You have just entered room "thinkofanamedamnyou."
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
PapatymisonN has entered the room.
PapatymisonN: Howdy, y'all.
EternalDragonAya has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: Hey people.
Arch mage144: Second gen, yeah?
Lithaladhwen: Aye.
EternalDragonAya: BRIAN. I finally got Amplitude!
Lithaladhwen: Lost Brian.
Lithaladhwen: His computer reset. Oddly enough. It's like it can tell when he's RPing.
MajorGeneralTso: Oh my god it's Kate!
PapatymisonN: It is Kate.
PapatymisonN: LET'S REJOICE! *doesn't*
EternalDragonAya: IT IS.
MajorGeneralTso: ...*Waves!* Okay.
CGNakibe has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: Hey Shaun.
Lithaladhwen: Kate: Brian: "Oh, cool."
CGNakibe: RAR. *bites everyone*
Arch mage144 has left the room.
MajorGeneralTso: Ow.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
CGNakibe: At random: I am reading a series currently that you might call Futuristic Medival Fantasy. Or something. I dunno.
Lithaladhwen: Weird.
PapatymisonN: Query, Kate: Do you have anyone 2ndGen save for... Elle and Ayra?
CGNakibe: Basic idea: Its some 2-3k years into the future.
Lithaladhwen: Dude. I forgot all about Ayra! Craziness.
EternalDragonAya: Hmmm.
CGNakibe: Nanotech is big, and because of it, Humans can do everything.
EternalDragonAya: I don't think so, Cha.
CGNakibe: Also: Ayra! >:D
Lithaladhwen: Zea should meet both of those people someday. It would be awesome.
PapatymisonN: Ayra first. Seeing as how they're now two of a kind...
Lithaladhwen: Something like that, yes.
MajorGeneralTso: You have Tai's child.
MajorGeneralTso: ...The Male one.
MajorGeneralTso: ...Who's name I forgot.
PapatymisonN: I imagine she has him in a box.
EternalDragonAya: ...oh YEAH.
PapatymisonN: With chains.
EternalDragonAya: ...I forgot his name too.
Lithaladhwen: Ew.
MajorGeneralTso: ...Damn.
EternalDragonAya: Zuri or something...?
Lithaladhwen: Kate: *brings out the gimp*
MajorGeneralTso: It was probably a Chinese sounding name...
EternalDragonAya: Yeah, it probably was.
Lithaladhwen: XD
EternalDragonAya: Wasn't it Chinese for chaos or something...?
CGNakibe: ^_______^
CGNakibe: Naki would be pleased by this choice.
MajorGeneralTso: Amanda might know...but she's off GMing something right now. <.<;;;...
Lithaladhwen: Is she really? That's cool.
PapatymisonN: This gonna be plotty, Ashley?
MajorGeneralTso: Daaaaamn...Well, feel free to give him a new name!
Lithaladhwen: Um....kinda. It'll give people something to do.
PapatymisonN: Kae it is, then.
Lithaladhwen: If anyone else has anything to accomplish, that would be totally righteous.
Lithaladhwen: How many people in here do mercenary work of any kind?
MajorGeneralTso: ...Tai probably does.
Besyanteo has entered the room.
MajorGeneralTso: ...But I'm aiming not to use him. <.<;;...If I do infact RP...
Besyanteo: Bwee?
Besyanteo: I should have asked earlier: Waht system did Ashley want to use?
EternalDragonAya: I could probably find it if I go look it up in old logs...
Lithaladhwen: I use PS, but there probably won't be combat.
EternalDragonAya: But I'm too lazy to do so right now. >_>
CGNakibe: Solis could do Merc work. Farwind, however, is a tree-hugging hippie-fox.
Lithaladhwen: It's really not a huge epic plot thing. Just something to do besides sit and talk.
PapatymisonN: Unless it's another character, Zuri sounds right.
Lithaladhwen: Or at least something to sit and talk about.
MajorGeneralTso: Oh...PS. HMMM...
MajorGeneralTso: I will sideline today.
Lithaladhwen: Seriously. I don't anticipate combat.
PapatymisonN: Dude. Just cobble together the Basic 9 for statchecks.
Besyanteo: BWee.
Lithaladhwen: I mean, if you want to grab some random commoner and slit his throat for no reason, then yeah, there'll be combat.
Lithaladhwen: But I'm not starting any.
PapatymisonN: ... that's appealing, though...
CGNakibe: Never liked those random NPCs anyway. >:[
EternalDragonAya: Anyways, I'll probably play Elle 'cause I haven't in forever.
CGNakibe: They're just happy... and they keep wandering around in circles.
CGNakibe: I mean, what's up with that?
Lithaladhwen: Also.
Lithaladhwen: http://mysidia.org/rpgww/index.php?title=Philsys_NPCs
Lithaladhwen: People need to look at this if they don't like making PS characters. You won't really need a sheet here I think...but I feel like I should at least get that out there since Brian went to the trouble of making it.
Besyanteo: ... So, who else is definitely RPing?
PapatymisonN: I'm in.
Lithaladhwen: I am. Of course. >.>
Besyanteo: Heh.
Besyanteo: Back in a second. I fully expect to see more than four people total up for this when I get back. ... Because if I don't I'll cry.
Besyanteo: :,(
Lithaladhwen: Brian's in.
MajorGeneralTso: If you need people, I'll be in as Tai and use his current Gen sheet.
Lithaladhwen: He said so!
MajorGeneralTso: Just for some numbers.
MajorGeneralTso: ...And I haven't RPed Second Gen Tai in soooome time.
PapatymisonN: ... so the old fart hasn't done anything in TWENTY YEARS? Sheesh... >.>
MajorGeneralTso: He just travels and maybe does some Mercenary work when it suits him. <.<...
EternalDragonAya: *cracks knuckles*
MajorGeneralTso: If he's running low on income...Might go and rob a casino with his wife.
Lithaladhwen: That would be awesome. Quinn would think that was so cute.
Besyanteo: Haarrrrg to the Forsaken!
Besyanteo: ... I mean, awesome.
Lithaladhwen: (Okay. So. We have Bes, Charles, Kate, Brian, maybe Tai. Shaun?)
CGNakibe: (Scattered... sleepy. Chances aren't good I'd be able to concentrate tonight.)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay.)
Lithaladhwen: (If people are okay to go....)
Arch mage144: (Whenever.)
Besyanteo: (What he said.)
Lithaladhwen: (Charles? I'm calling the roll.)
PapatymisonN: (Yo.0
Arch mage144: (Roll: *sits up, waves*)
Lithaladhwen: *It's Doma capital because lots of people live there. Lots of things happen there. Some of those things should be explored by interested parties. Such activities are good.*
CGNakibe: (Hey Roll. Where's Rock?)
PapatymisonN: (It went to Vegas.)
EternalDragonAya: (AH ROLL)
Lithaladhwen: *On Ye Olde Message Board is a notice requesting "temporary employees" to serve as bodyguards at the funeral of a rather wealthy guy.*
Lithaladhwen: *He died kind of violently, and his family is a little nervous still. They don't want any trouble.*
Lithaladhwen: *The pay looks damn good, as rich people don't like having their funerals janked up.*
Lithaladhwen: *There's an address and a contact name. Anyone looking for some spare cash for standing around a bunch of nervous mourning upper-class folk is free to go check stuff out.*
PapatymisonN: *ooh. Money.*
PapatymisonN: *and Kae heads on over to the address!*
Besyanteo: *There's a young male Garoujin examining this notice! He looks like he might be 16 or 17. Brown fur, green eyes, and fairly plain looking attire.*
PapatymisonN: *and if he has time, he'll pick up a suit!*
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Besyanteo: (Oh my?)
Lithaladhwen: (He'll be back. His computer resets a lot.)
Lithaladhwen: *Suits are cool. You should wear 'em when you go outside.*
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Besyanteo: (I can help but imagine our characters looking like secret service agents now.)
Arch mage144: (Bwahaha. Earpieces and everything. Dark shades.)
Besyanteo: *After some debate, he'll head off to register for the event, and get appropriate thigns form his house. Like weaponry. And clothes that don't clash orrifically with the event*
PapatymisonN: *never had to worry about that. ALL his clothes are black.*
EternalDragonAya: *since Elle is, well, Elle, she, like her mother before her, is in disguise. Full dragoon armor with the helmet down disguise!*
PapatymisonN: (He needs Stacy and Clinton.)
Besyanteo: (He needs a brick first,)
Besyanteo: (Stacy and Clinton second.)
MajorGeneralTso: (Moo...)
Besyanteo: (Nothing says 'Cheer up, Emo Kid' like a brick imbedded halfway into your forehead)
PapatymisonN: (It will be his eternal excuse, Jason...)
Lithaladhwen: *You guys seem respectable enough, and hey. Armor is a nice deterrant to those much-feared criminal types. Bunch of bodyguards in suits and/or armor is intimidating enough that it'll probably get the message across.*
PapatymisonN: (HE TRIED TO KILL HIS WHOLE FAMILY.)
PapatymisonN: (You'd be emo too.)
Besyanteo: (Cheer up, Emo Kid.)
Besyanteo: (*STAB*)
Lithaladhwen: (I think you'd be emo first, actually. Causality here is a little backward.)
Lithaladhwen: (Gotta have issues beforehand.)
Besyanteo: *Has no love of heavy, clankym etal armor. So instead it's a black suit, and a pair of short swords!*
PapatymisonN: (... well, he's not UTTERLY depressed.)
PapatymisonN: (Although the breakup didn't help... >.>)
Lithaladhwen: (Timelapse to funeral action?)
Besyanteo: (Works for me.)
EternalDragonAya: *raaar ARMOR!*
EternalDragonAya: (BASELINE)
Lithaladhwen: *The funeral itself is one of those outdoor numbers, since courtyards in spring are pretty and add to the ambience.*
Lithaladhwen: *Presiding at the ceremony is...*
Lithaladhwen: *This person.*
MajorGeneralTso: (That is some totally awesome art.)
Arch mage144: *sitting in the crowd of mourners; it's hard to be inconspicuous when you're James Silvar (or even if you just have his absurd hairstyle), but he's more or less just one of the crowd*
Besyanteo: *standing wherever the hell he was told to* IM: Zea?
Lithaladhwen: (Many thanks, sir!)
PapatymisonN: IM: ... huh.
PapatymisonN: IM: Didn't see THAT on the flyer.
Lithaladhwen: (People can be wherever. Long as you look businesslike and intimidating.)
Lithaladhwen: (I don't know. Glower a lot.)
Lithaladhwen: *There are lots of people there dressed in black, as you'd expect. A couple of people have umbrellas because it's supposed to rain later in the day.*
Besyanteo: *Doesn't look angry or subdued. Just... Calm. He didn't expect to see his one time acquaintance and his Dad's botonary benefactor presiding over a funeral... but he's handling everything.*
PapatymisonN: *is standing at the outskirts, nunchaku at side...*
Lithaladhwen: *One woman with such an item is standing near the back wrapped in a nice big fur coat. It's a little cool for spring, but not that cold. Maybe it's a comfort thing. Big fuzzy stuff is comforting.*
PapatymisonN: *trying his best at looking imposing... and pulling it off*
Besyanteo: *He does look a little funny though, in a formal suit with swords stuck into the belt rather casually*
EternalDragonAya: IM: Huh, that's James.
EternalDragonAya: *shifts to the side* IM: This is sort of awkward...
Arch mage144: *James usually wears black anyway, so he totally fits in with the mourners*
Besyanteo: IM: I really hope it doesn't rain. I hadn't planned to deal with complaints about wet dog smell form rich people when I signed up for this.
Lithaladhwen: (Ha!)
PapatymisonN: *singing a happy little tune in his head*
PapatymisonN: IM: Whateeeeeeever happened to... the happy lil bunny!
PapatymisonN: IM: Where oh where... could he beeeeee?
Arch mage144: IM: I don't see any potential kidnappers...I don't think.
PapatymisonN: IM: Whateeeeeeever ha- ... ...
Arch mage144: IM: And I didn't bring any poisoned hors d'ouvres.
Lithaladhwen: *The funeral service is, you know. What you'd expect. Lots of comforting talk about why fate is good and how blah blah time for everything etc etc. You know the drill.*
Arch mage144: IM: Hopefully I won't wish I did.
PapatymisonN: IM: I need to get lad.
Arch mage144: (I didn't know he swung that way.)
Besyanteo: (I'm glad someone else said that first. =D)
PapatymisonN: (... I.... missed that.)
Lithaladhwen: *At the end of the service people are kind of milling about. There's some weeping and the widow in question decides to have a talk with.....*
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 5-sided die: 4
Lithaladhwen: *Elle.*
PapatymisonN: ...
PapatymisonN: *looking hard at the "dragoon"*
PapatymisonN: ... I could swear...
EternalDragonAya: *this is noooot the dragoon you're looking for, really!
Besyanteo: *Ignore. He's earning money doing nothing. That's always fun*
Lithaladhwen: (Move along.)
PapatymisonN: (Oh. Also. ALL Domanadas go out in disguise.)
Lithaladhwen: Oh, you know it's just so hard sometimes. But it's so wonderful that so many people came.
Lithaladhwen: He was a wonderful man, you know. I'm so glad you're here. We've just been so on edge. It's only a little while ago a friend of the family... passed on.
Lithaladhwen: It was....similar. You know. *sniff* They had to have a *w* You know. A closed-casket funeral.
Arch mage144: *sighs heavily* IM: Man. Funerals are boring. Somebody died, we all move on.
EternalDragonAya: *trying to sound gruff* My condolences..though if you don't mind me asking...erm, why?
EternalDragonAya: IM: Not that I already have the idea that the dead person was mangled beyond belief...
Lithaladhwen: Oh, well, the death, it was.... *wipes a tear* I'm sorry. It just.... wasn't appropriate to have an open-casket service.
PapatymisonN: *rocking back and forth on his heels*
PapatymisonN: IM: C'mon... someone try something stupid...
Lithaladhwen: *The only person here who doesn't seem to be talking to anyone else is the fur-clad woman with the umbrella. She's just walking back and forth like a lion pacing in a cage.*
Besyanteo: <_<
EternalDragonAya: Rather...hm. What's the word? Brutal?
Lithaladhwen: * She's all wrapped up so it's hard to tell what she looks like, but she's been here for the whole service, just kind of minding her own business.*
Besyanteo: *sniffs idly, wondering if that's real fur.*
Lithaladhwen: *flinches a little* Y-yes.
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah, it's real. Hell yes.*
PapatymisonN: *begins to orbit, eyeing guests...*
Lithaladhwen: *Zea walks over and sits down next to James after making her priestly rounds*
Lithaladhwen: Hey.
Besyanteo: IM: ... Yeah. Still a little musky even.
Lithaladhwen: It's just so sad. They were both such wonderful men. Such generous philanthropists, you know.
Lithaladhwen: Such wonderful men.
EternalDragonAya: That's..unfortunate, I am sorry.
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
PapatymisonN: *walks by "the dragoon"*
Besyanteo: *continues to watch the pacing woman*
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: *The woman just kind of...lurks. Not talking to anyone, but not really sneaking either. Just there.*
PapatymisonN: *peeks*
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
PapatymisonN: *and... keeps going*
Besyanteo: IM: ... Weird.
Arch mage144: *looks over at Zea* Do you enjoy this job?
Besyanteo: *He'll keep watching her, between making sure nothing else weird is going on*
Lithaladhwen: *blink* Yeah. Sure I do. I mean, someone should do it.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm not going to tell him it's boring and repetitive here in front of the mourners. Honestly.
PapatymisonN: *waves at Zea as he goes past... and ignores James*
Lithaladhwen: IM: How much more unprofessional could you get?
Lithaladhwen: *waves to Kae'oss*
Arch mage144: Well, yeah, I guess someone should.
Arch mage144: Death's an important part of life, isn't it?
Arch mage144: IM: ...that sounded really weird.
Besyanteo: *If he catches Zea's eye at any point, he'll smile and nod, but he's still curious about that weird lady. Who dresses like that anyway?*
Lithaladhwen: Exactly. *pleased little smile* ...Exactly.
Lithaladhwen: *Zea nods back to Michael*
Lithaladhwen: *That woman sits down on a bench, apparently people-watching.*
PapatymisonN: *is Elle still being yakked at by the widow?*
PapatymisonN: *groovy. Kae stands by her for a second*
PapatymisonN: ... where do I know you from?
Lithaladhwen: (She was just talking about how generous and wonderful her husband and friends are.)
Arch mage144: *cracks his neck noisily* No one you know, right? *points to the casket*
EternalDragonAya: ...excuse me?
Lithaladhwen: Oh, no. I'm not here for personal reasons. I didn't know him.
PapatymisonN: C'mon. I know you from somewhere. Put my brain at ease.
Arch mage144: Ah, that's...
Arch mage144: ...I'm not sure if it's good exactly...erm...yeah.
Arch mage144: IM: *mental facesmack*
EternalDragonAya: I am afraid you are mistaken, unless you are a native of..
EternalDragonAya: IM: Uh...where, oh, yeah.
EternalDragonAya: ...Riva.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* I'd do the same for someone I know.
Arch mage144: Hey, I'd hope so.
Lithaladhwen: *w* I wouldn't ask to be paid though. I am getting paid for this.
PapatymisonN: ... I'm local.
PapatymisonN: ... ma'am.
Arch mage144: If I died, I'm not sure who I'd want to talk at my funeral.
Arch mage144: Then again, no plans of death for this half-demon prince. *smirk* Not soon.
Lithaladhwen: Not again, right? That saves me more trouble than you can imagine. I don't mind hanging out with you outside of my head, but that's honestly where I prefer most people.
PapatymisonN: *I'm SURE Elle recognizes HIM... he's that no good son of that Intelligence Director...*
Arch mage144: Yeah, right. Not again.
Arch mage144: The first time was weird enough.
EternalDragonAya: IM: Damnit, it's that no-good son of the intelligence director. Figures.
Lithaladhwen: *w* How did you know I'd be able to hear you? Do I, like...glow to the dead or something?
EternalDragonAya: ...and I am not a woman.
PapatymisonN: And I'm not handsome. But we're all in denial about something.
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow* Hard to explain, really, but you had a hell of an aura. When you're a spirit, everything is kind of grey and indistinct. It's like being in thick fog.
Lithaladhwen: *nods*
Arch mage144: You stood out a little.
EternalDragonAya: *seriously not trying to sound like a woman!* ...I am going to warn you once, stop this line of questioning or...else.
Lithaladhwen: I guess that makes sense.
PapatymisonN: ... or else... I love that term. Vague, yet serious.
PapatymisonN: *rolls eyes* Fine. I'm done.
Besyanteo: ... <_<
Besyanteo: >_>
Besyanteo: *scoots on over by that person in the hyoooooooj fur coat*
EternalDragonAya: IM: Thank Ishtar.
Besyanteo: *and makes a show of looking guard like. Watching the entrance. From by the bench*
PapatymisonN: (Y'know, one way to look at them... is to say that they're ... related, those two.)
Besyanteo: *It's hard to tell if he's investigating her now, or just playing games*
Lithaladhwen: *She tips her umbrella backward and nods up at him. From what he can see, she has skin in shades of grey and short-cropped black hair.*
PapatymisonN: (Kae could be... Prince Kaeleb Tymothi Rowen Lannix Domanada!)
Lithaladhwen: *In fact, she looks a little like...*
PapatymisonN: (Or something.)
Lithaladhwen: *...this.*
Besyanteo: IM: ... Interesting.
PapatymisonN: (No... Prince Oar'Dur!)
Besyanteo: *He nods back*
PapatymisonN: (Rai'm and Rees'n... Kae'Oss and Oar'Dur... GET IT?)
Lithaladhwen: *She doesn't seem to have been crying with the others. Her face is totally dry. She gazes at him appraisingly* Did you know the deceased?
Besyanteo: (<_< ... *shoots Chuck*)
Besyanteo: Nope.
Besyanteo: You?
Lithaladhwen: *nods, as if satisfied with his answer* Briefly, yes.
PapatymisonN: So, Riva, huh?
PapatymisonN: What town?
Besyanteo: Only breifly?
EternalDragonAya: IM: Crap!
EternalDragonAya: IM: A name! Quick!
PapatymisonN: ^_^
EternalDragonAya: James...town. Jamestown. It's very small.
Lithaladhwen: Yes. He made quite an impression, but our acquaintance was not... not a long one, I'm afraid.
PapatymisonN: Oh... is that the one where that crazed cult killed themselves?
Besyanteo: Ah...
Lithaladhwen: What about you? If you didn't know him, what brings you here?
EternalDragonAya: Of course not.
Besyanteo: *taps a sword hilt* Good money to put the mourner's minds at ease.
PapatymisonN: So which one was it?
Lithaladhwen: *small smile* Hm. Fair.
EternalDragonAya: ...I don't know. And I don't care.
EternalDragonAya: IM: Go apathy!
Besyanteo: IF you don't mind my sayying,
Besyanteo: you seem a little ansty.
PapatymisonN: *takes another look at her... particularly what MUST be distinctive skin...*
Arch mage144: Hmm. *scratches the back of his neck* I'm hungry.
PapatymisonN: *those helmets don't cover EVERYTHING*
Besyanteo: (No, but there's such a thing as neck armor)
Besyanteo: (Gorgets.)
Besyanteo: (=D PArt of any decent full plate)
Lithaladhwen: Um... I think that there are some refreshments inside. If you want to go grab some coffee and one of those little sandwiches I don't think anyone will mind.
PapatymisonN: (I mean the face. The eyes. It can't ALL be covered.)
Lithaladhwen: Do I? *sighs* I've just never been any good at these things. I did feel an obligation to come, but I never know what to do at these events.
Besyanteo: (Depends. It's possible, but difficult/expensive to do. :o)
Besyanteo: Mmm. I can sympathize. Our people don't honor their dead -quite- like this.
Arch mage144: (If someone is wearing a face-covering helmet you really can't see shit)
PapatymisonN: *gives up, then*
Arch mage144: (Not without seriously violating her personal space)
EternalDragonAya: (Word.)
EternalDragonAya: IM: Win!
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* I suppose it's the family's prerogative.
EternalDragonAya: IM: Thank you for trying but I'd rather not get in deep trouble today.
Arch mage144: Refreshments?
Arch mage144: Alright!
Lithaladhwen: *Zea nods*
Arch mage144: *heads over toward the building*
Besyanteo: I imagine, if you didn't feel a need to be here, no one would be opposed to your leaving... some people like to talk to the coffin, aparently.
Arch mage144: (It'd be really hard to discern any of the features of someone wearing this, for example)
Besyanteo: I haven't been to many of these, either.
Lithaladhwen: *James ends up walking past Michael and a woman who once again tilts her umbrella back to toss him a wink. Isn't that familiar.*
Lithaladhwen: I don't see any reason to talk to what's left of him. I heard it isn't much.
Arch mage144: IM: I believe she may have winked at me.
Arch mage144: IM: ...you idiot, you don't hit on people at a funeral.
Arch mage144: IM: A funeral.
Besyanteo: I can understand. It'd make much more sense to communcate with the deparitng spirit...
Arch mage144: IM: Wait a minute, I know her from somewhere.
Besyanteo: But that's their thing I guess.
Arch mage144: ...Quinn, right?
Besyanteo: <.<?
PapatymisonN: ... this is gonna bug me all day, "fella"...
Lithaladhwen: *glances from Michael to James* Yes? *arches an eyebrow*
Arch mage144: Ah, nothing. I just...I recognized you from somewhere.
Lithaladhwen: *Zea looks up to see who James is talking to and promptly smacks herself in the face.*
Arch mage144: *adjusts his hair*
EternalDragonAya: Well too bad.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Oh, for fuck's sake. I shouldn't have said anything.
Lithaladhwen: Hm. We haven't met. But, nonetheless. James, right?
PapatymisonN: Well drat.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Who else. She said I'd know when I saw him. She was right.
PapatymisonN: ... hey, you been watching the news?
Besyanteo: IM: .... YOu haven't met, but you know him on a first name basis.
Besyanteo: IM: Right.
PapatymisonN: Apparently the king's going to "get rid of corruption" in the castle.
PapatymisonN: What a load.
Arch mage144: Yeah. You must've heard of me from somewhere, eh? *hairsweep*
EternalDragonAya: ...get rid of corruption? What corruption?
Arch mage144: (It's kinda like a hairflip, but since his hair stands straight up at all times, just imagine him running his fingers up through it.)
Besyanteo: IM: ... And I think I might jsut hate him, to boot. o_o
Lithaladhwen: A mutual friend, I suppose. How did you like the service? I think the girl did a pretty good job.
PapatymisonN: Oh, like, rogue mages in the basements, or some crap like that.
Arch mage144: ( http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29551659/ )
PapatymisonN: I say, he just got found out and is covering his ass...
Arch mage144: (James is on the right in case anyone doesn't know what he looks like.)
Arch mage144: Zea? Yeah, she did excellently.
Arch mage144: Did you know the deceased?
Lithaladhwen: Briefly.
Besyanteo: (AH.)
Arch mage144: Oh, really? Who was he? Or she?
Lithaladhwen: He was...oh, a philanthropist. Liked to prove he deserved his money by donating to causes that sounded good.
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Lost him again)
EternalDragonAya: Found out?
EternalDragonAya: What do you mean FOUND OUT?
Besyanteo: (Hahahahaha.)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
PapatymisonN: What do you think?
PapatymisonN: Someone'
PapatymisonN: s ON to his lame ass.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (There we go.)
PapatymisonN: C'mon. A guy like that's just TOO good to be true.
Arch mage144: Oh, one of those. Right.
Arch mage144: Uses his money for "the good of the people" or whatever.
Besyanteo: *Seems to be doing a stellar job of PRetending James doesn't exist*
Lithaladhwen: Yes. *makes hard eye contact with him* Had a lot of interests in various religious charities. He and a few of his friends. Real nice guys.
EternalDragonAya: ...
EternalDragonAya: *grabs Kae by his shirt collar* e_e ...c'mere for a second.
Lithaladhwen: Pity what happened. Those poor men. And they did so much good while they were here. *sigh*
PapatymisonN: ^_^ *GRABBED*
Besyanteo: >_>
Besyanteo: ... excuse me.
PapatymisonN: It's alright, it's alright...
Besyanteo: *heads off towards the inevitable altercation*
PapatymisonN: Don't worry, I got it.
Lithaladhwen: *nods to him as he goes*
Besyanteo: *and, getting to the Dragoon and Kae* What's going on now?
Arch mage144: *eye contacted, hard*
Arch mage144: IM: She's staring at me.
Besyanteo: (Theym ake a mini-storm with their eyes!)
Besyanteo: (Anime fans giggle!)
Arch mage144: Yeah, it's a shame...
Besyanteo: (Hee hee!)
Lithaladhwen: The boy's gone. Want to know a secret, James?
EternalDragonAya: Oh no you DON'T got it.
EternalDragonAya: *drags Kae off* e_e
Besyanteo: Hey!
Lithaladhwen: *slow, sly grin...with fangs, because James should occasionally be on the OTHER end of that*
PapatymisonN: ^^ *dragged off* See ya in a bit!
EternalDragonAya: Shut up!
Arch mage144: o_o Sure.
EternalDragonAya: *shakes!*
Besyanteo: *following after Elle and Kae!* Calm down!
Besyanteo: What's this about?
PapatymisonN: It's about someone revealing their secret identity.
Lithaladhwen: *Zea mills around some more with mourners, offering what comfort people look for from religious authority people.*
Besyanteo: <_<
PapatymisonN: And being nothing but a prissy little princess about it. ^_^
Besyanteo: ... Uh huh.
Besyanteo: In other words,
Besyanteo: you're harassing a guest.
Arch mage144: Secrets are occasionally interesting.
Besyanteo: ... or a guard, I'm guessing.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, if I've heard anything about you.... you'll love this one. *Quinn pulls out a small half-sheet of paper. Looks like a pamphlet of some kind.*
Arch mage144: *takes it and reads*
Lithaladhwen: *The header describes a fundraiser headed by a man named Gregor Vincent, with the current patrons and benefactors listed below at various levels of giving.*
Lithaladhwen: *Many of the names have been crossed off.*
Arch mage144: .....
EternalDragonAya: *growls, then mutters to Kae* Listen up you little shit, you cut this crap out right NOW or I'll assure you, your life will get really, really miserable in the near future.
Besyanteo: *looking to the dragoon for confirmation on the guard bit*
Lithaladhwen: *Including the one for this guy who's just being buried.*
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow* I see.
Besyanteo: IM: ... The things you hear that' you're not suppsoed to.
Besyanteo: <_<
EternalDragonAya: *looks like a guard alright!*
Lithaladhwen: Do you? *big grin*
PapatymisonN: Eh. It was miserable in the past.
Besyanteo: You realize this person could probably beat the shit out of you, and has a legal excuse to get away with it?
Besyanteo: *to Kae*
EternalDragonAya: It can get worse, now SHUT UP.
Lithaladhwen: (Poor Michael has to keep his pseudo-coworkers in line.)
EternalDragonAya: IM: GRRR.
Arch mage144: Of course I do.
Besyanteo: IM: If I was as strong as Dad, I'd jsut knock their ugly heads together*
Arch mage144: ...what's your point?
Besyanteo: (-*)
PapatymisonN: *grins s'more* OK, OK. I got my anser. I'm done. ^_^
PapatymisonN: *answer
Lithaladhwen: *jerks her head over to the casket* You want to know why it's a closed-casket? And why his friend's was, too?
Arch mage144: Sure. *smirk* Why?
Besyanteo: *to Kae* Stop harassing him. <_< ... For god's sake, it's a funeral.
Besyanteo: HAve some dignity.
Lithaladhwen: *whisper* Because they gave more than his friends. They didn't have it nearly so bad. Wives weren't happy when they found them, though. *seriously giggles a little*
Besyanteo: *heads back!*
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow* I see. Found him where exactly?
Arch mage144: *quietly, of course*
PapatymisonN: I didn't harass. I did NOT harass.
PapatymisonN: *shrug/.
PapatymisonN: *
Besyanteo: *stops and looks back* Ok, allow me to rephrased.
Besyanteo: (Rephrase*)
Lithaladhwen: *eyes filled with laughter at their little shared joke* Oh, you know. Dive hotels. Wherever.
Besyanteo: Stop trying to get the nice bodygaurd to kill you for your massive stupidity.
Arch mage144: ...*mental laughter*
Arch mage144: I see.
Arch mage144: IM: Oh man, she deserves high five.
Besyanteo: *then continues on!*
Arch mage144: IM: Coolest mom ever.
PapatymisonN: IM: Yeah. STUPIDITY. That's what it was.
Besyanteo: *to where he was originally watching over everything!*
Lithaladhwen: *waves to Michael as he comes back* Problems?
Arch mage144: *hands back the pamphlet* I assume you need this more than I do.
EternalDragonAya: IM: I'm so getting mom to ride his dad's ass for that.
Lithaladhwen: Yes. *takes it back* I will be needing that.
EternalDragonAya: IM: ....in a figurative manner of course...
EternalDragonAya: *coughs*
Besyanteo: Mmm. Sort of.
Besyanteo: Some guy was harassing another bodyguard.
PapatymisonN: (Um, uncle's.)
Lithaladhwen: Shame. Such a nice ceremony to be disrupted like that.
Besyanteo: And seems to think he's king shit of turd mountain. >_>
Besyanteo: *meaningful look at Kae*
EternalDragonAya: (Woops, uncle then)
Lithaladhwen: Hm. He's not so bad. I thought he was a nice enough young man.
Besyanteo: Aparently not when he sees a woman in armor. *shrug*
Besyanteo: Though aparently her gender's supposed to be secret.
Lithaladhwen: IM: If she took it off, I bet his demeanor would be very different. He was certainly courteous enough to me.
Besyanteo: She'd going to kill her throat faking her voice that way.
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow*
PapatymisonN: (Dae: Oh, alright, I'll talk to him.)
PapatymisonN: (The next day: ... yeah, fine, it's FUN, but they get pissed, alright?)
Lithaladhwen: Ah. Well. I've known women to do stranger things, up to and including odd magical tricks. Not my favorite thing in the world, but whatever makes them happy lets them make me happy. So, it's all fine, I'd say.
Besyanteo: Mmm.
Arch mage144: IM: I think the context for what she's talking about makes it considerably more amusing.
EternalDragonAya: IM: Damnit all, apparently I need to work on my male voices or something.
Lithaladhwen: You know what? I think I just have to go talk to the nice priestly girl. Boys, you can certainly come with if you like. I know James is already acquainted with her. ... Somewhat.
Lithaladhwen: Shall we?
PapatymisonN: *leans over* You're fun, by the way.
Besyanteo: Sure.
Arch mage144: Yeah, I know Zea.
Arch mage144: Sure, let's go talk to her. I need a sandwich, though. *runs inside to get one*
Arch mage144: *and a cup of coffee*
EternalDragonAya: And you're obnoxious.
EternalDragonAya: IM: Just like *insert name of Tai's son here*
Lithaladhwen: *They head over and Zea sighs. The girl takes a seat in the middle of the bench and gestures that they should join her.*
PapatymisonN: I know. I just hate secrets. They just... divide people.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Oh, man. Mom just had to come.
Arch mage144: *runs out with food and returns to Zea's seat*
Lithaladhwen: *Quinn gives Kae'oss a little wave as she crosses the courtyard place.*
Lithaladhwen: Hey James. ...Hi, Mom.
Arch mage144: I'm back! *shoving a sandwich in his mouth and following it with coffee*
Besyanteo: IM: ... Did the world just suddenly get smaller?
Lithaladhwen: Hey. Michael, wasn't it?
Lithaladhwen: Oh, so that's his name. Hi, Michael.
Lithaladhwen: He a friend of yours?
Lithaladhwen: .....Yes and no.
PapatymisonN: *wave... nervously*
Besyanteo: (... x_x got pulled off)
Lithaladhwen: Zea, honey. Honestly.
Lithaladhwen: (Hm?)
Besyanteo: (I got pulled away, so of couurse peopel talked to Mike. :{)
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow* Your mom is officially awesome, Zea.
Lithaladhwen: (Ah. Sorry 'bout that.)
Besyanteo: *he just Nods to Zea, as she gets sucked into her own conversation*
Lithaladhwen: ....
Lithaladhwen: *smiles at James* I think I like your friend, Zea.
PapatymisonN: (I hunger. BRB.)
Lithaladhwen: Though your "yes and no" friend seems like a nice guy.
Lithaladhwen: I can see why yes, but why no?
Lithaladhwen: Mom.
Lithaladhwen: It's a fair question.
Besyanteo: <_< ... >_> ... *if there's a break in the ocnversation?*
Lithaladhwen: ....No. No it isn't.
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah! Shoot.)
Besyanteo: I just met her once. We had fun talking, and she happened to see my garden at home with a mutual friend. Not much to talk about.
Besyanteo: Dad's still taking good care of the sapling, by the way.
Lithaladhwen: Well. That sounds lovely. You must have quite the garden, then. Zea's very sniffy about those things.
Lithaladhwen: I am not! ...And thanks, Michael. I'm glad it's doing well.
Besyanteo: *jsut smiles*
Lithaladhwen: I figured you guys would be able to take care of it.
Arch mage144: IM: Zea's garden is a little different from the usual gardens.
Besyanteo: Glad to know we made an impression.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, I-- *is silenced by a fierce glare from Zea*
Lithaladhwen: It was lovely, Michael.
Lithaladhwen: I should come back sometime. My garden was trashed a while back. I've been replanting everything.
Arch mage144: *raises a hand* I've been helping.
Besyanteo: *blank look* Wow... I'm sorry to hear that. Can we help out somehow?
Lithaladhwen: Hm. So I've heard. *smile* I bet you're handy to keep around, James.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, I don't know. I might come by to trade seedlings or something eventually.
Arch mage144: I'm pretty useful. *grins*
Besyanteo: *nods* I'll keep that in mind and see if I can't put some good ones together.
Lithaladhwen: I hope she's making good use of you, then. Hate to see such a generous young man go to waste.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Please, Lord, make her stop.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I would appreciate that a lot.
Besyanteo: IM: I feel so sorry for her right now.
Arch mage144: Well, yeah, I guess she is. *scratches the back of his neck*
Lithaladhwen: Hm. *meaningful look to Zea* Tell me, you ever put that hair away, or do you keep it up all the time?
Lithaladhwen: IM: I can't take her anywhere. And when I don't she shows up anyway to flirt with my friends.
Lithaladhwen: IM: And it's always going to be like this because she'll probably outlive me. This will happen when I'm 90 years old.
Lithaladhwen: IM: All my toothless old man friends will be slavering over my MOTHER.
Arch mage144: Her hair? *blinks* It looks fine the way it is, Quinn.
Arch mage144: *scratch*
Arch mage144: Oh, you mean my hair?
Lithaladhwen: So. Um. Michael. You mind if I come by in a few days? My bloodvines actually all survived. Harder to kill with shadow energy, as you're aware.
Lithaladhwen: So I've still got that collection.
Arch mage144: *smirks* This is the way I style it. I suppose I could change it if circumstances warranted.
Besyanteo: *he nods* That'd be fine.
Arch mage144: *takes off his headband and his hair falls down around his face, which makes him look a lot like a teal-haired version of his father*
Arch mage144: The headband is enchanted. That's how it stays up.
Arch mage144: *returns his hair to its typical style*
PapatymisonN: (Back!)
Lithaladhwen: *Gives an I-told-you-so look to Zea, who chooses to ignore it*
Lithaladhwen: Well. It's very different, but I have to say I like both.
Lithaladhwen: I trust your judgment on it. I like a man who isn't afraid to be a little creative now and again.
PapatymisonN: IM: I wonder if she's gonna try and do him, too...
Arch mage144: It's Gunnir tradition to adopt a creative hairstyle.
Besyanteo: *looks around idly, to see how the funeral goers are doing*
Lithaladhwen: *Most of them are milling around the widow, who abandoned the dragoon as a sounding board for how wonderful her late husband was.*
PapatymisonN: (*Katepoke*)
Besyanteo: IM: Alls well that... well no, I guess it isn't ending well for them. But it could be worse.
Lithaladhwen: I don't think I'd have done well at Gunnir, no offense.
Lithaladhwen: No matter what else you guys do, someone would think I'm crazy. They just would.
EternalDragonAya: (*rars*
Lithaladhwen: Perhaps it's the human experimentation.
Arch mage144: ...yeah, that'd probably do it.
Lithaladhwen: *nods*
Arch mage144: Necromancy is well-tolerated as long as you aren't, er, perceived as potentially dangerous.
Arch mage144: Personally, I don't think you're dangerous to anyone who doesn't have it coming, but I'm not Gunnir's administration.
Arch mage144: They don't take kindly to demon summonings, either, which is ironic, since they don't seem to have a problem with demon attendings.
PapatymisonN: And what do you think of "secrets", o dragoon type person?
Besyanteo: *just smirks a little*
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
Lithaladhwen: *buffs her fingernails on her fur coat* Some demons are just easier to... summon than others, I guess.
Lithaladhwen: Speaking of which. Why are you watching me work? Should I expect an entourage now wherever I go?
Besyanteo: (Jeridan: *appears in a summoning circle one night in his sheep print pajamas* ... What the fuck. No seriously.)
Lithaladhwen: You and James and Solis and Sorune and sometimes Sher'khan. There has to be a line.
Lithaladhwen: (Ha!!)
Arch mage144: Hey, I'm just looking out for you.
Lithaladhwen: James knows why I'm here. We've talked. It's fine.
Arch mage144: You don't appreciate that? *toothy grin*
EternalDragonAya: ...I think there are some worth keeping.
Lithaladhwen: *covers her face with her hands* You freaking people.
EternalDragonAya: Now would you go away already?
Besyanteo: I could probably bug Sorune for oyu, though.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs* No, it's fine. There's no stopping him at this point. You know how he gets.
Besyanteo: Not from experience, but I've heard stories.
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: Is it true her turns pink on a full moon, from some decae old curse?
Besyanteo: (he turns*)
Arch mage144: o_O Sorune turns pink?
Lithaladhwen: Uh... I don't know.
Besyanteo: (decade*)
PapatymisonN: As you command, Yer Grace. *walks away, chuckling*
Arch mage144: Hah!
Lithaladhwen: I bet I could find out. You think?
Besyanteo: I've heard something like that, yeah.
Lithaladhwen: I don't care if you can find out.
Lithaladhwen: Don't.
Lithaladhwen: Please.
Lithaladhwen: Hey. Who's the authority figure here, young lady?
EternalDragonAya: Grr.
Lithaladhwen: If I want to know whether your friends turn pink and where, I'm a grown woman and I can investigate if I want.
Lithaladhwen: >_> *sighs*
Besyanteo: ... Isn't that stalking or something?
Arch mage144: Not if she asks him.
Besyanteo: ... Ok, you have me there.
PapatymisonN: *goes over to Zea* Hey.
Lithaladhwen: *looks exhausted by her mother's antics* Hey, Kae'oss. I presume you've met my mother?
Lithaladhwen: Hi there. Nice to see you again.
PapatymisonN: Uh huh.
PapatymisonN: Hey.
Lithaladhwen: How you been? Where's that cute little blue number I last saw you with?
PapatymisonN: We broke up.
Arch mage144: IM: Blue? Drow girl?
Lithaladhwen: *pouts* That's too bad. When did this happen?
Lithaladhwen: IM: And how long has it been, I wonder.
PapatymisonN: Few weeks ago. It happens.
Lithaladhwen: It does. Always sad, though. I hope you haven't been lacking for company in her absence. You seemed like a nice boy to me.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: So. James. How are the sandwiches?
Arch mage144: They're great!
PapatymisonN: I... well... no, actually.
Arch mage144: *finishes his coffee*
PapatymisonN: Nothing since. But that's fine.
Arch mage144: Really good, in fact. Really good. Rich people doling out food? Can't pass that up.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Fine for me. I like a man who's making up for lost time.
Lithaladhwen: Well, as long as you're doing all right. I hate to see a friend feeling lonely.
Lithaladhwen: Breaks my poor little heart. *mockpout*
PapatymisonN: *clears his throat* I'm fine...
Lithaladhwen: That's great. I think I'm going to go get one. I'll be right back.
Lithaladhwen: *books it over to the food to avoid watching her mother ...well, do anything.*
Besyanteo: ... *just follows her*
Lithaladhwen: I'm glad. You know, it's been so long since we've talked.
Lithaladhwen: So much has apparently been going on with you. We should catch up.
PapatymisonN: ... uh, yeah. Maybe... <.<
Besyanteo: *and, when they're our of earshot of her mother...* ... I take it she does this alot.
PapatymisonN: IM: ... it's Zea's MOM...
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. Yeah, she does.
Besyanteo: I hope I didn't tell her anything you didn't want her knowing?
Lithaladhwen: Hm? Oh, no it's fine.
Arch mage144: *still hanging with Quinn, figures Zea will come back*
Lithaladhwen: What she really wanted to know was whether we'd slept together. I told her no, because....well, you know. We haven't.
Lithaladhwen: That's really all she cares about sometimes. My "social life."
Besyanteo: *he nods* Yeah, I was hoping that wasn't where she was going. >_>;
Lithaladhwen: Oh, that's always where she's going. That's where her head is, along with everything else.
Lithaladhwen: That sounds lovely.
Besyanteo: Euhg. Human parents.
Lithaladhwen: So, how long have you known Zea? You guys get along okay?
Lithaladhwen: She writes, but she doesn't tell me everything. *wink*
Lithaladhwen: I've got one of those.
Lithaladhwen: Just met him a few weeks ago.
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: So what is she?
Lithaladhwen: Half-succubus. She's got that big fur coat to hide her wings.
PapatymisonN: I haven't known her long. A couple of months.
Lithaladhwen: Makes me mostly human, but not totally.
Besyanteo: ... Ah. That explains the smell. Reminiscient of animal sweat and hormones.
Lithaladhwen: *frowns a little* Hm.
PapatymisonN: And... no. Nothing's happened between us.
Besyanteo: .,.. Er. No offense.
PapatymisonN: She's... not really like that.
Besyanteo: I'd pegged you as a full human. <.<;
Arch mage144: Months here, as well.
Arch mage144: I met her on a job I was doing. That turned out rather poorly, but that's in the past.
Lithaladhwen: No problem. I probably smell like dead bodies and occasional flowers.
Arch mage144: We seem to get along reasonably well.
Lithaladhwen: Hm. I heard about that, actually.
Lithaladhwen: Do you? That's good.
Lithaladhwen: You know how mothers can worry.
Besyanteo: Heh. I just remind myself of what you do when that gets my attention.
Arch mage144: IM: ...yeah, I guess I do.
Arch mage144: *shrugs*
Besyanteo: ... Much like I try not to think about what she does. >_>
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. That's probably a good idea.
Lithaladhwen: *inspects James*
Arch mage144: *is inspected*
Lithaladhwen: *nods to herself* That's fine, then. You'll be fine.
Besyanteo: *grabs himself a little something to eat!*
Arch mage144: IM: Er.
Arch mage144: Yeah, of course I will!
Lithaladhwen: *does so as well, lingering at the table because she REALLY doesn't want to go back yet*
Arch mage144: IM: What the hell is she talking about?
Lithaladhwen: So. You're living at her place, right?
Besyanteo: I'm bound to stay here until everyone's gone home, if I want to collect pay... But I'd about bet you can head off if you wanted.
Lithaladhwen: Have you slept together yet?
Lithaladhwen: *shakes her head sadly* I'm being paid to be here, too.
Besyanteo: Ah...
Arch mage144: What?
Arch mage144: o_o
PapatymisonN: *kind of chuckles to himself*
Lithaladhwen: You heard me.
Arch mage144: No, I...uh...no.
Arch mage144: IM: I sleep on the couch.
Lithaladhwen: It's a fair question isn't it? You can tell me.
Arch mage144: IM: ...that's a hell of a state for an incubus, isn't it?
Arch mage144: IM: She raises a valid point.
Arch mage144: *wingflick*
Lithaladhwen: Though I'm really afraid to leave her there with James. He's an incubus, you know. This could end up being really weird.
Lithaladhwen: Hm.
Besyanteo: ... Ah. That'd explain him, too.
Lithaladhwen: That's interesting. You kids nowadays.
Besyanteo: I don't mind sayying something about him bothers me.
PapatymisonN: (So damned CHASTE...)
Lithaladhwen: You grew up on the surface, though, didn't you?
Arch mage144: IM: Maybe I should try to sleep with her.
Besyanteo: *drinks a bit of coffee* Though I wasn't sure what.
Arch mage144: Yeah, partly at the castle, partly at Gunnir. About fifty-fifty.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. No, he gets that a lot. I'm not surprised and I don't think he'd be surprised either.
Lithaladhwen: *nods* That explains it.
Lithaladhwen: Maybe it's better that way, though.
Lithaladhwen: She tell you about her last boy?
Arch mage144: *looks midly offended* You don't think I'm living up to my heritage!?
Arch mage144: No, we don't discuss ex's.
Besyanteo: *earflick*
Besyanteo: ... He's sayying something about heritage.
Lithaladhwen: Ah. Well, it isn't an insult. If you knew more about him, you'd understand.
Besyanteo: I think the weird parts going to come in in a minute.
Arch mage144: Bastard?
Lithaladhwen: *growls back in her throat and bares her teeth a little*
Besyanteo: IM: Though it'd be nice if he'd raised his voice on any other word.
Lithaladhwen: I was glad when she killed him.
Arch mage144: I'll take that as a yes.
Arch mage144: IM: Whoa, okay.
Arch mage144: I see.
Arch mage144: IM: Rough breakup.
Lithaladhwen: That, James, is why it might actually work in your favor that you weren't raised around all that silliness. It doesn't work for her.
Arch mage144: I see.
Arch mage144: IM: Hm. Maybe I should lay off the "pride in your demonic heritage" stuff.
Lithaladhwen: Heritage.....oh, hell.
Lithaladhwen: There's only one thing a succubus and an incubus have in common as heritage goes, and I don't think I want them talking about that.
Lithaladhwen: We should go back.
Besyanteo: *nods, and snaps dow nthe last of his sammich*
Arch mage144: Well, that's...interesting.
Besyanteo: *and heads back over, with more coffee! Mmm, coffee*
Arch mage144: IM: Note to self. Consider attempting to try to maybe ask Zea to sleep with you.
Lithaladhwen: *Zea and Michael get back, coffee in hand*
Lithaladhwen: *Quinn makes eye contact with James with great importance. Things have been said that he should remember!*
Lithaladhwen: So. Zea. Good coffee?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, Mom. Funeral coffee. It rocks my world.
Lithaladhwen: Hope you guys are okay over here.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I can't believe I left them with her.
CGNakibe: (James: ... please don't say that. ;_; )
Lithaladhwen: IM: That may have been a bad idea.
CGNakibe: (Solis: Say what? Funeral?)
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow, like he's not quite sure what the hell is being communicated to him*
Besyanteo: *sips coffee idly, watching everyone through half-lidded eyes*
Arch mage144: Yeah, uh.
Arch mage144: Are we done here, Zea?
Lithaladhwen: ...I....think maybe. People seem to be clearing out.
Lithaladhwen: Are... are you coming with, Mom?
Lithaladhwen: *dismissive hand wave* Oh, I have errands to run.
Arch mage144: IM: Errands.
Lithaladhwen: Though I guess I'll have to make time for our friend Kae'oss. Haven't seen him in ages. Good friends should... keep in touch.
CGNakibe: (Knives. Just in case the NEW boyfriend works out like the OLD.)
PapatymisonN: *cough...*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Right.
Besyanteo: ...
Arch mage144: o_o
Besyanteo: IM: He's retarded AND lecherous.
Lithaladhwen: Oooookay! Well! That's awesome, then. I'm glad you've got your plans all settled!
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Lithaladhwen: You know me, hon. Always on the go.
Lithaladhwen: That.....yup.
Lithaladhwen: No argument here.
Arch mage144: So, where are you headed, Zea?
Lithaladhwen: Well, if it's okay with Michael, I'd like to go raid your family's collection.
Besyanteo: Mmm? That's fine, sure.
Arch mage144: Collection?
Besyanteo: Seeds and saplings.
Lithaladhwen: Lovely. Well, Zea. I'll be in town, so I'll probably be dropping by at some point. Have fun with the boys, all right? I'll see you around.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. It was good seeing you.
Lithaladhwen: IM: If incredibly awkward as always.
Lithaladhwen: *Quinn hugs Zea and gives her a kiss on the cheek before heading off*
Lithaladhwen: They have a phenomenal garden.
Arch mage144: Ah, yeah. Plants.
Lithaladhwen: Rather unfriendly guard plant, though.
PapatymisonN: ...
Besyanteo: *he chuckles*
Lithaladhwen: That still eating you, Michael?
PapatymisonN: *edges over to Zea*
Arch mage144: IM: At least Zea knows how to do interesting things with plants.
Besyanteo: Not always. I've found ways around it.
Lithaladhwen: That's good. I would get pissed at it after a while.
PapatymisonN: ... Zea?
Lithaladhwen: Kae'oss?
PapatymisonN: ... it'd be weird if I slept with your mom. o.o
Besyanteo: .....
Lithaladhwen: Why? Everyone else has.
Besyanteo: ........
Lithaladhwen: Besides, you knew her first.
PapatymisonN: ... it's your mom.
Lithaladhwen: If anything, it would be weird if you slept with me.
PapatymisonN: ... no offense, but... I know that's not gonna happen.
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: You want my permission or something?
PapatymisonN: I think that'd make it weirder.
Arch mage144: You know, if you're going to sleep with her mom, talking to her about it is not the greatest idea.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. *shooing motion with her hands* I don't care. I don't want to know. Just... do what you do. Don't mind me.
Besyanteo: IM: I miss Miranda.
Lithaladhwen: I'm used to it.
PapatymisonN: Fine, fine...
PapatymisonN: *shrugs, and leaves*
Besyanteo: <_<
Lithaladhwen: *sighs* Well. That was awesome.
Arch mage144: I think that was a strange thing to even ask you about.
Arch mage144: Usually, you ask people to sleep with them, not if it would be okay to sleep with someone totally unrelated.
Arch mage144: Well, you're related.
Arch mage144: ...but that's not the point.
Lithaladhwen: You might be surprised. That was...pretty typical of conversations with my mother's friends.
Besyanteo: ... Well.
Arch mage144: "Can I sleep with your mom?"
Lithaladhwen: Though, of course, back home most of them assumed I would sleep with them, too.
Besyanteo: Shall we go get paid and get the hell out of here?
Arch mage144: Not necessarily a good assumption.
Lithaladhwen: No. No it isn't.
Lithaladhwen: Michael is right. Let's go.
Arch mage144: *nods*
Besyanteo: *On their off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of payroll?*
Lithaladhwen: *They totally approach that widow, who talks a little more about her husband's generosity as she pays them.*
Lithaladhwen: *Apparently he'd have spared no expense to protect his loved ones, so she doesn't either! You acquire lots of money. I don't care how much. Couple thousand.*
Arch mage144: IM: Yeah, yeah.
Arch mage144: IM: So generous.
Besyanteo: IM: Sweeeet.
Lithaladhwen: (Remember kids. You should invest your tuppence.)
PapatymisonN: *
PapatymisonN: *gets his the next day*
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah, they mail it or something.)
Lithaladhwen: (Invest!)
Besyanteo: (Bleh. RIGHT.)
Besyanteo: (Timeskip, or keen talking on the way over?)
Besyanteo: (The latter allowing anyone who cares to to rejoin the RP)
Lithaladhwen: (Go ahead and timeskip)
Lithaladhwen: (Oh, that's also good. Anyone want in?)
Besyanteo: (Kikee tree lovin may be in it for anyone who can piss off Michael enough!)
Besyanteo: (Kinkee. :{ Blarg. It sucks to typo something you meant to spell wrong from the start.)
Lithaladhwen: (Aye. That it does.)
Lithaladhwen: So, James....what were you talking about with my mom? Do I want to know?
Lithaladhwen: (Charles might jump in with us in a bit.)
Besyanteo: (righto)
Besyanteo: *listens intently*
Arch mage144: Nothing, really.
Arch mage144: Nothing I think you'd have a problem with. o_o
Lithaladhwen: <_< That doesn't sound like my mother.
Lithaladhwen: But okay.
Lithaladhwen: I guess that means I don't want to know.
Lithaladhwen: All that carried over was something about heritage. Trading sex-demon war stories?
Arch mage144: What? Not exactly.
Arch mage144: I don't have "sex-demon war stories."
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* Just asking.
Lithaladhwen: Seemed like a likely guess.
Arch mage144: ...well, it was incorrect.
Besyanteo: ... *ahem* So,
Besyanteo: How did your plants get destroyed?
Lithaladhwen: Oh. People broke into my house. Big death energy blew through everything and most of my plants didn't like it much.
Arch mage144: Yeah, it wasn't cool.
Lithaladhwen: They performed a ritual in my living room that let loose all kinds of horrific crap.
Besyanteo: ... Ouch.
Arch mage144: Really messy.
Besyanteo: Did you return the favor?
Lithaladhwen: <_<
Arch mage144: You bet.
Lithaladhwen: James did. Along with some other guys.
Besyanteo: Mmm. That's good to hear. My next question was going to be if you wanted a hand in that, too.
Lithaladhwen: No, it's fine. It's pretty much sorted out at this point.
Arch mage144: Yeah, we seriously took care of it.
Lithaladhwen: I don't know what there is left to do.
Arch mage144: IM: Your mom's taking care of the rest of it.
Arch mage144: IM: Your mom is awesome.
Besyanteo: ... Oh, I need to ask this:
Besyanteo: James was it? You don't have any kind of allergies do you? I have to ask, because if you do...
Arch mage144: What? No.
Besyanteo: My garden could very well put you into arrest.
Besyanteo: *nods* good.
Lithaladhwen: You know, last time I was in Sorune's garden there was some lich hanging out there. It was the damndest thing.
Besyanteo: ... A lich?
Besyanteo: As in, an uber-powerful, undead demon who gave up his soul?
Arch mage144: ...a lich?
Arch mage144: In a garden?
Arch mage144: Who was he?
Lithaladhwen: I got the feeling it wasn't voluntary. He didn't seem excited about it at least.
Lithaladhwen: He was nice enough.
Arch mage144: Weird.
Lithaladhwen: I don't remember his name. He was just hanging out there, so I figured he wasn't causing problems, why harass him? I just said hi and left it at that.
Arch mage144: o_O I guess.
Besyanteo: ... wow.
Besyanteo: That's... uhm. Special.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. I don't know.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Crazy bastard had his phylactery around his neck. No reason to spread that bit around, though. Kind of personal, I'd say.
Besyanteo: (And... Since I don't see Chuck anywheres,)
Besyanteo: (I'm going to push us forward a bit*
Besyanteo: )*
Besyanteo: *Some time passes, and our trio of adventurers in somber attire is soon walking through the forests of Doma! They're somewhere to the east of the capital,*
Besyanteo: *and heading further that way. Already, the scent of of flowering plants is evident, but not overpowering*
Lithaladhwen: (Zea's just in her work clothes. Black robes are pretty standard for her when she's in professional-mode.)
Besyanteo: (Ahh. ... Still somber looking. :{)
Lithaladhwen: Damn I miss my garden. I just need to cave in and get a greenhouse.
Besyanteo: Well, you did just get paid.
Arch mage144: Wouldn't that be kind of conspicuous?
Lithaladhwen: Probably. At least where I live.
Besyanteo: (*kicks his music player*)
Lithaladhwen: I don't know where I'd put it. My basement is the most secure place I've got but, you know. Basement. No sun.
Besyanteo: Where do you live?
Lithaladhwen: Eh. It's not the most awesome part of town, but it's home.
Besyanteo: Slums? <.< *just curiously*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. I've been asked to stop killing my tresspassers unless I really have to, so I'm not sure how well it'll work in the future. That was kind of half the appeal.
Besyanteo: ... *looks like he's thinking*
Arch mage144: Yeah, building a huge greenhouse in that quarter of the city is asking for trouble.
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 1 66-sided die: 10
Besyanteo: *and... the grey clouds part a little. Not majorly, but aparently it's not going to rain yet*
Besyanteo: Well... What about magic light? I'm sure someone produces it. Though I can't say for what price.
Arch mage144: Is that really adequate for plants?
Lithaladhwen: Hm. Maybe. I could probably look into it. Though I don't know how I'd get it to run on a daily cycle like the sun would.
Besyanteo: In theory, it oculd be made to be.
Lithaladhwen: That's true.
Besyanteo: *to either of them!*
Lithaladhwen: I'll ask around. It's a good idea, and if it works it'll save me a lot of trouble. I'll have to move my subjects, though. Can't keep them in warm wet greenhouse environments. They go bad.
Arch mage144: Yeah, I can imagine.
Arch mage144: Too much flesh.
Besyanteo: ... I never was keen on that part of the bloodvine. But Dad loves the thing, so. .. *shrug*
Lithaladhwen: Ah. Well, to each their own.
CGNakibe: (Its always handy to find ways to keep kids off your lawn.)
Lithaladhwen: I was glad to find other people who appreciate it. Kind of a pet cause of mine.
Lithaladhwen: I'll be glad to see this garden again. Was kind of depressing to lose my flowers. You never realize how important they are until all the beautiful flowers and nice smelling garden stuff is gone.
Lithaladhwen: *head shake* Just sucks. I'll fix it eventually, but it might take another month or two.
Besyanteo: *and, as they walk, they approach a hedge. It's about 10 feet tall, and they're approaching a black, iron gate set into an opening in it*
Arch mage144: IM: Going to have to make sure to help with that.
Arch mage144: This your garden?
Besyanteo: *It's got a nice, big padlock on it. Michael's pulling a key out of his pocket* Yeah. Well, the fence.
Besyanteo: *he opens the gate* The impressive stuff is inside.
Lithaladhwen: (That's a hell of a fence.)
Besyanteo: (=D)
Besyanteo: (Not that at it'd stop anyone, but it's sort of like an ironic warning or something...)
Lithaladhwen: (Something like that.)
Lithaladhwen: It certainly is, from what I remember.
Besyanteo: *The gate, she opens! And Michael goes in first, walking onto a pretty white gravel path*
Lithaladhwen: *Zea follows! She likes gardens!*
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
Besyanteo: (*goes to notepad*)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Arch mage144: So I see.
Besyanteo: *Around the path, there are flowers of ever hue, shape and size. The fragrance is intoxicating, and the air is thick with pollen.*
Besyanteo: *HOwever, there actually isn't alot to see right here. Ahead, there's a corner, where James and Zea can't see beyond form here. It's a little like the entrance to one of those hedge mazes*
Besyanteo: *Michael leads on!*
Lithaladhwen: *Zea follows, content that he knows his way around.*
Arch mage144: *sneezes*
Lithaladhwen: Take care.
Besyanteo: *just smirks knowingly*
Besyanteo: *As they round the corner, the hedge stops, bringing a large, open field into view. Plants are organized here... Immediately ahead are just huge patches of more flowers. More that could be identified if they stood around to look at
Besyanteo: them for hours. Further ahead, there are vegetable patches, vines type plants, berry bushes... and the path leads to a house. Or James thinks it's a house. Zeas knows from experience*
Lithaladhwen: *Zea just looks around like a kid in a huge store full of toys that are full of candy.*
Arch mage144: IM: Well, this is pretty impressive, but I'm not a botanist. I don't know how awesome this really is.
Besyanteo: *It's an average sized structure, that seems to be made entirely of packed earth, shaped in odd curves and loops. As they wind blows, the house shows it's true cahr, as those odd designs make ghostly music while the wind passes by
Besyanteo: and through*
Besyanteo: *And, in front of the house, on the side...*
Besyanteo: *is the biggest damn venus flky trap JAmes has ever seen. It has to be atleast 8 feet tall.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Ah. I remember you.
CGNakibe: (Feed me, Seymour.)
Besyanteo: *If he still hgas attention span after all of this, there seems to be some orchards behind the house*
Besyanteo: (AYE!) >o<)
Lithaladhwen: So, Michael. How do you avoid getting eaten by him? Didn't your father tell him to do it?
Arch mage144: Okay, now that's kind of cool.
Arch mage144: But if it gets anywhere near me I'm going into weed-whacker mode.
Lithaladhwen: Hey. You can tolerate my zombies, I'm sure you'll survive his plants.
Besyanteo: Heh. He did. I've noticed he can only reach so far. He's kind of elastic because of what he's made of, but...
Arch mage144: Zombies are cooler.
Besyanteo: >.> Feh. Zombies rot and fall apart.
Besyanteo: Plants jsut get bigger.
Arch mage144: ...maybe too big.
Lithaladhwen: I don't know. *looks up to the top of the venus fly trap* Michael, you're closer than you think to everything I'm doing.
Lithaladhwen: *shakes her head* IM: Not yet. But soon. Maybe very soon, I don't know.
Besyanteo: ... anyway, I'm going to have to walk through the strawberry patch, and piss off all of dad's traps...
Besyanteo: But you two are probably safe to jsut head to the door, so long as you don't actively step on that thing's roots.
Besyanteo: *said roots are galringly obvious*
Arch mage144: I was planning on doing a tap routine in its mouth, actually.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. That would be rude anyway.
Lithaladhwen: James you go ahead and do that. I'll apologize later.
Lithaladhwen: IM: To the plant.
Lithaladhwen: IM: After it's eaten you.
Besyanteo: If you'll excuse me... *he starts tiptoeing through strawberry vines... and strange looking purple buds, with yellow nodes oon their stalks?*
Arch mage144: I was being sarcastic.
Arch mage144: *makes his way toward the house via the safe zone*
Lithaladhwen: *does so as well, remembering those little plants from last time*
Besyanteo: *Zea saw these before, but JAmes is fairly certain he's enver, ever seen those htings before anywhere.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I should probably just make whatever trades I can and get James home before he pisses off something that isn't intelligent enough to be reasoned with.
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
Besyanteo: (I thought he was being oddly quiet)
Lithaladhwen: (He can still read my screen, though, presumably.)
Besyanteo: *Michael can be seen disappearing behind the house! The flytrap made a grab for him, but it wasn't quick enough.
Besyanteo: *And that house makes some very pretty music in the light breeze*
Besyanteo: *Before long, the front door opens, and Michael's head pops out* Care to join me?
Besyanteo: (*waits now*)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Besyanteo: (Welcome back)
Arch mage144: (Thanks.)
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, sure.
Arch mage144: *anyway, managing to survive so far, I assume...*
Besyanteo: *He seems to be laregly ignored by everything!*
Lithaladhwen: I carry most of my seeds with me when I can, so I should actually have just about anything you guys would find interesting.
Besyanteo: *Though he has the weirdest feelign the eyeless plant is watching ihm*
Besyanteo: *Inside they go?!*
EternalDragonAya has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: *Oh, yeah!*
Lithaladhwen: *Into the house!*
Besyanteo: *Inside, it actually looks fairly normal. HArdwood floors, walls, the works.*
Lithaladhwen: So, I'm not sure what you guys could possibly be lacking, but it's always worth it to see what I've got.
Arch mage144: IM: Plant trades. Yeehaw.
Lithaladhwen: Exotic stuff is easier to come by when you can just summon it.
Besyanteo: I'll go get some samples. Feel free to bump around the kitchen or the living room.
Lithaladhwen: Awesome.
Arch mage144: IM: Reminds me of the weird shit people used to swap at Gunnir.
Besyanteo: *and he heads down some stairs!*
Arch mage144: IM: Spell components, illusion cards, porn mags, arcane jewelry...
Besyanteo: *There's a hissing sound by James's elbow!*
Lithaladhwen: *sits down at the kitchen table and pulls her little pouch of seeds out, picking through them and occasionally setting one on the table*
Arch mage144: ....
Arch mage144: Who? What?
Arch mage144: *looks*
Besyanteo: *JAmes appears to have bumped into a potted fern, which has some serated leaves. They hiss snakelike when they move!*
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Arch mage144: ......
Besyanteo: (And welcome back again!)
Arch mage144: *looks at the plant*
Lithaladhwen: *she's making a small pile next to her hand of things her friends might find interesting*
Arch mage144: *bares his fangs and hisses back*
Besyanteo: Fern: *leafy*
Lithaladhwen: . . .
Lithaladhwen: James? Making friends already?
Arch mage144: Oh yeah, certainly.
Arch mage144: We're about to shake hands and exchange business cards.
Besyanteo: Fern: *leafy with indignity!*
Besyanteo: Fern: *wait, no, jsut leafy*
Lithaladhwen: Uh huh. I should actually ask for one of those. That's kind of cool.
Arch mage144: IM: I'd fucking kill it if it weren't someone else's property.
Arch mage144: IM: Damned plant, startling me like that.
Arch mage144: IM: I bet it'd just take a little jolt of shadow energy and it'd be sorry.
Besyanteo: *and, James hear footsteps! This sound is familair, since not a minute ago he heard them going down the stairs, not up*
Lithaladhwen: (Take that, plant!)
Arch mage144: *looks*
Besyanteo: *Yup, that's Michael. With a wooden box!*
Besyanteo: *Or rather, a wide, long tray*
Lithaladhwen: Hey, Michael. I've got a couple of things here you might want, and in case you're interested in anything really weird, I could probably summon it here for you.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Anything to put my shit back together. A little magic is a small price to pay.
Besyanteo: Oh? Like what? *manuever carefully, so as not to upset the tray contents*
Arch mage144: *okay, Michael is not that interesting*
Lithaladhwen: I don't even know. Name something. If you can give me a little information, I could probably get one here.
Arch mage144: *still glaring at the plant*
Arch mage144: *a few seconds later he decides he's satisfied, the plant being largely inanimate and totally sessile*
Arch mage144: *if it were really all that vicious it'd have made its move by now*
Besyanteo: (plant: *whips his ass*)
Besyanteo: *and, he sets the tray on the table!*
Arch mage144: *looks over at Zea and Michael, glancing one last time at the plant before walking over*
Lithaladhwen: You two sort things out between you?
Besyanteo: *most of the seeds look pretty common. Well organized into small individualized slots*
Besyanteo: *With one exception: A very large seed, the size of an avocado seed, kept under a glass plate*
Arch mage144: Yeah, we're cool.
Lithaladhwen: You know.....
Lithaladhwen: IM: That's cool.
Besyanteo: Well... Hm. In terms of need, we've been wondering if we couldn't find something that would sit in a tree, and scare off birds.
Besyanteo: We lose alot of peaches to birds.
Besyanteo: And cats get too curious with the rabit traps.
Lithaladhwen: Hm. There are some carnivorous bromiliads I can think of.
Lithaladhwen: They're mean, though. I don't know if you want to kill the birds.
Arch mage144: Why not? Fertilizer.
Lithaladhwen: Put them in with the bloodvines? *grin*
Arch mage144: These are the plants that interest me.
Arch mage144: As long as there isn't a vine around my neck.
Besyanteo: Eh. We let the rabits live because other people hunt them. We don't need to be taking out the whole population with a carnivorous trap.
Besyanteo: Birds won't be affected as badly by this sort of thing.
Besyanteo: If birds start to decline here, others will just migrate in.
Lithaladhwen: That's true. Well, if you want to give it a try, there's really no harm in a little botanical experimentation. If I had more time, I could magically hybridize one for you.
Besyanteo: No, that's fine. If it doesn't hurt the tree, a carnivourous trap works just as well.
Lithaladhwen: It wouldn't be able to reproduce normally of course, so no matter what came in the next generations it'd be really weird. But I can make you one or two things.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. Good deal.
Arch mage144: IM: Plant magic.
Arch mage144: IM: Weird stuff.
Besyanteo: (Jeridan would weird JAmes right the hell out. =D)
Lithaladhwen: (Shut up, Gunnir-boy.)
Lithaladhwen: Um, it's not going to unbalance anything if I summon it in here, is it?
Besyanteo: (Between the two of the, Jeridan and Zea could probably make plants that think, talk, and shit seeds.)
Lithaladhwen: It's not huge. Just a smallish thign.
Lithaladhwen: *thing
Lithaladhwen: (Heee! Yay!)
Besyanteo: IT shouldn't. We don't use magc in the house. ... Except for the coldbox, anyway.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. Sounds okay to me.
Lithaladhwen: *Zea begins softly whispering to herself, holding her hands cupped over a small section of the tabletop in front of her.*
Lithaladhwen: *As she gathers her magic together and releases it between her hands, a small blade-leafed plant materializes on the table in front of her.*
Lithaladhwen: *She sighs and sits back.*
Lithaladhwen: Try this little guy.
Besyanteo: *he takes it carefully, and setting it aside for now*
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Besyanteo: I've got some rare ones here that you might or might not like. A couple from Barius, even.
Lithaladhwen: That should start you off...um, I'm really mainly looking for pretty ordinary things right now. I figured you guys would have a reliable collection. If you've got something more interesting, though......
Besyanteo: Though the storm plants are harder to keep up. Need constant water. ... And I think we can do ordinary.
Besyanteo: ... I just like to show people the storm bushes now and again. If you can keep it growing, it makes for an awesome display.
Besyanteo: They branches arc low voltage electricity.
Besyanteo: (The*)
Besyanteo: But.. . hm. Like you said to me, can you give me a better idea what you're looking for?
Besyanteo: I'm not sure if I should give you tulips or dandelions right now.
Lithaladhwen: Well, the thing is, I had a really great collection of roses. Not the most inventive request, I know, but I kind of miss them.
Lithaladhwen: I even had the blue ones.
Besyanteo: Heh. We can do roses. Mother likes to breed those. ... I can't say we ever got blue, sadly.
Besyanteo: But, well.. Hm. It would be better to show you...
Besyanteo: *he stands again, and heads for the back door...*
Besyanteo: *He didn't give indication whether or not they should follow. Up to them*
Arch mage144: IM: She likes roses, eh?
Lithaladhwen: *Zea totally does!*
Arch mage144: IM: Good to know.
Lithaladhwen: *She'd follow him to Prandia for roses.*
Besyanteo: *They don't go too far. There's a a few rows of rose bushes. Some are Red, some are yellow, or white, some are cream colored or orange...*
Besyanteo: *But the bush Michael is next to, the roases start white at the base, fade to pink as they go up, and finally the lining of each petal is red*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, fantastic.
Besyanteo: These are the ones she's most proud of.
Besyanteo: They're original, so she got to name them.
Besyanteo: So, they're Sophias.
Lithaladhwen: *smiles*
Besyanteo: (Hoping that's not taken. Whee.)
Lithaladhwen: That's wonderful.
Lithaladhwen: (They just came up with blue roses fairly recently by doing weird genetic shit to them, in real life, that is.)
Besyanteo: *smiles warmly* Glad you like them.
Lithaladhwen: (They're tough lil buggers to make.)
Besyanteo: (Huh. I'd only heard about giving the white ones blue food foloring in their water for a long time)
Besyanteo: (also lets you make pink ones purple, I believe)
Besyanteo: (coloring*)
Lithaladhwen: (For a long time it was believed you couldn't breed a "natural" blue rose.)
OnlineHost: We're sorry, we are unable to send your message. Please remove the Web address and try again.
Besyanteo: (ROIT)
Lithaladhwen: I would be honored to care for roses like these. They're lovely.
Besyanteo: *he spends a minute here, collecting a bulb from the bush* Heh. I thought you'd say that.
Arch mage144: IM: Huh. Those're pretty cool looking, I guess.
Besyanteo: *Moments later, Michael has a bulb! Though it's still a bit dirty when he hands it over*
Lithaladhwen: *takes it and holds it more delicately than most people hold babies*
Lithaladhwen: Thank you so much. This will help a lot.
Besyanteo: *Just keeps smiling* Glad to help. I figure it's an even trade.
Besyanteo: Dad kinda looks at the bloodvine that way, when it's on his arm.
Besyanteo: ... And Mom's not looking.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
Lithaladhwen: It liked him immediately, which is always nice.
Lithaladhwen: Thank you for this. I really had better be heading home to get this settled in. Was there anything else you wanted me to summon while I'm here?
Lithaladhwen: It's really no trouble.
Besyanteo: No, I think that should be good. Erm. Should I just set the plant into the branches?
Lithaladhwen: Um, I could get it started if you want. Just so that you don't have to worry about it.
Besyanteo: That'd help, yeah. ^_^;
Lithaladhwen: It's a bromiliad, so it doesn't even ask for much magically-speaking.
Lithaladhwen: Show me where you want it.
Besyanteo: *he goes in to take it, and then heads for the orchards! Which aren't too far off. He goes a few trees deep into that section, and stops by one*
Lithaladhwen: Here?
Besyanteo: *he nods* Yes please.
Lithaladhwen: *takes the plant and holds it in place for a moment before channeling a little magic through it to make it feel at home* It should be all right by itself for now. Of course, it'll be feeling even better once it's caught something.
Arch mage144: *tagging along as per usual*
Arch mage144: *not saying much at this point; this is plant-people time*
Lithaladhwen: (James' friends are all dirty hippies. Even the mad scientist necromancer.)
Besyanteo: (Poor Brian has nothign to do. I should have had a plant molest James. :{)
Besyanteo: *he nods* I'm sure it'll have something before the night is out.
Lithaladhwen: Awesome.
Lithaladhwen: Well, look. I really appreciate you trading with me. Feel free to stop by if you want to swap plants or just talk shop or whatever. I'll be around.
Besyanteo: Alrighty. It was good talking to you again.
Besyanteo: YOu should both be fine on the way out, so long as you stay on the white path.
Besyanteo: No promises if someone stumbles into the flower beds though.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, it was. I'll see you later. James, you okay to go, or do you want to go say goodbye to your fern friend inside?
Besyanteo: *Was there a hiss noise just now?*
Arch mage144: We're settled up.
Arch mage144: No point.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs* Good to know.
Lithaladhwen: *with a wave to Michael, Zea makes her way out*
Besyanteo: *waves back and will see them off from the front door*
Besyanteo: (And, unless someone requests an unfortunate encoutner of the herbalogical kind, end RP?)
Lithaladhwen: </RP>
Lithaladhwen: Yay!
Lithaladhwen: That was fun for my crazy Zea plant-nerd brain.
Lithaladhwen: ^_^
Besyanteo: Heh. I had fun too.
Lithaladhwen: She loves their garden. Theirs and Sorune's.
Arch mage144: Entertaining.
Besyanteo: I need to get someone in to see SOrune's some time. I'm all curious now.
Lithaladhwen: (Ha! Sage needs to come back, 'tis true.)
Lithaladhwen: (Haven't seen him in an RP since Blandly Titled ended.)
Lithaladhwen: Whoa, why did those come back?
Lithaladhwen: I'm tired.
Besyanteo: Bed time for all?
Lithaladhwen: Aye.
Lithaladhwen: 'tis.
Lithaladhwen: Thanks for being Zea's enabler! She needed more plants to rebuild her garden. : (
Besyanteo: HEh. Sure. :o
Besyanteo: Night guys.
Arch mage144: Later
Lithaladhwen: Night!
