You have just entered room "cirpcuzwecan."
Lithaladhwen: (Sweetjesusthankyou)
Besyanteo
: (Hey. Small CI going in the park. And sure!)
SongstressEnlil: ( :D)
SongstressEnlil
: *chuckles* Don't feel bad, we need our vices sometimes.
Lithaladhwen
: (people IM me with descriptions, please?)
Besyanteo
: (PErvy's the only other person IC. :{)
Besyanteo: (... or even OOC, really.)
Lithaladhwen: (I've IMed the Pervy)
Besyanteo
: (Whee)
Besyanteo: *He looks back to the lake.* It's very pretty today.
SongstressEnlil: It is not too bad, non.
Besyanteo
: *he looks to MArie, and then her bottle, and back.* You see the bottle half empty, as it were?
SongstressEnlil: Hmmm... More along the idea that I've seen so many, they lose a little something.
Besyanteo
: *he frowns, just a little, at those words.*
Besyanteo: I suppose I can't really appreciate that. I This place is so new to me.
SongstressEnlil: *Nods* It is a bit natural for my tastes, so to speak.
EternalDragonAya
has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (I'm retrieving people.)
FFFan80
: (Evenin!)
EternalDragonAya
: (zomg!)
EternalDragonAya: (Hi!)
SongstressEnlil: (Lo)
Besyanteo
: (heyo)
FFFan80: (Charry time wee)
Besyanteo
: (will Kate be RPing?)
EternalDragonAya: (Possibly!)
Lithaladhwen: (Much as I hate to do this to you fine people, I'm going to need to lurk for a few minutes until I decide which character to use. However, I will RP at the slightest provocation.)
FFFan80
: (=O)
Besyanteo
: (*grabs his charry desc*)
Besyanteo: (Ashley: kay!)
SongstressEnlil: (Just a couple of hobos in the park, right now)
Besyanteo
: (And yet no Kyle
Besyanteo: )*
FFFan80: (Debating someone reading by a tree, or another random character)
Besyanteo: (He's not a hobo, he jsut hangs with them!)
SongstressEnlil: (Marie: I used to try that one)
Besyanteo
: (Ha)
SongstressEnlil: So this place is new to you, oui?
Besyanteo
: Yes, I suppose it would be. *he goes back to enjoying the view*
Besyanteo: Oh yes. I came from... outside the country.
Lithaladhwen: (Where is Marie from?)
Besyanteo
: IM: Technically true.
FFFan80: *At a tree (conveniently!) close to the chitchatting pair, a gentleman leans back against a tree, engrossed in a book*
SongstressEnlil
: *Nods* Much the same.
SongstressEnlil
: (The Woodlands)
SongstressEnlil
: (Or La Foret, as it's known to her sort)
Besyanteo
: (She's got bunny ears, but no fur!)
Besyanteo: (And a stylin hat.)
FFFan80: *The gentleman wears a plain light blue shirt, with baggy brown pants and rather cheap looking boots*
SongstressEnlil
: (Yay halfbreed benefits)
FFFan80
: *...he also seems to have short brown hair, green eyes, and thick eyebrows that seem to give him a semi-permanent scowl on his face* 6\/6
Besyanteo
: >.> IM: Another person. How'd I miss him before? ... PRobably because I'm gawking at the water and the sky. Heh.
SongstressEnlil: *Not paying S. Readerson much mind* Much the same. I suspect, though, you walked a little further, so to speak.
Besyanteo
: ... You could say that. ^_^;
FFFan80: IM: ....'When dealing with other people, it is important that one always keep the other person's feelings in mind'....
Papa Tymisonn
has left the room.
FFFan80: IM: ....the fuck kinda stupid advise is that?
FFFan80
: 9\/<
Besyanteo
: IM: ... HE looks like his head hurts. o_o;
SongstressEnlil: A pleasurable trip?
Lithaladhwen
: (Heheh. Oh God.)
Besyanteo
: ... Not particularly, no.
EternalDragonAya: *Stephan might feel a sudden tugging on him!*
FFFan80: IM: Why the hell am I even ready this bloody th...
FFFan80
: >\/o?
FFFan80
: *looks!*
Besyanteo
: IM: No, not at all. ._.;
Lithaladhwen: (I know what to do.)
Besyanteo
: (Then DOO EEET. =D)
EternalDragonAya: *it is the familiar face of Ayra! To those that don't know her, she is a small 12 year old nekojin with a shaggy head of mahogany hair a lot like Aya's* Hi!
SongstressEnlil: *Nods* I understand. All too common.
FFFan80
: o_o -_-
Lithaladhwen
: *A young girl storms into the park, walks across the grass and sits down on a bench, yanking her fancy red hat off her head in frustration.*
FFFan80
: IM: Woah... long time no see there.
FFFan80
: Er, hey there.
Lithaladhwen
: *She's a rather short girl with sandy blonde hair that would cover her eyes if it could ever manage to lie down on her head in an orderly fashion.*
Besyanteo
: <_<;
EternalDragonAya: ...you look like you've seen death!
Lithaladhwen: *She wears knee-high brown boots, purple paisley pants and a bright red jacket. Her taste for flashy clothing also shows up in a red mage hat that she wears everywhere she goes.*
Besyanteo
: IM: Everyone seems sour today.
FFFan80: ......
EternalDragonAya
: ...oh wait, you have.
EternalDragonAya: *giggles*
FFFan80: Har.
Lithaladhwen
: (I give my standard description like so.)
FFFan80
: *despite himself, gives a playful raz* >=P
SongstressEnlil
: *Finishes off her sandwich*
Lithaladhwen
: *puts her face in her hands*
Besyanteo
: What about you? Why did you come here?
EternalDragonAya: *returns this gesture in the endearing way only a little girl could!*
SongstressEnlil: Ah, chasing a dream, so to say.
FFFan80
: It's been awhile. Been keeping busy?
SongstressEnlil
: *wistful smile* But Doma grows on one.
EternalDragonAya
: Yeah, very busy. Mr. Mophead gave me a bigger area to work over now! I have to go allll the way to Prandia!
FFFan80: Pranida, huh? That is kinda far from here.
Besyanteo
: ... It does. ^_^ It feels like home sooner than you'd expect.
Besyanteo: <.<
SongstressEnlil: (Curate: Please tell me you know decent langauge then!)
FFFan80
: 9\/< I think the last time I visited there was... oh yeah, when some bloke wanted to lob off my...
FFFan80
: ....
EternalDragonAya
: It is...I gotta put more time in 'cause of that...uh...
FFFan80: ...yeah, haven't been there in awhile.
Besyanteo
: (Dudley: I cheated! ^o^)
Besyanteo: That girl looks very uspet...
SongstressEnlil: Mmm, yes.
FFFan80
: Hmm?
EternalDragonAya
: Why did somebody want to chop of your wang, Mister Stephan?
Besyanteo: (... o_o)
FFFan80: .......*facefault* o_@
Besyanteo
: (WOW. THERE GOES MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT.)
FFFan80: ......
EternalDragonAya
: (DERAILED)
FFFan80: *cough*
FFFan80
: .....he was very er... very cranky.
Lithaladhwen
: *the girl's shoulders tense visibly, as if she's making a fantastic effort not to cry*
Besyanteo
: IM: And she looks like she might have spar money to fund the poor here...
Lithaladhwen: *abruptly she looks up and pulls out a flute.... though heaven knows why.*
EternalDragonAya
: Whyyyy?
SongstressEnlil: IM: Ah! A dramatic.
FFFan80
: We had minor, uh... differences of opinion.
SongstressEnlil
: *Sits back to observe, taking the bottle in hand*
Lithaladhwen
: *begins to play a song that's so melodramatic and sad it might be better suited to a violin*
EternalDragonAya
: Oooh.
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is better than sitting here upset. At least I can make someone happy this way.
SongstressEnlil
: *Ears twitch.*
FFFan80
: SO.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Rather than arguing all night with those people.
Besyanteo
: *he looks suddenly sympathetic, and makes his way over slowly!*
EternalDragonAya: Was it because of Midoku? I haven't seen Mister Midoku in soooo long...
SongstressEnlil: IM: I suppose I could offer her a drink.
FFFan80
: Been busier huh?
EternalDragonAya
: Yep!
SongstressEnlil: *Stands, and follows Dudley*
EternalDragonAya
: ...has somebody been killing lots of people lately or something or is it just me?
Besyanteo: (Ayra: There's plague to the south! BUSY BUSY! ^o^ Stephan: Uh huh. o_o;-)
Lithaladhwen: *doesn't notice anyone around her at the moment.*
FFFan80
: Well... there was the war here.
Arch mage144
has entered the room.
Besyanteo: *refrains from sitting by her, as he's not comfy sitting yet, what with his wings*
Besyanteo: *And he'll totally wait for a break in the music*
EternalDragonAya: The war? ....you mean...that war? *looks a bit upset at this*
EternalDragonAya: L..like the one where Oneeane....
Arch mage144: (What's going on, who's here, where are we, what are we talking about?)
SongstressEnlil: W2Dudley: Isn't it traditional to throw a coin in their hat?
Lithaladhwen
: *It's obvious when she notices people nearby, as she abruptly stops playing*
Lithaladhwen
: ...Hi.
SongstressEnlil
: (Pants, all answers)
FFFan80
: o_o;
Besyanteo
: (Park, and I'll send you a description)
Lithaladhwen: (Holly, playing excrutiatingly sad flute music while Ayra and Stephan talk about the war and the safety of his... manhood.)
Besyanteo
: Hello. Are you alright? o.o
SongstressEnlil: (Park, Marie (Homeless Usagijin half with sword), hanging with Dudley)
FFFan80
: The one with Mally there, yeah.
Lithaladhwen
: *Her voice is high and feminine, and just shy of being irritatingly cute.*
Lithaladhwen
: Oh!
EternalDragonAya
: Oh. Yeah.
Lithaladhwen: I... yeah. I'm fine.
Lithaladhwen
: I just had an argument with some people.
SongstressEnlil
: You're very good with that flute, mademoiselle.
Lithaladhwen
: *smile* Thanks.
EternalDragonAya
: I think somebody's still running around from that and killing people. I dunno. Not mazoku. Something that used to follow Mister rat god.
FFFan80: ....?
Besyanteo
: (Tybalt: I didn't do it. ;-;-)
FFFan80: IM: Rat God....?
Lithaladhwen
: (Tybalt: *more than prince of cats*)
Besyanteo
: (... blar!)
FFFan80: ....the plague one?
Besyanteo
: Ah... My name's Dudley. What's yours?
EternalDragonAya: Yeah!
FFFan80: o_o
SongstressEnlil
: You seemed to be in tears, would you like a drink to calm it? *Offers an half-empty bottle of cheap-looking liquor*
Lithaladhwen
: I'm Holly. Nice to meet you Dudley.
FFFan80
: IM: ....well that's news to me.
FFFan80
: ...how do you know he's involved?
Lithaladhwen
: *blinks at the drink* No, thanks. But I appreciate the offer.
EternalDragonAya
: Mister Mophead talks to him a lot.
EternalDragonAya: Mister Rat-god that is.
SongstressEnlil: Well enough, Holly. More for me. *Half-grin*
SongstressEnlil
: IM: So many sober types.
Lithaladhwen
: *smiles back* Enjoy. And I'm fine. I just... I don't like fighting with people. Not over stupid things.
SongstressEnlil
: *Has another drink, winces.*
Besyanteo
: *he nods* People do argue over silly things osmetimes, yes.
FFFan80: IM: ...I don't think I'm ever going to get used to casual chitchat about Gods >\/>;
Besyanteo
: But I'm sure it seemed very important at the time...
Besyanteo: (Naki: Hey! Stephan: Sod off. e.e;-)
SongstressEnlil: What was it about, if I may ask?
EternalDragonAya
: And this one time, I saw hi-awww man.
FFFan80: (Naki: *busts out the branding iron* wanna repeat that? =D)
FFFan80
: ?
FFFan80
: What's wrong?
EternalDragonAya
: I gotta go. Somebody's dying in Argovia. Argovia!
FFFan80: ....ah!
EternalDragonAya
: *poof!*
FFFan80: Well uh.... nice talking to ya a...
Lithaladhwen
: They were fine until they started talking about ...*sigh* I mentioned that I travel with a Drow, and they started making all sorts of comments.
FFFan80
: ....
Lithaladhwen
: And it became an argument.
Lithaladhwen
: *sighs again*
Besyanteo
: ... Oh.
Lithaladhwen: I hate it when people do that!
SongstressEnlil
: Ah.
FFFan80
: ...take the afternoon easy, he says... read this bloody thing and calm myself down he says.... e_e;
SongstressEnlil
: *chuckles* They are not used to Doma, I take it?
Lithaladhwen
: I don't know.
EternalDragonAya
: (Bwahahaha.)
Lithaladhwen: *scowls* I just-- I didn't like it. He's my friend.
Arch mage144
: There you are, Holly. *speaking of drow, a drow of roughly average height, dressed in black robes with green hems and adorned with silver jewelry, is sighted down the way*
Besyanteo
: <.<?
Besyanteo: IM: Ah. That must be him.
Arch mage144: *he has relatively short, snow white hair*
Lithaladhwen
: *starts at the sound of his voice, but abruptly brightens significantly*
Lithaladhwen
: Xevan! I was wondering when you'd be back.
Besyanteo
: IM: He looks nice enough. o_o
FFFan80: ...whatever's gong on there, must be big if that Resh bloke's semi-directly involved.... should mention that to Mid later...
FFFan80
: .....
SongstressEnlil
: IM: I've seen worse.
FFFan80
: IM: ...and why the hell am I thinking out loud to myslef ~\/~;
SongstressEnlil
: Ah, shall we leave you alone, then?
Arch mage144
: I am indeed back. I apologize for my temporary absence. I had things to attend to.
Arch mage144
: Who are these people?
Lithaladhwen
: This is Dudley, and I don't think I got her name.
Arch mage144
: I see.
Besyanteo
: *he waves and smiles pleasantly*
EternalDragonAya: *unpoofs abruptly, this time atop Stephan's head* Okay! Done!
Arch mage144: ...hm.
SongstressEnlil
: Well wishers, monsieur. I am Marie Bagot, known in some circles as the Bladed Fury of the Val'ri.
Besyanteo
: Nice to meet you.
FFFan80: GAH
FFFan80
: >_O;
Arch mage144
: I see.
FFFan80
: *falls over*
SongstressEnlil
: Don't feel bad if you don't know either. *winks*
Besyanteo
: IM: Blade of Val'ri. ... I almost sounds made up. o_o;
Arch mage144: Xevan Lunelestros is my name. I am Holly's...travelling companion.
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
Besyanteo
: (it*)
EternalDragonAya: ...oops! Um. Sorry!
SongstressEnlil: *Nods*
EternalDragonAya
: *clambers off of Stephan* =^_^=;;
Besyanteo: *takes it at face value, and just smiles again!*
SongstressEnlil: IM: It's so cute when they hide it!
Lithaladhwen
: *looks like she's feeling much better*
Arch mage144
: I imagine you were giving another impromptu performance. *deadpan*
Lithaladhwen
: Well, yeah. *sheepish grin*
SongstressEnlil
: It is good to see you knew where to find her, Monsieur. She came in quite a state.
Lithaladhwen
: I did not!
FFFan80
: 9_<;;;
Lithaladhwen
: *scowl*
Arch mage144
: *in fact, just about everything Xevan says is pretty deadpan*
Besyanteo
: o_o;
FFFan80: E...eh don't worry about it.
SongstressEnlil
: *Waggles a finger* Now now, there is no shame in admitting it.
EternalDragonAya
: Okay!
Besyanteo: ... ANyway, it was lovely music. o.o;
FFFan80: That was fast.
Arch mage144
: I am afraid I have no idea what you mean by "a state."
Lithaladhwen
: *gives Marie a "You shush!"* look*
SongstressEnlil
: Quite, very talented.
Arch mage144
: Is there something wrong, Holly? *eyes narrow a bit*
SongstressEnlil
: *Gives Holly a wink*
Lithaladhwen
: *sigh* No. I just got in an argument with some people. They were being stupid so I left and came here.
Besyanteo
: IM: What was that all about? >.>
EternalDragonAya: I know. I've had lots of practice so I can do it really quick now, which is good since I have a bigger area.
FFFan80: Wasn't related to uh, that stuff you mentioned earlier, was it?
EternalDragonAya
: *slumps* Oh? No. This guy fell down the stairs wrong and snapped his neck.
SongstressEnlil: IM: I'll bet he doesn't drink either.
FFFan80
: ....ah.
SongstressEnlil
: *Has a nip from her bottle.*
Besyanteo
: Well, I can see you're feeling better now. ^_^
FFFan80: IM: ...what a way to go 9\/9;
Besyanteo
: Uhm, I was wondering...
FFFan80: ....
Arch mage144
: An argument?
FFFan80
: *...damn, how do you keep that conversation going? =O*
Arch mage144
: What concerning?
FFFan80
: ....I'm guessing he was a bit surprised there.
Lithaladhwen
: It's not a big deal. What were you wondering, Dudley?
EternalDragonAya
: ...yeah, he was pretty upset. I hate it when they're upset. It's sad.
Besyanteo: Well! I work to help the poor in this city, but I'm not very well funded... being fairly poor myself. ^_^; Could either of you make any kind of donation?
FFFan80: Eh... that tends to be, unfortunately.
Arch mage144
: ......
Lithaladhwen
: I could.
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
EternalDragonAya
: Yeah, people usually don't like dying. ..can we talk about something else?
Lithaladhwen: *roots around in her pockets for a second before finding a couple gil*
Arch mage144
: *almost inaudible grunt*
SongstressEnlil
: He is an impressive sort, really. He lives like we do.
Lithaladhwen
: Here! *offers*
FFFan80
: Course.
FFFan80
: 9\/< Uh...
Besyanteo
: *accepts graciously* Thank you very much! ^_^
Besyanteo: *Totally missed the grunt*
Besyanteo: *And, aparently,Marie's comment*
FFFan80: Oh.
Besyanteo
: Well, I won't intrude on you two anymore. o.o Have a nice day though!
FFFan80: My nephew can finally say my name.
FFFan80
: ...well, sorta.
SongstressEnlil
: Quite so. *Polite nod*
Arch mage144
: IM: This is not my idea of a nice day.
Lithaladhwen
: Oh, that's okay! It was nice to meet you!
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
Besyanteo
: You too. ^_^
SongstressEnlil: Have a good evening, you two.
Arch mage144
: IM: Though my efforts today have been productive, I am not tremendously closer to my revenge.
Arch mage144
: IM: A dire waste of time.
Arch mage144
: I will give it an effort.
Besyanteo
: IM: I hope I meet her again... this should feed a number of people tonight!
Besyanteo: *and he heads off!*
SongstressEnlil: *Follows Dudley*
Lithaladhwen
: (Holly has this charity problem. She likes to give people money.)
FFFan80
: (Good thing she doesn't work in the bank then =[)
Arch mage144
: (Xevan has this "coldness" problem. He doesn't like people. And he doesn't give them money.)
Besyanteo
: (Heh. SHe'll learn. Dudley will run her dry if they keep meeting up. =D)
SongstressEnlil: (She should form a hobo jam band with Mitsy.)
Lithaladhwen
: (And she'll keep giving him money.)
Besyanteo
: (And... Well, Whatever that leads to. :o)
SongstressEnlil: (Dudley: I think it's my turn to give you something now...)
Lithaladhwen
: (Xevan: *kills*)
Arch mage144
: (I'll eventually get bored of playing him in this scene and switch characters. He's not as interesting in non-plotted RPs where he can't kill people.)
Besyanteo
: (Dudley: Peace blooms! ^o^)
Besyanteo: (Xevan: ... *still kills.*)
Lithaladhwen: (Xevan likes to do the killing of things. It's why we love him. ^_^)
Arch mage144
: (The story behind Holly and Xevan is interesting. But not one that needs to chew up the OOC right now.)
Besyanteo
: (Heh)
Besyanteo: (Kay)
Lithaladhwen: So, how was your day, Xevan? Did you get all your stuff done?
Besyanteo
: *And, as he notices Marie following along, he smiels curiously* Tagging along?
Arch mage144: My work is never done.
FFFan80
: But yeah, nothing gaera shattering recently.
SongstressEnlil
: For now, Monsieur.
Besyanteo
: (Xevan: For, I am... BATMAN!)
EternalDragonAya: Good! ...if things are normal, then less people tend to die.
Besyanteo: (Holly: ... No, we're not doin that.)
SongstressEnlil: (Holly: Oh I love the tights)
Arch mage144
: (Xevan: *is the terror that flaps in the night*)
FFFan80
: Heh, I suppose so.
Lithaladhwen
: (Holly: *summons bats*)
FFFan80
: How about you? What else you been up to?
Besyanteo
: (... PErvy and Brian both win utterly.)
Besyanteo: Alright then. I like having company. ^_^
Lithaladhwen: Well, even if you didn't get everything done that you could conceivably want to do.... How did things go? I was wondering when you'd wrap up for the day.
Arch mage144
: IM: I do not like him.
SongstressEnlil
: Ah, good to hear.
FFFan80
: Besides, you know, the stuff you mentioned.
Arch mage144
: I have "wrapped up" already. I decided it might be in my best interests to locate you.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Heh. He missed me. But I won't tell him. He'll figure it out eventually.
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
EternalDragonAya
: Ara taught me how to babysit! I babysit Azra and sometimes go out with her crew and do pirate stuff!
Besyanteo: ... Hey. You run around the slums alot, right?
SongstressEnlil: Enough, I think.
Arch mage144
: believe it is generally not safe to leave you alone in the city.
Arch mage144
: *I
Arch mage144
: You know that.
Lithaladhwen
: *dramatic sigh* Xevan...
FFFan80
: .....
FFFan80
: Azra?
Besyanteo
: Have you ever run across, uhm, the cult of the Shen'ai'fa? >.>;
EternalDragonAya: Yeah! Ara's son.
Lithaladhwen: I can take care of myself. I hang out in the park a lot now. Nothing bad has happened yet, and I don't think it will.
FFFan80
: o_o
Lithaladhwen
: I'm fine.
EternalDragonAya
: ...you didn't know they had a kid? He was born before the war.
Arch mage144: Doma City is full of hazards.
Arch mage144
: And I will not let you out of my sight if I feel you are not safe. I am your guardian.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: According to those guys in the inn, one of those hazards is you. Shows what they know.
FFFan80
: Well... I uh... haven't really talked to either of them in a good while *shrug*
Lithaladhwen
: *heavy sigh again* All right. I understand.
Lithaladhwen
: But I have met some very nice people out here lately.
SongstressEnlil
: Hmmm, not really. Heard the name once or twice.
FFFan80
: IM: ...kinda surprised Dan wasn't all "ISNT THIS GREAT FOR THEM? ^o^" about it, actually.
Besyanteo
: Ah... Well, they like to recruit here, prayying on people's bad situations... avoid them if you can. >_>;
Lithaladhwen: There was a very nice man on a divine mission, another musician-- he was very good!-- and a man who bought us dinner!
EternalDragonAya
: They've been busy. Kerov's been off doing something and Ara's been rasing Azra. He'll make a good pirate!
FFFan80: So, that makes you an Aunt then, eh?
Lithaladhwen
: I think I like it here.
EternalDragonAya
: ...ohmigod!
FFFan80: o_o?
Besyanteo
: Promises of blessings and stuff. <_<; It's bad stuff though.
EternalDragonAya: ...wait, I was one when I was made.
Lithaladhwen: Also there were a couple of very nice men on the way to the city. And a snake with feathers.
FFFan80
: IM: ...oh for fuck's sake what did I say now.
EternalDragonAya
: Elle and I share the same birthday! =^_^=
Arch mage144: I believe you are having the misfortune of making friends with the terminally insane.
FFFan80
: Oh, right.
EternalDragonAya
: So I've been an aunt all this time...AND NEVER KNOWN!
FFFan80: Heh.
Lithaladhwen
: *sticks her tongue out playfully* I'm friends with you. What do you make of that?
Arch mage144
: Perhaps I, too, am terminally insane.
Besyanteo
: (... I love Ayra. She's so sweet my teeth hurt!)
SongstressEnlil: Hmmm...Sounds familair.
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^ Maybe.
Arch mage144
: Some might make the suggestion.
Lithaladhwen
: *her expression darkens very briefly* Some people say silly things.
FFFan80
: Fun thing, realizing you're an Aunt or Uncle.
Lithaladhwen
: Anyway...my point is...
Lithaladhwen
: I'm fine by myself here.
FFFan80
: **Flashback!**
Arch mage144
: Fine.
Arch mage144
: You can continue to believe that. But I will not.
Arch mage144
: Not in entirety.
Besyanteo
: Yeah... <.<; ... Anyway. I know a family who needs this pretty badly. I'm going to go find them, if you want to come along.
Lithaladhwen: I bet no amount of nothing happening to me is going to convince you otherwise.
FFFan80
: **Dan: ,^.^, Bro, look, you're an Uncle now *holding Alicia* **
FFFan80
: **Stephan: ....*faints* x.x **
FFFan80
: ....very uh, interesting indeed.
Besyanteo
: (Dan: ... Isn't that my job bro? 6_6;-)
FFFan80: (Stephan: It's genetic ok?! ;\/; )
Besyanteo
: (=D!)
FFFan80: ....er, so... Pirate eh?
Arch mage144
: Precisely
EternalDragonAya
: Yup!
Lithaladhwen: *smiles and shakes her head at him*
EternalDragonAya
: He picked up an accent from the rest of the crew. He sounds all YAARRR and talks like Captain Pervy.
Arch mage144: You know that that is my job.
Arch mage144
: To be suspicious.
Lithaladhwen
: You know... one of those guys I met reminded me of you a little. He kept insisting that I was in danger all the time because I was by myself.
Arch mage144
: You might be.
FFFan80
: Ah... that's.... nice.
Besyanteo
: (Aaaand, consider Dudley out of character. Dishes to do now.)
SongstressEnlil: *Ponders for a bit*
SongstressEnlil
: Why not?
Besyanteo
: (... in a minute)
Besyanteo: Great! ^_^
Arch mage144: The world is full of unsavory characters that would prey on you without a second thought. Kill you, perhaps. Or worse.
Lithaladhwen
: You might be in danger without me there. But I believe in your ability to take care of yourself. Well... *thinks* most of the time.
Besyanteo
: *and off they go!*
Lithaladhwen: e_e
Besyanteo
: (NOW he's ooc. Whee.)
EternalDragonAya: You should visit Ara someday!
Arch mage144: I do not need a little girl to protect me.
FFFan80
: Hn.
FFFan80
: Maybe if I need to ride somewhere by boat, I'll look her crew up.
Lithaladhwen
: Oh? Well maybe I don't need a Drow to protect me. I don't travel with you because I'm scared of everyone else. You're my friend.
Arch mage144
: Hmph.
Lithaladhwen
: *mockingly echoes his hmph*
Arch mage144
: You know my reasons for following you.
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah.
SongstressEnlil
: (And I need to restart)
SongstressEnlil
has left the room.
Arch mage144: Whatever. I know you are a capable person.
Lithaladhwen
: Thank you.
FFFan80
: *Idly taps his prior reading material against his leg* ...actually, wonder when the next job we have out involves overseas travel... 9\/<
Lithaladhwen
: And you might as well say that I'm following you. After all, I did wait for you. This isn't Xevan stalking Holly all the time.
Lithaladhwen
: Because gods forbid we actually enjoy each other's company. *scowls a little*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: He is so frustrating sometimes!
EternalDragonAya
: Good! Okay, um, I have to go again. Uh, apparently there was a big magical explosion somewhere and uh...this could take a while.
FFFan80: ....Ah, uh. Ok.
FFFan80
: Uh.
FFFan80
: IM: Eh, what the heck.
FFFan80
: *hugs* Nice seeing ya again.
Arch mage144
: I suppose.
EternalDragonAya
: *hugs back!* Yeah!
Arch mage144: I "enjoy" your company.
EternalDragonAya
: I'll see you again later, 'kay?
Arch mage144: *you can almost hear the quotation marks*
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
Lithaladhwen
: IM: That's close! Really close for Xevan! *mentally hugs herself*
DWSage009
has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: So what were you up to today? More of that stuff that I really don't want to know about?
FFFan80
: Looking forward to it *nod*
DWSage009
: (o.o Location? Chars? And it's a shiny FFFan80!)
FFFan80: (GAH ;-; )
Smartzvn85
has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Park. Holly. Want description?)
Smartzvn85
: (Sure, why not)
FFFan80
: (Stephan, finishing a conversation with ze wai reaper Ayra)
EternalDragonAya
: *poofs again!*
DWSage009: (Yes please, Fern.. *Vaguely wonders why he thought it was Mid*)
FFFan80: (That's not Fern =D; )
Lithaladhwen
: (This is Kai.)
DWSage009
: (...Hello Kai. Excuse me a moment whilst I beat my memory with a rusty stick.)
FFFan80: ...that was interesting...
Lithaladhwen
: (You're thinking of Firnthulien, if I recall.)
DWSage009
: (I am.)
FFFan80: ...*glances down at book*
FFFan80
: ...and sadly no longer a distraction from this ~\/~;
FFFan80
: *Is in, surprisingly, plain clothes!*
DWSage009
: (Hm...May bring in Kumo, White Mage dancer!)
Arch mage144: Functionally, yes. Things you have no desire to hear about.
Lithaladhwen
: *sigh* I figured. Well, I hope your secret Xevan business went well. I worry, you know.
DWSage009
: (o.o And whom is AM? I probably require a physical description.)
Arch mage144
: (Xevan, a drow in black robes with green accents and silver jewelry. Not especially tall, white hair.)
Arch mage144
: It goes fine.
DWSage009
: *And then, out of nowhere...comes a two-foot Moogle, blue-white in color, wearing the robes of a White Mage that is cut just above his ankles. Seems he's taking a short stroll through the park*
Lithaladhwen
: *nod* Good. *tilts her head and looks at Xevan* Be careful, okay?
FFFan80
: IM: ...now where the hell did I leave off.... oh right, 'personal etiquette' crap...
FFFan80
: *read skim!*
DWSage009
: >_>
DWSage009
: IM:Busy, for it being so late...wonder what's going on?
Arch mage144
: I am careful. Always.
Smartzvn85
: (...People should not be so nice to drows, ne? >:P)
Lithaladhwen
: *looks a little thoughtful* IM: They were just drunk. They're drunk and they're stupid.
Lithaladhwen
: Okay. *abrupt ^_^ face*
Arch mage144
: You are smiling entirely too brightly. As usual.
DWSage009
: IM:...Very odd indeed. Maybe I should just watch and see...
DWSage009
: *Sits! Possibly on a bench next to someone not Holly or Xevan!*
Lithaladhwen
: *giggles* That's a matter of opinion, I guess. I could say you're scowling entirely too darkly. As usual. But I don't. Because I like you just the way you are. *dares him to deny the insane shoujo friendship power*
Lithaladhwen
: (Xevan: *commits seppukku*)
FFFan80
: ....*glances up, with a raised eyebrow, and annoyance!*
Arch mage144
: *sighs, defeatedly*
DWSage009
: *Watch, watch, look cute*
FFFan80
: ....you mind? I'm trying to read here. *To ze moogle*
DWSage009
: >_> Hm? Oh, sorry. Just need to rest...I've been working all day.
FFFan80
: ...sure, whatever.
FFFan80
: But there's about two or three other benches nearby.... use one of those?
DWSage009
: *Shrugs* I'm a kid. Aren't we supposed to be pestering our elders? Besides, this is the best seat to watch those two over there. *Points*
FFFan80
: ?
FFFan80
: *glances over*
Smartzvn85
: (....Stephan has not uttered a single profanity since I got here! WHERE IS STEPHAN AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM?)
DWSage009
: *Is pointing at Holly and Xevan, natch.*
FFFan80
: (...because Dave thought it was being overdone sometimes? =P)
Lithaladhwen
: (Maybe Ayra had him in a good mood)
FFFan80
: (Or that!)
EternalDragonAya
: ( =^_^= )
Lithaladhwen: (She is pretty damn cute.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Anyway..)
Lithaladhwen
: *is pointed at*
DWSage009
: (*Ahem*)
Lithaladhwen
: *looks over in surprise*
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^ *waves*
FFFan80
: ....o_ó
Lithaladhwen
: *to Xevan* Do you know them?
FFFan80
: ...so it's some drow and his girlfriend yelling at one another.
DWSage009
: (FFFan80 (10:46:11 PM): IM: ...now where the hell did I leave off.... oh right, 'personal etiquette' crap... Vince loses.)
FFFan80
: The hell should I care?
DWSage009
: *Shrugs, waves back.* People watching is fun. And sometimes, even insightful.
Arch mage144
: No.
Smartzvn85
: (Crap does not count. Saying hell is even a little bit worse than crap, which you did not point out)
Arch mage144
: *has very good ears* ......
Arch mage144
: I am not her girlfriend.
FFFan80
: (....)
Lithaladhwen
: (*boyfriend, presumably)
Lithaladhwen
: (XD)
EternalDragonAya
: (Dude loooks like a lady!)
FFFan80: *Does not have said ears! Oblivious* o_ó
Arch mage144
: *boyfriend
Arch mage144
: *She is not my girlfriend, actually
Lithaladhwen
: o_o What?
Smartzvn85
: (She is just a friend that is a girl!)
Arch mage144
: Nothing. I overheard a very strange misconception.
FFFan80
: (...dammit kate, now that's stuck in my head >_<)
Lithaladhwen
: ... That I'm.... *blushes* Oh.
DWSage009
: *Kinda does, enough to hear part of it* Said something about not being friends. Must be acquaintences.
FFFan80
: Ah
FFFan80
: ....
FFFan80
: And I ask again, why should I care?
Lithaladhwen
: *looks over her shoulder questioningly*
Arch mage144
: I am going to ignore those people.
Lithaladhwen
: ...I... huh. Yeah. Um. ...Yeah.
DWSage009
: No reason. I'll stay on this side of the bench and be quiet, 'till my legs get a bit less tired. You go ahead and read your book.
Lithaladhwen
: *shakes her head to clear away the weirdness*
FFFan80
: ...fine.
FFFan80
: 6\/6 *does so!*
DWSage009
: IM:Urge to shout 'Motherfucking drow!' and blame it on him...rising...
Lithaladhwen
: I don't know. I kind of want to know who they are now. I'm going to go say hello. I'll be right back.
Arch mage144
: Do that.
Lithaladhwen
: Unless you want to come with.
Arch mage144
: ......
Arch mage144
: I am obligated to do so.
Lithaladhwen
: You are not! You can stay here and brood on your manly duty to the helpless little girl all night if you like! *sigh* You should have more fun. Do things for the heck of it.
Lithaladhwen
: *grabs Xevan's hand and goes over to the others*
Lithaladhwen
: Hi!
Lithaladhwen
: *waves with her other hand*
FFFan80
: ......
FFFan80
: IM: MOTHERFUCKING MOOGLE
Smartzvn85
: (XD THis amuses me!)
FFFan80
: e_e; *puts the book down on his lap*
DWSage009
: 9_9 Hey there. *Waves back* Sorry for eavesdropping on you. Just haven't had much of a chance to rest and be amused lately.
Smartzvn85
: (As noted by my ex-dee face.)
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^ That's okay. I'm Holly. What's your name?
DWSage009
: Kumo. *Extends small hand* White Mage Dancer, at your service.
Lithaladhwen
: *takes his hand!* Dancer?
FFFan80
: *drums fingers on the book, impatiently* 9\/9
Smartzvn85
: (I thought it was kupo)
KnightsofSquare
has left the room.
DWSage009: Dancer. Some people channel magic through words, I do it through dance.
DWSage009
: (Kumo. Ye bastich.)
KnightsofSquare
has entered the room.
DWSage009: (It's his name, and he has yet to say Kupo.)
Lithaladhwen
: *jaw drops a little in delight* That's great! I use music, myself.
Smartzvn85
: (Oh! I did not know that was his name....)
Lithaladhwen
: Mostly singing and flute. *nod*
Arch mage144
: *is not saying a word, but is standing right behind Holly*
Lithaladhwen
: Though I have a friend who dances. Haven't seen him in a while, but he's a lot of fun.
DWSage009
: *Quirks eyebrow* Heh...you're like my old mentor then, I guess. But yeah, I'm apprenticing under a White Mage now...
FFFan80
: *is not saying a word, but looks hella irritated sitting next to Kumo*
Lithaladhwen
: *smile* And how's that going?
Arch mage144
: *despite not being drastically tall, he's still taller than Holly, flanking the bard protectively*
DWSage009
: *Is two feet tall! Shorter than you all!* So who's tall, dark, and protective there?
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^ Xevan.
Arch mage144
: ......
Arch mage144
: Yes, my name is Xevan.
DWSage009
: *Holds out paw* I'm not a threat, sir. I'm bound to protect and heal, not harm.
Arch mage144
: I can see that.
Smartzvn85
: (*Lith kills everyone with happy anime faces. Eventually.*)
Lithaladhwen
: (Holly is a ^_^ elemental)
DWSage009
: (*Except Kumo who survives with Wai power*)
FFFan80
: (*Counters with moodyness!* e.e)
DWSage009
: *Points* At the moody one here is Stephan, I think. I'd heard stories.
FFFan80
: .....
Lithaladhwen
: Hi, Stephan. Nice to meet you.
FFFan80
: *GLARE* e.e
FFFan80
: *to Kumo*
Lithaladhwen
: What are you reading?
FFFan80
: A book.
DWSage009
: <_< Must be. Nice to meet you.
Arch mage144
: Moody, is he?
FFFan80
: .....
FFFan80
: You aren't exactly one to talk, pal.
Lithaladhwen
: I can see that. *not perturbed in the least* What's the book?
DWSage009
: *Tries to sneak peek himself!*
Lithaladhwen
: (Wai flanking bonuses!)
FFFan80
: *Though Stephan says nothing, Kumo can make out*
EternalDragonAya
: (*passes out* Night people!)
FFFan80: *....'rd Avaron's Guide to People Skills'....'a socialite in 10 easy chapters'*
FFFan80
: (Night!)
Lithaladhwen
: (Night! Thanks for coming.)
EternalDragonAya
has left the room.
Arch mage144: *hmphs*
DWSage009
: (Night Kate.)
DWSage009
: IM:...Wow, but he's off to a poor start.
DWSage009
: 9_9 There's a pretty simple way to master all these, y'know.
FFFan80
: .....
FFFan80
: What?
DWSage009
: Get a sense of humor. And use it, instead of anger, to deal with frustration.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Ouch. That wasn't very nice.
DWSage009
: *Is dead serious, too!*
FFFan80
: e.e
DWSage009
: I'm not being mean. I'm honestly trying to help.
FFFan80
: I don't remember asking you for jack shit, actually.
Lithaladhwen
: >.o
DWSage009
: *Shrugs* Easier than going through the entire book. Everyone loves a person with a sense of humor. Just watch someone who does.
Smartzvn85
has left the room.
Arch mage144: *snickers a little*
FFFan80
: *glare, the sequel* e\/e
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I'm not sure what to say. I think Kumo's being a little unkind, but I don't want to tell this Stephan how to do things, either.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Did Xevan just ...ah, whatever.
DWSage009
: *Dead serious, 'I'm trying to help look' in return!* o.o Wow. I can feel the glare going into the back of my skull.
Arch mage144
: IM: This man amuses me. This was not a waste of time after all.
FFFan80
: (as much as I'd like to continue this =/ stuff to do in the morning. So!)
DWSage009
: *Is quite young, actually!*
Lithaladhwen
: (Aw.... I wanted to see Stephan get wai poisoning. )
FFFan80
: Fine... *stands up* then as my act of... 'kindness' for the day.
FFFan80
: e_e I'm not going to throw this bloody thing at your head.
Lithaladhwen
: *giggles*
DWSage009
: Wouldn't be the first time. ^_^
FFFan80
: *Aaaand off he goes!*
FFFan80
: e_@ IM: Bloody $@#$ing #$#@$ son of a @#$#@$ daft @#$#@$ goit....
FFFan80
: (Night!)
Lithaladhwen
: (night)
DWSage009
: (Night Dave.)
FFFan80
has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: Eep. Well, that was interesting.
DWSage009
: Was.
DWSage009
: Couldn't resist tormenting him at that bit.
Lithaladhwen
: I guess. *shrugs*
Lithaladhwen
: I didn't really mind him. I just think he wanted to be left alone. It happens.
DWSage009
: I don't take glares well, sorry.
Lithaladhwen
: He did give those out rather liberally. But being in a mood doesn't mean you've got to be mean to him.
Lithaladhwen
: *chews her lower lip a little*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Poor guy. He was just reading.
DWSage009
: Nah. He's constantly like that.
Lithaladhwen
: *shrugs* Well, maybe he is.
Lithaladhwen
: I don't know him. But I still think that wasn't very nice.
DWSage009
: And besides...I don't take people like him all that well. He pretty much told me to shove off at the very beginning, when all I did was sit. No speech, not even a look at him.
Arch mage144
: *appears lost in thought*
Lithaladhwen
: *shrugs again* Like I said, I don't know.
DWSage009
: Eh...guess I've had a long day myself. My legs are getting kinda sore.
Lithaladhwen
: What have you been up to? You said you're a dancer. You just tired?
DWSage009
: *Nods* Seven 'performances', with three call-backs. I kind of occupy people in the waiting room, too.
DWSage009
: I've been working on illusions to spice up the performances. Pyrotechnics just didn't work out.
Lithaladhwen
: Oh. Well, if you ever need help with that and I'm around, I'll definitely pitch in. I know a little illusion magic. *nodnod*
DWSage009
: *Shrugs* I get room and board, and a small allowance...not much, but it's Jal can afford.
Zero
has entered the room.
DarkLordKelne has entered the room.
Zero: (Who is who in this masquerade of horror!?)
DWSage009: (Kumo, white mage dancer!)
Lithaladhwen
: (Holly. I can IM people with a description.)
Zero
: (Kumo's a white mage now? :-( )
DWSage009: (He's been apprenticing, at least.)
Zero
: (I dunno who to use.)
DWSage009: (El Kylitos? Or Paper/Vellum/other birdies?)
Zero
: (Nah.)
Arch mage144: Pyrotechnics?
DWSage009
: (Oh, and it's at the park.)
Zero
: (The Birditos have been on vacation.)
DWSage009: *Nods* I studied black magic before. I...kinda sorta almost burned down the healing house once.
Lithaladhwen
: O_O *giggles*
Arch mage144
: *derisive snort*
DWSage009
: Hey! I didn't do it on purpose...I just tripped on my robe...
Lithaladhwen
: I guess that definitely counts for 'not working out.' That would be a problem.
Arch mage144
: IM: A definite failure at magic.
DWSage009
: <_<; Well...at least I was able to douse it.
DWSage009
: And nothing more than a few potions and one unfortunate old man's beard was lost...
Lithaladhwen
: Well, like I said. If you ever need someone to perform with, I might be in town for a little while. I'm always up for a show or two. Or several. ^_^
DWSage009
: *Nods* Sounds fun. What instruments do you play, again?
Lithaladhwen
: I play the flute and I sing.
Lithaladhwen
: Whichever one would work better for what you need to do is fine.
DWSage009
: I can sing, but a musical addition would be a great plus. Here, wait, lemme give you the card...
DWSage009
: *Digs in a pocket, comes out with a rather crisp, white card that reads 'Jal's Healing House. You break 'em, we set 'em. Hours-5:00-20:00, exceptions in emergencies. Address:[Bla, bla, bla]'*
OMG Priam
has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: *takes the card and puts it into one of gods-only-know-how-many pockets on the inner lining of her coat* Thank you!
DWSage009
: No problem. Come in any-time, and we can set up performances...I think we can afford to pay you a bit, even, if you or Xevan need it.
Lithaladhwen
: Oh, that's all right. I get by just fine.
Arch mage144
: *unflinching* I do not need your charity. Do not include me in terms of Holly as a unit that way. I am not a part of her performing troupe.
Lithaladhwen
: e_e No, he's not.
DWSage009
: *Shakes his head* Sorry. I didn't mean to offend...and I'd assumed you were together, by the way you kept yourself between her and me.
Lithaladhwen
: And he doesn't like me paying for things, either. *makes serious manly face*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Xevan needs to relax!
Lithaladhwen
: *sigh*
DWSage009
: IM:He seriously needs to get laid.
DWSage009
: IM:Isn't that what Jal keeps saying about people like him?
Lithaladhwen
: (Well, Brian. I was considering bringing in Quinn.... DOES Xevan need to get laid?)
Zero
: (SOMEONE'S GONNA GET A BLACK EYE!)
Zero: (Is this still going?)
DWSage009: (Yep.)
Zero
: (I see.)
Arch mage144: (...does Xevan need to get laid?)
Zero
: (Is Kumo gonna get a black eye? >:-)
DWSage009: (He can heal the black eye. >:-)
Lithaladhwen: (That's what I asked you.)
Arch mage144
: (Um. I am not answering that.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Fine. No succubi for Xevan tonight. Probably.)
DarkLordKelne
: (Hn. *Ponders whether or not to bring in Jeff*)
DWSage009: (Go ahead?)
DWSage009
: (Kumo was best friends with succubi...)
Lithaladhwen
: (He'd remember being friends with this one. I don't know that they've met. Though if things don't pick up in here, Quinn might be a good temporary solution.)
DWSage009
: (Nope, they didn't meet.)
DarkLordKelne
: (On the downside, that sort of necessitates deciding how the whole mindflayer plotline worked out.)
Lithaladhwen: (Aye. I was wondering about that. )
Lithaladhwen
: (We could say that they finished that part of it and haven't done the rest yet. We did reach a chronological stopping point.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Whatever you want is cool. I'll go with it.)
Arch mage144
: (My eye feels like it is melting.)
DWSage009
: (Ow.)
Lithaladhwen
: (STOP RUBBING IT)
Arch mage144
: (I'M NOT!)
Arch mage144
: (Damnit, woman)
Lithaladhwen
: (If I have to wake you people up, I will.)
Zero
: (!!)
Lithaladhwen: (Lurkers! Spring into action!)
Zero
: (Convince me to join in, using poetry.)
Arch mage144: (Nuts! Take action now!)
Zero
: (Or Soviet propaganda.)
DWSage009: <_< >_>
Lithaladhwen
: (Don't be nosy! I won't give you good time!)
DWSage009
: o.o How about just a spontaneous performance? I need to do a bit of light excercise, or else my legs will be stiff and sore tomorrow.
Arch mage144
: (But...but...good time!)
Lithaladhwen
: (I require more RP. All these lurkers sadden me. If they don't join, I'll kill someone. Then at least I'll have some fun.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Now join.)
DWSage009
: (<_< *Points at his post as an attempt to put effort in*)
Lithaladhwen
: Are you sure you're up for it? I mean, you said that you'd had a long day already.
Zero
: (Eeeeeh :-( I dunno.)
DarkLordKelne: *And so, as a result of those eerie coincidental forces which seem to operate around Doma, we find a red mage appearing on the scene. But not just any red mage, oh no. This is Jeff.*
DWSage009: Yeah. Just no horrible, twenty-minute long things. Just a few minutes, and you play whatever song you want.
Lithaladhwen
: All right. We could probably just improv something. We'll start slow until you've gotten warmed up again. Kay?
DarkLordKelne
: *For those unfamiliar with Jeff, he's a tall guy with reddish hair, wearing a practical set of coat and pants, and a possibly not-quite-so-practical, but traditional red mage hat.*
DWSage009: *Nods, standing, and flexing his legs a bit. And for Kelne's ease, is a two-foot blue-white Moogle, wearing Red Mage robes cut off at the ankle*
DarkLordKelne
: IM: Well, there are a couple of familiar faces... And a moogle, I see.
DWSage009: *White. WHITE mage robes, not red
DarkLordKelne
: *Wanders over to the group* Holly, Xevan. Long time no see.
Lithaladhwen: *eyes widen in delight* Hi!
DWSage009
: 9_9 Friend of yours? *Holds out hand* Kumo, White Mage Dancer.
Lithaladhwen
: How have you been?
DarkLordKelne
: Oh, pretty good. Life continues as per usual.
DarkLordKelne: *Shakes Kumo's hand* Jeff Kasan.
Lithaladhwen: *nod* Well, it's good to see you.
DWSage009
: Nice to meet you.
DarkLordKelne
: Likewise. So, what have you two been up to lately?
DWSage009: Meeting each other, finding similar interests, trying to set up performances.
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
Arch mage144
: I remember you.
Lithaladhwen
: Xevan and I have just... been around, kind of.
DWSage009
: IM:Wonder what their relationship is, too. Definitely not lovers...siblings? Adopted?
DarkLordKelne
: *Nods* Ever catch that kraken? *Grins*
Arch mage144: No.
DarkLordKelne
: IM: Yep, same old Xevan. No sense of humour.
DWSage009: ...Kraken? As in the gigantic water creature, Kraken?
DWSage009
: Tentacles out the wazoo? >_>
Arch mage144
: Yes.
DarkLordKelne
: Yeah, that's the one. It'd make a hell of a conversation piece if you could just fit it on the wall.
Arch mage144: An enormous, squid-like beast that lives in the ocean.
Arch mage144
: That would require an enormous wall.
DWSage009
: Or a very small Kraken.
DWSage009
: Sounds like an interesting story.
Arch mage144
: There are no small kraken.
Lithaladhwen
: Probably not.
Arch mage144
: The word itself implies a very large beast.
Besyanteo
: (Holy hell. Still going?)
DWSage009: (Yes. >: )
Besyanteo
: (Wow)
Arch mage144: (Off and on. There was a bit of a lull, but we're back in full swing now)
Lithaladhwen
: (Hn! Damn right!)
DarkLordKelne
: Eh, just gotta find an imaginative way to display it.
Lithaladhwen: *mental images* *giggles*
DWSage009
: <_<
DWSage009
: *Tsks* No dirty thoughts whilst young minds are about.
DarkLordKelne
: Maybe put it out on the front lawn. Of course, then someone would probably graffiti it...
Arch mage144: I would not appreciate the defacing of my kraken.
DWSage009
: >_>
DWSage009
: IM:And he needs a joke-book.
Arch mage144
: If I had one.
DarkLordKelne
: IM: Darn, I thought he was beginning to warm to the idea.
Lithaladhwen: We've done significantly less fishing since then, I promise you. I... didn't enjoy that trip. *realization* No offense! I mean, I enjoyed you guys. It was just the rest.
Lithaladhwen
: The... other things.
DWSage009
: <_<
DarkLordKelne
: *Nods* Yeah. *The mirth goes out of his eyes a bit*
DWSage009: Seasick? Or the idea of fighting giant monsters that are quite at home while they could send you to your watery doom just by smashing your ship?
Lithaladhwen
: We weren't really going after kraken. It was something we told other people while we checked into other things.
Arch mage144
: A cover story, if you will.
DarkLordKelne
: (Fun fact: Jeff once did almost exactly the same thing Richard did. Only his hydra had less heads.)
Lithaladhwen: (Wow.)
DWSage009
: Ah.
Arch mage144
: (That was mucho ugly.)
DarkLordKelne
: (Jeff: *Slightly possessed at the time* We can take it! Everyone else: NO WE CAN'T!)
Lithaladhwen: (Eep.)
Arch mage144
: ("I will now leap into a mass of swirling hydra heads and necks with my spear pointed at the beast.")
Arch mage144
: ("This may in fact be suicide.")
Zero
has left the room.
DWSage009: *Shrugs* Sounds like an adventure to me. Blasted things...
Arch mage144
: It was interesting.
DarkLordKelne
: *Nods again* They're all fun and games until things turn ugly.
Arch mage144: It did, depending on your perspective, have a few particularly ugly points.
Lithaladhwen
: *expression definitely darkens at this point* ...yes.
DWSage009
: >_> Let me guess. From what he said, it was misery from beginning to end? With occasional pin-pricks of sunshine?
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Xevan had me so worried. And Richard with the... *sigh*
Lithaladhwen
: It wasn't all bad.
Lithaladhwen
: We met some nice people. And some that kind of bothered me.
DWSage009
: o.o Wow. Maybe it was because I went with Asty...
Arch mage144
: One of our companions met a relatively messy end.
DarkLordKelne
: (Asty: Pinpricks of sunshine? LUXURY!)
DWSage009: IM:Oh shit. Open mouth, insert leg-paw.
Arch mage144
: I, if it is any consolation, made certain that the best that flayed the flesh from his bones with innumerable teeth died a quick and painful death.
DWSage009
: (Kumo:That luxury led up to you getting fem-bunny-Kelne pregnant in a dream. >_>)
Arch mage144
: His actions were practically suicide, anyway.
Lithaladhwen
: *nod* He did kill it. *subject change!* Who's Asty?
DWSage009
: Hm? Oh, Astrynax...mage who kinda sorta wanted a friend of mine dead, and tried to kill me once because he mistook me for him.
Arch mage144
: Often a bad situation.
Arch mage144
: And one I am not unfamiliar with.
DWSage009
: Nah, he's actually a good guy. And he had reason to hate End.
Lithaladhwen
: *interested* And who's that?
DarkLordKelne
: *Shrugs* I'll take your word for it.
DWSage009: Dragon Moogle Dragoon. And I forget which side did it, but the dragoons killed all the mages or the other way around...I think it was the first.
Arch mage144
: I am unfamiliar with him
Arch mage144
: I, however, know him, at least peripherally. *striding out of seemingly nowhere--it's Hakaril!*
Arch mage144: *he must be taking ninjitsu lessons, he's so sneaky*
DWSage009: >_> Hm? Geez this park is busy...
Lithaladhwen
: *turns, and before she even says hello* I like your hat!
DarkLordKelne
: *Blinks at that, trying to sort out the title*
Arch mage144: Hey, me too.
Lithaladhwen: ^__^
Arch mage144
: It was a gift...from a very dear friend. *looks slightly sad for a moment, but that emotion is only a flicker in his eyes--it fades rapidly*
Lithaladhwen: *tugs on the brim of her own mage hat*
DWSage009
: *Holds out hand* Kumo, White Mage Dancer. And friend of Asty. I helped him save the world once, but who hasn't?
Lithaladhwen
: I don't think we've met. I'm Holly!
DarkLordKelne
: *Three identical hats. It's like they're part of a club or something.*
Lithaladhwen: (Holly's not even a red mage. Just can't resist the hat.)
Arch mage144
: Where did you get yours?
Lithaladhwen: (She had a hat of disguise for a while, and she always had it look like a red mage hat*
Lithaladhwen
: *)
DWSage009
: IM:Maybe I should get a hat.
DarkLordKelne
: *Nods to Hak* Jeff Kasan.
Lithaladhwen: I bought it. I had to look for one forever, but I finally ran across one.
DWSage009
: IM:With...a red chocobo feather. I wonder if Fresca will let me get one from that red chocobo of hers...
Arch mage144
: Another red mage, hm? Were you educated at Gunnir?
Lithaladhwen: I'm not a red mage, actually. Just fell in love with the wardrobe. ^_^
Lithaladhwen
: Couldn't help myself.
DWSage009
: IM:Or maybe I should get one from a raven. Or maybe Paper will let me get one of his glowing feathers...
DarkLordKelne
: I was indeed. *Grins* Best years of my life. Well, so far, anyway.
Arch mage144: And I can't blame you, miss.
Arch mage144: Gunnir is a remarkable place to grow up. Or to opt not to.
Lithaladhwen: ^_^
Arch mage144
: IM: Who is this guy?
Lithaladhwen
: I need to visit Gunnir someday. Do you think they'd let me?
DarkLordKelne
: Sure they would. There's pretty much an open door policy there.
Arch mage144: IM: He is entirely too enthusiastic.
DarkLordKelne
: Just need to watch out about opening some of those doors.
DWSage009: IM:Actually, I haven't seen Paper since I came back. I wonder why...I wonder if the JD still has that pie I like?
Lithaladhwen
: *claps her hands enthusiastically* Great! I'll be careful of the doors, too. *serious nod*
Arch mage144
: Yes, some of them bite.
Lithaladhwen: Hm. That's a little rude. I'll be careful.
DarkLordKelne
: *Sage nod*
Lithaladhwen: Xevan, do you mind if we go there at some point? I mean, not right away, but... you know.
Arch mage144
: It sounds like an inane place.
DWSage009
: IM:Wait, they're talking. Biting doors?
DWSage009
: I...think he was being metaphorical.
Lithaladhwen
: It sounds fun!
Arch mage144
: Who the hell're you, mister strong and silent?
Lithaladhwen: And it's a school for wizards. I'm sure you could research there and stuff.
Arch mage144
: Drow speak, I know they do.
DWSage009: IM:I hope he was being metaphorical.
Lithaladhwen
: (XD)
Arch mage144
: My research is not the type I imagine would be welcomed.
DWSage009
: <_<
DarkLordKelne
: IM: I can just picture Xevan getting along with the students. Or not getting along, as the case may be.
DWSage009: IM:Something tells me that I have wandered into inanity once more. Ah, Doma. Land of the nutty.
Arch mage144
: A mage, right? Unless your "research" is particularly vile, I wouldn't worry about it.
Arch mage144: You have no idea.
Arch mage144
: Let me guess. Immortality?
Arch mage144: ......
Lithaladhwen
: *sighs and looks at the ground* IM: He's doing it again. Making people suspicious.
Arch mage144
: I'm going to warn you right now, there's nothing that will drive a wizard insane like the quest for immortality.
Arch mage144: There's a good reason for that, you know.
DarkLordKelne: Never really seen the attraction of it, myself. Who needs to live forever?
Arch mage144: There's no good way to test whether or not it worked.
DWSage009: Vampirism, maybe?
Arch mage144
: Hmph. Who says living forever is my goal?
DWSage009
: >_> And yeah. One life is hard enough.
Arch mage144
: I've met mages like you before. It's written all over your face. Your aura is diverse, but it's got an interesting tilt to it. Like all drow, it tends toward the shadow plane.
Arch mage144: But you're trying to get it closer.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Like all Drow. *little scowl*
Arch mage144
: But hey, I never held that against anybody. I like drow.
DWSage009: IM:...I hope he doesn't read mine.
DarkLordKelne
: >_> Nah. Vampirism has its drawbacks. You go all crispy in the sun, for one. Most of the other methods have their problems as well.
Arch mage144: Do you.
DWSage009
: <_< Well, I was thinking more along the lines of taking strength from another person's body.
Arch mage144
: Oh yeah. Most of them.
Arch mage144: A couple notable exceptions, but I think I honestly have had more problems with demons than drow, and I'm married to one, so what's that say?
Arch mage144: You are entirely too full of words.
DarkLordKelne
: IM: I say most, but it's probably all of them.
Lithaladhwen: Well, everyone's different. There are plenty of bad humans and plenty of good Drow. *tiny glance at Xevan*
Arch mage144
: Is he your friend, miss?
Arch mage144: IM: "Good?"
Lithaladhwen
: Yes.
Lithaladhwen
: Whether he always admits it or not.
DWSage009
: >_>
Lithaladhwen
: And call me Holly. I'm not 'miss.' ^_^
Arch mage144
: I do not find myself to be particularly "vile," as you put it.
KnightsofSquare
has left the room.
DarkLordKelne: Eh, Xevan's alright.
Arch mage144: Yeah, you'd fit in at Gunnir. If you can cast magic, you fit in at Gunnir. Just watch your back, because while most people mean no harm, they're certainly full of...spirit.
Arch mage144: Holly, right. Oh, yeah. I forgot to introduce myself.
DarkLordKelne: IM: Grouchy, taciturn, and no sense of humour, but not that bad.
Arch mage144: My name is Hakaril James Silvar, Archmage, General, Astralist, Conjurer, Planar Cartographer, Linguist, Poet, Scholar, Swordsman, Metallurgist, Demon Hunter, Wyrmslayer, Gunnir Graduate, and Improvisational Lawyer!
Lithaladhwen: ...I know! *claps her hands over her mouth but can't suppress a smile*
Lithaladhwen
: I wanted to wait until you said something.
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
Arch mage144
: Your name is excruciatingly long.
Arch mage144
: You may want to shorten it, for the sake of brevity and ease.
DarkLordKelne
: IM: Good gods, that's a lot of titles.
DWSage009: >_>
Arch mage144
: Yeah, most people call me Hakaril. Those are my titles.
DWSage009: 'Improvisational' lawyer? How'd that come about?
Arch mage144
: General Silvar is also appropriate in formal situations. This is not one of them.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Ha! This place is excellent.
Arch mage144
: Ah! That's a very interesting story, actually.
Lithaladhwen: I'd like to hear it!
Arch mage144
: You see, I was travelling with some companions through the town of Varrock, a very...well, religious...town in northern Doma. Among them were Ara du Mythril and Taiar Valcrist, a mazoku.
DarkLordKelne: *Has of course heard of the infamous general Silvar, but hey, no sense in making a big deal out of it.*
Arch mage144: Oh, and Ash Fanrico, another General.
Lithaladhwen: *listens intently*
DWSage009
: o.o *Listen, listen, like a little boy at storytime. Which, in essence, he is*
Arch mage144
: Anyway, a number of our members got tied up in a murder that had occurred during the night. Being a town of holy men, they naturally suspected the outsiders. Particularly the mazoku.
Arch mage144: During the trial, we were provided no legal counsel. Not surprising.
Lithaladhwen: *LISTENS*
DarkLordKelne
: *Listening away*
Arch mage144: Anyway, someone had to defend our group before the court, and having studied a bit of law at school, not that I found most of it dreadfully interesting, of course, I felt myself qualified.
Arch mage144: As such, I am personally of the belief that, in a desperate situation where improvisation and quick wits are requird, that I am a suitable legal defendant.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I knew he'd have the best stories. I've heard about him!
Arch mage144
: Unfortunately, I believe that the trial was a mockery and a fixed farce, so our case was not well-recieved.
Arch mage144: And that, more or less, is the story.
DWSage009: Huh.
Lithaladhwen
: What happened after that?
Arch mage144
: Well, uh, let's just say it isn't a credit to my abilities as a lawyer, so I will conveniently leave it out.
DWSage009: >_>
DWSage009
: ...And you feel compelled to leave it in your title anyway?
Arch mage144
: Yes, because if the trial hadn't been rigged, I would have been an excellent attorney.
DarkLordKelne: *Grins faintly* Well, I presume you got everyone out of it anyway, so it can't have ended that badly.
Lithaladhwen: (Holly: "Tell me a story!" Hakaril: *talks for days on end*)
Arch mage144
: (He could.)
Lithaladhwen: (She'd let him.)
Arch mage144
: We did, eventually. It was a strange circumstance.
DWSage009: (So who would die first? Holly of story overdose, or Hak of anime-face overdose?)
Arch mage144
: (Being a bard, I bet she'd retell them)
Lithaladhwen: (She would!)
Arch mage144
: I heard you met Ardam the other day. He was talking about you. You have to be the same girl.
Arch mage144: Absurdly chipper.
Lithaladhwen: He mentioned me?
Lithaladhwen
: *abruptly blushes*
Arch mage144
: That might not be sufficient to describe it.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. He was here a couple of nights ago.
Arch mage144
: He was somewhat poetic about the whole affair.
DWSage009: >_>
Arch mage144
: Who is Ardam? *scowls*
DWSage009
: IM:Who are these people anyway?
Lithaladhwen
: *chews her thumbnail*
Lithaladhwen
: *giggles*
DWSage009
: IM:...Ah. She's got a crush.
DarkLordKelne
: IM: Xevan should really tone down the overprotectiveness.
DWSage009: IM:And so does he. It's hard to tell.
Arch mage144
: Ardam's a holy knight of sorts. A warrior-cleric of Kazeros.
DWSage009: IM:Damn drow, or something.
Lithaladhwen
: Ardam is fine, Xevan. I met him the other night. He's the one I told you about a little bit ago.
Arch mage144
: Perpetual slayer of dark and foul beings.
Arch mage144: Oh. Him.
Arch mage144
: I was rather unimpressed with the description you gave me.
DWSage009
: ...Who decides if it's dark adn foul?
Lithaladhwen
: What? He was nice!
DWSage009
: and*
Arch mage144
: He does, I guess, but his definition of "dark and foul" is generally pretty agreeable. Tyrants and murderers and evil wizards, mostly.
DarkLordKelne: (A qualified panel of experts.)
Lithaladhwen: (Anyone who weighs the same as a duck=dark and foul.)
DWSage009
: (Kumo:Ohcrap. *Is put on scale, is assumed to weigh as much as a duck*)
DarkLordKelne
: *Nods* Fair enough.
Lithaladhwen: (Kumo: *is a witch*)
DWSage009
: ...I suppose.
Lithaladhwen
: (Because he sure as hell isn't a duck. Or wood. Or possibly very small rocks.)
DWSage009
: (Kumo:*Waits until they're close...and then hits them all with the WAI FACE, ala Puss In Boots from Shrek 2*)
Arch mage144
: At last estimation, he wouldn't bother to hunt down anyone who didn't likely deserve it.
Lithaladhwen: ....*looks down shyly for a brief moment*
DarkLordKelne
: Generally anyone dangerous enough to make the list can probably look out for themselves.
Lithaladhwen: ...What did he say?
Arch mage144
: I hired him to help me slay a necromancer a while ago.
Arch mage144: I suppose that's an understatement.
Arch mage144: What? Oh. He described you to me, because I asked what he'd been doing.
Arch mage144: "I met a blonde girl dressed in flashy colors with a beautiful singing voice. She seemed interested in my ability to play the harmonica, unlike most other people I meet. And she was very friendly!"
Arch mage144: Also something about you wanting to hear long, involved stories about slaying evil wizards, but I don't believe he likes to tell those.
DWSage009: >_>
Lithaladhwen
: Mhm. *nods* He didn't want to give me details.
Arch mage144
: I'd do it, but we'd be here for a while.
DWSage009: IM:...Ten to one, that's how he lost the law case. Either that, or he saved everyone by talking the rest to sleep.
Lithaladhwen
: Well, sometime you should. It sounded very interesting.
Arch mage144
: The rough summary of it all is that an evil necromancer wanted to take over the world to impress a woman.
Lithaladhwen: *blink*
Lithaladhwen
: ...Oh. What's she like?
Arch mage144
: He wanted to do this by enslaving a bunch of extraplanar dragons.
Arch mage144: I don't know. Boring, really. I think I met her once. Not an extraordinary woman by my standards.
DWSage009: o_o
DWSage009
: ...Well, was she impressed?
Lithaladhwen
: Ah. Well.... yeah. What did she do?
DarkLordKelne
: Well, it's an original motive, I'll give him that.
Arch mage144: She was not.
DWSage009: He shoulda went with extraplanar chocolates, then.
Arch mage144
: In fact, I imagine she didn't like him. He's a pretty nasty guy. Necrophiliac, I think.
Lithaladhwen: >.o
Lithaladhwen
: But....
Lithaladhwen
: ._.
Lithaladhwen
: That's still kind of sad.
DWSage009
: Hey, don't let someone's sexual preferences decide who they are. I've found perfectly nice zombies.
DarkLordKelne
: <_< .....
Lithaladhwen: I mean... if the only way he can be happy is to hurt other people...
DWSage009
: *Knows they shouldn't be discussing this around them, and is taking pleasure in the fact that he does know what they talk about*
Lithaladhwen
: And that's the only way he knows to get what he wants, no wonder she wasn't interested.
Arch mage144
: I don't think that's quite the way it works.
Arch mage144: There are a few other issues involved.
DWSage009: *Them=him
DarkLordKelne
: IM: I'd almost swear the kid knows what that means.
DWSage009: (Wrong word city, tonight.)
Lithaladhwen
: Well, it's too bad he was crazy. Otherwise it might almost be romantic that he'd go so far for her.
Arch mage144
: Let's put it this way. Elaith Thenswick was ruthless as all hell, and willing to destroy the entire world because he thought it would impress her.
Lithaladhwen: *shakes head*
DWSage009
: <_<
Arch mage144
: Unfortunately, "world destruction" was not one of her turn-ons.
DWSage009: Well, at least he was determined.
Lithaladhwen
: Most women aren't into that, I think. I know I'm not, and I think that's normal.
Arch mage144
: Honestly, I think he was as interested in the world as he was in her, but it would have been a very close tie.
Arch mage144: Luckily, he is now dead.
Arch mage144: Unluckily, he may not stay that way, but I have people working on that problem, as well.
Lithaladhwen: Hm? What's going on?
Arch mage144
: Some lackey trying to resurrect him. She was dead, too. And I don't know who fixed that.
Lithaladhwen: That... sounds bad.
DWSage009
: IM:What's the old saying? 'Burn him, scatter the ashes in a lake, throw the lake into space, still keep an eye on your back'?
DarkLordKelne
: IM: Ah, the old nobody stays dead problem.
Arch mage144: I fear that there's something very wrong here.
Arch mage144: I don't like it. But I can't personally do anything right now.
Arch mage144: I believe the people I sent to do the job will handle it. That woman needs to be eliminated. She is a real threat.
DarkLordKelne: Sounds that way. *Makes a note to keep an eye out for strange happenings nonetheless.*
Lithaladhwen: Well, I-- I don't know how I could help, but if you need me for anything, I could certainly see what I could do. Don't know how much use I'd be...
Lithaladhwen
: I wouldn't have heard of this person, would I?
DWSage009
: *Makes mental notes to warn Jal of this himself*
DWSage009
: >_> I'll be glad to help as well...I'm not just a kid. I'm a fairly accomplished mage.
Arch mage144
: I imagine not.
DarkLordKelne: *Nods* If there's anything I can do, you need only ask.
Arch mage144: She's currently commanding some sort of cult-slash-army of psionic children. It's not a good situation.
DWSage009: ...Oh my.
Lithaladhwen
: *look of shock/horror* What?
DarkLordKelne
: IM: Not good at all.
Arch mage144: No. Not good.
Arch mage144: I think a lot of those children may have to die, unfortunately. Whatever brainwashing she's inflicted on them is not something that will be easily undone.
DWSage009: ...Well, I guess I've handled worse. I'll be happy to help, and I know two other white mages that can tend any wounded.
Lithaladhwen
: *She chews her thumbnail again for very different reasons than before. She's genuinely upset*
Arch mage144
: But hey, this isn't a park conversation topic, really.
Arch mage144: I find it somewhat interesting.
Lithaladhwen
: I guess.... but I'm glad you told us.
Arch mage144
: But my opinion is likely to be ignored.
Lithaladhwen
: *glances to Xevan* Your opinion's important to me.
Arch mage144
: However, the warning is appreciated. Should I encounter this woman, I will spare no effort in laying her to rest.
DarkLordKelne
: IM: There has to be a way other than just condemning kids to death for having the bad luck to wind up in her clutches...
Arch mage144: What happens at this point is somewhat out of my hands.
DWSage009: *Has a very different look in his eyes than any normal kid right now. He looks pretty damn focused, really* But...have you managed to capture any of the children?
Arch mage144
: Don't lecture me. I told the people involved in this to do whatever it took. If they decide to capture children and interrogate them, that is there perogative.
Arch mage144: *their
DWSage009: Not a lecture, just an honest question. I'd rather like to know how she managed to get psionic children working for her...
Arch mage144
: She's a psion herself. I don't know all the details, and won't begin to speculate.
Arch mage144: Mentally dominated them, maybe.
Arch mage144: Could be any number of possibilities.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Probably the same way I-- *blinks hard to clear the mind-control vicarious guilt stuff*
DWSage009
: ...Explains a bit. But it'd be difficult to dominate that many psionics, wouldn't it?
DarkLordKelne
: There are ways to break that sort of domination though, aren't there?
Lithaladhwen: It's.... not always about how powerful the other person is.
Lithaladhwen
: I've used magic like that before. ._.
Arch mage144
: There might be, but it would take time to figure out.
Arch mage144: Time we may or may not have. We'll see what we can do.
DWSage009: <_<
Arch mage144
: You? *looks bewildered*
DWSage009: ...Alright.
DWSage009
: *Nods* I'll take your word for it.
DarkLordKelne
: >_>
Lithaladhwen: Well... Would you rather I killed or threatened people? Sometimes it's better to convince them.
Lithaladhwen
: That way they can go home to their families or whathaveyou.
DWSage009
: ...Alright. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
DarkLordKelne
: IM: I'll have to look into this. I doubt I'll be in a position to do anything about it, but...
DWSage009: *Shiftgear-Aga!* Hey! You said that you would lead a song for me before this park became grand central square. How about a bit of music?
Arch mage144
: I find this moderately humorous.
Arch mage144: Anyway, music, sure, whatever
Lithaladhwen: What? Sure.
Arch mage144
: IM: Holly should not be so ashamed of her talents.
Lithaladhwen
: General? Any requests? Otherwise we'll probably just improv or something.
Arch mage144
: Unless you know the Gunnir school hymn, you're not going to be playing much I recognize anyway. I'm not a musician. Play with impunity.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. *pulls out her flute and tunes it*
DWSage009
: ...Play something full of life. That's all I ask.
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
Lithaladhwen
: *merry dance music ensues... sounds like you could dance anything from crazy Irish tap nonsense to a crazy miscellaneous folk dance thing*
Arch mage144
: IM: Not bad.
Arch mage144: IM: Certainly enthusiastic.
DarkLordKelne: IM: She's good alright. Never did get a chance to hear her before.
Lithaladhwen: *feels much better now that her mind's on her music and not questionable magic*
DWSage009
: *Taps to it for a moment...and then he sets off for the dance, doing something of a mix of sheer random movement and a riverdance. The kid's good*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: This is fantastic!
DWSage009
: (Hm...rolls for me! *Attempts something*)
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Though I do miss Gustav a little. He was always so much fun.
OnlineHost
: DWSage009 rolled 1 10-sided die: 4
Lithaladhwen: (And yes. Gustav exists. For the sake of justice and the proletariat)
Arch mage144
: (OK. Gustav exists.)
Lithaladhwen: (XD)
Arch mage144
: (This is fine, because I like Gustav.)
Arch mage144: (He should exist.)
Lithaladhwen: *glissando....and more playing! music is awesome.*
DWSage009
: *And...as he's dancing, little lights appear around him, some of them dancing to the tune all on their own, some of them playing off Kumo, moving with him*
Lithaladhwen
: *Kumo's clothing begins to change color rapidly, shifting back and forth through the color spectrum*
DarkLordKelne
: IM: Snazzy.
Lithaladhwen: *Holly winks at him*
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
DWSage009
: *Laughs as his clothes start changing color, starting on the illusion with a bit more...flair*
OnlineHost
: DWSage009 rolled 1 12-sided die: 10
OnlineHost: DWSage009 rolled 1 8-sided die: 1

DWSage009: *No more comes of the lights, but his dancing has never been better! His DDR skills would pwn all. >:*
Lithaladhwen
: (*travels to the future to bring groove groove uprising to present Gaera*)
DWSage009
: (Kumo:*Is that kid that pwns freaking everybody, no matter how good they are against their friends*)
Lithaladhwen
: *brings the music to an awesome and lively climax--whoo!*
Lithaladhwen
: *is swaying as she plays, clearly concentrating*
DWSage009
: *Decides another little flair...just because he's him*
OnlineHost
: DWSage009 rolled 1 10-sided die: 1
DWSage009: *And while he's playing...other Moogles start to enter the clearing, in a variety of clothing, and doing a variety of moves...alone, they're all random. Together? Well...still kinda random, but it's a really good dance*
Lithaladhwen
: *the music seems to spin with the moogles as Holly finally starts to pull the song up to it's ending*
Lithaladhwen
: *its
DWSage009
: *And as it enters the last stages, the Moogles begin to bow and leave the park, one by one, until only two are left...and when the song is finally over, it simply vanishes in a few lights. Kumo is grinning wildly, of course*
Lithaladhwen
: *sits down right on the grass when she's finished, exhausted but laughing*
Lithaladhwen
: That was so much fun!
Lithaladhwen
: *has to set the flute down* We've got to do that again sometime.
Arch mage144
: Excellent music. And you're not a terrible dancer, moogle.
Lithaladhwen: He's great!
DWSage009
: *Sits down himself, though on the bench* Yeah...you're great with that flute. And...uh...I'll take that as a compliment. I think.
Lithaladhwen
: *catches her breath* That was a good idea. I feel much better.
DWSage009
: *Grins a bit, glad the little plan worked* I'd hoped you would. And yeah...we do have to do that again.
Lithaladhwen
: *whips out the little card from her coat pocket* Well, I know where to find you.
DWSage009
: *Nods* Yeah...oh, and I'm staying with two white mages and another guy named Tolaris.
Lithaladhwen
: Nothing like a little music when you're feeling kind of stir-crazy. We've already been here longer than we stay in most places.
Arch mage144
: *allows himself a barely noticeable smile*
Lithaladhwen
: *nods* Good to know. But it's nice to find so many talented people here. Two musicians the other night, and now I found someone to dance with me!
DarkLordKelne
: IM: I know that feeling. Though the capital's a bit trickier to get bored in.
Lithaladhwen: *leans back and looks up at Xevan so that he's upside down* Do you mind if we stay a little longer?
Lithaladhwen
: *tips back her hat to make eye contact*
Arch mage144
: In this city?
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah.
Arch mage144
: ...no, not particularly. It has proven to be a decent place to be.
Lithaladhwen
: *upside down ^_^* Okay. Just checking.
DWSage009
: o.o Where are you staying?
DWSage009
: *Curious, curious*
Lithaladhwen
: Oh, wherever.
DWSage009
: ...I can give you directions to a good, cheap inn if you like.
Lithaladhwen
: Oh, that's okay. We always find someplace nice.
DWSage009
: *Shrugs* There's also room in the Healing House...though you'd have to put up with three men and a Moogle.
DWSage009
: (...Three Men and a Moogle. Sounds like a bad Gaera sitcom, don't it?)
Lithaladhwen
: I wouldn't mind, but I think Xevan would want something less.... hm. crowded. *upside down to Xevan* Am I right?
Arch mage144
: I am fine at our current place of establishment.
Lithaladhwen
: Okay!
DarkLordKelne
: Well, I think I'll be on my way. Good seeing you all.
Lithaladhwen: *fwips back right-side-up again*
DWSage009
: *Nods* Night.
Lithaladhwen
: *waves* Good seeing you too!
DarkLordKelne
: Look me up if you want a guide to show you around Gunnir.
Lithaladhwen: I will!
DWSage009
: >_>
DWSage009
: <_<
DWSage009
: IM:Well, I made a friend.
DWSage009
: IM:And an acquaintence whom I am not sure would or wouldn't want to put my head on a pike.
DarkLordKelne
: IM: I keep meaning to donate that book to the library there. Must do that sometime.
DWSage009: IM:...And met a general. A weird general.
DarkLordKelne
: *Waves and makes his way off*
Lithaladhwen: *waves back again*
Lithaladhwen
: (DWSage009: IM:And an acquaintence whom I am not sure would or wouldn't want to put my head on a pike. That Stephan or Xevan?)
DarkLordKelne
: (Jeff: It's a very interesting read. You just have to skim past the bits that'll make your brain ooze out of your ears.)
DWSage009: (Xevan. He knows full well Stephan would want him to be a decoration.)
Lithaladhwen
: (XD)
Lithaladhwen
: (I thought so.)
DWSage009
: (Though Mid wouldn't take that well.)
DarkLordKelne
: (Well, Kumo would actually fit on Xevan's wall.)
Lithaladhwen: (Unlike a Kraken)
DWSage009
: (Kumo:e_e Hey, I can face down Kelne and the stupidity of #32! I can take on anything!)
DWSage009
: (Kumo:Except Bunny Kelne. She scares me.)
Lithaladhwen
: (It happens)
Lithaladhwen
: *flips back upside-down to address Hakaril* General? Sometime in the near future would you mind telling me more of your stories? Ardam doesn't talk as much as you do.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Come to think of it, most people don't talk as much as the General does.
DWSage009
: IM:#32 talks less than the general does, even if you ask him to tell everything he knows about digging.
DarkLordKelne
has left the room.
Arch mage144: My stories?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah.
Arch mage144
: I'd love to! You know, I really enjoy telling stories.
Lithaladhwen: ^_^
Lithaladhwen
: Great!
DWSage009
: <_<
Lithaladhwen
: It's not often I find someone who's got time to tell me things. But I always enjoy it.
DWSage009
: I've gotta get some sleep. See you later?
Arch mage144
: Oh, well. I wouldn't mind telling you stories.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. Of course! I'll stop by sometime. Thanks for playing around with me tonight! I had a lot of fun.
Arch mage144
: Yes, of course.
DWSage009: *Nods* Sure thing.
DWSage009
: *Scampers off, as Sage is quite tired*
DWSage009
: (Night all)
Lithaladhwen
: Thanks, General. Um. Hm. I guess I could probably just wait until I run into you again. Are you here a lot?
Lithaladhwen
: (night)
DWSage009
has left the room.
Arch mage144: Frequently, yes.
Lithaladhwen: Okay! Well, it sounds like a plan. *nods emphatically which, given the orientation of her head, is a little odd-looking*
Lithaladhwen
: *turns right-side up and turns around, as her company is now on the other side*
Lithaladhwen
: Hm. Well, Xevan's much more of a night-time person than I am. I think I'm going to head back and retire for the night. Are you coming with, Xevan, or are you going to stay here for a while?
Arch mage144
: I shall return to the inn as well. I have things to do that are not so easy to accomplish in the park.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Bet a gil he comes with. That's Xevan. Can't say I really mind though.
Arch mage144
: Bringing all of my arcane tomes out here would be highly inconvenient.
Lithaladhwen
: Okay. Well, good night, General. It was great to finally meet you. I'd heard a lot about you.
Arch mage144
: A man after my own heart.
Arch mage144: Ah, it happens.
Lithaladhwen: *gets up off the grass*
Arch mage144
: Stories go around, you see.
Arch mage144: I hope you've only heard the good ones.
Lithaladhwen: All stories are good. ^_^
Lithaladhwen
: *yawns*
Arch mage144
: Heh. An intriguing philosophy.
Lithaladhwen: Works for me!
Lithaladhwen
: ^_^
Arch mage144
: I suppose it does. Anyway, you enjoy the remainder of your evening.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. You too.
Lithaladhwen
: *heads off to get some shut-eye*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I wonder why it took me so long to come to Doma. I can't stay here forever. I'd go nuts. But for now, it's kind of nice.
Lithaladhwen
: *yawns and stretches* I need to go to bed.
Lithaladhwen
: (and so does her player)
Arch mage144
: (Agreed)
Lithaladhwen: (And to you lurkers... yes the RP lasted this long. Take that. *judo chop*)
Lithaladhwen
: </Holly>
Besyanteo
has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: </RP>
