can do so . I am his servant until he has no use for me
<Kit> 6Zeal makes a face and then steadies her expressing, reaching over to grab Kaelan's sword from her and shifts, swinging it around at the squid
* Kaelan holds onto her stubbornly. Seth eyes the monster and grabs his bow, he takes aim and fires an arrow at the tentacle.
<Kit> <Azhren> I can't let you do that, my lady.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks at him blankly
<Kit> <Azhren> Branded as you are, surely the king or his advisers would find no use for you sooner than later.
<DeathStar> 6* The tentacle is chopped off and blackness squirts about. More tentacles reach out to grip he side of ship and for the others. Rachael makes a noise
<Kaelan> * Seth notches another arrow to his bow and fires an arrow at the monsters head, or whatever seems to serve as one.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> If that is what my sire decides.
<DeathStar> 6* The squid makes a squishy sound at the arrow hitting it. Jean keeps tugging at the rod. "Going to catch you!"
<Kit> 6Zeal eyes it reaching for her and steps to the side, looking urgently as it reaches for Rachael and Kaelan, she reaches to the railing, stepping up onto it and then leaps, bringing the sword downward in a stab for the main body and head. 1"Hraaah!"
<DeathStar> 6* Soma pokes his head out of Zeal's boobs to mewl at the squid, then hides when a tentacle reaches out for him; it ends up fondling Zeal instead
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "J-Jean?" *she holds onto her, supporting her*
<DeathStar> 6* The sword enters the head of the squid with a squishy sound as Zeal lands on it from the leap. The squid jerks, the tentacles loosing and letting go
<Kaelan> * Seth sighs and fits another arrow to his bow, he fires for the tentacle reaching for Zeal. "Hey! Hands off our ladies!"
<Kit> 6Zeal goes down with the squid, screaming and hacking at it.
<Kaelan> "Z-Zeal!"
<DeathStar> 6 *Rachael jerks, peering over. "ZEAL!!!!"
<Kaelan> * Seth moves over to get a better shot, firing arrows into it's other side so as not to hit the crazed templar.
<DeathStar> 6* She moves to try to follow, even as the tentacle begins to sink from the hacks, but Jean tugs, and begins to lift them up again. Rachael pauses as Jean brings the squid up and over onto the deck. It lays there, dead, from the stabs. Jean wobbles, then falls over
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stares incredulously at Zeal, and Jean, then at the dead squid
<Kaelan> "I-I... can we even eat it?"
<DeathStar> 6* 50 gold falls out of it's mouth
<Kaelan> "Well we can certainly buy dinner now."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's epic rod stands erect in victory
<Kit> 6Zeal makes a noise, slipping on some slime and topples to the deck, heaving as she drops Kaelan's sword
<DeathStar> 6* The sailors murmur about the group
* Kaelan sets Jean down to sit, "You overdid it sweetie."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael hurries over to Zeal. Soma leans out and merowls fiercely at the squid, as if he did the work, then jerks as a tentacle twitches. Rachael leans over to pick up Zeal. "Z-Zeal, you're crazy!" 6* She murmurs in wonder
<Kit> <Zeal> Wh-What kind of thanks is... th-that?" 6She huffs.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Damn, I have to give you the credit Zeal, that was amazing."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a giant tentacle rises from the water, and towers over the boat. Jean whines from the deck, then looks up. "Another one to catch!"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy turns to eye the giant tentacle towering in the air as a bigger squid emerges
<Kaelan> Seth> "I think we found it's momma."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael goes to say something when she notices the shadow the tentacle casts.
<Kit> <Zeal> M-My bow.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan grabs her sword and sheathes it, then looks up at it.
<DeathStar> 6* The tentacle moves out and wraps around Rachael, and lifts her up into the air
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks. "Rachael!" 6* She tries to get up, but weakly falls again
<Kaelan> * Seth grunts and aims his bow, he fires it at the tentacle, further down it away from Rachael.
<Kit> <Zeal> U-um...
<DeathStar> 6* The squid shakes Rachael about, making her top fall off again, then reaches toward it's mouth to eat her
<DeathStar> <Mercy> ... B-By the gods. 6* She mumbles
<Kaelan> * Kaelan draws her sword again as she runs along the deck, she tries to get close enough to slash at the tentacle.
<DeathStar> 6* Teh sailors run about screaming; some get arrows ready, while the captain orders men to face it valiently
<Kit> 6Zeal panics, looking for her bow, when Azhren runs by her-- and Kaelan, performing the same move Zeal did but aiming for the tendril that has Rachael with his broadsword over his head.
<DeathStar> 6* The tentacle isn't near the deck to be slashed. However, when Azhren leaps off to try to be cool like Zeal, he sails through and cuts into the tentacle, his sword gets lodged into it and stuck
<Kaelan> * Seth looks at the big mouth, he readies anotehr arrow and fires it at the beast's mouth.
<Kit> 5Azhren strains, happy with that and tries to yank himself up onto the tentacle with his one strong arm left.
<DeathStar> 6* The squid makes a noise and shakes it's tentacle now in pain, making Azhren whip back and forth. The arrow enters the mouth and the squid makes a noise of pain
<DeathStar> 6* The squid is blinded by Azhren's color and he manages to one arm climb for a moment
<Kit> <Azhren> Confounded thing.." 6He tries to steady himself and yank the sword out to quickly make another hack at it
<DeathStar> 6* AS Azhren yanks out the sword, he's fall before he hacks int oit again, losing distance
<Kaelan> Seth> "Eat some of these you wet beastie!" *he fits another arrow and fires at it's eye*
<Kit> 6Zeal emerges back on the deck with her bow, a proud maid, heading for the level above the captain's cabin for a better vantage
<DeathStar> 6* The squid is hit in the eye, and howls; another tentacle swnigs down at Seth
<Kaelan> * Seth yelps out and leaps out of the way of the tentacle, rolling a bit along the deck.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael strains to try to free herself, while Jean gets to her feet finally, and holds up her hadn to do a flash and blind the squid. It makes a noise, and drops Rachael, who plummets for the water
<Kit> 6Azhren makes a face, squinting as he drops, aiming for anything he can get close to just to impale with the sword for leverage
<DeathStar> 6* The tentacle hits the deck and breaks wood and shake the boat
<Kaelan> * Kaelan keeps her sword ready and swings it down to slice at the tentacle that comes down.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's sword slices into it and gets stuck in the gooy, rubbery flesh
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael begins to fall past Azhren
* Kaelan grunts and holds onto the handle, trying to pull it out.
<DeathStar> 6* The tentacle lifts as Kaelan holds on and she begins to dangle in the sky
<Kit> 6Zeal braces herself above the cabin, poising three arrows and waits for the other eye to become visible, releasing
<Kit> <Azhren> Halfling!" 6He shouts, dangling from his sword, trying to swing his body and legs out toward her
<DeathStar> 6* The squid makes noises again as it's hit and whips it's tentacles about; Kaelan is thrashed about, her good arm being yanked out of socket.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks as she wraps her legs around him gracefully, dangling upside down from him. She looks up, then squeaks when their tentacle thrashe sin pain. One thrash puts them over teh deck
<Kaelan> * Kaelan cries out and lets go of her sword when the pain starts.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan falls into Jean's arms, but Jean topples over onto the deck with a grunt of pain.
<Kaelan> * Seth readies another arrow and fires at the beasts eye again. "Come on sailors! Join or swim, your choice!"
<Kit> 6Azhren grunts, then lifts one leg and kicks hard against the tentacle trying to fell them back upon the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael yanks with her legs once they're over the deck and pulls Azhren with her so they fall onto the deck; Rachael somehow manages to land on him and lays there on top of him. "T-Thanks!"
<Kit> 6Azhren grunts, nodding-- trying to shrug off dizziness
<DeathStar> 6* The sailors are arleady using weapons to strike the squid, but they seem to be bad shots. The squid finally begins to wrap a tentacle around the boat itself, about to crush it in half. A small hole is visible on it's forehead, like a scab of sorts
<Kaelan> * Seth takes aim again, he steadies himself before taking a shot at the scab.
<DeathStar> 6* Seth misses it. Completely.
<Kit> 6Zeal snerks, taking aim for it immediately and pulls the string as far as the composites let her, kneeling to steady herself, letting Seth fire first so they don't have the ridiculously low odds of hitting one another.
<DeathStar> 6* The squid's tentacle begins to tighten around the ship. Rachael gets to her feet and eyes it
<Kaelan> Seth> "I really need to practice more."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean groans in pain from the deck, mumbling about catching the fish and eating it
<Kit> <Azhren> What a woman.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> H-Huh?
<Kaelan> * Kaelan moves to get off jean and whimpers.
<Kit> 6Azhren scrambles to get up. 1"That Al'ryl of yours. She is still concerned with food.." 6He glances around for Mercy
<DeathStar> 6* When Zeal does fire after Seth, her shot, due to her max stats, strikes the scab and goes through it into it's brain. The squid jerks and thrashes, making the boat shake side to side. Mercy makes a noise and topples over the side
<DeathStar> 6* The squid then stops shaking the boat and falls against it, so it's giant head is on the deck; it smells of decay and 200 gold falls out of it's mouth. Rachael gapes.
<Kaelan> * Seth grunts and drops his bow, running and leaping after her to grab her.
<Kit> 6Azhren jerks, running for her, having already been looking, gazing around for any of the cabling around to grab and wrap around his arm, pausing at Seth flying back and peers over
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy hits the water before Seth, due to distane, and then Seth goes in; Seth immediately begins to, well, drown
<DeathStar> 6* Azhren would notice some rope to the side, however.
<Kit> 6Zeal walks down to the deck sniffing. 1"Did this maid earn her pay?"
<Kaelan> * Seth splutters and tries to get to the surface.
<Kit> 6Azhren tosses the rope over, anchoring it with himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael gathers the 250 gold, pausing, then offers 100 to Zeal
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy grabs the rope, drenched and shivering, then eyes Seth spluttering nearby and grabs him with an arm and gets his hands around the rope
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "H-Hey Zeal... a little help...? Shoulder dislocated... I think."
<Kit> <Zeal> Keep it. It is all of our's, after all." 6She blinks. 1"Be right there.."
<Kit> 6Zeal trots to Kaelan
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sits up in pain, bleeding from her nose, then eyes the squid in delight. "Jean caught fish! Will Rachael and Mercy cook it?"
<Kaelan> * Seth grins weakly and grabs the rope. "Oh hey... you came in for a swim too?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pockets it, then hurries to Azhren t osee if he needs help
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy just shivers in response, holding the rope like a drenched cat
<DeathStar> 6* The sailors poke it and murmur about women being bad luck
<Kit> 6Azhren nods to Rachael. 1"Wasn't sure how to... tie, so I just ... held it." 6He strains, then starts to move forward like a pack mule to pull them back up.
<Kit> 6Zeal peers over eerily at the sailors.
<Kaelan> * Seth wraps the rope around his arm and holds on tight, putting an arm around Mercy, to be all manly.
<Kit> <Zeal> Excuse me? Who was it that saved you again..? A woman, perhaps..?" 6She smiles. Pollitely.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael helps as best she can; after a bit, they get the two back on deck. Mercy shivers, but doesn't take off her wet maid outfit
<DeathStar> 6* The sailors jerk, then hurry to inspect the damage. Some say they should push the squid back in the water, but then eye Jean tear up and claim they have to eat it now that they killed it
<Kit> 6Zeal kneels and checks Kaelan. 1"Oh. This will hurt but bear with it. Five. Four. Thr--" 6She slams Kaelan's shoulder against the deck to reposition it properly without warning.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan groans and shudders a bit. "A-Aren't you supposed to count to one...?" *she manages to squeak out after breathing hard*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean makes the sailors leave the squid alone, then proudly sits by it
<Kaelan> * Seth does his best to hide his shivering. "Let's at least get you somewhere warm to dry, Mercy."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael helps Mercy up. "We need to get you changed. Come on."
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "G-Good catch Jean."
<Kit> 6Azhren averts his eyes from the wet maid.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes Seth to warn him not to follow, and then leads her off. Jean smiles at Kaelan; then promptly passes out, her face planting against the squid
<Kaelan> * Seth nods to Rachael and stands up, looking at Azhen. "Thanks pal."
* Kaelan has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Kit> <Zeal> If I did you would only anticipate pain." 6Zeal walks to the sailors now that Jean's unconscious and has them help her deposit it back into the sea so they don't sink and helps coordinate repairs-- and uses her hatchet to hack some of the tentacles off the 'smaller' one, before shoving it over, too.
* Kaelan has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kaelan
<Kit> 6Zeal claims the tendrils will be grilled for dinner.
<Kit> <Azhren> Don't mention it, hunter.
<DeathStar> -MINI TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Jean, awake again, peers at the cooked tentacles with a frown. "... this is all that was left after cooking?" 6* She asks dubiously. Mercy, who is cooking, has a scowl, as she's wearing one of Rachael's tribal outfits, her red hair in a ponytail
<Kit> <Zeal> W-Would it make you happy if we switched, lady Mercy?
<DeathStar> 6* Carly looks at some of Kaelan's wounds like they were dinner
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I would not force my lady to wear this.
<Kit> <Azhren> Are you that bothered to waste some of that squid, miss?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, wondering if she got snubbed somehow
<Kaelan> * Kaelan frowns a bit. "Some animals do end up producing very little that's cookable..."
<Kit> <Zeal> There is no shame is wearing my sister's clothing, lady Mercy, if this makes you more comfortable.
<DeathStar> <Jean> If you kill something, it is proper ot eat it all. So it's life was not wasted. 6* One sailor makes a crack does that apply to humans. Jean pauses thoughtfully
<Kit> <Azhren> Hm. If that's the case, miss, then rest assured. The creatures of the sea will not waste what we left.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I will switch outfits if my lady desires. 6* Some of the sailors look sad at the idea of Mercy getting out of the clothes, but then one points out Zeal's boobs will look ebtter in such a getup
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mm, okay!
<Kit> 6Azhren nods, satisfied at assisting in this. Zeal pauses, looking skiddish, but takes Mercy's hand and leads her out of the galley.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "It's a well earned meal at least... wish I'd done better."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy follows along to follow Zeal
<Kaelan> Seth> "Two more big ones to put on the record... my score's going to look nice."
<Kit> <Azhren> I thought you missed...
<DeathStar> <Jean> Big ones? Record?
<Kaelan> Seth> "I'm a Hunter, we record our kills so we can show how good we are. That way we get given well paying missions."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mm. Seems mean.
<Kaelan> Seth> *looks hurt* "You know I only fight bad monsters."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean think it mean to have to show records and show it is 'good'. Not saying Seth is mean
<Kaelan> Seth> "I suppose it could be, but it's an excellent way of making sure people without a lot of experience don't get sent to fight powerful monsters."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean ponders that.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Maybe Jean should be a Hunter to protet people.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Mmm, well I could take you on as an apprentice."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean stronger than Seth! Jean caught big fish
<Kaelan> Seth> "That you did, but new hunters have to be apprenticed by a liscenced one." *he winks* "I'd love a pretty girl like you to join the ranks."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan eyes Seth.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mmmm. Okay!
<Kaelan> Seth> "Alright, consider yourself apprenticed." *he grins winningly*
<Kit> 6Zeal returns in Rachael's spare outfit, tugging at it about her chest with concern
<Kit> <Azhren> The archer isn't going to like this...
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy follows along in the maid outfit, having watched eerily closely during the changing
<Kit> <Zeal> Huh? Like what?
<Kaelan> * Kaelan looks up and blinks. "...Looking cute, Zeal."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Zeal, and beams. "It looks good on you.," 6* She rises up beside Zeal and hugs her, then compares their chests. "You wear it better than me, too."
<Kit> 6Zeal whimpers. 1"It's... a little tight..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael considers, then reaches around to loosen it slightly
<Kit> <Zeal> Ah! --It can be loosened?" 6She blinks back.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes, but it might slip off a bit easier, so becareful
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at them. "I want to wear one, too!!!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean begins to pull her clothes off until she's in her silk bra and underwear
<DeathStar> 6* Some sailors choke on their tentacle
<Kaelan> * Kaelan shifts and blocks the view with her cloak.
<Kaelan> Seth> "I must behave..." *he repeats in a mantra, looking away*
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Al'ryl! Dress at once!
<DeathStar> <Jean> I must behave. 6* She chimes playfully. Then jerks and looks at Zeal sulkily. "But I'm just wearing what you're wearing."
<DeathStar> 6* Though some of Jean's silk is seethroughish
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, peering to the side and fidgeting now, her face red and obviously considering what she might use as more clothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles at Zeal being back in control of things, at least with Jean
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "It's... showier, Jean... we'll get you something like it silly."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes, Jean; Zeal's clothing is more modest than undergarments
<Kit> 6Zeal glares eerily at Kaelan
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sighs, but gets dressed.
* Kaelan looks back, then eyes her up and down pointedly.
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, grabbing onto Rachael
<Kit> <Zeal> I cannot even intimidate Kael in this!" 6She whines.
<Kaelan> "We'll get you something intimidating too."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles and pats Zeal. "Jean, can you take off that cloak?" 6* Jean pauses, removnig the hood and cloak from her black outfit, and holds it out. Rachael takes it and puts it on Zeal
<DeathStar> <Rachael> There. I guess I'll be the only one with "no modesty" 6* She notes. "Being the dirty halfling."
* Kaelan frowns.
<Kit> 6Zeal pauses, then puts the cloak on Rachael, hanging her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles. "I'm joking."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael puts it back on Zeal
<Kit> 6Zeal ties it into a makeshift wrap skirt.
<Kaelan> "Okay..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Besides, I prefer wearing this.
<DeathStar> 6* She stretches
<Kit> 6Zeal scratches her cheek looking worn out suddenly.
<Kaelan> * Seth keeps whispering his mantra.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael kisses Zeal's cheek
<DeathStar> <Jean> So Jean can get outfit like that later? Kaelan promise?
<Kit> 6Zeal peers at Rachael, jerking a little, then frowns over at Kaelan
<Kaelan> "I'll get one too." *she nods* "We can all match."
<DeathStar> 6* Carly walks over - having stripped naked and sits down
<Kaelan> * Seth covers his ears and chants.
<Kaelan> Seth> "F-Fresh air! That's what I need!" *he gets up and heads for saftey... or the deck*
<DeathStar> <Carly> Mmmm, I bet his blood is tasty right now
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, gaping. 1"C-C-... C-CARLY!"
* Kaelan shrugs. "The way I see it, if we're fine with one person wearing something, why should it be any different for another to wear the same."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Yes, Zeal? 6* She spreads her legs a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shakes her head at Carly, while Jean stares, then sulks. <Jean> Why can't Jean wear undergarments if Carly can be naked?
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks peering away. 1"Carly! S-Stop that, this instant!!"
<DeathStar> 6* Carly cackles a bit
<Kaelan> "Take one look at Zeal."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes a look, then cries out in pain, grabbing her eye as she recoils, shivering and whimpering
<DeathStar> <Rachael> J-Jean, that's rather mean. 6* She mumbles, but then eyes Jean still making noises of pain
* Kaelan shifts to sit down next to Jean. "If anything, just so she doesn't get upset. But... J-Jean!?"
* Kaelan looks at her in concern. "Jean? What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Something happened to Dahok. 6* She mumbles over and over, looking ill and pale.
<Kit> 6Zeal looks over, staring wide-eyed.
<Kit> <Zeal> Wh-What..?
* Kaelan looks momentarily confused, then pulls her close. "Jean... come let's go lay down."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks grim. Jean is pulled along and she keeps mumbling something Dahok 'being changed'
* Kaelan brings her to the cabin to rest. "Jean... we'll find him."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 'Changed'? 6* She asks Zeal after Jean is gone. "Do you think---Harbinger did to him what he did to Kaelan?"
<Kit> 6Zeal looks to Rachael. 1"... Likely.."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... I wonder if Jean can save him. I know helping Kaelan hurt her a lot....
<DeathStar> 6* Jean lays on the bed, holding her head in pain still and shivering. "Want Nephy to sing to me..." 6* She mumbles.
<Kit> <Zeal> She will. Regardless of what we say, will she not?" 6She looks troubled and pained.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. She will.
<Kaelan> "I... can try, she's not here right now." *she sits down on the bed and gently rubs Jean's head*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods a few times.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael hugs Zeal close, sighing. "I wonder if that means we'll find him on the island we're going to."
<Kit> <Zeal> Very likely..
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shivers. "Zeal, if Harbinger ever catches me and turns me... don't let me hurt any of you. Promise?"
* Kaelan takes a breath and starts to sing a lullabye that her mother used to sing to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean relaxes a bit after a while, resting against Kaelan. She drifts off to sleep, though she mumbles something about 'mom'
<Kit> <Zeal> D-Do not speak that way..
<Kaelan> * Kaelan lays down with her and puts an arm around her, the one she can, she closes her eyes. "Yeah... want mine too."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 4.29.2389
<DeathStar> Location: Nuege
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas slows the horse down and peers at the city.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> The Lightstone is in some ruins beneath the castle. We'll have to sneak in
<Kit> <Nephilim> So..." 6She fidgets, holding onto Thomas. 1"We're here."
<Kit> <Nephilim> Oh! Beneath it? No problem. I know the way.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Really? Then I will follow your lead once we're inside. 6* He nods, moving the horse down to the city gate, and prays the church hasn't sent word here as he rides past the guards with his Templar uniform on; they eye him, but say nothing more
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I wish we had time to get some documents from the church, but I fear we should get to the others as soon as possible
<Kit> <Nephilim> I already peeked. Didn't find anything interesting-- but you know stuff I don't, obviously." 6She eyes him, leaning around to peer up.
<Kit> <Nephilim> This means you made your choice, right?
<DeathStar> 6* People move about the ice city and it's your typical evening crowd, with people and body odors mixed together, though the cold makes it less unbearable than other places. He rides a bit, then looks to her. "My choice?"
<Kit> <Nephilim> Zeal's prettier than old dusty church files, huh? So you want to be with her instead?" 6She grins playfully.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas face reddens with embarrassment. "I have decided to travel with her as long as I can do so. I must see with my own eyes what is truth about the angel, and act on what is before me, not what is told to me. Plus... I have some information they will need to know. About prophecies to come.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks grim
<Kit> <Nephilim> Ehhh. You two are a lot alike. In fact, if you were a woman, I bet..." 6She eyes her nails.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> If the third prophecy of Nuege comes true on that island, it is likely other prophecies will happen as well. 6* He doesn't seem to think about the last one being the angel ends the world
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... A woman...?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers at her oddly
<Kit> <Nephilim> I wouldn't be surprised if you'd been named Zeal.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas pauses, then looks flustered, but rides them on. "Come, LAdy Nephilim, we should hurry."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 4.29.2389 - Morningish Here -
<DeathStar> Location: The Angel Boat
<DeathStar> 6* The sailors comment that will probably reach the island that night or early morning. Jean is at the side of the ship with her fishing rod
* Kaelan looks out at the water thoughtfully. "...I should probably get off the ship before it reaches port."
<Kit> <Zeal> Get off where?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Don't let Jean hear yo usay that. 6* She chides behind Kaelan
* Kaelan sighs and rubs the back of her head. "On another boat or something... I'm a beacon to Harbinger."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Kaelan!
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael's tone is sterner than normal
* Kaelan blinks and looks around at her. "...I..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Do you seriously want to break Jean's heart more ? You decided to stick by her ,you can't just decide to go now. You made yourself part of her life. She needs you
<Kit> 6Zeal blinks at Rachael. 1"I-- know you do not wish to harm lady Al'ryl further, but... what she says is not incorrect.."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Face it. If we're going to seriously talk about leaving, we should have left when the other Angel told us to go. We can't leave now. Jean loves us, I can tell. Even if it means getting hurt physically, she'd rather that than be hurt with her heart.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 6* She looks at the sea.
<Kaelan> "...Alright."
* Kaelan sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks over at where JEan is at, then the ocena again.
<Kaelan> "I don't know if he's going to be waiting for us at the docks or not." *she looks down at her chest, where the mark is* "I'm kinda hoping Jean did something to prevent that. She must have seen the danger too."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We can only have faith. Now, Jean has been looking sad since last night, so we should do something to cheer her up. Ideas?
<Kaelan> "Can either of you sing?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Rachael you...
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks at Zeal. "Hm, yes?"
<Kit> <Zeal> It has been a while since you voiced yourself so
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, then looks embarrassed. "I---"
<Kaelan> "I like it when Rachael's strong willed."
<Kit> 6Zeal smiles. 1"Yes... me too.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> W-Well you were strong willed last night, Zeal, by not letting Jean get naked. I like that. 6* She notes.
<Kaelan> "We should all show a bit more willpower."
<Kit> <Zeal> Mm.. Even if I wanted to... it seems I just do not suit the role of a maid. I should live up to my calling, I suppose.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Nonsense. You can be gentle and strong willed. 6* She smiles
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I like it when you're more feminine, too.
<Kit> <Zeal> I-- was not before?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You were more... Knightly
<Kaelan> "You're strong of will, I saw it when you fought in the wastelands. Why do you think I look up to you so much Zeal?"
<Kit> <Zeal> ... I do not know, honestly.
<Kaelan> "I grew up wanting to be strong, I thought it'd make the... I thought it'd make me better. Then when Mom died and you saved Dad and me... I saw this strong person, willing to go out of her way for others."
<Kit> <Zeal> It was my duty. Nothing more, Kael.
<Kaelan> * Seth walks up to Jean and looks at the water. "Trying to outdo yesterday?"
<Kaelan> "Nonsense. I wanted to be just like you."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, peering up; her face looks less veiny and less pale, but she still seems tired. "Do you remember your parents, Mr. Seth?"
<Kaelan> * Seth smiles a little. "Not really, they died when I was very young."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean...think she remembers.... nice women... singing and holding Jean... but can't remember..father. Maybe Jean not have parents....
<Kaelan> Seth> "Everyone has parents." *he smiles reassuringly*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down. "What if Jean doesn't? Is she a monster?"
<Kit> <Zeal> As I have always said... you should strive to better yourself, not become someone else..
<Kit> 6Zeal rubs her neck. 1"...Where is Carly gone to, now..?"
<Kaelan> Seth> "Nonsense. I've met plenty of monsters, you're far too pretty to be one. And as I said, we all have parents, we all come from somewhere."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm not sure. But I think Seth is hitting on Jean
* Kaelan smiles. "I was using the past tense... I try to be a better me now."
<DeathStar> <Jean> MAybe Jean a really pretty monster?
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, turning to lock onto Seth.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean gives him a smile
<Kaelan> Seth> "I'd never slay you. But no, you look quite human to me." *he smiles back*
<Kit> 6Zeal walks quickly toward Seth as she gets the whistling reticle
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I almost feel sorry for the man, almost. At least he stopped leering at us."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs Seth, then pauses to peer at Zeal
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal want to join hug?
<Kit> <Zeal> Sir Seth! Chase another tail!!
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles slightly. Jean pauses. <Jean> Tail?
<Kaelan> * Seth hugs back, then looks back sensing evil. "I'm not chasing anything with a tail."
<Kit> <Zeal> Make yourself useful as Carly's food or something!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Seth likes tails, too?! 6* She looks at Seth
<DeathStar> <Jean> Soma has a pretty tail!
<Kaelan> Seth> "That he does. That he does."
<Kit> 6Zeal pauses, then looks apalled. 1"Y-You..."
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Why do I think Zeal's attempts are backfiring again?"
<Kit> <Zeal> S-S... Soma!" 6She wails.
<DeathStar> 6* Soma pokes his head out of her boobs
<Kit> 6Zeal folds her arms protectively around him away from Seth
<Kit> <Zeal> Y-You fiend!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused
<Kaelan> * Seth peers up over her head. "Fiend? What'd I do now?"
<Kit> <Zeal> You will have Soma's tail over my dead body, hunter!
<Kaelan> Seth> "I... never said I'd take it. He's a good monster."
<DeathStar> <Soma> Mewwll!
<Kit> <Zeal> He is not a monster!
<DeathStar> <Jean> He's a cutie!
<Kaelan> Seth> "...He appears to be a tigroar to me, albeit a good looking one."
<Kit> 6Zeal sniffs, cuddling him as she kneels. 1"He is my adorable little kitten."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Alright, alright, keep your skirt on."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles. "Zeal's so feminine when it comes to cute animals."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Even Mercy likes petting Soma!
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Give her a stuffed animal sometime."
<Kit> 6Zeal glares at Seth, still in a fur bikini. 1"Skirt? Is that supposed to be funny..!?"
<Kaelan> Seth> "...Yes?"
<Kit> 6Zeal stares silently, then gets up quietly and walks off, emanating death.
<Kaelan> Seth> "...I didn't try to upset the girl, honest."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shivers
<Kaelan> Seth> "How does one melt that heart of ice?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Give hug?
<Kit> 6Azhren gazes over as Zeal heads below decks laughing creepily in a soft voice. Then peers at part of his shoulder armor shatter without warning and hmms.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Would she let me keep my arms?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stares a moment.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-- ... ....
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Wow, Zeal's knid of ... scary.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Now you all know why I choose to go quiet when she gets angry."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mmmm, maybe!
<Kit> <Azhren> ...Lady Mercy, what is for breakfast?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Mmmm. I wouldn't suggest tigoar
<Kaelan> Seth> "I'll go talk to her, try to smooth things over." *he nods and moves below decks to his doom*
<Kit> <Azhren> More fish?" 6He overcasts.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Fish

Session Ident: #TAW-Medieval
<Sera> * Seth stands on the deck of the ship, looking out over the waves, deep in thought.
<Kit> 6Zeal sits near the bow, apparently not all that unliking of the breeze across her face and skin-- dressed down to the corsetted gown worn below the maid outfit she matches to Mercy. In her hands are pieces of the rest of the uniform, her knife, and a needle and thread.
<Sera> * Seth steps over to her, looking her over. "Needlework on the high seas is it?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Not idea, I know, but I will manage.
<Kit> NRP: ideal*
<Sera> Seth> "Need any help with that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael dances up and hugs Zeal from behind, then peers wat she she's doing
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, nearly tossing her work with a start, then blinks at Rachael. 1"M-Morning, lady Rachael."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hi. You can sow?
<Sera> Seth> "Ah, hello Rachael."
<Kit> <Zeal> I-- might not be an expert exactly, but yes. One with a penchant for fine clothing such as myself cannot make by without at least a hobbyist level. Especially to make adjustments and repairs to clothing above the common knowledge.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods to Seth, glancing at Zeal curiously. "I never could sow."
<Sera> Seth> "Useful to pick up some basic sewwing, us street rats learn that fast."
<Kit> <Zeal> I could teach you a little?" 6She bites thread away, eyeing what she's accomplished thus far.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods and sits obediently to learn.
<Sera> * Kaelan sits nearby Jean, she peers down at herself quietly in thought.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean fishes
<Sera> * Kaelan looks up, then down at the water. "Certainly enjoying your fishing."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I want to catch a water-dog and make it a pet.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Don't they need to be in the water like fish?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean points at a big bucket
<Sera> * Kaelan> "How... would we move it about?" *she peers at Jean and pulls some of Jean's hair gently behind her ear, looking over her condition*
<DeathStar> 6* Her ear twitches a bit, as she thinks, but only a moment. "Oh."
<DeathStar> 6* She still seems weak, but recovering
<Sera> Kaelan> "I'm sure we can try to make friends with them though, by giving them more fish." *she smiles softly*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods
<Sera> Kaelan> "Mmm... though I'm sure we can find more creatures to make pets once we're on land again." *she looks at the water, almost warily*
<Kit> <Zeal> Please do not try to make Soma feel replaced!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down. "Wasn't trying to replace Soma...." 6* She murmurs sadly
<DeathStar> <Soma> Mew... 6* He hangs on the sailing mast
* Retrieving #TAW-Medieval modes...
<Sera> * Kaelan sighs and kisses Jean's cheek. "Of course you weren't."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks up at Soma at the top of the mast ans gasps
<Sera> * Seth looks up and stares. "How did... he..."
<Kit> 6Zeal stands after a bid, having adjusted the maid outfit to fit her more accommodatingly, removed the shoulders from it and lowered the neckline closer to the corsette, slide the skirts on either side up to the hip and layered them perhaps in a more risque manner-- keeping the stockings and having made fingerless gloves from the sleeves, ending them just above the elbow.
<Kit> <Zeal> Finished.
<Sera> Seth> "Ummm, Zeal, hate to interrupt but... Soma." *points up*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Soma is look out!
<Sera> Kaelan> "L-Lookout...?"
<Kit> 6Zeal stares, gaping. 1"S-Soma!!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods proudly, while Rachael looks pale
<Sera> Seth> "Shouldn't we... get him down?"
<DeathStar> 6* Soma walks along a narrow beam along the mast, precariously moving side to side when wind blows
<Sera> Kaelan> "S-So high..."
<Kit> <Zeal> SoooMA!
<DeathStar> 6* Soma peers over the side at them, his tail swishing like a cat
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I can climb it and get him
<Kit> <Zeal> Nonsense, lady Rachael. It is too high.
<Sera> Seth> "Mmm..." *he grimmaces*
<Sera> Kaelan> "We could make Seth do it."
<Sera> Seth> "I--- I'm not the greatest climber."
<Kit> <Zeal> You would make us ladies?
<Sera> * Seth frowns, "I could... give it a try."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Our houses were in trees in Lenil. I'll be fine
<Kit> 6Zeal purses her lips and huffs in response.
<Sera> * Seth looks over at her. "I could... be ready to catch you?"
<Sera> Kaelan> "At least he's galant."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael swallows. "Just the trees at home didn't sway side to sway."
<Sera> Seth> "You'd be surprised how little trees one can find in downtown Navarro."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves to it, then begins to climb up the side and rope as best she can, slipping a bit now and again
<Sera> * Seth moves underneath, watching her, getting ready to catch her if she falls.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael reaches the top, and begins to try to crawl along the beam after Soma, who goes to the far, far edge. The boat rocks suddenly and Rachael falls with a shriek, then dangles upside down from wrapping her legs around it
<Kit> 6Zeal grabs her heart...
<Sera> * Seth scrambles, moving directly under. "You alright Rachael?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> F-Fine... 6* She makes a face. "I think my top is slipping though."
<Sera> Seth> "I'll valiantly rescue it if it falls."
<Sera> Kaelan> *groans*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael swings and grip/hugs the beam, then begins to work herself on the top.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael reaches Soma finally and pulls him into top/breasts, when a wind blows, and she begins to fall
<Sera> * Seth scrambles to get under them to catch them. "Whoops!"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael lands in his arms, peering at Seth with an embarrassed look. "T-Thanks."
<Sera> * Seth grins and sets her down. "Think nothin of it."
<Sera> * Kaelan hugs Jean a bit. "I think we should keep him around."
<DeathStar> <Jean> You think that because you play him, too.
<DeathStar> ( ;) )
<Kit> 6Zeal has fainted at the sight of Rachael dropping
<DeathStar> <Jean> He does seem nice.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then hurries over and shakes Zeal; Soma hops down and licks her face
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Zeal, wake up! Zeal!
<Sera> * Kaelan sighs and walks over to the two.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Will she be okay?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean walks over, eyes Zeal, then kisses her on the lips
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael's eyes buldge at Jean using tongue
<Sera> Kaelan> "No response. Oh Seth!"
<Sera> * Seth is suddenly next to them, inhumanely fast at the potential for female contact.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks at that, shifting to shield Zeal
<Sera> * Kaelan pouts. "I was hoping just the thought would bring her around."
<Sera> * Seth reels.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> J-Jean, stop kissing her like that!
* Kogitsune has joined #TAW-Medieval
* Chad-Bags-Grilling is now known as Chad`Winters
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, reflexively bringing her knife out in a fluid motion-- then recoils seeing Jean and tosses it accidentally, flailing.
<Seraphna> * Seth freezes in cold terror as the knife clips off some of his hair. "...I-I..."
* Sera|Work has joined #TAW-Medieval
* Sera has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Sera|Work is now known as Kaelan
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kaelan
* Seraphna has joined #TAW-Medieval
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
* Seraphna is now known as Sera-Awayness
* Sera-Awayness is now known as Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Jean ends the kiss. "Princess' kiss wakes up the princess!"
<Kit> <Zeal> P-Pr-- Princess..!?" 6She eyes Jean like she's lost it.
<Sera> * Kaelan giggles.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods happily. Rachael smiles. "I didn't realize you were royality, my highness."
<Kit> <Zeal> L-Lady Rachael... I never!
<Sera> Kaelan> "Princess Zeal, has a ring to it."
<DeathStar> <Soma> Mewl! 6* He looks like a dignified royal pet.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I do like how it sounds
<Kit> <Zeal> You all..." 6She sulks.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Does that make Soma a Royal Kitten?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Can Jean be Princess Jean, too? Best friends of Princess Zeal?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It does. 6* She pets Soma's head
<Sera> * Kaelan giggles a bit.
<Kit> <Zeal> Y-You can be a princess all you like. I-- I am not so..
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs Zeal to her. "Zeal is a princess in hiding so people don't find out and fall in love with her for who she is, not what she is."
<Sera> Kaelan> "Just like an old story."
<Kit> <Zeal> ...I am an ex-templar from the meadowlands. I am no princess.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sulks a bit. "Jean just wanted to play make-believe." 6* She sniffles
<Sera> Kaelan> "Who knows, maybe you were in Oas as an exiled princess in secret."
<Kit> <Zeal> Maybe you ruled the meadows with an iron fist.
<Sera> Kaelan> "I was a tiny warlord? You were older then me when we left." *she giggles*
<Kit> <Zeal> Hm... true enough..
<DeathStar> 6* Jean keeps sulking
<Sera> Kaelan> "So then it's settled, Zeal is a Princess for today, and Jean her princess friend."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Really?
<Sera> * Kaelan looks at Zeal.
<Kit> <Zeal> I--" 6She make sa face at Jean sulking. 1"..F-fine. Whatever. Just let me p-put my clothes on."
<Sera> Kaelan> "That's a yes in Zeal talk!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean beams and hugs Zeal tightly to herself. "Jean loves Zeal!"
<Sera> * Kaelan smiles and sits back. Seth walks away to look over the water again.
<Kit> <Zeal> I... I love you, too...
<Sera> * Kaelan turns a shade red.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles at the two. "Cute." 6* Jean lifts up Soma to put him on Zeal's shoulder, then skips away happily to fish
<Sera> Kaelan> "you've certainly got her happy, Zeal."
<Kit> <Zeal> It was not merely I..." 6She shakes her head, then shifts to sit and slip on the stockings and gloves she made and fit herself into the modified dress slit along the sides. 1"Ah.." 6She stands, hopping. 1"Much easier to move in."
<Sera> Kaelan> "Nice!"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You look pretty.
<Kit> <Zeal> I need Kael for the second project.
<Sera> Kaelan> "M-Me?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Indeed, you are still a smith are you not?
<Sera> Kaelan> "Yeah."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers side to side
<Kit> <Zeal> I wish to recreate some halfplate from some of the knight's armor.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Sure. Maybe if we have some scraps I can make some reinforcement for everyone too."
<Kit> 6Zeal flexes her fingers. 1"It was refreshing to do something ordinary for once like sewing. Perhaps you might find some peace in mundane task as well."
<Sera> Kaelan> "It would be nice to do something other then basic weapon maintenance."
<Kit> <Zeal> How about you, lady Rachael?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Me?
<Kit> <Zeal> Do you need anything made?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh, I do better when I wear less, so I guess I'm fine
<Kit> <Zeal> Do you have any talents as well?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh, me? I can ... well. Make baskets.
<Kit> <Zeal> Weave? Interesting...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-- well. It's necessary in Lenil.
<Kit> <Zeal> It would be necessary in the meadowlands as well.
<Sera> Kaelan> "I only know enough sewing to put underleather and cushioning on plate..."
<Kit> <Zeal> That is technically stitching, not sewing..
<Sera> Kaelan> "My point exactly."
<DeathStar> <RAchael> I would like to learn how to sow, though
<Kit> <Zeal> Hm..? Well, if you know how to weave it might not take you much.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll train hard, Princess. 6* She giggles
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pouts at the lack of reaction, then jerks when Jean screams
<Jen> * Kaelan blinks and peers over at Jean. "Jean!?"
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal peers aside from Rachael, jumping into a run at the scresm
<DeathStar> 6* Jean dangles from the side, her pole in one hand and her leg dangled up as she flails; below, a shark tugs on the pole
<Jen> * Seth rushes over and grabs her by the legs, pulling and grabbing her hips to bring her back down.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Eek! 6* She turns red at the touch to her hips, peering at Seth.
<Jen> * Seth sets her down. "Scuze me miss, all for the greater good."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at him, blushed, then down at his hands, then up again
<Jen> * Seth thinks a moment, then gently raises them up, as if trying to think of where to go. Kaelan coughs behind him, he freezes.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Seth have strong grip. Jean felt weird down below tummy for a moment!
<Jen> * Seth goes a bit red in the cheeks and looks away. "It's from... all the huntin."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes his hands curiously, peering them over
<Jen> * Seth lets her, peering down at them. "It's just my manly grip, I assure you."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Rachael, Zeal, and Kaelan's hands were soft. Your hands are like... Dahok's... 6* She murmurs. Then looks at him. "Can you lift Jean up again adn spin her around?!" 6* She asks like a child
<Jen> * Seth nods and eyes Kaelan, who watches him with the air of a protective sister. He leads her away from the railing. "Beter get some falling room."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kay!
<Jen> * Seth puts his hands on her waist, squeezing gently, and he turns, spinning her about as he rotates himself around. Kaelan watches guardedly.
* Jen is now known as Sera-Awayness
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<DeathStar> 6* Jean giggles as she's spun about, holding out her arms
<Seraphna> * Seth smiles, setting her down after three turns, looking if she wants to go again. "How's that?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Fun! 6* She nods happily, then stumbles a bit with a giggle
<Seraphna> * Seth smiles and catches her. "Whoa there, you're off balance."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, leaning against Seth a bit so her face is on his chest, and begins to turn a shade of embarrassed red. "I--- sorry. Jean klutzy."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Nonsense, anyone would be a little dizzy after being spun about."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks down.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean leans back, looking confused about something, then hurries off quickly for a cabin
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks a bit. "Jean...? Everything alright?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stands about in the captain's cabin, peering herself over thoughtfully
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves over, blinking, "Jean? Something wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Kaelan. "No!"
<Seraphna> "Wh-What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Nothing wrong! Nope! 6* She throws out a strange word
<Seraphna> * Kaelan raises a brow. "You seem to be acting funny. Maybe it's something I can help with?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> J-Jean fine.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head. She walks over and puts a hand to the girl's forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* She seems fine, despite the red flush; even the veins are almost not visible as her skin gets color back
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...Are you feeling funny when Seth touches you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks at that. Then hangs her head like she were a bad girl. "Felt flutters like when Dahok first helped Jean up." 6* She sounds guilty and miserible
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles and hugs her. "You silly girl. That's normal! Perfectly normal. You're attracted to boys is all. Seth's a boy."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at that, peering up. "But felt flutter for girls a few times. Thought that meant Jean really liked you, Zeal, Dahok, and Valen. But Jean not want to replace Dahok with someone else."
* Seraphna smiles. "You're not replacing anyone, you're simply liking another person. And it's... okay to like girls as much as guys." *she blushes faintly* "Seth is being very nice,it's only natural to like him."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Then Kaelan feels flutters for Seth like Dahok?
* Chad-Work is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> <Jean> Because Jean notice that when Kaelan looked at Dahok, her heart beat faster, eyes dialated, smelled of pheremones and something else.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan pauses, putting a finger to her lips. "He's attractive enough... I'll admit, I---" *she goes crimson, looking at Jean* "Y-You noticed all that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes. "I-I really liked Dahok..." *she sighs and smiles, hugging Jean* "Are you feeling that way for Seth?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mmmm, no! Jean doesn't smell funny when she looks at Seth
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... I've noticed that we often don't notice our own scents. Though... if you start dating him, I'll be watching to make sure he doesn't hurt you." *she waggles her finger*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Dating? Hurt me? 6* She looks confused. "His hands are strong, but not exactly hurt."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes, "I mean your feelings."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean oooohs, then nods. "I'll be watching to make sure he doesn't hurt you, either!" 6* She says seriously
<Seraphna> * Kaelan kisses her cheek. "You're a sweetheart." *she looks at the door* "Just be careful with him okay? I don't really understand men and how they think."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Men think differently?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits on the deck, going over the sowing needles thoughtfully
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I think they do. They certainly act different." *she sighs a bit*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mmmm. Maybe Jean stick with girls, then! So can think alike! 6* She says it so playfully it's hard to tell if she's serious.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles a little and hugs her. "That might be best for now... until we're sure of Seth and his intentions."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, then peers at Kaelan seriously. "Is Kaelan asking Jean on date?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes a little. "I-I... am I?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean considers then sniffs for pheromones
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and shifts about as though it might cover up what she's feeling.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mmmmm. 6* She taps her chin a bit, looking thoughtful.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks back at her a bit shyly. "I umm... I didn't ever really consider girls till... well..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses in her tapping to look at Kaelan curiously
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks away. "I have feelings for you, but I'm not sure if this is... well... if it's love in one way or another, you're important to me in either case."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks a few times, then smiles. "I love Kaelan, too. We're sisters!" 6* She nods knowingly, referring back to Kaelan considering them siblings
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and nods.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm certainly yours in any way." *she smiles, there's only a little hint of irony in the statement*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks. "Mine?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Your sister, friend, anything you'll have me as." *she smiles* "I realized when I said it there was a bit of irony since I'm marked."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Marked?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan taps her forehead. "Right, you wouldn't know yet. Better you know then you having to ask one of us down the road." *she looks around to ensure there aren't any peepers, then undoes her top a little to show off her mark*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, peering at the mark, and reaches out to touch it and run her fingers along it; she has a strange expression as she looks at it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mercy has it too." *she watches her reaction* "Your... other self put it on me when she healed me from my last set of injuries."
<DeathStar> <Jean> .... 6* She closes her eyes as she touches it, then blinks a bit, pulling her hand away.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks, "What...?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Huh? 6* She looks up, blinking,
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You just... pulled away. Something wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mmm. Jean just thought she could feel Kaelan's thoughts.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I wouldn't be surprised. I think there's an element of control added into it."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Like... if you concentrated you could send me thoughts or we could feel each other out... there was something mentioned about control too. We used one of these to find you when you were in trouble."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Control?
* Seraphna pauses and rubs her head. "It's complicated... and I think I might be mixing things up in my head." *she touches the mark* "Now that I think of it, this reminds me of something else."
<DeathStar> <Jean> What Kaelan mean control?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... if you can hear my thoughts through this... it should be possible to send me thoughts as well. You might be able to compel us to do things with it. At least, make us feel the need to do them. Not the same as control... is it?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She frowns, then touches the mark with both hands, squishing Kaelan's boobs and focuses, closing her eyes
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes and peers at her curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan would begin to feel a pain from the mark, and Jean winces in pain as well
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gasps a little from the pain. "A-Ahh..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's nose begins to bleed and the pain for both would increase a bit. It's almost feel to Kaelan like something was being servered
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grabs her, blinking as she grits her teeth. "J-Jean... s-stop!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks facially, but doesn't stop
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Y-You're bleeding... i-it's not... worth your blood..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stubbornly ignores her, though her grip isn't unbreakable
<Seraphna> * Kaelan shakily puts her hands over Jean's, "S-Something... is severing... i-it hurts... Jean..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> J-Jean heal af-fter done. 6* She promises through her own pain
<Seraphna> "Y-You're hurting... too... p-please don't make me stop you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean ignores her; the mark begins to vanish
<Seraphna> "Wh-What if we need that to stop th-the Harbinger's connection..." *she shakes from the pain*
<DeathStar> 6* The mark vanishes, only a red outline of it like she was sunburned, and Jean proceeds to collapse face down
<Seraphna> * Kaelan catches her, panting hard, she picks up Jean, frowning as she pulls her over to the bed. "Jean..."
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's pain would fade, leaving a dull headache; Jean, however, looks as bad as she did when the trip started
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Medieval
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Seraphna> * Kaelan lays her down and sits over her, looking guilty. "Jean... I should have stopped you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean doesn't respond, unconscious
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits by her side, unlikely to move until she does.
<DeathStar> <Jean> X.X
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs and lays next to her, holding her close while she rests.
<Kit> <Zeal> I did not think you so interested in needlework." 6She peers over Rachael's shoulder at them arranged.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I --- well. It would be lady like to learn. 6* She peers at the cabin suddenly, her ears twitching. "... I think I heard a commotion..."
<Seraphna> * Seth peers towards it as well.
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady-like." 6She blinks. 1"This is... lady-like..."
<Kit> 6Zeal peers toward the cabin.
<Seraphna> * Seth gets up. "Jean and Kaelan went in there, maybe I should check on them."
<Kit> <Zeal> Stay where you are."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Uhh, alright.":
<Kit> 6Zeal stands up and walks toward the cabin. 1"A commotion between two women-- as if a man should check." 6She sighs.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan lays quietly, a troubled look on her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows a bit and peers in after Zeal enters
<Kit> <Zeal> Is something wrong, you two?
<DeathStar> <Jean> X.X
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Jean... undid my mark. She drained herself pretty good." *she frowns and fixes Jean's hair a little*
<Kit> <Zeal> She..." 6She lets out a breath.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs, "I showed her it and tried to explain what it was and she... well... she started removing it without even telling me. I should have stopped her."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 6* She bites her lip.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns. "I realized a little too late that mark might have been the only thing standing in the way of me and Harbinger when we arrive. I didn't know whether to trust in Jean or to push her away and stop her. My hesitation probably just caused us more problems."
<Kit> <Zeal> No. In the scheme of things it hardly matters. Neither I nor lady Rachael have such brands, after all.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> But there has to be some reason, right? Mercy and Kaelan got...marks after being 'healed', right?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We should ask Angel when she comes back around... I'm certainly not going to hide what I did from her. It's my fault, I let her do it."
<Kit> <Zeal> Perhaps I am merely not as close to the angel as sir Fyro or lady Mercy." 6She mumbles.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Or you haven't been hurt yety.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Or she doesn't see a need to make sure she has a mark on you. She probably trusts you, I annoy the Angel..."
<Kit> <Zeal> I was nearly made a lesser demon-- and I have been injured several times..
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So have I, and so has Kaelan. It's just this recent healing Kaelan got the mark, right, and Daohk, and Mercy. It might be she's getting stronger
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "When I told Jean there might be some control between the Angel and I in the mark, she got rid of it."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> mmm --- ...
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I think Jean didn't want that sort of power over me, so she removed it for that reason. I... really hope I didn't make a bad situation worse by not stopping her. Though... Angel didn't say to keep Jean out of the loop on the marks either."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe it's good we don't have marks
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Angel did say it meant we were cursed."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "For that matter, the symbol intrigued Jean before she knew what it was... I wonder if it meant something to her other then as a brand."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael thinks, then nods at Kaelan's arm, which had been steadily healing every day since the accident despite not healing. "I noticed your arm is looking better."
<DeathStar> (Er, not healing by being touched)
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and looks down at it. "Huh... yeah it is healing a lot faster then before."
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, she can move it, though since the mark incident, there's been a dull ache that's been in it that wasn't present before - an ache typical from that type of injury
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm... I think the mark was healing me."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It hurts now, it didn't before she removed the mark."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That could just be from it hurting when she removed it; hurt one spot, all injuries hurt
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> I think rather she is no longer channeling the Angel's ability to heal..
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Makes sense... Jean said she could feel my thoughts too. I suppose it was a side benefit." *she lets out a breath* "Jean for some reason she'd heal me later. I guess that's what she meant."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... you think it's safe to wake her?
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> At this rate she is deteriorating...
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Zeal might be right... but maybe if you wanted to wake her just for a little bit..." *she looks over Jean protectively*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks at Zeal for her call
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> I would prefer not, but...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Um, so who's going---to wake her?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I can... I already caused damage as is."
