Session Ident: #Session86
02* Logging for #Session86 started
01<@DeathStar> Date: 2389.6.15
01<@DeathStar> Location: Matias Grasslands
01<@DeathStar> 6* Having been passing many farms on their way toward the capital, the people seem well off, though far from rich. The smell of the ocean ahead begins to fill the air, though, and soon in the horizon they can see Matias' shape
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean rides her horse carefully, giggling, while Mercy clutches Kaelan in a death grip on their's.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Good to see a city again." *she smiles, not minding Mercy holding so tightly*
<Seraphna> * Seth rides his horse in match to Jean's pace, he gazes forward. "Sounds like someone misses real beds."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean likes sleeping under the glittering - and in barns!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael rides her horse in a relaxed way, having been distant lately and spending her nights alone doing gods know what.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile rides Azhren's horse, both of them very clumsy on it
<Kellin> 6* Valen totally has a stolen horse and is riding it a bit casually.
<Seraphna> * Seth yawns, "Oi it's fun, but a good warm bed from time to time can be nice."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks ahead in thought, chewing his lower lip in a way he does when contemplating heavily
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers over towards Thomas before looking again to guide her horse. "What's on your mind, Sir Thomas?"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I am thinking on how to approach the Bishop on matters
<Eluere> 6Zeal holds onto Thomas while Nephilim makes a face, squished between Rachael and Aschae.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm, probably not a good idea to go 'lo, I am with the Angel', if that helps."
<Kellin> 6* Valen glances to Thomas slightly. 1You knew him, yes?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan pulls her metal eyepatch out, fixing it over her eye.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they start to get closer, they can see the city is wide spread, but not very tall, outside a large hill in the center where the palace an be seen, made of beautiful materials and what might be a waterfall falling down. There's even large trees like in the forest in the city growing about, with some buildings in them
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes. We shared many interests
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... you need to be careful, the Church could have spread word about us down here already."
<Kellin> <Valen> Well I suggest keeping it on a friendly basis and hope that word has not spread indeed.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I am hoping he will join our cause. 6* He says in simple reminder
<Eluere> <Zeal> Shall I go with you..?
<Eluere> <Aschae> Maybe I should go. He might could use some persuasion?" 6She chuckles.
<Seraphna> Seth> "It'd be nice mate, but we don't know if the Church has put any false ideas in his head already, you should be ready to have to combat those lies."
<Eluere> <Zeal> That is why I should go, not you.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I will wait until we have done our shopping and secured a ship, so that if I fail, you can all still get away
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It'd be nice if we all got away."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> You might need to offer the ship captain a lot of our gold, though, to get him to be willing to leave instantly
<Kellin> 6* Valen hmms. 1Before we has decided Rynar would accompany you. Now who would be that person?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers at Zeal. "I-- would hate to put you in danger, Zeal."
<Eluere> <Zeal> 'You all' ...I am not leaving you behind!
01<@DeathStar> 6* A bird flies overhead with Rynar's head. Maybe
<Seraphna> Seth> "Ah, the bonds of love. Let your dove fly with you Thomas, else she'll get her feathers all out of order."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> .... Zeal... 6* His expression softens and he leans back to touch her face.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> B-But--- if Zeal goes then I go.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sniffs
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "If so, the group should stop at that, we can't all go."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...Can we?"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> It would be unwise for us to all go; if Jean is taken, then we have failed
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Mrmmphmm rmmm mmrrmmph!" 6She flails behind Rachael
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean sulks
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Nephilim agrees that I should go
<Eluere> 6Aschae pauses and leans back so Nephilim isn't smothered by her breasts and Rachael's back.
<Seraphna> * Seth brings his horse close to Jean's and gives her a grin. "Don't be upset, you've got a family that cares for your well being, that's all."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Like hell!
<Kellin> <Valen> I believe I should go. I am quite capable of getting out of danger. Unless of course it's a beam that destroys me.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> But I don't feel right putting people in danger....
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I-- 6* He peers at Valen, clearly not quite trusting him near a church offical. Lenneth rides along holding Valen's back
<Seraphna> Seth> "Well, stick with me and you won't be, Jean."
<Kellin> <Valen> Unless of course you fear I would do something...bad.
<Eluere> <Aschae> It doesn't seem to matter that I offered. Huhuhu.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "If Rachael is going, she'll keep him in line."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I think it unwise for too many of us to go, frankly
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I don't want Rach going!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Nephilim. "Q
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Nephilim. "Why not?"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Because you might get caught again!
<Kellin> <Valen> I simply offered because of my ability to flee. Besides, if things go wrong, maybe I could save poor Thomas. For Zeal's sake.
<Seraphna> Seth> "That's a danger we all face, some of us more then others."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Maybe Jean should go!
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs a bit. "Let's worry about it when we get to the inn, alright?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> And I could likely kill anyone in our way as we left the front door. Why settle for less?" 6She smiles.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I would---rather avoid killing Aschae
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns a bit. "NOt sure I like the idea of you wandering right into a church base."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> But if we talked maybe he'd understand!
<Eluere> <Aschae> Oh." 6She tilts her head. 1"...Oh."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at them all chattering
<Seraphna> Seth> "I imagine after he talks to Thomas, he'll want to talk to you, but we should be sure it's a friendly talk first."
<Eluere> <Aschae> ...Well, I can also be very persuasive in tongue. And I could... knock lots unconscious..?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Let us make it simple; Thomas, what is the max number of people you think wise to come? <Thomas> 3. No more than that
<Kellin> <Valen> I heard some bandits use a phrase before and I enact it. Dibs.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks over at Lenneth.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Y-You're calling dibs?"
<Kellin> <Valen> I...believe that means what I think it does...doesn't it?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas studies Valen. "Why do you think you should go with me? If I might ask."
<Seraphna> Seth> "It's a sort of 'me first', yes."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Because he's a man of action." 6She chuckles, then pats Nephilim on the head, who narrows her eyes and fondles her in revenge-- except she just laughs softly and hugs Nephilim back into her breasts.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Can we not go ourselves..?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas glances at zeal, probably preferring it would just the two, but ack at Valen
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I thought it a better plan when it was just Thomas and Zeal..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they get closer to the town they can smell more of the ocean air and hear the sounds of people
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sulks
<Kellin> <Valen> I just feel I would be useful there. If you and Zeal would rather go alone, then I will stay with the others.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No offense to anyone, but two Templars are far more conspicuous."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> We'll discuss it more at the inn, but I think Zeal and I would have a better chance - if news of our betrayal has not come this far. If it has, then it is a simple moot point anyway
<Seraphna> Seth> "Maybe the Bishop will for once be a wise one and not believe everything her hears. Still, yes, let's wait."
<Kellin> <Valen> Fair enough. Consider it dropped. 6He nods his head slightly. 1I can use that time to help Lenneth.
<Seraphna> * Seth peers ahead for the usual messy business of gate guards.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I hope so.... 6* She mumbles. They begin to get closer to the city gates and see a line of farmers bringing stuff into the city to sell. Rachael navigaes her horse behind a wagon and calmly trods along, peering at the city wall
<Seraphna> * Seth and Kaelan bring their horses into a calm step as well.
<Eluere> <Zeal> We do not need to sneak into the city itself, do we..?
<Kellin> 6* Valen whistles casually as they trots along.
<Seraphna> * Neither Seth or Kaelan answer that, just peering ahead calmly.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Sneak? ... What are you talking about?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at her
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at the city walls quietly, looking them over curiously, hanging onto Valen to look aroun, her hands on his lower stomach as she does
<Eluere> 6Zeal sniffs, turning her nose up the other way
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile looks at the city, waiting impatiently as the line trods along
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Don't you turn your nose up at me, narvan, or I'll bop it!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "She's worried about pictures and people inspecting faces. I think."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Hrmph!
<Eluere> <Aschae> Hm... wonder I should not hide myself..? Huhu..
<Seraphna> Seth> "Your beauty is enough to dazzle them away from such thoughts as arrest, dear Aschae."
<Kellin> 6* Valen lets out a chuckle.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Finally they reach the city gates and the guards just wave them in boredly. Jean gives him a beaming smile, her hair inside the cap Seth gave her to hide it, and everyone telling her not to look with her eyes too long
<Eluere> <Aschae> Well, your meadowgirl is quite good with a needle and I do recall my vestments." 6She smiles.
<Eluere> <Aschae> There are some... unsaid benefits to travelling with a priestess.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they enter the city, they would see the streets are wide to avoid crowding like in other places, and the buildings simple - brick and mortar. There are trees all about, some large like in the forest, and even have some buildings in them with steps built into the tree. Near the gate are inns, businesses, and street vendors like normal
<Seraphna> * Seth peers about, "We'll want an inn nearby the docks for ease."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> So...um---through the city then
01<@DeathStar> 6* The palace can be seen on the hill in the center, and ab eautiful watefull flows down along it. There's no sign of a church building like in other cities
<Kellin> 6* Valen peers around as he keeps urging the horse on.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael slows as they travel the streets, people oving about with no cares; due to the summer heat building, most go bareshirted and women were light clothing like Rachael. Rachael's ears, hidden in her vines and flowers, actually fits the style of the city
<Kellin> <Valen> It's been a long, long time.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan opens her blouse a bit and sighs looking around. "At least the sea brings in a nice breeze."
<Eluere> <Zeal> I should like to find some clothing while we are here..
01<@DeathStar> 6* The vendors wave food at them, which now costs actual money; The team's supplies are actually nearly depleted
<Seraphna> * Seth grins, leading his horse on, looking to move towards the docks. "Seaside inns are always the good ones too."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> They are?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean looks around, eyeing fruit longingly as they pass
<Kellin> <Valen> They're more expensive. 6He notes to Seth.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Would you like some, dear?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers about, "I'll have to hunt for the best prices..." *she pauses by one* "How much for that fruit?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Yes!
<Seraphna> Seth> "Better beer."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim's eyes glower and she smiles widely, peering around at all the vendors and people like a cat spotting dangling things.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man smiles, holding up the fruit, a juicy looking red fruit. "It is only 1 silver, my dear."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan fishes out the silver and exchanges it for the fruit, then passes it to Jean.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Thanks, if my friend enjoys it, I'll be back for more soon."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man smiles and bows, and Jean takes it, eating into it instantly and going mmm as juices run down her chin.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles.
<Kellin> <Valen> I sure would like some fruit. 6He says longingly.
<Eluere> 6Aschae hops down and walks over, tugging on Jean and then licks the juice she's letting fall off her chin and neck.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks and giggles as she does
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods at Valen. "Me too."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh yes, give Mercy your favorite dishes so she can get a list of ingredients for me to pick up."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> The trip I am told will be very long; I'll need to get 4xs the usual supplies. <Rachael> It might be cheaper for us to get our own food than use the sihp's food
<Kellin> 6* Valen nods to Rachael and shifts over to her, holding out 1 gold piece.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "Hence me wanting to supply up after we upload are packs at the Inn."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes it, then peers at the man. "How much will 1 gold get us?" <Man> Um--I-I cannot afford that much m'lady. I only have 40 fruit
<Kellin> 6* Valen frowns. 1Do you have anything else you could trade?
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man shakes his head. "I only have 10 silver, m'lord."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I have some smaller coin, if you want to break it with me, Valen."
<Kellin> 6* Valen nods. 1That would be great, thank you.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael hands Kaelan the gold while Jean holds out her fruit to Aschae
<Seraphna> * Kaelan exchanges the gold for silver pieces, giving it to Rachael.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes the 99 silver pieces given to her, since Kaelan needs to see a bank to break up her money, and hands it to Valen
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man looks in awe of their richness
<Seraphna> * Kaelan adds that thought to her shopping list.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim sneaks by Rachael, holding a different kind of fruit
<Kellin> 6* Valen holds out 5 silver. 1Could you give me 5 of your various fruits, please?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Down the street is a strange sight; Phan and Pher's Armory. Phan and PHer's Bank. Phan and Pher's Tavern. Rachael points. "Didn't see see one of their taverns in Navarro?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man bows and takes the silver, giving him 5 fruits in a bag of sorts, bowing to him.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yes. They have chains all over Tareh, I think."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes Nephilim stealing fruit, frowning
<Kellin> 6* Valen bows slightly as well. 1Thank you very much sir. Have a good day. 6He gives Rachael some fruit, and offers some to Lenneth as well.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth takes it. "Thank you, 'Lord' Valen."
<Kellin> 6* Valen arches a brow slightly. 1Please. Just Valen.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles and bites into her own and rides her horse forward toward the sea, peering about. There's sounds of music coming all over; from the tavern to the streets, where people play music in the hopes of coins. Nephilim would spot one blind bard having a hat with 13 coppers in it
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> IT was a joke. People think you are a lord with that much gold
<Eluere> 6Aschae finishes helping Jean with her fruit-- the last piece shared in a kiss. Nephilim gobbles a couple of the bananananas she stole and peers at the bard, skipping over.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blushes slightly and giggles
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Nephilim!!
<Kellin> 6* Valen lets out a laugh. 1I see, sorry but I used to be a Lord a tone point. It was a good joke though.
<Seraphna> * Seth watches Aschae and Jean, enjoying the moment.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I see.
<Kellin> 6* Valen offers a piece of fruit to Faile.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm, do we want to shop now or get to an inn first? We're crowding the poor street."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> We should probably stop at the bank first to get ... less gold so people do not rob us. Right?... They would rob us if they coul
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Yes, cie narvan?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael yanks Neph away from the bard
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile blinks, and takes it suspiciously. "I-- ... thank you..."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "Bank sounds like a good idea."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Nephilim. "Where did Nephilim get so much stuff?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks back at Mercy. She smiles softly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy seems to be looking around in awe, watching bards and people move about without a care. The town feels very laid back
<Kellin> 6* Valen bows his head slightly. 1Think nothing of it. 6He peers at his two fruit and then offers the last ones to Mercy and Zeal.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael guides their horses toward the bank and stops there. Anyone wanting to exchange gold for various bits should do so here
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks, taking it, and smiles, while Thomas climbs off his horse
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Why'd you yank me away! I wanted to listen!!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> O-Oh.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Sorry. 6* She hangs her head
<Seraphna> * Kaelan dismounts, careful of Mercy, and heads into the bank.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ... ...Wh-What?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I thought you were going to take his coppers. S-Sorry.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks horrorfied for thinking ill
<Eluere> 6Zeal blinks and smiles at Valen, chewing daintily
<Eluere> <Nephilim> From a blind bard..!? Geez.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael scoots inside the bank like she's mortified.
<Kellin> 6* Valen bows his head to each of them and then shifts to get off of the horse, reaching out to help Lenneth down.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth takes his hand and climbs down, smiling at him and bowing her head a bit.
<Seraphna> * Seth dismounts and looks to Jean. "You should put your gold away safe in here." *he offers a hand to Jean*
<Kellin> 6* Valen bows his head slightly and then moves for the bank to exchange some gold, tying the horse up beforehand.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Inside the bank, women wearing skimpy outfits are behind the counters. Rachael blinks - they're even skimpier than her own
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks and takes the hand. "Gold away?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes a bit, but adjusts her sword a bit and moves to the counter.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Wh-What is with their outfits?!
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman behind the counter smiles. "Welcome to Phan and Pher's Bank of Love. Will you be putting coins into the bank, exchanging, or taking out?"
<Seraphna> Seth> "Yes, banks store gold and keep it safe from theives."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Yummy..." 6She chuckles, moving over to speak with one of the countermaids.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean ooohs and follows happily
<Kellin> 6* Valen moves to exchange some of the 3 silver for copper and 2 gold for silver.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean hands Aschae 50 gold and smiles
<Eluere> <Aschae> Hm? What's this, sweetie?
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> So Aschae can do what others are doing!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Putting in and exchanging... well... I travel a lot..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman nods, smiling and leaning forward with cleaveage showing. Mercy peers about
<Eluere> <Aschae> Well aren't you a peach. Here you go, cutie." 6She slips the gold to the counter. 1"A deposit, it seems."
<Seraphna> * Seth steps in and grins a little.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman takes it and smiles, handing Aschae a forum to mark her info
<Seraphna> * Kaelan stares a little, blushing, "Umm... so if I needed money and I had to leave here, could I get it in another city?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael hands over 10 gold, asking for 1000 silver, which will then be traded for 500 copper and 500 silver left over
<Kellin> 6* Valen whistles as he moves back outside and waits for the others to come back out.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> If there's another Phan and Pher Bank, we will have your account information sent out and they will give your coins to you!
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> We have banks all over Tareh.
<Eluere> 6Aschae scribbles out some information and nods to her, sliding the paper over but leaving her fingers on it with a subtle smile.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth waits outside, eating her fruit quietly, having no gold
<Kellin> <Valen> Would you like some gold, Lenneth?
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman blushes at the smile, touching her fingers
<Eluere> 6Aschae smiles more, letting go.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hm? No. I am good. I will just accept whatever charity you all wish to give me. Like new clothes. 6* She motions at her tunic being stained still from the blood
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman takes her information into the back, glancing back at ASchae
<Eluere> 6Aschae winks to her, her eyes closed since they entered town.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean deposits all her gold, like Seth told her
01<@DeathStar> 6* She happily signs her name
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grins, "Alright then, I'd like to make a deposit... a big one."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Hm... maybe I should get some new clothes.
<Seraphna> * Seth puts his hand over hers as she goes to sign.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> We always like big deposits!
<Kellin> <Valen> If you would like something, I will purchase it for you with what I have. A lady needs nice clothing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, glancing at Seth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth blinks, blushing ever slightly. "Well...um...thank you."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim frowns, stomping on Valen's foot
<Seraphna> Seth> *he whispers* "Your name... might be dangerous."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Oh...w-what do I sign then?
<Seraphna> * Seth considers. "You could use mine, if you like."
<Kellin> 6* Valen jerks and peers at Nephilim. 1What?
<Seraphna> Seth> "My last name, that is, I'll vouch that you're you."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Spoiling everyone but me!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods and signs his name
<Seraphna> * Kaelan fills out the forms herself, depositing 1000 gold, and exchanging 5 gold for 500 silver, and then 50 silver for 500 copper.
<Kellin> <Valen> I'm quite certain that you have more than enough.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "If I need more I just come back and get some, right?"
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> You sure can, miss!
01<@DeathStar> <woman> You also makew interest!
<Kellin> 6* Valen shifts slightly to try and peer into her money bag.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles. "Neat."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Up to you if you want to claim to be my sister or... well..." *he looks away, looking shy for once, then fumbles as he deposits 150 gold of his own*
<Eluere> 6Zeal deposits 200 of her's, then keeps 14 as gold, 95 silver up 500 copper
<Seraphna> * Seth then exchanges 5 gold for 500 silver.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Curious... how do they know it's me? I mean, all across the world."
<Kellin> 6* Valen leans back. 1More than enough indeed.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> Your signature!
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> Also, thumb print in our ink
<Eluere> 6Nephilim peers at everyone using their bank and hrmphs, moving over to deposit all of her's.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods, seeing that as she makes it. "I see, hard to counterfeit something like that."
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> We're the best!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael steps over to Valen. "I've never done anything like this before; it's really neat
01<@DeathStar> 6* She beams like a girl fresh out of the forest, much like she was months ago
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and gives her a winning grin. "Well it was certainly nice to do business with you."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean skips outside happily
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> And you!
<Kellin> 6* Valen glances to Lenneth and then motions. 1I still have trouble trusting them with my coin.
<Seraphna> * seth follows her out.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves to rejoin Mercy.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Do you think they will steal it?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "In a way, they have. They likely use the money by loaning it out to other people and collecting interest on it, always keeping enough profit to return what they've in effect, borrowed."
<Kellin> <Valen> I just worry that I would get to a location where there's no bank and I would need the money.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ...How'd you know, Kael?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "At least... that's something I think would be a good thing to do with a lot of people's money, got to rake a profit in somehow."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile clears her throat. "Azhren and I should go. We have no gold to barter."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks, then peers at Kaelan almost pleadingly to give the two some coin
<Eluere> <Azhren> ...Indeed." 6He nods to them all, turning to go
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile does the same.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and moves over to the two, holding out 10 gold to each. "Hold on you two."
<Eluere> <Azhren> ...What is this?
<Kellin> 6* Valen pauses and glances towards them, then glances to Kaelan.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Gold goes a long way here... use this to make a start, or travel where you want."
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> We do not need charity. <Mercy> Please, Azhren. 6* She says, glancing at him
<Eluere> 6Azhren looks to Faile.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile frowns, clearly not liking the idea
<Eluere> 6Then to Mercy, frowning a bit.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It's not charity, you've travelled with us for some time. It's a parting gift from me."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Faile and Azhren helped a lot! Should take some of the gold.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles, "It's rude not to accept a gift once offered."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> You will need it, Sir Azhren, to get started. Plus if you do well you can always pay it back if we return
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile finally concedes, taking her 10
<Kellin> <Valen> It's a shame that you both must go, but I understand. 6He bows his head to the both of them.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile nods back. "One will hope you do not all die."
<Eluere> <Azhren> ..This is true. Very well. To the future, then.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles. "You'll be missed, but please, make good lives for yourselves, enjoy life."
<Eluere> 6Azhren takes the ten gold and nods to Kaelan. 1"We shall. And one day return the favor that began our new lives."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile peers down simply, not one for goodbyes, or much words, and she turns to go after one more nod to them all
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean and Mercy look a bit sad
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "Good Fortune to you both."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I will ask Lady Zeal to come back here again one day so I might see you once more, Azhren...my...friend
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile moves to go with their stolen horse
<Eluere> <Azhren> Fret not. Perhaps our business will take us to you.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Either way...
01<@DeathStar> 6* The two move off into the crowd and Jean sniffles sadly
<Seraphna> * Seth puts an arm around her.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well...we should go find that inn that...Seth mentioned. Or do you think we should go for a cheaper one, V alen? We have plenty of coin for once
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves back to Mercy and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean leans against him and Mercy gives Kaelan a sad smile, watching Azhren's tall figure fade away
<Seraphna> Seth> "I'll leave it up to you all."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "He'll find his happy life you wished for now. Don't be sad, this is only a goodbye for now, not forever."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean want soft bed!
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I only hope Miss Faile is nice to him
<Kellin> 6* Valen clears his throat. 1Some of us should get the room, and some of us should go and shop for supplies.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm, we'll need an inn with plenty of rooms. We have so many coupling up."
<Seraphna> * Seth winks at Thomas and Zeal.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, first we should probably charter a ship before supplies. To see how much that will cost and how much supplies we'll need food wise. We can always restock once we sail across
<Kellin> <Valen> Yes, that's very true.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Alright. After all that, I'll start looking into a forge, I have some ideas on that armor. For Rachael, Valen and Seth at least. No one else has given me input."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael leads the horses down the busy streets, passing the Phan and Pher Tavern
<Eluere> 6Zeal blushes slightly, clinging to Thomas.
<Kellin> 6* Valen moves along with Rachael, leading his own horse.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas puts an arm around Zeal, kissing her forehead discreetly
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I--have an item I'd like you to make, Kaelan. ... later I will tell you in private
<Eluere> 6Nephilim hops up behind Rachael, now with a satchel of something.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "Sure thing Thomas."
<Eluere> 6Aschae slips up behind Jean, wrapping her arms around her and resting her chin on her shoulder, smirking.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks and smiles at her
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at the satchel, then discreetly peers in
<Seraphna> * Seth looks at Achae, who's slightly wrapped around him too, having had his arm around Jean.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Room for three then?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they move along, they see various houses and homes, businesses; there's stores for items, weapons, armors, though Phan and PHer's looks the best weapon wise. They begin to pass the Hunter Guild
01<@DeathStar> 6* A sign says 'Monster Hunters Needed'
01<@DeathStar> 6* Across the street is the Digger Guild
<Kellin> <Valen> Seth, don't forget to take that head there.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Looks like I need to make a stop soon. I have trophies to turn in too."
<Seraphna> * Seth grins to Valen.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael checks their Digger licenses idlely
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> We'll need to replace Dahok's name with someone elses'....
<Kellin> 6* Valen nods once. 1This Phan and Pher seems to be the best in town. I think their shop was here when I was younger.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down sadly
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks, she seems to get distant and looks down.
<Seraphna> * Seth lets out a breath. "We'll think about that in a little bit, I think."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Would it not be better to have Seth be Dahok?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Altering names would be hard I would think
<Eluere> <Aschae> She has a point.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Very well."
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they travel, they pass low rent inns, the ocean up ahead, and they can see a massive dock system with lots of ships and boats. There's even some huge warships out there
01<@DeathStar> 6* The docks seem to be well kept from this distance
<Seraphna> Seth> "How about those low rent inns? They're close enough I think."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The low rent inns look pretty run down and Jean sulks
<Seraphna> Seth> "...Perhaps not then."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Valen and I had to sleep in some like this on our travels---they have bugs
<Seraphna> * Seth gives her a squeeze. "Alright, something nicer."
<Kellin> <Valen> While a place like this doesn't bother me. I sense it would some of the others.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I refuse to sleep with bugs!
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean want one where she can see ocean. Please? Please...Dahok taught Jean so much about ocean... 6* She says profoundly sad
<Kellin> <Valen> But you sleep with Rachael. 6He seems amused at himself.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan hugs mercy and gets more withdrawn.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Seaside inn it is!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks and looks at Valen indignantly. Mercy hugs Kaelan supportively
<Kellin> 6* Valen smiles. 1I couldn't help myself.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> T-That's mean
<Seraphna> Seth> "Let's get to the docks then. Kaelan, keep up girl."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks, snapping out of it and hugging Mercy back.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas adjusts his glasses as he guides Zeal along. As they get along, they begin to pass medium ranged inns that looks pretty good, but aren't sea side.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy leads Kaelan along gently
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma peeks out of Zeal's breasts
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gives her a smile, walking with her again. "Sorry..."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Rach isn't a bug... she's a pretty flower. Like Zeal!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yep. 6* She hugs Zeal.
<Kellin> <Valen> I apologize. 6He peers at the medium range inns, frowning slightly.
<Eluere> <Zeal> I-- I am staying out of this!
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm... these look good, but Jean wants to see the ocean."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down. "If everyone thinks these are okay, Jean won't argue."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Nonsense, you deserve to be happy."
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they walk along, another Zeal is behind the group, walking casually about
<Eluere> <Zeal> I-- I would like to spoil Jean for once." 6She sniffs, probably meaning herself as well.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> They are closer to the ocean, too; if we need to escape it would be faster.
<Seraphna> * Seth peers around and winks at the other Zeal.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they reach the ocean docks, they can see an elaborate inn with balconies facing the ocean, and it's three stories, and made of fine brick. There's one that's just meh as well, but the pretty one has flowers growing outside it and along the walls. And the roof has a little looking glass toward the sea
<Eluere> <Nephilim> That one looks great!
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Would that one not be expensive?
01<@DeathStar> 6* The smells of food come from the elaborate one, too
<Kellin> <Valen> Very expensive.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Let's... see the prices."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at the flowers and squirms, trying not to say she wants it
<Eluere> <Aschae> Perhaps I could negotiate?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks it over, remembering it when they were poor and wanting to pick a flower. She glides over
<Seraphna> * Seth moves over to the entrance with Jean.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ... I'm sure you could..
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "If you want to try."
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they enter the lobby area of the building, the air feels cool, and they can see people fanning to keep the heat low. The smells of food and people quietly talking comes from the left and they can see it's own eating area, and stairs leading up to the rooms. The people here are dressed nicely, and some glance them over and look like they're expecting 'tourists'
<Kellin> 6* Valen hmms. 1We should let Zeal ask, they might try to raise the prices based on our apperance and Zeal is the cleanest of us all.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Meaning, no money and gawking
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean, dressed in silk clothing, has cut it for a top and loi ncloth get up. Thomas is in his typical tunic and pants
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> They would do that?
<Eluere> <Zeal> Yes, it is common sadly, especially in Sinai.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan is in a blouse and trousers, the gleam of her metal underwear showing a little.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Go ahead Zeal."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> This place will likely have a heated bathing area. The Prince would only stay at inns with it
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> He would tell me about it sometimes after... .... after... I waited on him
<Kellin> <Valen> Heated bath? Sounds strange.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy peers down. "Not really; I heated the bath water for everyone at the castle."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "There was one in Nuege castle."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> It was wonderful
<Kellin> <Valen> Ah...6He hmms.
<Eluere> 6Zeal nods, tilting her head slightly, then moves ahead to inquire about rooms.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas leads Zeal to the counter, whispering. "You think I should show my church ID?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> We can bathe together. 6* She winks at Valen
<Eluere> 6Zeal shakes her head to Thomas after a moment's thought
<Seraphna> * Kaelan whispers in Mercy's ear.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy smiles at her
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles back.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods and stands with her, looking important at least. The woman glances Zeal's skirt over, then u pat her. "I am afraid this place is quite expensive, miss."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at some rare flowers in vases in the lobby area, awwing at them. Lenneth peers about, looking disinterest with the fanciness
<Kellin> <Valen> You just want to laugh at me being awkward at being in a warm bath.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll wash your back, you big baby. Maybe Nephilim will wash your front.
<Seraphna> * Seth follows her gaze, smiling, "You like flowers a lot, dear."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Yes, I am aware." 6She says, speaking deliberately and without shorthand. 1"Do you have clothing services, or is this place not fully equipped?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> They're pretty.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> M-Me!? You wash him!
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman looks at Zeal. "We have a respected tailor that comes from his shop here to help clients- for a fee. He makes the best clothes in Matias outside the Palace."
<Seraphna> Seth> "The finest rose pales in comparison to you."
<Kellin> <Valen> Or she'll set me on fire again.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> What's a rose?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, if you're oin the water, it'll fail
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael hugs Nephilim behind, groping her. "But fine, I'll wash you, Nephilim. Mwahaha."
<Eluere> <Zeal> I am glad to hear that. These temporaries are wearing thin from travel." 6She sniffs. 1"Though the talk of prices had me curious if you were seeking more money than necessary to make rennovations.
<Seraphna> Seth> "A red flower, closed mot of the time, it blooms rarely, very beautiful, though it has thorns. It's the flower that Zeal there is named after. They grow in oasis sometimes."
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> Excuse me?
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Oh! I'd like to see a flower that looks like Zeal!
<Kellin> <Valen> She'll still try. 6He coughs.
<Seraphna> * Seth considers and grins, "I think I can draw one for you, sometime. If we can't find you one."
<Eluere> <Zeal> M-Me?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean beams and peers around Aschae at more
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael wiggles her fingers
<Eluere> 6Nephilim flails, glaring at her
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman looks at Zeal, looking at a loss for words
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> We are making no rennovations
<Eluere> <Zeal> Some establishments raise the prices in Sinai based on looks and their needs to not lose profits. Forgive me for assuming." 6She bows her head respectfully and smiles warmly.
<Kellin> 6* Valen leans towards Nephilim and peers at her. 1You like bathing with me.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> W-We are not such an establishment. Our prices are worth the stay here.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> When you were little!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles and her fingers play with Nephilim's rear so she'll jerk toward Valen
<Eluere> <Zeal> I am glad." 6She nods. 1"So... what is the boarding price, miss? Unless I missed it being mentioned."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim squeaks, hopping at Valen
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks over Mercy. "Would you like me to get you a new uniform while we shop?" *she pauses for effect* "Perhaps some other clothes as well?"
<Kellin> 6* Valen pauses after catching her. 1I sense that hasn't changed much.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> Of course. We have two types of room, the normal rooms, and the suites, which are for the... higher class, of course. Normal rooms cost 1 gold for one day. For a meal with that room it will be 1 gold and 50 silver per meal you wish. You can eat as much during that meal. ... suites are 3 gold each, but they come with personal bathing areas and balconies with a view
<Seraphna> * Kaelan starts to take a head count for rooms.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> Meals will be delivered to the suites and the price is based on how much is ordered and what is ordered. We have special items for our elite guests
<Kellin> <Valen> Nephilim and I can share a room.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean want suite! Jean want suite!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles
<Eluere> <Zeal> I should think two rooms and one suite will do.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'll share one with Mercy and Jean then."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman nods and begins to get the order ready. Thomas gestures Kaelan forward
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles, "We want to give Zeal some privacy with Thomas."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Wouldn't we need an extra room?
01<@DeathStar> *Lenneth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at them all
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves up, "Two, Aschae and Nell will want a room."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Then there's Seth... ummm..." *she peers at him*
<Seraphna> * Seth looks innocent.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean think Mercy and Kaelan will want privacy more! Jean can stay with Aschae if want
<Eluere> <Aschae> Lenneth is fine with us as well.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes. "I-I believe so... i-if we can get a bath though..."
<Eluere> <Zeal> The suite is for Jean... Thomas and I can stay in one of the other rooms.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Seth and Valen in a room; Nephilim and I. Zeal and Thomas if they want. Mercy and Kaelan. Nell and Aschae. And JEan where-ever with whoever
<Kellin> 6* Valen jerks slightly. 1I have to share a room with Seth?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I think Nephilim's not ready to share a room with you yet. Heh heh
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ...
<Kellin> 6* Valen smirks and winks.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman gets the keys for two normal rooms and one suite.
<Eluere> <Zeal. Fine, three rooms..?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'll get a suite with Mercy. She deserves a little luxury."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I---I am not worthy of such things
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> And I could not have a suite if Lady Zeal does not
<Eluere> 6Zeal rubs her face slightly, smiling and sighing at the dilemma.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Nonsense. Plus I want a bath myself. Zeal can join us."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Ha ha. How big are the suites, my lady?
<Eluere> <Zeal> I wished not to waste too much of our expenses without reason..
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman peers at them. "Well, there is only one bed in the suite, but it is rather large...you could... fit two and a servant in it if you wish. There is also a comfortable couch in a suite for a servant
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I insist. 6* She says firmly, shaking her head. Apparantly she won't get a suite if Zeal does not have one
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Zeal, I'll cover the difference in cost for your suite."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> If it's cheap I can take a couch somewhere
<Seraphna> * Seth just grins quietly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The extra Zeal speaks up. "Well, don't forget me."
<Kellin> 6* Valen waits till he's directed to a room, he pauses and peers between the two zeals.
<Eluere> <Zeal> You will do no such thi--" 6She jerks, blinking at the other in surprise
<Seraphna> * Seth grins, "Oh yes, we'll get a room."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The other Zeal peers at Seth. "How scandelous."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman on the counter seems to get impatient to know how many rooms
<Seraphna> Seth> "I'm a scoundrel."
01<@DeathStar> <Other Zeal> I am a lady.
<Eluere> 6Aschae slips alongside the hostess, putting an arm around her slowly. 1"Hello, there."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman peers at Aschae, sniffing. "Please do not smudge my outfit."
<Eluere> 6Aschae leans in slowly, chuckling. 1"Aw, you're adorable."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "So Suites, Zeal and Thomas, Jean with Me and Mercy as well, rooms... *she counts out pairings* "THree rooms?"
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> I---
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blushes at Kaelan putting her back with Mercy and her
<Kellin> <Valen> Yes. Could I get a key?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles. "Mercy won't take a suite without Zeal and Thomas taking one, and I'm your maid anyway."
<Eluere> <Aschae> My ladies and masters here are merely concerned with reserving too much of your inn. They do not like to show off. Perhaps we could... reserve our own, however?" 6She smiles sweetly.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> B-But Jean not want to get in the way at night
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> Excuse me?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You are never in my way, sis."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at the floor at that, fidgeting
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael begins to look impatient herself now
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I don't think that's what she meant, you hussy smith.
<Kellin> <Valen> Someone stop Aschae before she gets us kicked out.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan leans over and kisses her cheek. "We'll use the bath to be close. Then we can all snuggle?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean fidgets more
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks, "What is it sis?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael just makes a noise. "Kaelan pay the woman for the suites and rooms."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Aschae, down girl."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Your voice is lovely and so is your scent, I merely thought I should like to listen to more this eve.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth watches them all, and the other Zeal watches them all amused
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> I am happily married, thank you!
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs and nods, she puts down the coin for the rooms.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman steps back from Aschae, eyeing her
<Seraphna> * And suites, we know what's meant.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Your husband doesn't allow you to speak to other women?" 6She looks surprised.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Aschae."
<Eluere> <Aschae> And here I thought it was a progressive age.
<Kellin> 6* Valen rubs his temple slowly.
<Kellin> <Valen> Aschae stop being a nuisance.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> I would prefer you step around to the other side of the counter before I have to call my manager.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan hands Jean her own key. "Not in the way." *she smiles*
<Eluere> <Aschae> That's fine..." 6She chuckles, wandering off to one of the side windows.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks and peers at the key as the woman takes their money, handing out three suite keys and three room keys
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> The total is...
<Seraphna> * Kaelan passes her one of those keys.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> 9 gold for the suites, and 3 gold for the rooms. Will those having the room be wanting meals?
<Kellin> <Valen> I'll be alright without, thank you. 6He calls out.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth studies Aschae, while the woman, flushed still, glancing at Aschae, then back at them.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes a room key and moves off
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No meals for now, we'll inform you if we change our minds."
<Eluere> 6Zeal squints. 1"...What just happened, Thomas?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman nods
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I do not know. This entire situation was quite flustering to me
<Seraphna> * Kaelan passes the 12 gold over.
01<@DeathStar> <Other Zeal> So...do I get to stay in a room with you, Thomas?
<Eluere> 6Aschae seems to be basking in the sun comfortably.
<Kellin> 6Valen takes his key and snaps to Thomas, motioning as he moves for his room as well.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes the other Zeal, flustering more and leading his Zeal toward the stairs
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grins to Jean. "Sorry I didn't listen... a little confusing all that was going on. You know me. Anyway... enjoy the room, okay sis?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows at Kaelan and grabs their belongings, carrying it toward the stairs
<Seraphna> Kaelan nods to Mercy, giving her an affectionate smile.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean just nods and smiles, looking slightly out of it right now, perhaps due to everyone's emotions and just follows
<Seraphna> * Seth looks to the other Zeal. "Shall I show you to your room, my lady?"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ... Sheesh." 6She gives them all a look, then eyes the second Zeal suspiciously before scurrying after Rachael to brag about her satchel
01<@DeathStar> <Other Zeal> Alas, my man Thomas has rejected me. 6* She says in a mock sigh, moving along with the others
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at it
<Seraphna> * Seth chuckles, he pats her on the head.
01<@DeathStar> 6 *The normal rooms seem to be on the second floor and suites on the third floor.
<Kellin> 6 Valen steps into his room and peers around.
<Eluere> 6It's a picnic of imported fruits from different places that she plans to share with Rachael and Jean.
01<@DeathStar> <Other Zeal> Aren't you in a room with Valen?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Where'd you get all those fruits?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Oh, they were just lying around.
01<@DeathStar> 6* RAchael opens a normal room and steps in
<Seraphna> Seth> "Perhaps he wants some time alone, or did you want to share with him too?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Uh huh
01<@DeathStar> <Other Zeal> Ha ha. 6* She just pats Seth's head like he were a child
<Seraphna> * Seth pouts a bit, then reaches around pattig her butt back.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth moves along quietly, waiting to see who wants her
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean watches Seth and the Other Zeal, then hurries up to the third floor
<Eluere> 6Aschae meets her, looking sheepish. 1"I didn't catch that one, I think. Unless she gets curious later."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael flops onto a nice bed; the rooms are reasonable sized for normal ones.
<Kellin> 6* Valen sets his stuff down and steps over to peer out the window.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas leads Zeal up to the third floor since they had to get a suite and he opens the room; it's three times as large as a normal room with the balcony, and the area for bathing. A bell can be rung for servants to bring in warm water
<Seraphna> * Seth peers at her go and looks to Other Zeal. "Mmm... I may have to talk with her."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas steps in and looks around, not feeling right to sit since they haven't bathed.
<Eluere> <Zeal> ...I have not seen a room this large since leaving the church..
01<@DeathStar> <Other Zeal> Hu hu hu. Well, since there's three rooms and Valen's alone, I gues I'm with you
<Seraphna> * Kaelan heads up to her suite.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean moves and unlocks a suite and steps in, peering about like a child and running around it, then to the balcony and peering down
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods at Zeal. "I--- don't even feel right sitting down."
<Seraphna> * Seth grins and pecks her cheek, he puts an arm around her waist and leads her to the room.
<Eluere> 6Aschae nudges Lenneth. 1"No comment? How rare-- are you jealous?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy carries their stuff into Zeal's room and sets it down
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hm? No. 6* She looks at Aschae. "I am merely wondering why people spend so much money on all this. I'd prefer to sleep outside in a meadow."
<Eluere> <Zeal> O-Oh, thank you Mercy."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows. "Should I get warm water for your bath, Lady Zeal, or are you all going shopping first?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> Luxury has its niceities. Nephilim and the halfling don't mind at all.
<Kellin> 6* Valen steps peers out slightly of the room and then steps out of to go knock on Rachael's door.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves in after her and looks at Mercy, then Zeal.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael's door is open and she's lecturing Nephilim on attaining fruit
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yet they are in a normal room
<Eluere> <Zeal> I am uncertain actually. It would not do to sully new clothing, perhaps baths are first in order.
<Kellin> 6* Valen pauses. 1Yeah. Bad.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Which room is ours? They all look taken.
<Eluere> <Aschae> They would feel left out, I suppose." 6She grins at Lenneth. 1"Shall we visit our angel?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Valen. "Hey. I'm about to go out to the port to find a ship, I guess, so I can go shopping."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows. "I will see to getting a bath ready for you then."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> It would be the only room that would fit three people I guess.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Mm, even if it did not have room in bed, I imagine we would manage." 6She chuckles.
<Kellin> <Valen> I'll accompany you. Come and get me when you've scolded her a bit more. 6He smiles and turns to step out to the front of the hotel.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows. "I'm done. Neph is Neph."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm, I'm going to head out checking on a ship." *she looks to Mercy* "I'll be back soon, alright?"
<Eluere> 6Nephilim puffs her cheeks with her arms crossed. 1"Damn straight."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well, you can let her know then. I prefer to go loo kat the ships. 6* She glances back at Valen and Rachael leaving, then moves to follow
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I will have your bath ready, too, Kaelan
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I should go check on the ship as well so you can bathe in peace.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I imagine she will want to as well, my lofty ravenhair.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas follows out. The Other Zeal sits on Seth's bed with her legs not crossed and wearing a skimpy loin cloth
<Eluere> <Zeal> Alright, Thomas. Come along Mercy, we will bathe then find ourselves more appropriate clothing.
<Seraphna> * Seth sits next to her, grinning a bit. "So you did meet up with us after all."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows and moves to get the necessary hot water
01<@DeathStar> <Other Zeal> Mmhmm; I think the others are leaving without you. Perhaps you should use your larger head
01<@DeathStar> 6* She smirks
<Kellin> 6* Valen glances to Lenneth and then Rachael. 1Should we wait on anyone else?
<Seraphna> Seth> "Don't know if I can, Car." *he grins a bit and leans in, kissing her neck* "You might be gone when I get back, then the little head will be sad."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael shrugs a bit and Lenneth peers out toward the sea quietly, looking more relaxed outside the building. She glances up at Jean on the balcony, peering out at sea blankly
<Eluere> 6Aschae smirks, tilting her head and watching Lenneth's rear walk away, shakes her head then goes up to inform and ask Jean if she would like to go.
01<@DeathStar> <Other Zeal> I'll be around; I can't miss the boat after all
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Aschae when she arrives. "No, I'll stay here. I like it here. And I do not know anything about ships."
<Seraphna> * Seth nods a bit and gets up. "So you're coming with us to Oas?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> Never been on one?
01<@DeathStar> <Other Zeal> Perhaps
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I have. But I do not know anything about picking them
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean's tone is mellow and she peers back out
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, lets go
<Eluere> <Aschae> Oh, neither do I. But they come in all shapes and sizes.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I will see them later.
<Kellin> <Valen> Agreed. 6he turns to move towards the docks.
<Seraphna> Seth> "I like the thought." *he moves for the door*
<Eluere> <Aschae> I see..." 6She lies her head on Jean's shoulder. 1"Maybe I'll just... keep you company, then."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim slides down the banister and front flips onto her feet. 1"Rach! I'm comin'!"
<Seraphna> * Seth steps out, moving for Jean's suite to check on her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes her and there's a look in her eyes, unJean like. "Nell is going to the ship."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks at her and eyes the woman behind he counter almost faint
<Eluere> <Aschae> Yes, I know. She is a grown woman and strong. I'm sure she'll be fine in the company of so many others.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan heads downstairs, she moves over to Rachael.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I see. 6* She goes back to looking out
<Kellin> <Valen> Oh what brigands have invaded this lovely building. 6he says in mock scorn
<Eluere> <Aschae> Are you mad at me?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael walks along the docks, peering at the dozens and dozens of ships.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> No.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim hangs on Rachael's arm, grinning at more prospects.
<Seraphna> * Seth steps in, he looks over to the balcony and looks at Aschae and Jean.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> What kind of ship do we need? A lot of the look like fishing boats
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas joins them quietly, peering about
<Eluere> <Aschae> Am I interrupting?
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I am thinking, that is all. Though talking interrupts that process. 6* She notes indifferently
<Kellin> <Valen> Likely a bigger ship. It will be a long journey and the bigger the ship, the less the...rocking.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Something a lot bigger, perhaps a merchant vessel."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Ships that sail between continents are bigger usually, small ships are rarely worth the crossing and less balanced for turbulant seas.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, there's a lot of big ones. 6* Indeed, there's quite a few docked about. Some are being loaded with large crates
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yeah, plus if we get a ship bound already for Sinai, we can negotiate a lower fee."
<Eluere> 6Aschae chuckles, wraping one arm around Jean's stomach and the other playfully caressing her butt. 1"Does this?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* They range from really big, to big, to medium, to bigger than a fish boat
<Kellin> <Valen> Let's inquire to see if anyone is already plannign to make the trip.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I usually just read the log charts and hide on one." 6She proclaims proudly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks and she shifts's her hand to remove Aschae's. "Yes."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Aschae."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers back at Seth coldly, then out at the ocean
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Where would we find log charts?
<Seraphna> * Seth raises a brow a bit.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I see. I just thought our peeping tom might like it. You're more than welcome to spank me for it. I'm sure he'd like to watch that as well.
<Seraphna> Seth> "No, I wouldn't."
<Kellin> 6* Valen hmms and tries to think, peering around.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I'm not interested. 6* She shifts then leaps right out the window, shifting and landing nimbly on the ground without hurting herself somehow, then moves to walk off
<Eluere> <Aschae> Ah, maybe he's turning over a new leaf, then. I suppose I'm safe." 6She leans on the railing, peering down with a smirk.
<Seraphna> * Seth rubs his forehead. "Didjya have to keep pushing her?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas hears some commotion and people are pointing at some woman walking off, looking blonde; apparantly she did something amazing
<Eluere> <Aschae> My dear, sweet angel. I wonder what she's scheming now." 6She chuckles, giving Seth a look over her shoulder.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Hey, it's Angie!
<Seraphna> Seth> "She wanted to be left alone, woman has a lot to sort out."
<Kellin> 6Valen shrugs slightly. 1There has to be a log around her somewhere.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods thoughtfully, shaking Neph
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers around. "...Huh... I thought she went to her room."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Wheare are they kept?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Her other personality probably had enough of everyone for now. 6* She notes then points at some
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Are those what you want, Valen?
<Eluere> 6Nephilim looks dizzy a moment. 1"O-On ships and the pier harbormaster's buildings.."
01<@DeathStar> 6* She seems to be pointing to a building near the docks
<Kellin> 6* Valen pauses and nods, moving for the harbormaster building. 1yes, thank you.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I don't believe that's what I asked." 6She leans back from the railing, gazing at Seth.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Besides, quality time with our angel is sparing, don't you agree? If you'll excuse me... I have my own matters to attend to.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth follows and Thomas adjusts his glasses. On the wall there's tons of ship information, going all over the place. Only 3 are headed for Sinai in the next two days. Two are merchant ships and one is an expensive transport ship
<Seraphna> Seth> "People don't have to scheme night and day you know. Sometimes they just need to think." *he sighs and turns about, excusing himself and heading downstairs, out, and in the direction the Angel went*
<Kellin> 6* Valen eyesballs the three ships and then glances to the others. 1Let's spread out to these three ships and get some prices.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> *moves with Lenneth and Thomas, she looks over the information* "The Merchant vessels are our best bet."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Alright. I'll try the transport one. 6* She moves off
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I guess I'll try the first transport. 6* He goes that way
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'll try one of the merchants."
01<@DeathStar> 6* By the time he gets down, Seth would see no sign of Jean, being a busy area
01<@DeathStar> *first merchant
<Seraphna> * Kaelan heads that way.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan heads to the second Merchant then.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth seems to stick with Valen
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns and tries to feel her out through the mark.
<Kellin> <Valen> I'll...stand here I suppose. See, giving orders means you don't have to do the work. 6He tells Lenneth.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Is that right?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth would feel nothing. He's been cockblocked completely through the mark
<Kellin> <Valen> Well, it worked this time at least.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> You seem tensed since the inn
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaelan would find the second merchant ship busy being loaded by big burly men
<Seraphna> * Seth lets out a sigh and shakes his head.
<Kellin> <Valen> Me? 6He peers at her quietly for a moment before giving a slight shrug. 1I don't enjoy some of our company.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I see. Aschae, I take it?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tries to get one's attention. She whistles. "Hey! Which one of you handsome men can point me to the man in charge of this ship?"
<Kellin> <Valen> Among others. But my opinion on things means little to everyone.
<Seraphna> * Seth heads back towards the harbor, moving to those conversing after a little bit.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ..." 6She stomps Valen's foot again and runs off
<Kellin> 6* Valen jerks and swears. 1Damnit.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth nods once and moves off herself. "I wish to look around the city." 6* She moves off before Seth arrives
<Seraphna> * Seth comes up, rubbing the back of his head. "How're we making out so far?"
<Kellin> 6Valen nods once and watches her move off, standing there quietly as Seth approaches.
<Kellin> <Valen> Fine. 6He eyes Seth
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men look at Kaelan. "He's busy."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I have a business deal for him." *she toys with her hair a bit* "Perhaps I can see someone about making an appointment?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* the men chuckle. "Yeah, sure, come by later and maybe he'll be here."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Does he have an office somewhere?"
01<@DeathStar> <Man> Nope.
<Kellin> 6* Valen pauses and then steps forward, eyeballing Seth. 1You are an idiot.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs, "Is there a time he's generally around? I'm afraid I can't simply check back from time to time, I have cargo to move to Oas."
<Seraphna> Seth> "...What did I do?"
01<@DeathStar> <Men> He's busy. If you want to move cargo, just tell us how much it is and what it is and we'll name you a price if we can fit it
<Kellin> <Valen> You act like Jean is your one and only, despite her being naive and not ready for such a relationship, and then the moment Carly comes around you're all over her.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Twelve passengers, their belongings, and supplies for the journey. We're not looking for rich accomodations, just transport, we can lend a hand too."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men eye her. "I see. Genders of the 12?"
<Seraphna> Seth> "I..." *he rubs his head* "Ah. I see. When she gets back I'll have a talk with her."
<Kellin> <Valen> You should leave her alone. With Kaelan's messing around and god knows what Aschae does, she doesn't need anymore confusion
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael heads back with Nephilim, assuring her Valen likes her
<Seraphna> Seth> "No, she needs things made solid."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Three men, the rest women."
<Kellin> 6* Valen hmms. 1I sincerely doubt you're the the model of solidity.
<Seraphna> Seth> "I'm firm in how I live my life. If she walks about constantly warping what's going on in her head with ill thoughts, sh'll only poison herself."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men nods. "Well, depending on how much your belongings and supplies are, we don't have a lot of room and we'd have to give up valuable cargo space, so a trip to Sinai's Nagev...200 gold.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "That sounds reasonable. I'll check with my associates and get back to you shortly."
01<@DeathStar> <Men> It won't be rooms; you'd be down with the cargo. 6* He says simply
<Eluere> 6Aschae hums gently, no songbird, but neither trying to advertise such, carrying some thing she's purchased in the market, glancing about as she heads generally back toward the inn on a scenic route
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I didn't imagine otherwise, thank you."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at various shops and looks at outfits, then at people, trying guage what is appropriate
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men go back to work. Rachael reaches Valen
<Kellin> <Valen> Fair enough. 6He glances to Rachael. 1Any luck?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan heads towards the others again.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> 800 gold but we'd have our own rooms and accomodations and meals.
<Seraphna> * Seth rubs his chin.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> This gem's worth at least that.
<Kellin> <Valen> You would sell your gem for us?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Maybe not you." 6She hrmphs.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Jean would like a comfy room I bet."
<Kellin> 6* Valen arches a brow. 1Well I would swim along afterwards I suppose.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Probably, but she would understand, too
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I can always find another gem. Having our own rooms and people to accomodate us would be worth tossing a pretty gem for.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas arrives as well. "500 gold but we don't have to ride in the cargo ... but we have to get our own food."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim crosses her arms haughtily. 1"Besides, I have enough to cover the trip even without selling it. No big deal."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan steps up. "200 gold for a space in the cargo. Our own meals."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Settles it. Gem for our own rooms and private time to do what we want while on a long, rickety ride to the island half of the world.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> We might should get a little food, too, just in case. They didn't say how much we'd get
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I'll take Kael to go find someone worth having this shiney.
<Kellin> 6* Valen bows his head. 1Thank you Nephilim. That's very generous of you.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You're selling the gem...? Naphilim that's... sweet of you..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael kisses Neph's cheek
<Eluere> 6Nephilim pulls down an eyelid and sticks her tongue out at Valen at that, grabbing Kael's wrist and yanking her along at a brisk pace to say the least
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, I guess now we just need to get herbs for Zeal, and good clothing
<Seraphna> * Kaelan eeps and gets dragged along.
<Kellin> <Valen> She's mad at me? 6He asks when Nephilim's out of sight.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Looks like I'm not the only one with woman troubles."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Ah, Lenneth, back so soon?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth glances at her. "I felt like looking around." 6* She notes, glancing at the stores.
<Kellin> <Valen> Mine at least comes from a lack of understanding, not a lack of keeping my...ahem..in my slacks.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Nephilim's a bit... erratic.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> So... Seth... are you and Carly... a couple?
<Eluere> <Aschae> Huhuhu. You should go with the meadowgirl and her maid if you wish to look a noblewoman.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes him
<Seraphna> Seth> "Fair enough. THough mine is always a lack of understanding in some ways."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I have no desire for that. Simple clothes that will last is fine enough for me
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns, looking back towards the inn. "THe girl lived a long life of solidtude, made to think she wasn't human anymore."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Is that so? But you would look splendid in expensive clothes." 6She licks her lips.
<Seraphna> Seth> "She deserves a little happiness, some amount of love. Maybe Jean's washing off on me in that respect... but..." *he frowns*
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hm. I guess simple suits me
<Kellin> <Valen> I must warn you seth, if you hurt Jean and the angel doesn't do anything, I will. 6He says in a low tone.
<Seraphna> * Seth grits his teeth. "Not before I do."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> If you're going to be with her, you can't be with Jean. 6* She says simply
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> It's not fair
<Seraphna> Seth> "I have no intention of hurting Jean. I know."
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns a bit and rubs his face. "I need a drink, and some time to think."
<Kellin> <Valen> Then you had best figure out a way to fix this.
<Eluere> <Aschae> How you've been raised, perhaps. I still think you would look desireable in something worthy of your body..." 6she chuckles, letting her eyes peer her over, then smiles, closing them again. 1"However you're entitled to whatever you like."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I already plan to talk to Kaelan about Jean, since I think her and Mercy are together now
<Eluere> <Aschae> You've lived for others, it wouldn't hurt to live a little for yourself and indulge.
<Eluere> 6Aschae laughs softly, heading back toward the inn with her items.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> If you have a suggestion in mind, I will of course listen. I do not have my own coin after all
<Seraphna> Seth> "You probably don't need to talk to her, but indulge yourself."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I doubt it; she practically ignored Jean in wanting her in the same room, and I can't imagine why Jean would turn her down except to give them privacy
<Eluere> 6Aschae glances back. 1"Oh..? Hm.." 6She moves back, handing her four gold coins. 1"This should be more than plenty for at least something extravagant. Just tell me you will use three at the meadowgirl's behest, and the last coin on whatever you wish to wear besides and eat."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Thank you, Aschae
<Kellin> <Valen> Come. We should go do some shopping. 6He tells Rachael.
<Eluere> <Aschae> No need, 'my lady.'" 6She chuckles for some reason. 1"They are the angel's coins anyway. I shall thank her for them since it pleases me to spend them so."
<Seraphna> * Seth nods and sighs.
<Seraphna> Seth> "I'm going to go find a tavern and drink myself into a solution."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah, and find a place to eat.
<Kellin> <Valen> Don't get too drunk, or else you will be a burden to the others. 6He reminds Seth, then turns to walk off with Rachael.
<Seraphna> * Seth nods, then moves into the crowds, vanishing into them as he seeks a place to get a drink.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael walks alongside Valen, thoughtful. "You know, I don't have a problem with being intimate with more than one person if they're okay with it, ... but JEan's a newborn practically and she's gone along with more than she should out of simple ignorance. Plus I think she feels our urges through the mark.
<Kellin> <Valen> It sickens me quite honestly, how everyone takes advantage of her.
<Kellin> <Valen> Perhaps not everyone, but most of the others. 6He corrects.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah...she doens't like saying no, but in a way I feel she's second choice.
<Seraphna> * Seth slips into a bar and finds a quiet corner, he sits back and stares at his drin after it's brought out, never lifting it to drink. He considers what he has to do now.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> If Seth is with Carly, then Jean is second choice. If Kaelan is with Mercy, then Jean is second choice
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Or MErcy and Carly are.
<Eluere> 6Aschae returns to the inn, heading upstairs to the third floor with her things.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy is busy washing Zeal in the suite's bathtub
<Kellin> <Valen> Either way, it's not right. And Mercy herself seems like she would be easily taken advantage of as well.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah; Mercy's never felt love before. She'd easily accept Kaelan being with Jean
<Eluere> 6Zeal scrubs her back, insistently, since she's no longer 'above it.'
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks embarrassed at least, but speaks softly. "Um, would you be mad if I was .... in love with someone else, Mistress?"
<Kellin> <Valen> I simply do not understand the need for sex. You and I were plenty affectionate without the need for that sort of thing and our bond is stronger than most.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gets dragged along.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Sex feels good, I get that; I've played around, but I've never actually gone all the way. I'd like to save that for someone special. Like how Zeal is saving herself for Thomas.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I hope to have that oen day.
<Kellin> <Valen> You will, and if I feel they're not good enough, I will simply ask them to go away. 6he smirks.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Though I'm going to yank Nephilim's ear if she doesn't grow up around you; if she wants you she needs to quit being jittery with fire
<Eluere> <Zeal> ..." 6She blinks, having been rather clueless to it. 1"Um.. why would I be angry about that? That is a wonderful thing."
<Kellin> 6* Valen nods slightly. 1I don't enjoy the childish striking either.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaelan and Zeal find a wealthy pawn shop
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll talk to her. 6* She huffs
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Thank you. It...caught me off guard. I .. had no idea that Kaelan loved me...but she told me so.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Kaelan..?" 6She tilts her head.
<Kellin> <Valen> I honestly never knew she liked me in that way. I thought it was all jokes, her messing with me since I'm older.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes. 6* She nods.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers at the shop, letting out a breath. "How do you deal with it?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> Interesting... but alright.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> What?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't know. I've...had a crush on her for a long time. I always aspired to be like her. She was like a goddess when I was little. And she made all the women and men crazy for her. But then I find out she's a shy virgin, too. But if she likes you, I understand that. I don't tihnk any man would want me honestly
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Y-You do not .... disprove do you?
<Eluere> <Zeal> Not at all, Mercy.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... you seem able to love more then one person... I can barely get my head around my feelings."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy relaxes and hugs her, but then looks thoughtful. "But she loves Jean more."
<Kellin> 6* Valen pauses in hi step and reaches out to turn her to face him. 1Why would you say that?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Valen. "I'm... a you know what. With a 50% of going insane. The only other guys on our team are Seth and Thomas, and they're tied up with other people. We're not exactly going to find people who want someone in such a dangerous situation. I've always felt equally about guys and girls, but I thought I'd settle down with a man one day and maybe have kids
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> But that's not really likely. The only people who want halflings are slavers.
<Seraphna> * Seth continues to sit quietly, staring at his drink. After a while he shoves it over towards the nearest person and gives them a nod.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The pawn shop man sits behind all his wealthy items; Nephilim would see a goldmine of rare materials
01<@DeathStar> 6* A woman with an eye patch, short black hair, and the same height and build as Jean enters the tavern, glancing around
01<@DeathStar> 6* She's wearing clothing that covers her entire being, a simple tunic and pants
<Kellin> <Valen> Listen to me. You are the most beautiful girl that I know. What we are, does not matter, at all. Any man would be lucky to call you his significant other. I realize that our situation makes things hard but this won't be the rest of our lives, you're young and you WILL find someone special, I promise you that.
<Seraphna> * Seth peers over at her, tilting his head a little, looking her over slowly, as though appraisingly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles and kisses his cheek. "Thank you. I missed hearing you encouraging me."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman sits at an empty table, ignoring people and ordering ale
<Kellin> <Valen> Because I only speak the truth. 6He says in a slight hmph.
<Seraphna> * Seth gets up, he moves over and takes a quiet seat at her table, he sets down the money for her drink.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy peers at the water quietly. The pawn shop owner eyes Kaelan, surrounded by his shinies
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Hey mister! I got something for you.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim hops forward, waving the ruby
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We have a rare gem we came across in our travels."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man eyes the ruby, then holds out his hand for it, getting a monocle to examine it
01<@DeathStar> 6* The woman eyes Seth, her blue eye looking annoyed. "I don't need your money."
<Seraphna> Seth> "It's only common courtesy when a man sits at a lady's table to pay for her drinks."
<Kellin> 6* Valen shifts around and puts his arm around Rachael. 1I thought about taking a knife to my hair, showing off my ears.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles, then begins to look at various places, using her copper to get supplies to make food - mostly grabbing meat and salts for the voyage
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> W-What?
<Eluere> 6Nephilim hands it over. 1"How much do you think it's worth?"
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> I'm not interested.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man eyes it, hmmming, then eyes her. "I'll give you 500 gold."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim bursts out laughing.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> That's a good one!
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm, perhaps you'd be interested in hearing a little story then."
<Kellin> <Valen> I tire of hiding. If it wouldn't cause a strain on the team, I would have already done so.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> I would not
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It's easily worth a thousand."
03* Ametsune (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #Session86
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man eyes her, then Kaelan. "Hah. You wish. 700."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy peers at Zeal, since she had nothing to say to her comment about Kaelan loving Jean more, then goes back to washing her
<Seraphna> * Seth eyes the table. "It's about a man, who doesn't know where to keep his head. And a beautiful woman he's deeply in love with."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I could get at least a thousand selling it to a noble's daughter.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I'm sure you, an experienced haggler, could get more, sir.
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> A boring story to say the least. Though it would appear cutting my hair and dying it is no good if a fool like you catches on
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "700? He's joking, you must be right. Though I might think about letting it go for 900."
01<@DeathStar> 6* He rubs a face. "Fine, 800, but that's it. No more."
<Seraphna> Seth> "It's the way you walk, and the way you refuse a drink."
01<@DeathStar> 6* She shrugs
<Seraphna> Seth> "...Besides, there's a third woman in this tale I was going to spin, and I seem to have a chance to talk to her alone for once."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I--- I wouldn't want people to hurt you, Vale
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I understand gold's hard to part with. How about a thousand in worth? I'll take 800 in coin, and something that you appraise within the range of 150 to 200. Is that fair?
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man shakes his head, handing it back
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Don't be greedy, sis."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We'll take the 800."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> It's not greedy." 6She frowns at Kaelan.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man eyes Kaelan, then Nephilim
01<@DeathStar> <Woman> Let me save you some trouble; I do not care about your tales, Seth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael spends 500 coppers worth on getting materials
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks to Neph. "It seems fair enough sis."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> This shop has many items of much more worth, and a high amount of them. He clearly has buy and holding power, and enough security in it that he's willing to haggle and turn down good offers in favor of more profitable ones.
01<@DeathStar> <Man> You are welcome o try other shops, but you will not find any offers like mine
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Now, you're going to be a merchant aren't you? It's worth learning the trends and techniques, Kael. I don't want to sell you short just because I don't care about the profit I make. I can live off nothing, you can't.
<Seraphna> Seth> "The look as cold as Nuege in high winter speaks of some degree of emotion behind it. I want to know how you feel. Either you took control because she was feeling hurt, or she gave it over to collect her thoughts, either way, I deserve a good flogging."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim holds up a hand to the man, since she's focused on Kaelan. 1"One minute, sir."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Now, it's my gem. If you want to settle for 800, that's fine, but you'll owe me 200 gold. I don't mind.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'll put it on credit for your equipment order." *she smiles*
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel eyes him. "Fine, you want to know my thoughts; stay away from her. She's stupidly naive and you cut her talking to the demon like that. She already figured out you were having sex with her repeatedly a few nights ago. It's hard to keep your thoughts clear when you're in the middle of multiple orgasms."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I know it doesn't seem like it, but I'm pretty good at identifying items myself, Kael." 6she plays with her hair.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Valen, taking his hand. "MAybe after we help the angel, you can show your ears."
<Kellin> <Valen> Oh? Do you think so?
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns. "Does she want me to stay away, while you're being honest."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> It's what I hope. Or maybe Lenneth will help us; she's got the ears, too. I saw them once.
<Kellin> <Valen> Maybe that's why she was willing to help me. 6He muses.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy finishes washing Zeal. "Do you need anything else, m'lady?"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Tch, getting back at me that way, I see how it is. Fine, our relationship is strictly business, then!" 6She huffs.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Perhaps so.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan pouts. "Of course it's not. I was being playful."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim tosses the gem a few times and then snatches it, holding it out to the man. 1"800 it is, my girl is on her way to being a middle-ground merchant."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Middle ground?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man takes it and opens a safe with a key, then pulls out enough gold for them, placing it down
<Kellin> <Valen> Well, all we can do is keep our heads down and persevere thus far.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You settle for the safe deal. You won't meet tragedy that way, but you'll never profit much either.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael buys them more supplies quietly, spending 1000 coppers
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Alright, this should last the weeks we need
<Kellin> <Valen> Odd how Kaelan has all the coin yet you're the one spending your money to help the others.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim jerks her thumb at the broker. 1"This guy's good, though. He'll sell it for fourteen with some story about how it was a national treasure overseas that sunk on a galleon and got caught in a fishing net."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I guess I'm just used to doing it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I... guess I have something to learn about bartering..."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> But he's right. There's no other shop on this street worth going to unless you're looking for trinkets and baubles.
<Kellin> <Valen> Well we should change that.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> She's stupid enough to probably accept any story you feed her.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim peers at the man, grinning. 1"How long've you been here? Twenty-eight years, Eddi?"
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> But I wouldn't have gotten control easily if all of you didn't bother her at once.
<Seraphna> * Seth chuckles. "THen maybe you should listen to mine, since you're not."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man thinks. "Not that long."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> If you can remember all twenty-seven keep a coin for a drink on me you old 'coon.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe so. But she said she's spending money on our equipment and that's probably ghoing to cost a lot more than my buying food supplies. Plus we still need clothing
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> But we need to drop this off at the inn, it's heavy; we'll use Zeal's suite
<Kellin> <Valen> Yes I suppose you're right. 6He smiles and pats his bag. 1I can cover your clothing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles. "I have plenty, Vale, don't worry."
<Kellin> 6* Valen nods and shifts to help carry the load and nods at that. 1Very well. I offered and that gives me bonus affection.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man studies Nephilim, trying to remember her. "Hmmm."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You don't have to worry about bonus affection with me. You're already maxed out."
<Seraphna> Seth> "As I got to know you, both you and Jean, I felt something I haven't felt in years, love for someone else. Maybe it's because you're not like other people, maybe it's because I just need someone. But since I met you, my cold indifference has been melting away. When I landed in Soniere, I realized more then anything, I wanted to see you again."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> He's totally senile. I doubt he even remembers the gem we just sold 'em.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim giggles, then holds a hand up and starts singing an upbeat tune.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You don't know anything about me. Let me put it down for you, Seth; you think with your loins and lust. That's why you are drawn to Carly. That is why you are likely drawn to Jean. But you do not know anything about me and saying you love me only serves to make me more annoyed.
<Kellin> 6* Valen winks at her. 1Well it doesn't hurt for me to try.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Just remember, when you shatter Jean with your stupidity, that means I have to clean up
01<@DeathStar> <Man> Oh. Nephilim. You look just as I remember
<Seraphna> Seth> "When I shatter her, I welcome you to end my life. I don't want to, nor do I plan to do that."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim laughs. 1"Nice try, Eddi. Maybe you'll win the coin next time."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Then stay away from her; have that Kaelan stay away from her, too. She's happy enough as it is that she doesn't need you two ruining it for her. Kaelan trying to force herself on her. You claiming you love her after having sex with another woman. Just. Leave. Her. Alone.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel rises and moves to go
<Seraphna> Seth> "Wait."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel eyes him coldly iwth her one eye
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, giggling, and moves along with Valen abck to the inn, moving in. "Well, since our rooms doesn't have personal baths, maybe we can borrow Zeal's."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I'd like to get clean before buying clothes
<Kellin> <Valen> You should check that it's vacant before asking me.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I will. She won't mind if I walk in. You rest in your room and I'll let you know when it's clear for us.
<Kellin> NRP: getting me.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Also... you think JEan is okay? Was that really her that we saw walking off?
<Kellin> 6* Valen nods to her. 1Alright. 6He moves to step into the room.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man hmphs
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Aw, don't be sore over a lousy coin." 6She leans over the counter and gives Eddi a brief kiss.
<Kellin> 6* Valen pauses and peers at her. 1I"m not sure. I could look for her if you want.
<Seraphna> Seth> "I'll sort it all out. If I can't bring myself to be loyal to Jean, I will stay away. You have that promise from me. My motivations..." *he pauses, he shakes his head* "I'll sort it out or I'll stay away from her. Sit down, please, you spend so much time telling us we don't know you, let me get to know you."
01<@DeathStar> 6* 'Eddi' blinks and looks blushed
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes too.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Until next time!" 6She waves cheerfully, leaving Kaelan to collect the gold.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I don't want to get to know you. 6* She says simply. "Like I said, you don't know the first thing about me. I know you sacrificed a lot for Jean, but don't confuse that with me. I may be appreciative, but I also tried to get you to go away."
01<@DeathStar> 6* She walks out this time without stopping
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael shakes her head. "If the angel is control, finding her might be bad."
<Seraphna> * Seth stays where he is, he waits a little bit and then leaves a tip for the waitress before stepping out.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael heads up to Zeal's suit and knocks. Mercy's finished the bath since Zeal never spoke anymore
<Kellin> <Valen> You might be right. 6He mumbles and steps back into his room.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan collects the gold and steps out after Neph.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel returns to the inn finally and knocks on Valen's door
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Even after thinking on it I am unsure what to say, Mercy. Kaelan is... both very foolhearty and naive herself. I do not think she means to play with your feelings. She is loyal to the angel in her own strange way and I think she's confused herself over what she wants out of any relationship.
<Kellin> 6* Valen peers up from staring out the window, glancing over to the angel, he arches a brow. 1Come in.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I do not mind if she loves Jean. I understand I am a simple serving woman
<Ametsune> <Zeal> She tried to take ideas from lady Hilund, however, Kaelan was raised in the Sinai north... not Matias woodlands or any other natives... the ideas of how to share one's affections and love are very... different.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel eyes him, stepping in. "I see you too were not fooled. Do you care if I stay in this room for a time? I do not care to be in my own room and teased by Aschae's hand. And I do not feel like returning control to Jean either."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy peers down, nodding. "It is okay."
<Seraphna> * Seth returns to the inn and slips into his own room.
<Ametsune> <Zeal> So I cannot say which she loves more, or why she would neglect you when saying such things. It is something you would need to ask her yourself and be completely straightforward." 6She takes Mercy's chin. 1"No, it is not."
<Kellin> <Valen> You can stay here as long as you need. If you wish I can step out and give you some personal time
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks at her. "I am just lucky she loves me. I have always known her feelings for Lady Jean. That she included me is... kind of her."
<Ametsune> <Zeal> In a matter of love, there are not statuses, Mercy. You must be honest with your feelings and you must know that her's are the same. Please, do it for yourself, or I wil--" 6She pauses, peering at their door.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy glances as well. Lenneth returns to the suite and sits on the bed with one bag. Since she promised to spend the rest with Zeal
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> That is alright; you have no agendas or feelings toward me. I will be quiet and you can ignore that I am here. 6* She sits in a chair in the corner,
<Ametsune> 6Aschae is in the bed, eyes closed and apparently sleeping, only taking up one edge of one side under the blankets.
<Seraphna> * Seth lays down on the bed and holds his head. "Maybe I should have had the beer."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at Aschae, then pokes her side once
<Ametsune> 6Zeal smiles sheepishly at Mercy. 1"Please, Mercy, for your own sake." 6She lets her go, moving to answer the door.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Carly peers at Seth
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> Well, I'm not beer, but I'd be glad to get you drunk on pleasure
01<@DeathStar> 6* She says in her own form
<Kellin> <Valen> Very well. 6He shifts over and closes the door then moves back to the window to peer out. 1Do you dislike me?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael waves. "Mind if I store the supplies in your suite? It's bigger than my room."
<Ametsune> 6Aschae stirs slightly, making a slight sound, then shifts onto her back, one arm moving over her head as it turns, her lips opening slightly. 1"..."
<Seraphna> * Seth grabs her and pulls her close, sighing. "I hurt Jean."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Dislike you? Why would I dislike you?
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Oh, yes, please do, lady Hilund.
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> How? 6* She shifts to straddle him, already naked
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves them in. "Also, can we use your bath later? Me and Valen that is." 6* She kisses her cheek and puts them up orderly in the corner
<Kellin> <Valen> I betrayed you. I know you already don't enjoy most of the company of this group. I cannot imagine I would be one of the few you would like.
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Of course.
<Seraphna> * Seth looks up at her, running a hand down her body. "She realized we were doing it, that night in the cavern. Seems she really did take it hard." *he frowns, recalling a dream* "I wonder..."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You did it to protect your sister. I am a possible threat to the world. Why would I hold it against you? At least you did something honest unlike everyone else who thinks they feel something for Jean, but also want more."
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> Mmm, so talk to her. I don't mind sharing you. 6* She kisses along his chest
<Seraphna> * Kaelan slows on the walk back, sighing. "I really need to think for a bit."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Soooo.... you and Thomas all alone in this room. 6* She grins impishly
<Kellin> <Valen> I will try to protect Jean for you, but I fear that I'm not exactly part of the group, I only know what I can gleam from their actions or from Rachael.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy washes herself thoughtfully
<Seraphna> Seth> "Is that fair to either of you?"
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> My first lesson that rough? My bad, ha ha ha.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You are part of the group; Jean is thrilled you're back. She's always liked you. That hasn't change. You could stab her and later apologize and she would accept it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No... it's about Jean."
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> Sure. 6* She shrugs
<Ametsune> <Zeal> P-Possibly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles and hugs Zeal onto the bed. "Going to do anything naughtyyyyy?"
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> What, you molesting her again?
<Ametsune> 6Zeal jerks, falling with her and eyes her. 1"Of course not!"
<Kellin> <Valen> Yes, that troubles me. Shouldn't you maintain control to keep control of the wandering hands of this group?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth leans in to kiss the lips once to see what Aschae does
<Seraphna> * Seth toys with her hair. "Do you love me? You told me... you've only been with me, that way."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> So you are saying I should surpress Jean, the one the group adores, to keep her 'safe'?
<Ametsune> 6Aschae seems to barely move, actually sleeping rather than acting, briefly stirring after a moment while Lenneth kisses her.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "The fact that I did."
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> Yes, you're the only man I've been with in such a way, and you took my virginity. Love you? I don't know. 6* She says honestly. "I'm a demon. I just run on emotions really. I haven't thought about love. IF you were killed I would be upset and would torture whoever did it..."
<Kellin> <Valen> Maybe not immediately, but if they can't keep control of themselves it may be your only option. That body is yorus as well and their molestation of her, is taking advantage of you as well.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth kisses her softly and gently, not aiming to wake her really, then lays down next to her and puts her arms around her
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I'm aware. But even RAchael would be angered if I surpressed Jean all the time and denied her experiences of the world.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I'm not the one they follow; they follow Jean
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> ..." 6She makes a face at Kaelan. 1"Yeesh, you felt her up or whatever. Get over yourself. I'm trying to teach you to grow up a bit and get what you want. Get it? So I decided to help you go after your trade, but it applies to all things in life, Kael."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> You have to know what you want, then you decide how to get it. If you can't even sort out your own feelings, don't play with others'
<Kellin> <Valen> Yes. I suppose you're right. 6He rubs his face slowly. 1Things were simpler whenever we first started this adventure.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "That's the thing. I think I know what it is I want, and how I feel now."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What's bothering me is thinking about how Jean will feel."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> So go get it." 6She shifts, leaping to bounce between the walls of two buildings and head for the rooftops. 1"I'm going to get mine!"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Alright! Be careful!"
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> They were. Maybe after this they will leave Jean alone and she will be happy again. 6* She shrugs her shoulders. "Seth thinks he loves me and Jean and we've barely spoken. Perhaps they do not know what they want in life. Perhaps Jean's innocence and love for them all encourages them. I don't know. I just know she's happy with you all as a family
<Seraphna> * Seth looks into her eyes. "HOw would you feel if I ever had to choose, and chose Jean?"
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> If... that's what you want. 6* She shrugs and looks to the side.
<Seraphna> * Seth kisses her cheek. "I did say what if, didn't I?"
<Kellin> <Valen> Maybe I should speak with Jean, try to get her to understand...well I believe first I would need to understand. 6He hmms. 1I strayed once, but you have my as an ally now. I want nothing from you, but if you need my assistance, let me know.
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> Yeah, but you love her. And she's one of those women you got to commit to. I'm a demon. 6* She shrugs, getting off of him. "I get it. We had our fun."
<Seraphna> Seth> "You don't seem to get it."
<Seraphna> * Seth grabs her and pulls her back.
<Seraphna> Seth> "I asked you a question, but you've answered it anyway, you would be hurt."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel nods once. "Jean's emotions are affected by those around her. The more people lust for her, the more it confuses her. I'm shocked she's gone this long with only mild sexual teasing to her body."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Carly eyes him. "I don't have feelings to 'hurt'."
<Ametsune> 6Aschae stirs after a moment and opens her magenta eyes slightly. 1"..Mrn... Lenneth..?"
<Kellin> <Valen> Pity she can't feel my emotions. I'm like a rock. Cold and emotionless. 6He jokes.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Liar." 6She calls, crouched in the window to Valen's room.
<Seraphna> * Seth eyes her. "You really think you can hide that from me? You seem to have plenty of feelings, you run on emotions, remember?"
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> No mark. Perhaps a wise choice on your part. I wouldn't trust me either.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Angel eyes Nephilim
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> ER...just lust feeling. Hmph
<Kellin> <Valen> Perhaps I simply do not trust myself. 6He muses, then glances to Nephilim. 1Hello.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits with Zeal and tickles her sides. "You should. Thomas loves you."
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim shifts, sitting on the sill without entering the room formally, kicking her feet. 1"He's a boy with a stick."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> They're all fearless with their sticks.
<Kellin> <Valen> Are you talking about me?
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> The cute you.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> This is one who cannot sort her feelings either. Perhaps you should simply shut her up with a kiss like everyone else
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim laughs, holding her hand up. 1"I forgot you grew up into immoveable rock you."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Heh... Carly, you matter to me. That's why this is hard. If I didn't have feelings for you, I would be kicking you out and waiting for Jean. I care for you both and... I don't know why I'm..." *he frowns, looking away, he gets up and walks to the window, looking out of it, as though something just hit him*
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Woah there. You're saying your feelings are all sorted out, Angie?
<Kellin> 6Valen blinks as he looks between them.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan steps into her suite. "Mercy?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Carly shifts to eye Seth. "Look, I play around with others. Not men, but other women, to get my blood. I like it. You go to commit to the person you want all along. I'm fine with what we did and will move on."
<Ametsune> 6Zeal jerks, shifting and trying to stifledly laugh. 1"Ah! Rach, s-stop that... eehee.."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy isn't in it. She washes her dirty clothes on Zeal's side
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael quits, but smiles. "I just want you to be happy, narvan; you're so lucky."
<Kellin> <Valen> Did you have luck selling the gem Neph?
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I did not have feelings to sort out; I simply wanted to be away from others' feelings
<Kellin> <Valen> I am an emotionless rock. A safe haven for the Angel.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves to Zeal's room and knocks.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Enough to get us past, yes. I gave Kael a little lesson in the real world of buy and sale since she's keen on it.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Zeal's busy right now being interrogated sexyally by Rachael. Stop by again in 10 mins when I have her singing
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy, wearing a towel, moves to open the door for Zeal
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "U-Ummm... o-okay."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Really, now? If you were emotionless you'd be boring. Even to Angie. I think you just lack the mark and therefore aren't a blaring emo-siren.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Oh, hi Kaelan; I'm washing my clothing
<Kellin> <Valen> Even if I had the mark I would be able to keep my emotions in check.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes, looking at her. "D-Do you want me to wait in our room?"
<Ametsune> <Zeal> A-Aha... Sh-She is lying! Lying, ahaha!
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> He also isn't touching me constantly and trying to use the mark to seduce me
01<@DeathStar> <MErcy> I will be there soon, yes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She smiles
<Seraphna> * Seth peers back at her. "I killed my sister."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I-I've been seducing you?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh, am I? 6* She pulls her over his lap, paddling
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> No, actually.
<Ametsune> 6Zeal wails, whimpering embarassedly.
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> I know. ... I'm ... sorry.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Oh, good. You see, I have this second personality and I just can't keep track of her...
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm going to make you irrestiable to Thomas; a little perfume, the right outfit
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods, she leans over, kissing Mercy's cheek, then heads for her room.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel eyes Nephilim
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim smirks at the Angel, giving Valen a wink.
<Kellin> <Valen> You have...two personalities...that explains so much.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy goes back to wash her outfit
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim reels.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> If anything, you are an innocent like Jean; Rachael's gotten the upper hand on you due to your shy nature
<Kellin> 6Valen looks amused now. 1I find it humorous that the Matias people of the group are the least sexual ones in the group. Maybe it's because of how open our people were int he village.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Everyone has stuff to sort out in their lives. You don't remember any of yours, right, Angie? I hope you don't find us all annoying because you think you're better than our incessant emotional irritances.
<Seraphna> * Seth licks his lips a little. "When it came down to a choice between Jean, the Angel... and my own sister. I chose Jean. I think that I'm still reeling from what I did. I'm dangerous. I'm dangerous to everyone."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I have never thought myself better.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Most people are... just looking for a way to escape from their own realities. Make believing that there's something better.
<Kellin> <Valen> I don't do that. 6He notes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She sighs. "This is why I let Jean in control; you all do not understand me."
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> Jean's told you she loves you, right? She'd sense if you were dangerous, wouldn't you?
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> You don't make any effort that I see to let us. I'd be glad know you. It's pretty sad not having anyone to confide in. I know the feeling." 6She kicks her feet.
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> People do stupid things for love. She's innocent and pure. I get it. You desire that
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> ... I... ....
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> But you do have 'the rock' here. So I understand if you don't need me.
<Seraphna> * Seth looks down. "THe Angel might think I lose control in lust, but that's far from the things I hide... so far from the real beast inside of me."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I do not want to know people. 6* She mumbles
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Oh... well... I thought I didn't want to know people. Pari changed that for me.
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> I've seen a little of it. It doesn't scare me. I'm guessing it doesn't scare Jean, either, or she'd remove the mark
<Kellin> 6* Valen snorts a slight laugh at that. 1The rock...6he shakes his head slightly before peering at the Angel then Nephilim.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> So maybe I can't relate. Not knowing people is too sad.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> ... And what happened to PAri?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan pulls off her booths and trousers, looking at herself in a mirror as she starts to pull off the blouse and then her eyeguard.
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim sulks visibly, even her ears dropping some. 1"He died."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy arrives in her room finally in a cleaned outfit
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> .... that is why I don't want to get to know people. 6* She says. "I killed Dahok, you know." 6* She says
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> He was murdered, I guess is more appropriate. Because he was a thieving halfling.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks up, in the middle of removing her armor.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy smiles. "Should I get the bath ready for you, Kaelan."
<Kellin> <Valen> I thought Seth killed Dahok.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I... sure."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> It's why I don't like the fact that Valen's picked up some of my bad habits.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Don't think I haven't noticed, Val." 6She hrmphs.
<Kellin> <Valen> Me? I have no bad habits. 6he says indignantly
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> He killed his body; I saved his soul through the mark and kept him inside us. But then I destroyed his soul completely as power to beat the God-GEneral. Everyone you know dies. Everyone around me will die. Each death will crush Jean, too.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I don't recall offering to teach you to pick locks or lighten people's pockets... you learned on your own, you naughty little boy.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She gets up. "I think I will go to the roof. I am sorry I am not one to confide in."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Hm, you know, Angie.
<Seraphna> * Seth breathes in. "I've hurt too many women in my life. One was enough. I don't want you to come away from me with scars. I don't want you to feel we can't be close either."
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> Scars? I'm a demon, Seth. I've had sex with others - women mostly. Because they're easier to get blood from. And certain ones are..enjoyable to tease. Nothing you can do will hurt me. Pick your Jean. Let her heal your soul.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gets up, unclothed, following Mercy to the bathroom.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She gets up again, shifting into her Zeal form with outfit
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy moves and begins to add hot water to the tub
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel glances at Neph
<Seraphna> * Seth walks over, picks her up, and kisses her. He makes it seem like the other night's attentions were next to nothing as he intends to show her how much he feels for her.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I don't particularly like that bothersome woman that hangs around you and Lenneth-- but she says some interesting things once in a while. I'll admit to spying on her..." 6She fiddles with her hair in nervous habit.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Carly Zeal blinks. "W-What are you doing? You keep this up and you're not going to gtet Jean."
<Kellin> <Valen> I learned what I needed. 6He notes, before glancing to the Angel and then Nephilim.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Yes. Well. I don't trust JEan alone with her either.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Angel looks at Valen, assuming he learned she's a monster
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> But she and you are both right about that. Everyone dies.
<Seraphna> * Seth puts her down gently. "Some cultures call that a parting kiss. I want you to know you're not rejected, that I still have feelings, even if I stop acting on them."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Carly just nods. "Good luck in Oas and with her."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Everything dies. But like she said. It's part of what makes life beautiful. It can't last forever.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> ...
<Seraphna> Seth> "You're welcome to come you know. I'm not the only person in this group that cares about you."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> There's nothing wrong with fearing that... I do... I just...
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Then why are you so closed off if losing people hasn't hurt you? You put up masks towards other. I know you have a connection to those three, yet you hide behind this guise
<Seraphna> * Kaelan watches her fondly.
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> And miss out on the people here? Ha ha. That's okay. 6* She shrugs, then opens the door
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim peers down quietly. 1"I didn't say I was dealing with it the best... We all have our problems. Maybe I can't explain it very well like that dirty woman."
<Kellin> <Valen> Being that I have been dead at one point, I must say that I cherish every moment I have with Rachael and Nephilim because I know that life is fleeting. 6He chimes in.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> ... I guess you and I aren't different...Nephilim...but half of these people worship the group Jean walks on, the other half wants to use her. I'd rather not let my guard...down
<Seraphna> * Seth nods a little. "Offers still open if you feel like savouring blood of the other continent. Zeal comes from there, you know."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I regret it, I guess. I doubt even Pari knew that I gave a damn. It took him dying for me to even realize I had or wanted any connection to... anything. You think I'm bad now-- I'm glad you can't see me when I was little.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I can't explain why the idea of being close to anyone bothers me... but...I feel everyone I ever knew died
<Kellin> <Valen> Hmm, losing everything you hold close would be very terrible. I understand your guard if that truly happened.
01<@DeathStar> <Carly> I had my fun with Zeal; she's with Thomas now. 6* She shrugs and steps out quickly without another word, never looking back at him
01<@DeathStar> 6* Angel looks at Nephilim. "I... can see a little of your memories, Nephilim. I know you have not had it easy. If it makes you feel better, Jean loves you dearly and would talk to you about anything you wanted
<Seraphna> * Seth watches her go, feeling a pang of regret, he grips the door as he follows her every motion as she leaves. He considers running after her, begging forgiveness and going one way, instead he just quietly watches.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Angel twitches at something, peering to the side
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> That fool
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I know she would. So would Rachael-- and maybe even Valen here. Is it supposed to make me feel better that you're offering Jean to me as a sympathetic ear? I'm trying to say, Angie-- you're not some kind of convenient body lying around. You were interesting to me. I want to be here. You're not some tool to me, though. I have my own life to live. And I'm doing it how I want.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> ... 6* She looks back at Nephilim. "Were interesting."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You came to me because you wanted to unlock your abilities and learn more about yourself.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Yep. But if you were some jerk or a boring old maid I wouldn't have thought twice. You know any of my memories and know I'm not lying.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy finishes the warm water bath and motions Kaelan in
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves over into the water. "Join me?"
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I'll sing songs for Jean, and I'll offer my hand to you, but the moment you tell me I'm just another bothersome emotional wreck... I'm gone.
<Kellin> 6* Valen watches Nephilim quietly.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I have never considered any of you emotional wrecks... or ... bothersome... even Seth who just thrown away a woman he told he loved. I ... ... cannot be close to you all.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I'm not in the business of making anyone but church officials and the rich miserable. I know how to disappear into the night... and I know how to watch my loved ones from afar.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I'd rather be alone. 6* She mumbles. "But Jean loves you all too much; that's why I give her the control. And she would be hurt if you disappeared into the night."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> You can't close yourself off completely, Angie. You have to live to live. Just existing can't be called a life.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I'd know." 6She shrugs.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Two people can't be in one body. Even if Jean is the fake, sooner or later, one of us will have to go.
<Seraphna> * Seth sits down on the bed and puts his head in his hands.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> It might as well be
01<@DeathStar> *me
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim hops down from the window sill, marching toward Jean
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> If you wiush to be washed.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Angel eyes her, while Mercy undresses
<Kellin> <Valen> You sound like me. 6He notes wth an amused look to the Angel.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I wish to be with you..." *she says in a soft voice*
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Too much like him! Self-sacrificing goody-two shoes!
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> You are with me! 6* She notes and smiles
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Me? Goody-two shoes? I destroyed a soul simply because it was convinent. That person will never exist again
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim pushes Jean toward the bed Valen's at. 1"It's why you'd make a black spot of a thief!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Angel makes a noise and hits the bed, eyeing her and shifting to sit up
<Seraphna> * Kaelan pulls her close and into the water, looking into her eyes. "I love you."
<Kellin> <Valen> I'm more than a thief. 6He notes simply.
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim huffs and starts spanking her over the bed like Rachael's done. 1"Quit. Doing. That! Bad. Girl. Bad. Girl!" 6She notes, even stealing the words, likely.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Angel jerks and shifts to grab Nephilim's hand
<Kellin> 6* Valen pauses and stares. 1Nephilim, that is...a bad idea.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Hmf. Rachael spanks me when I do something wrong. Whatever. As if I care if it's a bad idea, I'm a master thief.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> So what if you're two people, three people, a hundred people in one body.
01<@DeathStar> 6* the angel shifts and yanks Nephilim onto the bed, then puts a foot on her back, keeping her pinned now
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Boohoo! You're still people. You still exist, you still matter--aiee!" 6She flails.
<Kellin> 6* Valen ahems. 1She does have a point. 6He notes to the Angel.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> .......... Tell me something, Nephilim. 6* She says neutrally. "Why do you even care what I think? I told you I'd rather be alone. I don't care to see people die around me. I never asked any of you to follow me. Even if I don't find you bothersome outside those who abuse Jean, I don't want to invest emotions in friendships. One of the first times I was drawn out (cont)
01<@DeathStar> was to hear I would be the cause of many, many more deaths like Kaelan's father.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You have a friend in Jean. I only come out when she can't control her emotions or when the team needs to be led by a firm hand
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> And that's the problem. Who's the real infant!" 6She hrmphs stubbornly, squirming.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan kisses her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy returns the kiss. "I love you, too."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> .......
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I don't find either of you any more mature than the other. Just because I'm Jean's friend means I can't be yours? You're afraid of death so you'll just hide away in some corner of the mind until Jean can't handle it? You sound more scared than her.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I'm not scared.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She lets go
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I'm tired.
<Kellin> <Valen> Have you been dealing with this sort of thing since before the lot of us found you?
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim turns over, puffing her cheeks. 1"Then drink some coffee and face the sunshine. Life's too short to be so bitter. You're technically not even as old as I am and you're acting like some battle-weary elder
<Seraphna> * Kaelan feels down her sides and looks at her. "I mean it... I've... been really irresponsible lately. I've been lost in my own little world and I think it's snapping into place for me now. I love you Mercy."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I remember nothing before I met you all. I can barely even visualize the outline of my mother. I only know in my heart everyone I loved died. And since I've come into this world, I've been hunted, hated, told that I'm a bringer of death, and had people push upon my ideals of what they think they want
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I only wanted one thing out of you-- for you to want.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel eyes her, then smiles almost creepily. "Alright. I want you to show me how it's done - how to get close to people. How to open up and let my guard down."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Be my guide and friend and show me the way to do it
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Running away from it all, deciding it's too difficult. You're tired. I can't accept that. You're the 'angel.' Gods fear you. You must have some great power... but you're not even going to seek it?
<Kellin> 6* Valen shudders slightly.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Sure, I wanted to know mine. Because I might be able to better myself, those I love, the world, even.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel ignores Nephilim's last line, since she has been seeking the power
<Seraphna> * Seth closes his eyes and lays back, humming an old dirge.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Maybe you can bring the old world you've forgotten back. Your mother. Everyone. Maybe that's why the gods want you gone.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I know you do, Kaelan. You've told me before. 6* She smiles
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Maybe; but that's irrelevant right now. Holding out for some lofty dream and hope. Right now is the present. I've been seeking these powers and fighting people who want me dead for reasons I don't know. But that's not what I said I watned
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I told you what I wanted
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> You want me to teach you how to love again?
<Kellin> <Valen> I don't believe she said love.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I told you. I want you to show me how to get close to epople and open up, let my guard down, and guide me as a reason. Love, I'm not interested in right now. Well, not intimate love at least
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Exactly, love. You won't open up. You don't grasp the concept of loving anyone.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Hm. If I'm going to berated after asking you as a friend to guide me, forget it
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> If Valen's an emotional rock, then so's your heart.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits back, sighing a little. "Sorry, my minds in a million places. Before I met Jean, I was stubborn in my thinking, I did what I thought was right and even kicked people into doing it with me if they cast doubt, lately it's like I lost the drive. When I met Jean, a lot of bad things happened to me, the last bits of my life fell apart and I looked to her for something to make me (cont)
01<@DeathStar> 6* She turns and moves for the door
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Feel whole again."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Berated..?! I'm speaking honestly, geez. Forgive me for being rude.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel looks at her. "You are also misguided if I don't grasp the concept of love." 6* She steps out, a look of pain in her eyes, and slams the door shut
01<@DeathStar> *if you think
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I know you love Lady Jean. She means much to you. And you mean much to her as well
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I'm not misguided at all. Part of love is allowing yourself even knowing the risks and pain it can cause." 6She eyes the door glumly.
<Kellin> 6* Valen hmms. 1Hm. She is quite the mystery.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yeah... I love her. Bit... not the same way I love you. I love Zeal too, and Rachael, and Nephilim."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Heck I even love the boys somewhat."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel stands in the hallway, looking upset, and moves down it toward the lobby. "That is what I get for reaching out - a lecture on that I'm stone."
<Kellin> <Valen> Maybe you should apologize to her? 6He glances to Nephilim.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Not really. But I think I'm a bad teacher. I got lippy with Kael over the gem, too.
<Kellin> <Valen> Teaching is difficult. Maybe next time I will take care of it. 6He smirks.
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns a little, listening, thuogh he seems asleep.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I think I'd rather leave it to Zeal. As Angie said, I can't even come to grips with myself.
01<@DeathStar> 6* MErcy shakes her head a little. "You are saying this because you think I will be upset that you love Lady Jean. I know how you felt - you told me clearly. My only worry is where I will fit into things with you two."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I am glad to have a little of your heart. I do not need it all
<Kellin> <Valen> You can rely on me by the way. TO have someone to talk too that is.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Oh yeah, sure. The guy who says things like 'my thoughts don't matter to anyone.'
<Kellin> <Valen> I wasn't meaning you or Rachael.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks into her eyes. "You're not second to Jean."
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim hops to her feet. 1"That kind of stuff pisses me off. I'm not ready to love you, turn myself over to you right now. But I still can't help feeling jealous or annoyed with that kind of statement."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I am glad.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Well, be careful what you say... my little girl's heart will break." 6She snerks, moving to close the window, then heads for the door.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel leaves the inn once more and steps into the night
<Ametsune> <Aschae> ..." 6She strokes Lenneth's hair, peering toward the window.
<Kellin> 6* Valen hmms. 1Not ready to love me, hm? Try to refrain from injurying me and we'll be alright I believe.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth sleeps, shifting against her at the stroking
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Yeah. I try. But you really make me mad." 6She sniffs, closing the door after she goes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael bumps into Nephilim while Thomas peeks in on Zeal
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Lenneth...
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Hey, Zeal
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh, hey, Neph - want to bathe with us?
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Yes, Thomas?
<Kellin> 6* Valen watches her go and mumbles something, then shift over to the window to open it back up, sitting on the seal to lean against the frame and peer out at the city.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Maybe later, Rach. I have ...some things to do right now.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Mmmmm? 6* Thomas shifts to lay on the bed, glancing at her. "Just making sure you were the real Zeal. I saw Carly leaving the inn and walking away from the docks. She did not look happy. And ignored when I called out."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh. ... ... Are you okay, narvan? 6* She asks worriedly
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Yeah. I'm pretty happy actually." 6She smiles at Rachae, then skips off.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael frowns, watching her go, and steps into Valen's room, looking troubled
<Ametsune> <Zeal> I-- I should go after her and find out what is wrong.
Session Time: Wed Sep 29 00:00:00 2010
<Kellin> 6* Valen peers over towards her. 1I am popular. 6He notes, getting an amused look.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I fear she is long gone; she took one of the horses
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I do not think she would do that if she intended to remain in the city
<Seraphna> * Kaelan pulls her close, starting to wash her. "So how did things go with Zeal tonight?"
<Ametsune> <Zeal> I have to try. I owe that much.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> We spoke a little; she gave me permission to pursue a relationship with you
<Ametsune> <Aschae> She's leaving us... I think. Should I go?
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Why? 6* He looks confused. "I know she did .... something to you in those caverns. Rachael wouldn't tell me."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well good... I'll do my best not to screw it up." *she smiles softly*
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Who is leaving us?
<Ametsune> 6Aschae smiles softly at Lenneth, stroking her hair away from her face. 1"The owner of this room."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Jean? Or the angel?
<Ametsune> <Zeal> ... I-It is not that, Thomas. I am sorry.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> The angel, specifically for once.
<Kellin> 6* Valen pauses. 1Are you alright, Rachael?
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I do not understand, but that is okay. I trust you, Zeal. 6* He kisses her hand. "If you feel you need to do this, I will support you. Do you want me to come with you?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Just worried about Nephilim. Something felt ... off
<Ametsune> <Zeal> I would think your presence might run her off." 6She smiles sheepishly, then kisses his cheek and rises quickly to leave
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> She wanted to go to OAs; she can't leave until the ships leave. Also I do not think she would leave the group - Jean would take control again at some point and would be upset and vulnerable without the group. Unless you meant she was staying somewhere else for the night
<Kellin> <Valen> She started to get the Angel to open up, but then ruined it. She also told me that she's not ready to love me.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I understand. Be careful
<Ametsune> <Aschae> It's difficult to explain, but I feel what I feel. That is all. If you'd prefer I left her alone and stayed with you, that's fine...
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh. I'm sorry... 6* She sighs. "I knew Nephilim was vulnerable. I teased her a little myself because I always remembered her being so confident and outgoing and I flustered her; it's why when I grope her she flusters so easily. I'd like to get to know her better. I think of her like a sister.
<Ametsune> 6Zeal takes up her bow, nodding. 1"I will."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> No. Of course not. I am not the jealous sort. The angel going off alone could be very bad.
<Seraphna> * Seth rose, stepping out of his room again.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas takes his notebooks out to study while she's gone and to take his mind off worrying
<Ametsune> 6Aschae chuckles. 1"No.. I mean if you desired me to stay with you, I would. Not that I feel you jealous or less a person."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well, I could go with you to find her if you want.
<Kellin> <Valen> I realize I should watch what I say as well.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> The group's been doing so good for so long. Why is all this happening now?
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Do you personally wish to speak with her?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> We haven't had any troubles for so long...
<Kellin> <Valen> You also haven't had me for so long. 6He points out.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I think seeing me would not be best - honestly. She might not loike what I represent
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. That hurt a lot, but I was the only one out of sorts. Everyone else was doing fine. And you coming back didn't cause all this
<Ametsune> 6Aschae kisses her once, smiling. 1"You represent yourself. You've proven that to me at least."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan starts washing Mercy's hair. "Anything on your mind?"
<Ametsune> 6Aschae then stirs, shuffling out of the bed and getting her staff to follow the angel. 1"I'll return shortly, one way or another..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth nods. "Becareful."
<Kellin> <Valen> Yes I suppose you're right. Maybe it's just that everything has been building up till now and it's finally all exploded?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks. "No, you have settled any thoughts in my mind."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe; I guess it's bound to happen. Kaelan loving Jean, Seth loving Jean, Seth being a hounddog.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Plus we've been traveling nonstop a while. Maybe it's good we'll get to sleep for 2 days before getting on a boat that's tailored to travel
<Kellin> <Valen> I have no qualms about hitting anyone. Just let me know. 6He winks.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods and smiles softly. "Alright. I'm going to get the boat arranged after this and tomorrow we'll see about getting a forge set up so I can turn out some weapons before we leave."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael laughs. "Lets go bathe then."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> You will make some beautiful weapons
<Kellin> 6* Valen shifts off of the window. 1Perhaps I enjoy being smelly. Flaunting my nautral odors. 6He smirks and moves with her.
<Seraphna> * Seth steps out and into the night, moving to track Jean again. Perhaps more to just get things off of his mine.
<Seraphna> *mind
<Ametsune> 6Aschae pauses, peering over at Seth, then looks amused.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel seems to have gone to Phan and Pher's tavern since her guard dropped due to Nephilim
<Seraphna> * Seth looks back. "...We think too alike at times." *he moves for the tavern*
03* Kellin is now known as XanTopDangerClose
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Out for a drink, too, then?
<Ametsune> 6Aschae closes her eyes now as she usually has them and walks at her own pace.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm. Maybe. I just broke one heart tonight, hoping to avoid a second."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Bad reasoning, but I won't stop you since I lack details and may find it amusing either way.
01<@DeathStar> 6* PHan and PHer's tavern is briming with loud noises and music. People stumble out drunk
<Seraphna> * Seth moves into the tavern.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Girls in skimpy outfits serve trays of ale and alcohol to the men and women inside; it looks like a loud happy crowd, with tables packed
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Though I can't say I'm privvy to way the angel would be here.
<Seraphna> * Seth peers around for the only one that matters to him, his eyes actually failing to linger over the serving girls.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Because elven maidens make water and time flows like a river."
<Ametsune> 6Aschae glances around for elves.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Never mind the ranting madman with a stick." *he sighs and peers about for Jean*
01<@DeathStar> 6* No elves are seen, nor blondes. Only a black haired woman with shoulder length hair and an eye patch sits at a table surrounded by men, drinking ale and letting them put their arms around her
<Seraphna> Seth> "There she is." *he moves towards the table*
<Ametsune> 6Aschae frowns instantly, letting Seth move ahead.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel eyes Seth and Aschae, downing another ale and gets it refilled by the men hoping to get her drunk and into her pants. She doesn't have as many as before, with her short black hair, since before it went down to her butt and was glowing blonde
<Seraphna> * Seth crosses his arms and watches, mostly the men and where their hands go.
01<@DeathStar> 6* They seem to be keeping the civil, but slowly working thm along her shoulder toward their two happy targets.
<Seraphna> * Seth seems to fantasize about arrows and putting them through greedy hands, he peers at Aschae. "Well?"
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> If you've come to get me, I'll be back to the inn sooner or later. 6 *There's a slur to her tone. "Can't have Jean missing the balcony."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Well, what?" 6She hasn't gotten closer to the table.
<Seraphna> Seth> "You realize if you drink too much you'll be as vulnerable as Jean. Maybe you should come back now, I'll get you drinks."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel snorts and the men eye him. "He bothering you?" <Angel> He wants my 'sister'.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Anne..." *he looks at her, his apparently name to use in place of Angel* "Give me a few minutes." *he motions with his head* "Then you get let these fine gentleman ply you with beer until you see triple."
01<@DeathStar> 6* She grabs a new ale drink and begins to drink it. "I've heard what you had to say and know what you foolishly did to someone you told that you loved." 6* She says with a slight slur. "I don't want to hear what you have to say. And Aschae can stop worrying, I'm not leaving; I promised long ago to not run off from the group."
<Ametsune> 6Aschae tchs from off her way.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men eye the two, trying to communicate for them to go away
<Seraphna> * Seth sets his jaw. "5 minutes. I'll leave you alone if you give me 5 minutes."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel eyes him, then shifts to go. The men grab her arms. "Don't listen to him, babe. We'll get rid of him." 6* She eyes them
<Seraphna> * Seth's hand seems to be reaching for his bow the moment thier hands touch her.
<Ametsune> 6Aschae's staff strikes the back of Seth's head-- not a true blow, but a disciplinary action
<Seraphna> * Seth lowers his own hand.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Let. Go. 6* She says icily. The men pause and jerk their hands away quickly. The angel steps away from the table and moves for the door wobbily
<Seraphna> * Seth moves after her, keeping enough distance to catch her if she falls.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Now you can go." 6She mumbles, staying behind and eyeing the men.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel steps outside, peering up at the glittering as she waits. The men rub their hands and look unnerved, turning their attentions to another woman and inviting her over
<Seraphna> * Seth moves up by her, looking at her. "I don't know what you were talking about with Neph, but it seemed to upset you."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Hm. I'm not even enticing to tavern men." 6She rubs her neck, sighing as she moves to the counter and orders something simple and cheap, carrying it with her.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> ...
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> What was said between me and my friend remains there. 6* She says, though friend doesn't sound friendly
<Seraphna> Seth> "I didn't try to push. I don't think this is the way to fix it though. I don't know why you close yourself off emotionally, besides a fear that everything everyone has been telling you will come to pass, but this isn't a good way to deal with it."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I'm trying new things. I felt your desire for beer so I Figured I'd try it. It feels rather pleasant
<Seraphna> Seth> "You might notice I don't actually go for it though. The stuff is horrible in a whole other way. I spent years in a gutter thanks to the stuff." *he sighs* "And the company of men like that isn't a great idea either, and before you start, I know I'm one of them."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Hm. It was a way to get free alcohol. A page from Aschae's book
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aschae's drinks is given to her for 2 copper
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> A minute has passed.
<Seraphna> * Seth nods a little. "THat's one way to look at it, but say you drank to much to repel them like you just did?"
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Hm. Another new experience I guess
<Seraphna> Seth> "One where I have to pry men off you as they rape you, yes, not one you should be experiencing."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> ... 6* She just eyes him, waiting
<Seraphna> Seth> "I was a damned idiot."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Perhaps you should be telling that to someone else.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Jean or Carly? I know I feel like an idiot for letting Carly go, but I can't promise her the same love I feel for Jean, it's not fair to her."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Pity for you. I'm sure Jean will be thrilled to hear it in the morning.
<Seraphna> Seth> "No, she won't be thrilled." *he rubs his head* "She was also hurt to see me with her. But I know her, she'll be sad that Carly is gone."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Yes.
<Seraphna> Seth> "This isn't easy. Even if I were to turn around and run to Carly now, where would I find her? The girl must be long gone. I didn't want to hurt her and I did anyway."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I'm not the person you should be speaking to. Like I said, speak to Jean all you want in the morning. Maybe you'll even get in her pants
<Seraphna> * Seth seems to control something inside himself for a moment, then looks at Angel. "My dear, I may have felt, I may have groped, I may even have kissed, but I won't persue that in Jean until she's ready for it. I don't have a desire to use her, she's..." *he twitches* "The first honest thing I've met in years."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Hm. It's between you two. It's her body, too. 6* She turns and heads for the inn
<Seraphna> Seth> "Angel... it's also your body. I want to get to know you, I want to get to know if I could love you, if you create the same feelings she does."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I don't want to love you, Seth. 6* She eyes him. "I'm not Jean. I don't like what I see. We're two different people who share the same body. Just be glad she's naive enough to forgive you anything you do to her."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Now, we are done.
<Seraphna> * Seth peers at her. "Who hurt you? What happened? People don't get this way unless they're trying to avoid pain, pain they know can come back easily."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I don't need my own experiences. 6* She eyes Seth. "I can see the world around me for what it is. You realize your telling Carly you loved her, then tossing her aside, will only lead to 1 of 2 outcomes? She will either give into her base nature and become evil, attacking those around her, or she will kill herself. Because she already felt this group (cont)
01<@DeathStar> tossed her aside once. She returns, makes love to you, then you toss her out. I don't need my own experiences; you've given me plenty.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She turns away
<Seraphna> * Seth freezes, clearly not having realized these things. "I... I'm going to see if I can find her."
<Seraphna> * Seth turns to go and pauses, looking back, "DON'T overdrink." *he runs off*
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I would say it is far too late. 6* She notes simply. "I had no mark on her, but you made love to her so their was some left over on her for me to get a read on her
01<@DeathStar> 6* Some TEmplars ride by and turn, carrying a head shaped bad, heading for the church.
<Seraphna> * Seth pauses again. "Where is she?"
<Seraphna> * Seth peers in their direction.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Angel peers at the Templars, then just turns and walks off. "Be glad JEan wasn't was in control tonight."
<Ametsune> 6Zeal ties two horses to the post outside their inn, her blouse open oddly enough, and enters it in a rather droll walk.
<Seraphna> * Seth goes numb, looking the way they've gone. "No..."
<Seraphna> * Seth shakes, his hand inching towards his bow again, looking at the templar's backs, his mouth moving gently as if silently uttering something.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Templars ride on, almost out of sight
<Seraphna> * Seth breaks into a run, moving after them, he calls out, "Hello there! Looks like you caught something?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Templars peer at him, slowing down at the Church building; very modest compared to other places. "Yes; a demon just walking down the road. Must be the angel's influence."
<Seraphna> Seth> "I... I see. A demon? Well... good work..." *he sounds like any peasent might be, bewildered, then turns and moves off*
<Ametsune> 6Aschae drinks a few guzzles of her mug, then turns and pours the rest out on the ground in homage to someone who has died, setting it down in the center of the street and heads back to the inn to perhaps wait on the angel, not to follow and bother her anymore.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The templars nod, moving to get a pike ready
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel stops at the sea, peering out at it
<Seraphna> * Seth pauses, looking at them, and the pike. "...Perhaps... it would be better to burn it?"
01<@DeathStar> <Templars> It raises morale to know demons are being taken care of. 6* They get the pike set up in the ground. "Besides, we'll burn it later after we go get the body and burn it properly. Some demons can come back to life you know. Evil spawn. We're lucky none of us got hurt with this one. Just rode up as she watched and off with her head
<Seraphna> Seth> "I see... these things can't jsut come back without a head can they?"
01<@DeathStar> <Templars> Depends on the type of demon. After having this on display for a day we'll do the proper rites to destroy it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* They pull Carly's head out and shoves it down on the pike, all the way through; her face is staring with eyes just looking ahead, reddish while normally ice blue, with frozen marks below the eye like water running that froze
<Seraphna> * Seth nods, then moves on his way, back the way they came, he goes looking for the body.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel runs her hands over her face, covering it, looking like she's hiding it. Seth would find the city gates shut
<Seraphna> * Seth looks for a clear way over the walls then pulls up his hood, making his way up.
02* XanTopDangerClose (phirax7@c-76-122-228-26.hsd1.va.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
01<@DeathStar> 6* Not knowing how far the body might be out, Seth could be in store for some walking
<Seraphna> * Seth walks, he doesn't seem to have self interest at this point, moving as fast as he can and as far as he can, looking for the body.
01<@DeathStar> 6* After a bit, tossed to the side of the road, he'd see the rest of the body, stab wounds all over it and the neck cut off. It's completely nude, the ice covering her private parts no longer intact.
<Seraphna> * Seth picks her up, looking around for cover, he begins to carry her in the dark, trying to find a safe place to put her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The fields are large and wide, but rather open outside farms
<Seraphna> * He carries her towards a nearby farm and lays her on the ground, out of sight as best he can, after taking a moment to grieve, he tries to think. "Powered by blood? Right? She just needs blood..." *he pulls out his knife, cutting his hand, he squeezes it, dripping blood down the open neck* "Please... please let this work..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nothing seems to happen
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas walks down the hallway of the third floor like a man that's lost, stepping down the stairs to the lobby, then outside
<Seraphna> "Damnit Carly... this is my fault..." *he shakes, waiting and watching, licking his lips and trying to think*
<Seraphna> * Seth pounds his head a little and breathes. "Gotta her her back... gotta get her head..."
<Seraphna> * Seth covers her in the cloak and starts carrying her back towards Matias in the dark. Trying to think of a way to get her over the walls, instead he puts her wrapped against a wall and climbs over again.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The guards at the gate seem to be lax, bored even
<Seraphna> * Seth makes his way back to the church building, looking out for guards as he checks on the pike.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Templars seem to have only two people on duty beneath the pike, peering out lazily
<Seraphna> * Seth looks about for something to use as a distraction.
01<@DeathStar> 6* There doesn't seem to be anything really; the street is deserted around here and there's no businesses nearby
<Seraphna> * Seth looks to see if the two can be snuck around or snuck up on.
01<@DeathStar> 6* He'd have to go the long way around the templar building complex and climb the back wall
<Seraphna> * Seth makes his way around, keeping to the shadows. Intent on getting that head.
01<@DeathStar> 6* After making his way and climbing the wall, which is modest as well, he'd find himself behind the building and templars
<Seraphna> * Seth looks to see if he could get the head without alerting the Templars.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Unlikely since it's on a pike
<Seraphna> * Seth tosses a stone some distance away, ducking back into the shadows.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The TEmplars turn, peering at it. "Who's there?"
<Seraphna> * Seth tosses another in the opposite direction.
01<@DeathStar> 6* They frown and both go each direction swords drawn
<Seraphna> * Seth pulls his hood down and a cloth over his face, waiting till they are a good distance away, he quietly unsheathes his sword and uses it to chop down the top of the pike, taking the head with the pike still in, he quickly wraps it in a sash and makes his way back over the wall and into the dark of night.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Templars urn at the noise, holding up glow stones. "Who goes there?"
<Seraphna> * Seth makes his way over the wall without answering, keeping the head held close, moving quickly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* They search about but find no sign of him
<Seraphna> * Seth makes his way back around in the shadows, heading to the wall, knowing he has to do this before they raise too many alarms, he goes back to where he left her body.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The night is quiuet outside taverns and people drinking
<Seraphna> * Seth unwraps the top of the body when he gets there, he works the pike out of the head and puts it back on the neck, holding it there, if he wasn't an enemy of the gods, he'd be praying.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens, and he can tell nothing will likely happen. Either Carly is not that type of demon, or some outside source beyond Seth would have to do it
<Seraphna> * Seth works to bring her over entirely, when he finally gets into the city, he heads to the inn, he places her body in a quiet alleyway a few blocks away and moves back to the inn, he seeks the Angel.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel walks down the steps as Seth enters, looking like she already expected him, but she looks far more dead in the eyes and face than before, simply waiting on him to say something, even though she probably has an idea.
<Seraphna> * Seth pauses, looking at her eyes. "...This seems now like the worst time to ask you this... but I need your help."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You should respect her wishes and bury her
<Seraphna> * Seth shakes. "I... I... she's Carly... she..."
<Seraphna> * Seth for once, actually looks vulnerable, not crazy, not freaky, just plain sad.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> She wanted to die, or she would have avoided it, I am sure. And let us say you bring her back, what do you say? I take it back, I want you? And insult and hurt her more? Of course if you do not want her back, then it still leave her wanting to be dead.
<Seraphna> "And if I do?" *he looks up at her* "If I want her back?"
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> She will likely be insulted, enraged, and would still seek death because she would not believe your words. I would not
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> A mistake happened, Seth; you have to move on. Just like Zeal has to move on from her's. You need to learn from this, and think more carefully in the future about what you say or do and how it can crush a life or have it blossom
<Seraphna> * Seth sinks to the floor, blood still on his hand, the mess of a demon body staining his clothes. "I did love her... I..."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I know you did; but she was a child given something she had not had before, both in you and Zeal. Emotions foreign to her was put into her and she did not have the capability to accept what seemed a lie. Perhaps she realized her place was not with the group. You wanted to be with JEan; Zeal was to be with Thomas. It was too much for that one
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> If the world is kind, she will have peace if there is a life beyond this one
<Seraphna> * Seth rises, he takes a gulp of air and in a strange voice says, "I'll... be back around dawn... do me one favor... please make sure Jean doesn't remember. I don't think I can take her tears right now."
<Seraphna> * He says it in a way where her tears aren't an annoyance, but possibly the last thing needed to break him fully.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel nods once. "I could not have brought her back anyway. I do not have a mark to her. And I believe it would take two people who were close to her and had some of her essence in them to do it. You are only one."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel, still looking emotionless, turns and moves up the stairs
<Seraphna> Seth> "...Zeal?"
<Seraphna> * Seth sighs, he moves for the inn door.
01<@DeathStar> 6* If it is Zeal, and her name was said by the angel enough, she would likely have to be found
<Seraphna> * Seth returns to her body, hefting it up, he makes his way back out of the city, avoiding guards, keeping to the shadows, moving over the wall. He travels for some time before deciding the spot as as good as any, her starts to dig a shallow grave.
01<@DeathStar> 6* No one seems to notice her
01<@DeathStar> *him
<Seraphna> * Seth buries her, marking her grave with a single stone, he carves her name into it with some work, placing it above her head, when he finishes, he bows his head, he begins to cry.
01<@DeathStar> 6* It's out there, and no one comes to comfort Seth; Carly doesn't bust out of the ground annoyed or ticked. It simply is silent
01<@DeathStar> 6* The only person probably aware of his pain being the angel
<Seraphna> * After a while, he rises and drops a small stone on top of the grave, he moves off, heading back to Matias.
01<@DeathStar> 6* IF he returns to his room, he'd find it as he left it, outside a bag of Carly's stuff that she left, not having been in the frame of mind to go get it
<Seraphna> * Seth sits on his bed, he starts going through the bag quietly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* 100 gold is in it, some of Zeal's panties are in it, and one of Seth's arrows are in it, as well as a folded paper
<Seraphna> * Seth opens the folded paper.
01<@DeathStar> 6* It has the name of some Templars that are crossed off, with his sister's name at the top, not crossed, and circled with a ? mark. Perhaps the other Templars were met by Carly to see if his sister lived. She did mention eating some bad men
<Seraphna> * Seth looks down, he takes a deep breath and moves out of the room to call on the Angel again. Seeming to decide someting then and there.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel seems to be no where in sight, at least not our side or wandering the hotel halls. Her room door is shut
<Seraphna> * Seth knocks.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth opens the door, her expression looking worried, and she eyes Seth. "Yes?"
<Seraphna> Seth> "Is Jean in there?"
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... the angel is... not well. Can it wait?
<Seraphna> * Seth shakes his head.
<Seraphna> Seth> "I only need to ask her one thing."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> What is it? I will get the answer if necessary.
<Seraphna> Seth> "...It's something you shouldn't have to know if it can be helped."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I'd prefer to know. 6* Her tone has some authoriativeness to it
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns. "I need to know how Zeal and I can bring her back. She'll know what I mean."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth closes the door
<Seraphna> * Seth waits.
01<@DeathStar> 6* LEnneth returns and steps out, closing the door after her. "She does not know. She said perhaps together you two could figure it out, but it would be something you both would have to want, and the consequences something you both would have to accept. It would involve blood and heightened emotions, she thinks
<Seraphna> * Seth nods, he bows his head to her respectfully and turns. "I'm going to find Zeal... see to her well being, please, Len."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I do not think there is anything I can do; she is withdrawn and shut off emotionally. That makes her unpredictablely dangerous. I'm not the one who can reach out to her right now, only someone else who relates can. 6* She seems to indicate that person is in the room
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth steps back in
<Seraphna> * Seth nods, he leaves that to them and moves to Zeal's room, knocking. (I suppose to be conitnued if the fox is asleep.)
<Ametsune> <Zeal> What?" 6Her voice is strained.
<Seraphna> Seth> "We need to talk."
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Now!?" 6She sounds bewildered.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Yes now."
<Ametsune> <Zeal> F-Fine, whatever... I deserve this, too..
<Seraphna> Seth> "Open up and let's talk."
<Ametsune> <Zeal> It's not locked, damn it!
<Seraphna> * Seth opens up and steps in.
<Ametsune> 6Zeal is sitting in the corner of the room, either not having bothered or not caring to close up her blouse, still holding her knees and though not now, her face is streaked from crying for hours.

03* Kaelan (gabby.crei@74.39.200.48) has joined #Session86
<Kaelan> * Seth looks at Zeal quietly, his face is hard, his eyes are red, he's in grief as well.
<Eluere> <Zeal> What the hell are you talking about..!?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Angel said there's a way to bring Carly back. I-I've got her body, but the rest involves two people with Carly's essence, all the rest she could say was that they had to be willing, ready to accept consequences, and that it involved blood."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Back!? She ran away to be alone, she's not comin--" 6Her eyes widen in horror. 1"... H-her.. b... body..!? What did you do!? What the hell did you do to her now!?"
<Kaelan> * Seth glares. "I didn't do anything. She was standing in the street in her true form and some Templars killed her. She didn't even put up a fight. She killed herself, Zeal."
<Kaelan> * Seth looks down. "I found the body... and took the head back from the Templars... I-I put them together but my blood wasn't enough. I had a moment of weakness and hurt her feelings Zeal... there's a chance to fix this... but I need you."
<Eluere> <Zeal> ... A ... moment... of weakness..
<Kaelan> Seth> "I chose Jean over her." *he says, almost distantly* "That's why she was walking away. When you came up and offered your body, it sent her over the edge. She was already starting to feel love was weak." *he tries not to harden his voice* "I don't know how long we have, if there's even a window Zeal. I need your help to bring her back."
<Eluere> <Zeal> I can't
<Kaelan> Seth> "You... can't...?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> Don't you see who's missing here? I can't just... run away to her again..
<Kaelan> * Seth frowns. "You think Thomas is going to hold it against you if you help me bring her back. She's DEAD, Zeal. If we don't do this she's never coming back."
<Eluere> <Zeal> How do you know it'll do anything anyway!?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Because I believe in the Angel. Unless you're going to tell me she lied."
<Eluere> 6Zeal glares back at him. 1"I'm not going-- just deciding things for myself!"
<Eluere> <Zeal> Look what good doing whatever you feel like does! I won't betray what little trust I have left just to satisfy your needs!
<Kaelan> * Seth turns, breathing, trying to keep that insanity at bay. "Trust. Carly trusted us, you and I, with her heart and her soul. We both killed her Zeal." *he galres back at her, a fire in his eyes, an insane look he has when he starts to kill to calm down he just can't disguise* "You trade Carly's life so Thomas will more readily get over your actions. I get it."
<Kaelan> Seth> "If getting with your man is all you need then by all means let me go find him and we can all go together. This is about saving a life, not getting off, Zeal."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Don't you dare..." 6She darkens herself, pulling her knees tight. 1".. Don't you even try, you self-righteous, ignorant husk of a man. I've my own responsibility and part in my own actions, but by no means am I obligated to your own folly and disillusionment to your childish and irrevocably foolish ways. Don't even try to place guilt on me when you've seen the ashes of your own
<Eluere> 1mess.."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Then by all means, don't feel guilt. She'll remain buried and you can feel all roses about it." *he grips his hand into a fist* "I already acknolwedge, at least, that my actions caused this. Don't you sit there and act like I don't. I'm trying to save her Zeal. I love her."
<Eluere> <Zeal> How convenient." 6She spits aside, hiding her face. 1"I'm left to my own. I'll only abide her last words to me and those of my love, what's left of it."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Alright, just think over how flowery those words will settle when the others ask why we didn't try bringing her back when we could. I'm full prepared to take the consequences of my actions, Zeal, are you?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> I already am.
<Kaelan> Seth> "By sitting here, leaving a friend dead, and waiting for your man to come back and say alls forgiven? Yes, Zeal, you've proven you were in the right on your choices to try and help Carly, you prove it by just passivel accepting her death." *his sarcasm is cut by his cracking voice, he's doing all he can to act strong right now but it's not showing well* "Do I have to get on my knees?"
<Eluere> 6Zeal pays him no heed, quiet and hidden, since he doesn't seem to understand, listen or even accept what she's saying anyway.
<Kaelan> * Seth breathes. "Zeal. Please help me. I can't think straight right now. I loved her and she's dead now. You literally hold her life in your hands." *he goes to his knees* "I'll do anything. Just help me bring her back. I'll tell Thomas I made you, whatever you want."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Someone moves down the hallway
<Eluere> <Zeal> ...
<Kaelan> Seth> *peers at her, having no answer to ellipsis*
<Eluere> 6Zeal doesn't peer at him, having no answer either hence ellipses
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma trots into the room and walks past Seth to leap on Zeal
<Kaelan> * Seth rises, looking at the cat, then the girl. "...I was wrong to place this burden on you... I have her buried, somewhere quiet." *he sighs defeatedly* "If you decide to help me... I'll be here."
<Kaelan> * Seth moves over to the door, his usual confidence gone, his demenor sunken into someone lost in melancholy. "Thomas will forgive you, love isn't this fleeting."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Soma-- find Thomas. Please." 6She rubs his head half-heartedly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma mewls and leaps out to find his target. Rachael is in the hallway, peering at Seth as he exits
<Kaelan> * Seth steps as he looks at Rachael. He looks a shell of himself from hours before.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Seth?
<Kaelan> Seth> "...Rachael."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> What happened to you?
<Kaelan> * Seth frowns, he looks down. "Carly... Carly's gone."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh.
<Kaelan> * Seth hesitates, at this point saying the words come out like stones. "She's dead."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 6* She blinks. "Dead? How...?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* She peers as Soma drags Thomas along past them, the tiny tigoar just yanking him along. His glasses are off and his stance isn't like normal; Soma pulls him into the room and drags him over to Zeal and lets go, panting proudly
<Kaelan> "She let a trio of templars take her head. I... I told her we couldn't work out... she killed herself." *he starts to take the tone of someone who's repeated something so much is just burns to speak it again* "I can bring her back... I took the head from the Templars... I got the body before they did... but I need blood and the blood of another with her essence."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I... see. 6* She looks like she's trying to process all that
<Kaelan> * Seth seems scattered, probably clinging to the very edge of whatever kept him sane till now. "I... need Zeal's help, but she won't give it. Thomas didn't take her time with Carly too well it seems. I... I think she's really gone now." *his voice is starting to crack again, he's holding back a flood*
<Kaelan> * Seth is covered in the blood, his hand healing a wound from a knife cut, he's covered in dirt, he looks terrible at this point, he hasn't slept at all.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> ... I'm sorry, Seth. 6* She says sympathically, touching his arm
<Kaelan> * Seth flinches, he breathes in. "D-Don't be. I did this. My choices lead to this."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe, but I'm still sorry. 6* She peers toward the door where Thomas was dragged in, not wanting to interrupt
<Kaelan> Seth> "...Give them time. Thomas needs to learn that not every act that goes against his ways is a bad one." *he sets his jaw* "...I'm going to go get these bloody clothes off before guards start looking for people with severed demon heads." *he laughs with no spirit in it* "Last thing I want to do now is get you all in trouble."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers down at Zeal and looks her over, shifting to kneel, looking worried; he smells a little of ale but not a lot, probably reserved even wehn drinking
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 6* She nods once
<Eluere> <Zeal> Thomas." 6She says quietly, looking up
<Kaelan> * Seth moves into his room, not meaning to, but he slams the door. After a while a muted weeping can be heard.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Zeal...are you okay? 6* He looks over how much she's been crying and takes a cloth, wetting it and wiping at her face
<Eluere> <Zeal> It doesn't matter. Thomas, are you?
02* Kaelan (gabby.crei@74.39.200.48) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I have been thinking. 6* He says slowly. "When you spared Carly and asked her along, making the deal with her, I thought you were crazy - to extend your hand toward a demon. But afterwards, and I saw her obey you and start to slowly grow more 'human' I realized you were right - you saw something I did not see.
<Eluere> <Zeal> I-- I don't think so..
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I believe so. You did something good with Carly. Perhaps you had impulses inside, and she gave you what you needed, but you also reached out to her - you may not have loved her, but you showed her something the rest of the team wasn't. Perhaps she saw in you something you needed and reached back. I am rather boring, I know, and I know it's not my place to (cont)
01<@DeathStar> judge you. I probably couldn't give you everything you need. But you love me and I believe that and it's enough for me. What I am saying is I do not care about you and Carly, and if in the future you are together with her again, I will understand. We are out to change the world and if we are going to do that we need to look inside and out around us and decide (cont)
01<@DeathStar> what we need, and what we want to offer to others. If we can't approach people, ourselves, and the world with an open mind, we'll be like the church, and simply will believe in one rigid thing. As long as one day, after this is over, if you still love me and will be my wife, that's enough for me. Anything else you do, I will understand and will not hate you for it
<Eluere> 6Zeal jerks, shaking her head and looking slightly mortified. 1"My own weakness is not your fault or whim..."
<Eluere> 6Zeal peers down, looking sad that he would still think that. 1"Carly is ... dead."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Shhh. It's not a weakness. 6* He puts a finger to her lips before she says the dead part. "It's not a weakness, Zeal. I know me. I do not know if I could give you everything you need inside and that's not a weakness. Did you know that elves sometimes have multiple partners? Does that make them less proper than us? Since traveling with the angel and seeing (cont)
01<@DeathStar> her reach out to everyone and everything with open arms, I've realized there's only one thing you really need in this world: understanding and an open mind. I may not always get why you need certain things, but I will accept that and love you still. I do not think less of you Zeal. You are an amazing woman - a truly amazing woman. I've seen the best of you and (cont)
<Eluere> <Zeal> I-I'm not an elf. I gave to lust. Whether she gave it ot me or not." 6She winces.
01<@DeathStar> now I've learned more about you inside, and that makes me feel closer to you if that makes sense. You gave into lust. 6* He wraps his arm around her. "There are people who give into murder and hate. I don't want you to hate yourself. That would break my heart, Zeal
<Eluere> 6Zeal sighs gently, taking a deep breath. 1"... C-Carly is dead, Thomas.."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks. "Oh. I'm... sorry. Are you okay with that...?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* He seems flustered, having been trying to show Zeal he accepts all sidesw of her and now being told that
<Eluere> <Zeal> Seth has come to ridicule and beg me to help him restore her-- however means that possible. I would not... without consulting you first.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers at her. "Zeal - you do not have to consult me when it comes to matters of your heart; even if it's lust. 6* He does something he's never done before and pulls her onto his lap to face her. "I love you - and that means I love every part of you, inside and out, and I would no more have you deny yourself than I would deny you. Please understand that. (cont)
01<@DeathStar> If YOU want to help restore her, if that's what you want to do, then do it. 6* He strokes her cheek where she's been crying, then tenderly kisses her on the lips
<Eluere> 6Zeal makes a noise, having been cowered in position for long enough that her legs and body ache to move, looking confused and then flustered across weathered face at the kiss, all the more cowed. 1"...I don't want to do anything else without your blessing. To restore Carly is to seek peace in undoing my wrong-- and his. He is depraved, but she doesn't deserve what she takes for our
<Eluere> 1foolishness."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Tell me. What will you do after you restore her? Whatever Seth did to her, that will still be with her, and she will still be leaving the group, right? I do not think it would be right to simply bring her back to life when she was already hurting as she was - I'm guessing that's how she died. Because of her pain, right?

01<DS[SadIll]> <Thomas> Tell me. What will you do after you restore her? Whatever Seth did to her, that will still be with her, and she will still be leaving the group, right? I do not think it would be right to simply bring her back to life when she was already hurting as she was - I'm guessing that's how she died. Because of her pain, right?
03* DS[SadIll] is now known as DeathStar
<Eluere> <Zeal> She did not resist a templar passing. I couldn't let her leave, no... I'm sure she won't understand right away, but it's not right.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan rises, clean and rested, looking over Mercy quietly. Unaware of the utter insanity that went on.
<Seraphna> * Seth lays on his bed, staring at the note, interally cursing himself.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> This may be hard to hear, but ... if she didn't resist dying, what can you say to stop her from seeking it again? If Seth tell her the opposite of whatever he told her before, wouldn't that upset her more? From what you told me, you at least were truthful with her even though you offered yourself.
<Eluere> <Zeal> This is why I say she will not understand, not immediately... but does anyone ever..?
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Perhaps not; that is why one seeks to understand. 6* He kisses her on the forehead. "And never stops trying. I will support you completely, Zeal, in all things." 6* He peers at her breasts and blushes slightly, shifting to close her shirt up for her
<Eluere> 6Zeal notes it, sighing. 1"..."
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> I love you. Do you want me to come with you?
<Eluere> 6Zeal nods slowly, looking down.
01<DeathStar> 6* As his hands close the shirt, they graze along her breasts a little, and he blushes more, having always been shy and gentlemanly
<Eluere> <Zeal> S-Soma..
01<DeathStar> 6* Soma mews
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas hands graze along her breasts again, gently almost. "I'd like to make love to you later, Zeal." 6* He says as bravely as he can muster, knowing that she would probably want to see to Carly first
<Eluere> <Zeal> You needn't force yourself, Thomas... I understand.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Force myself?
<Eluere> <Zeal> You don't need to 'outdo' Carly or anything. Like I said, you are truer than ever to me.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> I would never try to outdo Carly, my dear Zeal. As I said, I could not give you what she might. That's what I said if you have impulses, desires, and if it's with someone you want to do them with, I will understand. 6* He says gently, placing her hand on his heart. "When I say I want to make love to you later, Zeal, I mean that - ( cont)
<Eluere> 6Zeal flusters, still look shamed but nodding.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> I wish to make love with you - not to outdo someone else. I can only be who I am, and I'd like to be closer with you if you will have me. I am happy to give you what I can give you. And if that makes you happy, then that is enough for me. If someone else can give you something else, that is fine. Just knowing I can give you something makes me happy
01<DeathStar> 6* He kisses her gently on the cheek
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Now let us go see about Carly, my rose.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Yes, sir Thomas.
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas rises and lifts her up gently to her feet, taking her hand and stepping out. Rachael is in the hall, but far enough away she could not hear what was said. She looks up at Zeal, clearly worried about her
<Eluere> <Zeal> R-Rachael..
01<DeathStar> <Rachael> Seth told me about Carly. Are you okay...narvan? I-I understand if you'd rather wait to talk to me. 6* She adds quickly, not wanting to push Zeal any
<Eluere> <Zeal> We move to restore her now..
01<DeathStar> <Rachael> Do you want me to help?
<Eluere> <Zeal> If it is your wish to help Carly, not myself.
01<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-- 6* She looks flustered, rising to her feet. "Narvan..." 6* She mumbles when she puts it that way, clearly worried about Zeal but never having been close to Carly
<Eluere> <Zeal> It is not a slight.. this should be about Carly, not myself.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rachael squirms, peering down. She simply just begins to follow Thomas and Zeal, not saying why, and looking distant. Thomas stops outside Seth's door and Soma paws Zeal to be lifted up to his riding spot
<Eluere> 6Zeal pauses and picks Soma up, carrying him in her arms and nodding to Thomas
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas knocks on Seth's door once
<Seraphna> * THere's some shuffling around, and the door opens, Seth rubbing his eyes as though he was asleep.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Come.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Take us to Carly if you would. <Rachael> I--- I do not want to ....be rude but she is a demon. What if ressurecting takes a life in return for one? The only people who come back to life are by the gods and that person is not themselves
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns. "I... didn't think about that... it should be my life..."
<Eluere> <Zeal> If that be consequence, we shall meet it when it cometh. It is of no matter now.
<Seraphna> * Seth nods. "It's outside the city."
<Eluere> <Zeal> She. She is outside the city, for if your pledge of love is anything but, I shant be want to put the dagger in you myself.
<Seraphna> Seth> "I was referring to the grave." *he says, his voice strained*
<Eluere> <Zeal> Lead the way, hunter. I'm of no more words this eve.
<Seraphna> * Seth stiffly leads the way out, hefting up his bow and making his way into the streets.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rachae peers at the two, quietly following them. Thomas holds Zeal's hand and Soma snuggles her; for Soma Loves Zeal
<Seraphna> * Seth leads them to the gates this time, since not everyone coming with them can ninja climb over walls.
01<DeathStar> 6* The gates are closed off and the guard is at watch
03* XanTopDangerClose (phirax7@c-76-122-228-26.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined #Session86
01<DeathStar> (*Directs Xan to the other room*)
<Seraphna> * Seth approaches calmly.
01<DeathStar> <Guard> Halt. No one can go out tonight.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Did you not make your way unseen? Should we not make use of rope?" 6She hisses at Seth
<Seraphna> * Seth nods and turns away, heading back away from the guards.
01<DeathStar> 6* They follow along and the guard watches the, suspiciously now
03* XanTopDangerClose is now known as Kellin
<Eluere> 6Zeal clutches Thomas, looking agitated and frightened now
<Seraphna> * Seth yawns, heading back till he sees the tavern.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Guess we can party here girls."
01<DeathStar> 6* The guard loses sight of them finally. Rachael eyes Seth, and Thomas raises a brow
<Seraphna> * Seth sighs, "Had to lose the guards. We'll go over the wall."
01<DeathStar> <Rachael> I can use the wind to jump; I might can take Zeal with me
<Seraphna> * Seth peers at Thomas. "How's your climbing?"
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Poor.
<Eluere> <Zeal> We must manage..
<Seraphna> Seth> "I'll help him."
<Seraphna> * Seth makes his way to a wall keeping an eye out for guards, before stopping at it.
01<DeathStar> * Rachael takes Zeal, uses wind jump, and launches them over
01<DeathStar> 6* Soma mewls pathetically
<Seraphna> * Seth begins to climb, going slow and using his wall scaling abilities to show Thomas a way up.
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas watches, then pathetically tries to climb and falls
<Seraphna> * Seth catches him, grumbling, he sets him down and climbs up, them lowers him a rope.
01<DeathStar> 6* Since Seth doesn't have a rope as an item, he can'[t
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes the wall, then peers around, then moves off into the night, vanishing from sight briefly
<Seraphna> * Seth waits for him.
<Eluere> 6Zeal looks rattled, an expression akin to Momiji popping out of Tabetha's subspace after part of the windjump
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas returns with crates and stacks them up, using them to get closer and lifts a hand toward Seth
<Seraphna> * SEth takes it, pulling him up.
01<DeathStar> <Rachael> Are you okay? 6* She looks like she's used to it, stroking Zeal's hair
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas climbs up and over
<Seraphna> * Seth makes his way down, helping Thomas the first leg of it so he doesn't break anything, then climbs down after him.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Yes, just... wasn't expecting that.
<Seraphna> * Seth then moves out into the fields.
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas dusts himself off while Soma clings to Zeal, all dizzy
01<DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles and moves after Seth; before when she learned Wind Jump she wasn't good at it, but lately she's been holding herself differently, not that anyone knows why
<Seraphna> * Seth stops after a while at a freshly dug mound of Earth, a small blue stone on top of it, and over the mound a larger stone with Carly's name is carved into it. He leans down and starts digging.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks away now and Thomas kneels to help
<Eluere> 6Zeal kneels and assists as well.
<Seraphna> * Seth unearths it quickly with THomas' help, it being a shallow grave. He sits back staring with dead eyes at her body once they uncover it. "The Angel said... it involved our blood, that we had to be willing, and that we would have to accept the consequences, we also had to have our emotions heightened."
01<DeathStar> 6* Carly's dead, nude body is uncovered, with her head served, eyes opened and the ice dots along her face below the eyes. The look that peers up isn't accusing, just staring
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> I cannot imagine one's emotions would be more heightened than right now
<Seraphna> Seth> "I can attest to that. I want to tear out my own heart right now."
01<DeathStar> 6* Rachael watches the glittering, apparantly uneasy about looking at a dead girl, and Thomas nods, stepping back and patting Zeal to let her know he's there
<Seraphna> * Seth pulls out his knife, reopening the cut in his hand, he squeezes it, dropping blood, he looks to Zeal.
<Eluere> 6Zeal looks rather unnerved by the side, but holds out her hand, closing her eyes.
01<DeathStar> 6* The blood just drops about unless specified where
<Seraphna> * Seth drops it into her mouth, as though feeding her.
<Seraphna> * Seth pauses, "Use your knife, cut and feed."
<Eluere> 6Zeal pulls out the butterfly knife, much larger than the usual, pricking her finger and holds out over her mouth since that's what Seth did
<Seraphna> * Seth watches, gripping the dirt with his other hand.
01<DeathStar> 6* Nothing seems to be happening. After a moment Thomas gives Zeal a look like he's sorry
<Seraphna> * Seth begins to cry, leaning over her a little, shaking. "Carly... please wake up... please come back..."
01<DeathStar> 6* Rachael frowns. "Maybe it's not enough blood?" 6* The tears fall along Carly, mixing with the blood it seems in her mouth. Rachael touches her throat and focuses, her hand glowing as it begins to use a magic she's never shown she's capable of before
<Eluere> 6Zeal blinks, looking surprised. 1"R-Rachael?"
<Seraphna> * Seth blinks a little, voice catching in his throat as he looks at Rachael, then back at Carly.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> The tears seemed to do something; perhaps that is what the angel meant by hightened emotion
<Seraphna> * Seth wipes the tears from his eyes, leaving blood on his face as he squeezes his now tear and bloodstained hand, dripping more into Carly's mouth. "Carly... come back to me, please."
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas glances at Zeal
<Eluere> 6Zeal runs her hand across her face, blinking at Thomas. 1"My... tears?"
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Perhaps it may work...If they are genuine tears. That's all I can think of on why hightened emotions would matter
<Eluere> 6Zeal eyes her hand, then holds it out, letting them drop as well.
01<DeathStar> 6* As Rachael's healing works on the flesh, suddenly something happens and Carly's hands twitch and drive forward toward Zeal and Seth before everyone's world goes black -END-
