You have just entered room "cirpactionshadow."
CGNakibe has entered the room.
OMG Dirty has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
CGNakibe: Mrow?
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
CGNakibe: RAR.
T3chn0Namagomi: Blah
OMG Dirty: Blee.
Lithaladhwen: Yarr.
OMG Dirty: PENIS!
Lithaladhwen: pony pekinese parka PARCEL PORPOISE PENIS!
T3chn0Namagomi: PENIS!
CGNakibe: Penis!
Arch mage144: PENIS?
OMG Dirty: Pony Pekinese parka parcel peptobismal peking poke PENIS!
Lithaladhwen: Hee.
Lithaladhwen: You said peking.
OMG Dirty: Yes. We have established this is a good word. *nods*
Lithaladhwen: *giggles*
OMG Dirty: :P
OMG Dirty: Do I win some sort of prize?
Arch mage144: Peking duck is terrible.
Arch mage144: And I had it in Beijing, so I am an authority on this.
CGNakibe: Peking parrot penis patch picked a peck of peppered PENIS!
Lithaladhwen: !
OMG Dirty: Hmm.....
Lithaladhwen: winnar.
OMG Dirty: Yes.
OMG Dirty: Though Popenfresh Penis amuses me too.
Arch mage144: Are we here to RP or shout words that start with P?
OMG Dirty: >_> RP has a P in it.
CGNakibe: Popenstuffin penis panties?
OMG Dirty: Pasties Penis.
Lithaladhwen: I am here to RP eventually, but I do not have specifics nailed down yet. So. If anyone has a location preference, or character preference, please speak now or forever hold your P's.
Arch mage144: >_<
OMG Dirty: *snicker*
Arch mage144: Whatever. I think I'll play Hakaril plus one other character or so as the mood strikes. Maybe Darin. That's the mood I'm in.
CGNakibe: ...Hm.
CGNakibe: Solis, perhaps.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm...
CGNakibe: If we're in the current day, he'd be about 10 or so. Curious, and probably will bother someone. A lot. >:P
T3chn0Namagomi: Chances are, it'll be Kamos...
T3chn0Namagomi: But that's mainly because I don't have any other characters in mind at the moment
A Rockin SN has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: Nothing's decided yet, Pastagami.
A Rockin SN: Very well.
Lithaladhwen: Near as I can tell, people intend to go for first gen, yes?
CGNakibe: Chose Solis in my case because I wasn't sure what gen.
DarkLordKelne has entered the room.
CGNakibe: Yo Kelne.
Lithaladhwen: Might play Shakti, just for fun. Not sure yet.
DarkLordKelne: Hey.
Lithaladhwen: Locations, people?
CGNakibe: Hm. Doma, maybe?
Arch mage144: I'm okay with the park, since it's a generally accessible place.
Arch mage144: If you would prefer to be indoors, there's always the IH. Perhaps people are retreating indoors from a fall rainstorm.
A Rockin SN: Bah. First gen. :-(
Lithaladhwen: First gen is easier for me at the moment unless for some reason I felt like sleeping with all the other PCs.
Lithaladhwen: In which case I'd be set.
T3chn0Namagomi: Dan loses
Arch mage144: Why does he lose?
T3chn0Namagomi: A Rockin SN: Bah. First gen. :-(
Arch mage144: I'm playing my second gen character in two RPs right now anyway.
T3chn0Namagomi: I have no second gen character
Arch mage144: And one of them is a first-gen RP.
Arch mage144: You should fix that.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah. I finally have ideas
T3chn0Namagomi: Amusingly, one would likely be an utter terror in PS 2.0
T3chn0Namagomi: ER, damnit
T3chn0Namagomi: Force of habit
T3chn0Namagomi: You know what I did mean. ^^;
Lithaladhwen: PS 1.n?
T3chn0Namagomi: Revised PS
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. PS 0.n, I say
Arch mage144: Er, what the hell do you mean by utter terror?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Give him a couple of levels, and you'd see.
Arch mage144: So what you're saying is that you could twink out a character.
T3chn0Namagomi: Didn't intentionally do so at first
Arch mage144: That doesn't make it any more impressive. =P
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. Forget it. 9_9
Lithaladhwen: Location.
CGNakibe: Location Location!
Lithaladhwen: IH and park have been submitted. Any others?
Lithaladhwen: If you don't have any other suggestions, I'm just going to flip a coin.
Lithaladhwen: Or roll d2.
Lithaladhwen: Whatever you want to call it.
A Rockin SN: Roll d20 then.. Uhm.
A Rockin SN: Do something really complicated.
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 2-sided die: 1
Lithaladhwen: IH.
Lithaladhwen: Now. Time of day. Or I'll roll for that, too.
Arch mage144: Also roll for random weather, wind direction, and the current state of Zeke's penis.
Lithaladhwen: I might have to if no one has decisions to make.
Lithaladhwen: Also, for that last one, there are no one-sided dice.
CGNakibe: But there are many one-sided fights.
Arch mage144: Anyway! We are totally going to be in the inn. Let's say eveningish. Dinner time.
Arch mage144: It seems appropriate.
Arch mage144: YOU WILL GET IN CHARACTER NOW OR I WILL BEAT YOU WITH A VERY BLUNT STICK
Lithaladhwen: ulp.
Arch mage144: <Hakaril James Silvar>
T3chn0Namagomi: <Kamos Mazuo>
CGNakibe: <Solis, you big meanie! ;_; >
Lithaladhwen: <Shakti, bearer of no important last name>
Lithaladhwen: ( pictures make life easier )
Arch mage144: *sitting at the bar, as usual, sipping away at a cup of tea...*
Arch mage144: *Hakaril appears to be in one of his rare public, silent, contemplative moments where he isn't yelling at everyone*
Lithaladhwen: *sitting at a table in the corner, taking notes from one book into another*
CGNakibe: *hops and skips into the Ivory Horn, looking lively and happy as he generally tends to be.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *sits in the bar, seeming to be in a contemplative mood himself*
Arch mage144: IM: Hey, it's Solis. He's okay! Somehow, I knew he would be.
Arch mage144: IM: He seems like a tough little kid.
Arch mage144: Hey, Solis!
CGNakibe: >.> Hey, mister Hakaril! ^-^
Arch mage144: Where've you been? As I understand it, you got kinda displaced when the inn burned down...
CGNakibe: *runs over to the table, nearly tripping over his robes*
CGNakibe: Yeah, I was. Thank goodness we weren't there when the inn burned down. *nod nod*
CGNakibe: Miss Dia left me with some nice people, since Big Brother is supposed to be coming by here soon.
CGNakibe: .... *looks thoughtful* Its strange that our place burned down, though... it was nice and miss Dia was really careful. v.v
Arch mage144: Yeah...she was.
Arch mage144: Unfortunately, every once in a while, you slip up, no matter how careful you are.
Arch mage144: Let's just hope no one makes any more mistakes.
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Arch mage144: (Whoops)
Lithaladhwen: *Kamos gets that weird 'eyes boring into your skull because you're being watched' feeling*
CGNakibe: Hm. v.v
CGNakibe: ... Oh, that reminds me!
Arch mage144: Hm?
CGNakibe: I need to practice more with my cards sometime.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around*
CGNakibe: Maybe that'll help out. o.o Do you think so?
Arch mage144: Well, I always find that a continuing education in magic helps with a lot of problems.
Arch mage144: And you seem to have a very unusual talent.
Arch mage144: To not practice it would be a real waste.
Lithaladhwen: *Kamos sees a woman sitting cross-legged on a chair in the obligatory shadowy corner with a kukri resting across her lap. She's writing in a book and occasionally glancing up at him*
CGNakibe: *GRRRROWWWLLL* 6.6 Excuse me mister Hakaril.
Arch mage144: ...that was a very loud noise.
Arch mage144: Is that your stomach Solis?
CGNakibe: I forgot I was here for dinner. ^_^;;
Arch mage144: It's on me. Order whatever you want.
CGNakibe: Thank you!
Arch mage144: No problem.
CGNakibe: *orders a couple of hot dogs.*
Arch mage144: Hot dogs, huh? I hear those are pretty good. They're a Barian dish, aren't they?
CGNakibe: Uh huh. Rob likes em a lot, so I started liking em too.
Arch mage144: ...that's the entire reason?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...and what's your fascination with me?
CGNakibe: Nope! They taste good too!
T3chn0Namagomi: *to Shakti*
Lithaladhwen: *ignores.... writes*
Lithaladhwen: *occasionally glances up at Hakaril and Solis now as well*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...*glares, drinks more sake*
A Rockin SN: (Hm...)
A Rockin SN: (Let me see... Loen!)
CGNakibe: So what have you been doing, mister Hakaril?
Arch mage144: Ah, well, that is the reason you should eat them, then.
Arch mage144: I've been trying to find the woman responsible for the destruction of the Jade Dragon. It's not the only crime she's committed.
CGNakibe: Oh. o.o
CGNakibe: Miss Dia would want to know if you find her, I think. 9.9
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
Arch mage144: Yeah. Oh, I'll let her know.
A Rockin SN: *clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk~!*
CGNakibe: Although... I don't think I'd wanna be there. >.>;;;;
Arch mage144: Heh.
CGNakibe: Miss Dia would be reaaaally mad at her.
Arch mage144: Somehow I doubt Dia is going to be the one to punish her. But someone will take care of it.
CGNakibe: Good. Because Miss Dia is REALLY scary when she's mad too. ;_;
A Rockin SN: *Thus did a person wearing metal boots and random pieces of armor walk in the inn! Short, neck-length hair, a pale-ish face, blue eyes, and a decently sized scar on his neck and lower cheek mark this young man as he walks in!*
Arch mage144: Yeah, Solis, she can be, can't she?
CGNakibe: Uh huh *nodnodnod*
A Rockin SN: *Though it looks like he cannot be a day older than 18, maybe 19...*
Lithaladhwen: *watches the newcomer*
CGNakibe: I just hope Big Brother isn't too worried about me. Its been a long while.
Arch mage144: I'm afraid I haven't seen him in a while, either.
A Rockin SN: *sits down, his expression worried, as he puts his sword on the table!*
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Fuckin' AIM)
Lithaladhwen: (Where's he sitting?)
CGNakibe: If I was better at my magic I'd be able to talk to him more often. But talking like that is hard.
A Rockin SN: (Random table. :O)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Kamos?)
Lithaladhwen: (No.)
CGNakibe: Big Brother can't help when I do it.
CGNakibe: So I have to listen real hard.
Lithaladhwen: (Dan's character is present and sitting somewhere.)
A Rockin SN: (Loen!)
Arch mage144: Well, telepathy is very difficult.
Lithaladhwen: (I see!)
CGNakibe: I can do it well enough... but not from too far away. Its hard then.
Lithaladhwen: *closes her books and stacks them on top of each other*
Lithaladhwen: *fastens her kukri around her waist again and walks directly to Loen's table*
Arch mage144: Yeah, distance tends to increase a lot of the natural difficulties of direct mind-to-mind communication.
T3chn0Namagomi: *studies the woman, astrally if possible*
Arch mage144: I never learned it, myself...*mutters a little*
CGNakibe: o.o I didn't know that.
Lithaladhwen: *Her aura... is weird. She's more than likely a mage, but her aura looks like it's been altered in some barely-discernible way*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Hmm...
Lithaladhwen: *to Loen* Hey. What's going on?
A Rockin SN: *raises his eyes to her* *speaking in a strange, undiscernable accent* Pardon?
Arch mage144: Never knew what?
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* You just look like you've got something on your mind. I'm here to talk to people, and you seem like you could use someone to talk to. Am I right?
CGNakibe: I didn't know you couldn't talk to people like I do. o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos seems to return to his contemplative state, thinking about something or other*
CGNakibe: *seems a tad weirded out by this new development*
Lithaladhwen: (Is he thinking about how cheap Valthi weddings are?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Nope)
Lithaladhwen: (He should be. They're totally less expensive, as we've all learned.)
A Rockin SN: *raising an eyebrow, though not looking annoyed, merely curious*
A Rockin SN: I've got much on my mind, that is true. Who are you, stranger?
Lithaladhwen: My name's Shakti. Yours?
A Rockin SN: *runs finger along a necklace, engraved with a group of horses on gallop*
A Rockin SN: Loen.
CGNakibe: ... Just... I'm used to you knowing everything about magic, Mister Hakaril. o.o -.- o.o
Lithaladhwen: Nice to meet you. Now what's up? You look bothered about something.
Arch mage144: Oh.
Arch mage144: Well, I'm afraid I never bothered to learn much about mental magic.
A Rockin SN: *shrugging* I suppose it won't hurt. I merely seek a stable job.
A Rockin SN: IM: Until I can find a way back home.
Arch mage144: ...let's just say I went out of my way not to. I didn't like the subject when I went to Gunnir.
Lithaladhwen: Heh. *sits* Know the feeling. You got a job now, or no?
A Rockin SN: If I did, I wouldn't be looking for one.
CGNakibe: Oh. You don't like people talking to your head. o.o
Lithaladhwen: You might be looking for a better one than the one you've got now. But I guess that's not the case. What kind of job are you looking for?
Lithaladhwen: Streetsweeping is a stable job. You could go for that.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: How much is enough...?
Arch mage144: ...no, honestly, I don't.
Arch mage144: It irritates me.
Arch mage144: Call it a personal pet peeve.
CGNakibe: I met some people that didn't like it when I did that.
CGNakibe: They yelled at me a lot. v.v
A Rockin SN: Streetsweeping..?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: How much more power is enough...?
Arch mage144: Well, I wouldn't yell at you, Solis...
A Rockin SN: *raises an eyebrow. At this point, a slight haughty look appears on his face*
Lithaladhwen: *smirk*
Arch mage144: (WTF)
Arch mage144: (Er)
Arch mage144: (Somehow I got into typing in superscript mode)
Arch mage144: (But it doesn't come out as superscript)
CGNakibe: Big Brother just told me not talk to people without asking.
Lithaladhwen: Well? What kind of job are you looking for? What do you do?
CGNakibe: Besides. Sometimes I hear things I'm not s'posed to.
A Rockin SN: Well, you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you, miss.
Arch mage144: ...have you been reading people's minds, Solis?
CGNakibe: No. At least, not recently.
Lithaladhwen: *snicker* Riiight.
CGNakibe: Sometimes I read miss Dia's mind and she's saying bad stuff.
A Rockin SN: IM: "I am a Noble from another world, and am, by marriage, the prince of one of the largest and wealthiest country in said world". Really believable.
A Rockin SN: (*countries)
Lithaladhwen: IM: Spanish Hindi Gypsy Interdimensional Anthropologist. I'd like to see him beat that.
CGNakibe: (I am a displaced King of Nigeria! Invest money in me to help me get back my fortune! :D!)
Lithaladhwen: (I am the Prince of All Cosmos. I must reclaim my right to the throne by rolling stuff into stars!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Why pardon me my friend. I am Nigerian Royalty, and I need you to send me money! Please ignore the fact that I cannot spell Nigeria. Or Royalty.)
A Rockin SN: What..?
Lithaladhwen: Nothing. I promise to believe you.
Lithaladhwen: *overly serious nod*
Lithaladhwen: Whatever it may be.
Lithaladhwen: *represses a smile*
Arch mage144: You read Dia's mind, huh?
A Rockin SN: *eyebrow* I'm... a knight. Son of Artem, a noble... Well, from another world.
A Rockin SN: IM: She doesn't need to know anything else.
CGNakibe: Well.. umm... yeah.... ^_^;;; I didn't mean to.. v.v
Lithaladhwen: What world?
A Rockin SN: *shrugging* We never gave it a name.
Lithaladhwen: Well, how did you get here? Interdimensional travel usually requires either enormous resources or really unfortunate circumstances.
A Rockin SN: Consider it the latter.
A Rockin SN: (I forgot the names! ;_; )
Lithaladhwen: How long have you been here?
A Rockin SN: Almost a year now...
Lithaladhwen: (The names?)
Lithaladhwen: Damn. If you don't have a job, what have you been up to?
Arch mage144: Oh yeah?
Arch mage144: And what was she thinking?
CGNakibe: I... um... I don't think I'm supposed to say... >.>;;;
A Rockin SN: *chuckling* I said, a stable job...
Lithaladhwen: Ah. Point taken.
Lithaladhwen: My job isn't exactly stable either. I know the feeling.
A Rockin SN: *calmly unsheaths his sword, and notices a speck of blood upon it. He picks it off with a nail, then takes out a cloth and cleans the remains, before re-sheathing it*
Lithaladhwen: *looks at the sword with some interest, but doesn't seem interested in what he's doing with it*
Lithaladhwen: Nice weapon.
A Rockin SN: *simply* A gift from Her Majesty.
Lithaladhwen: Always good. *amused*Appears to have gotten some use.
A Rockin SN: A friend of mine used to say- "They never pick the easy way". He's right.
Lithaladhwen: No one ever accomplished anything the easy way, to be fair.
Lithaladhwen: For good or ill.
Arch mage144: *grins*
Arch mage144: You can definitely tell me.
T3chn0Namagomi: Bah. There is technically no easy way, in reality
Lithaladhwen: *looks over her shoulder* Someone's pessimistic. But come sit down. Be pessimistic over here.
T3chn0Namagomi: If there was an easy way, people would bother taking it once in a while. *snickers*
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh, what the hell. *gets up, takes another swig of sake, sits down closer to the person in question*
Lithaladhwen: Name's Shakti. Who are you?
T3chn0Namagomi: Kamos Mazuo, a professional mercenary.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yes, Kamos bothered to bring his gun in. As usual*
Lithaladhwen: Uh huh. Good to meet you.
Lithaladhwen: (He wearing that openly?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yep)
Lithaladhwen: *glances* Nice gun. Didn't know they had those here. Where'd you get it?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...That, is a secret.
Lithaladhwen: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: (sore wa.....)
Lithaladhwen: (...himitsu desu)
Lithaladhwen: Uh huh. Whatever.
Lithaladhwen: *back to Loen* So. You think you'll be heading back to the nameless world of your origin any time soon?
A Rockin SN: *shrugging* As soon as I can find a way back.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Another offworlder, huh?
Lithaladhwen: *eyeroll*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...This place seems to be getting them by the day.
Arch mage144: IM: It looks like Kamos is totally talking to that woman.
Lithaladhwen: Yes. It does.
Arch mage144: IM: Good for him.
Arch mage144: IM: However, I predict he will screw it up.
Lithaladhwen: Well, I hope you figure something out.
Arch mage144: IM: Wait. I forgot about Sarah. He's engaged.
Lithaladhwen: *to Loen*
Arch mage144: IM: It's easy to forget that someone would want to marry Kamos...
T3chn0Namagomi: (Hakaril: No, wait, he's technically not engaged. He hasn't asked yet)
Arch mage144: IM: ...Kamos has parents. I wonder what they're like?
Arch mage144: IM: ...AHHHHHHHHh!
T3chn0Namagomi: (Kamos: Corpses)
CGNakibe: Well.... umm...
Arch mage144: *suddenly screams out--it's a very short yelp*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
CGNakibe: I think she'd gotten into a fight with mister... Eh? o.O
T3chn0Namagomi: The hell? o_o *looking at Hakaril*
Lithaladhwen: *glances over her shoulder at Hakaril*
Arch mage144: Uh...nothing!
Lithaladhwen: *eyebrow*
CGNakibe: Are you alright mister Hakaril?!? O.o
Arch mage144: Go back to whatever you were doing! I just was thinking of something relatively unpleasant!
A Rockin SN: *turns to Hakaril, blinking slowly*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. You enjoy that. Don't hurt yourself. *back to her table*
Arch mage144: Quit looking at me like I'm crazy!
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Now I'm curious. There aren't exactly many things I've known you to see as "relatively unpleasant"...
Arch mage144: None of your business!
T3chn0Namagomi: Unless I make it mine.
Arch mage144: Whatever. Are your parents going to be at the wedding?
CGNakibe: >.> But you were yelling so much Mister Hakaril...
Arch mage144: Speaking of which, when is the wedding?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...They're dead, dumbass.
Arch mage144: Oh.
Lithaladhwen: *turns to face the new conversation*
CGNakibe: (Rather small wedding.)
Arch mage144: ......that...is...I see.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm not going to go to Sector A of Kalmiahtiden with a shovel and try to dig them up
Arch mage144: IM: ...for a minute I almost felt bad.
CGNakibe: (Might wanna use the Vegas Drive-Thru chapel. >:{{{ )
Arch mage144: o_O I should hope not.
CGNakibe: (Elaith: ... well now... there's a thought...)
T3chn0Namagomi: And technically, I haven't found a good oppurtunity to ask her yet. Plus I don't have a ring or any such deal. Hopefully after this one deal I should, though.
Arch mage144: Deal?
Arch mage144: You're doing a job so you can afford an engagement ring? How sweet.
T3chn0Namagomi: And other stuff
Arch mage144: "I totally bought this with money I earned from knocking off some jerk."
Arch mage144: "I love you forever!"
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Don't make me kick your ass
Arch mage144: Nothing I can do would enable you to do that, I'm afraid.
Lithaladhwen: *snicker*
T3chn0Namagomi: At least, nothing you are doing would let me do so without five to ten asshole guards led by General Asshole Griff coming in with an excuse to attack me
T3chn0Namagomi: For the count, he's not going.
CGNakibe: >.>;;;;
Arch mage144: Five to ten guards? General Asshole Griff?
Arch mage144: You think I need help to fight you?
Lithaladhwen: *grin*
Lithaladhwen: *to Hakaril* Hi. I'm Shakti. Nice to meet you. You're... Hakaril Silvar I presume?
CGNakibe: *considers hiding under a table*
Arch mage144: Yeah. So you've heard of me? Excellent. Everyone should have, at some point...
T3chn0Namagomi: Don't underestimate me. *chuckles*
Lithaladhwen: I've read a couple of things that mentioned you.
Lithaladhwen: IM: He's a bastard. I like him.
Arch mage144: Yeah, whatever. In any case, I don't want to kick your ass, because I haven't really got anything against you.
T3chn0Namagomi: And you haven't really pissed me off enough for me to want enough to do so.
Arch mage144: I could fix that.
Arch mage144: Man, you're edgy.
T3chn0Namagomi: When am I not edgy?
Arch mage144: That's what I'd like to know.
A Rockin SN: *mutters* I think that's what he means.
CGNakibe: *yep, creep creep under the table. Probably best that way.. You know, just in case.*
Arch mage144: Do you chill out any when you get laid?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...and you're bringing this subject up why?
Lithaladhwen: *repressed laughter*
CGNakibe: IM: Get... laid? o.O
Arch mage144: Because if you're still this edgy after sex, I can only imagine the hilarious results.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
CGNakibe: *now he's scared AND confused.*
Arch mage144: *high falsetto* Kamos sweetheart, everything alright?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Deeum doesn't address me like that.
Arch mage144: *deep, overly manly voice* WHAT!? I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!
Lithaladhwen: *lots of laughter* See, this is what I need after several days of crazy gypsy inlaws.
T3chn0Namagomi: And you have both voices quite wrong.
Arch mage144: Yeah, because I'm mocking you. It's called humor.
Arch mage144: Did you leave yours in Valth?
OMG Dirty: (Farida: Who's crazy?!)
CGNakibe: Umm... umm.. you two don't have to fight or anything, do you? 9.9;;;
A Rockin SN: *coughs slightly, the flush in his face showing his repressed laughter*
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, at least this time it's someone who actually earned his own power, unlike the last fool who mocked me.
Lithaladhwen: IM: ooh. A compliment.
Arch mage144: Are you calling me a fool, Kamos?
T3chn0Namagomi: Maybe, maybe not. *chuckles*
Arch mage144: I'll take that as a compliment from a man who supports a government whose leaders he's never even seen.
T3chn0Namagomi: *smirks*
Arch mage144: Not that this is about your politics.
CGNakibe: (The arrogance in this inn is OFF THE CHARTS!!!)
T3chn0Namagomi: I prefer to stay out of politics.
Arch mage144: And no, Solis. We don't have to fight. That would be a definite waste of time.
Arch mage144: I'm afraid I don't always have that option. So I at least attempt to make an effort to understand them.
Lithaladhwen: *crosses her arms and sits back to watch the show*
CGNakibe: Oh, okay. 9.9 *stays under table*
Arch mage144: You can also come out from under the table, unless you like it under there.
CGNakibe: I'll... um... be fine here for the moment Mister Hakaril. ^_^;;;
Arch mage144: (BRB)
A Rockin SN: *watch watch*
FFFan80 has entered the room.
A Rockin SN: *trying to divert attention from the argument*
Lithaladhwen: *slips her kukri out of the sheath briefly, glances at it with a smile, and then puts it back.*
A Rockin SN: So, what about yourself, ma'am?
Lithaladhwen: IM: New. I like it.
Lithaladhwen: *blink* What about me?
Arch mage144: (Back)
A Rockin SN: Well, you've been asking enough questions about me. It's only polite.
Lithaladhwen: I guess. What do you want to know?
Lithaladhwen: I've only been here long enough to meet the woman who scammed my brother into marriage and discover that he's somehow not bothered by it. Other than that, I've just been hanging around for the moment.
Arch mage144: Why, what's so great about being under the table?
FFFan80 has left the room.
Arch mage144: Are you trying to conduct shady business deals, Solis?
CGNakibe: Um... no, sir.
Lithaladhwen: Any...thing else?
CGNakibe: 9.9;;;
A Rockin SN: Hanging around?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. Spending idle time, loitering about, etc.
CGNakibe: (And generally acting suspicious. >:{)
Arch mage144: No? Good.
Arch mage144: That means that you can come out.
CGNakibe: O... okay. *crawls out from under the table, still eyeing Hakaril and Kamos* >.>;;;;
A Rockin SN: You must not live far away if you don't have that concern.
Lithaladhwen: I don't have to live anywhere. Where I came from has little to do with where I live.
Lithaladhwen: For now I live in the asscrack of Doma capital. That may change in the near future, it may now.
Lithaladhwen: *not
CGNakibe: (Doma has a Baltimore-equivalent? o.o)
Lithaladhwen: (Or something.)
A Rockin SN: ... Pardon?
Lithaladhwen: Nice little hole-in-the-wall hotel where no one bothers me. You seem confused.
A Rockin SN: I have never heard of... that word being used to refer to a bad area.
Lithaladhwen: Well, now you have. If you'd been there you would have known just what I meant.
A Rockin SN: *nods, sighing, as he slightly pulls up his fringe to scratch at his hairline, revealing a horrible scar hidden beneath fringe and hairband*
Lithaladhwen: IM: That's a nice mark he's got there.
Arch mage144: Definitely an interesting bit of vocabulary.
CGNakibe: *files this away for later*
A Rockin SN: Is it safe?
Lithaladhwen: Sure. You could say that.
A Rockin SN: *blinks* What do you mean? It's either safe or isn't..
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Well, safety comes in degrees, you know
Lithaladhwen: Well, it's not technically 'safe,' but I haven't had problems. It's like prison. You make an example of the first guy and no one else bothers you. I'm sure there are other ways of getting by, but that's always worked for me.
T3chn0Namagomi: Good idea, I'd say.
Lithaladhwen: It works well enough for me.
A Rockin SN: *doesn't seem pleasedby the concept, but stays quiet*
Lithaladhwen: What?
Lithaladhwen: What would you do, sir knight?
A Rockin SN: If I had an idea, I'd give you the alternative, ma'am.
Lithaladhwen: Uh huh. You let me know when you think of something.
A Rockin SN: *shrugging* I am not hopeful to finding one.
Arch mage144: ...degrees of safety?
CGNakibe: *looks out towards a window* o.o
CGNakibe: Oh... Excuse me Mister Hakaril, but its getting late.
T3chn0Namagomi: Degrees.
T3chn0Namagomi: Things aren't just "safe" or "unsafe". There are degrees of how "safe" or "unsafe" something is.
CGNakibe: I'll see you later, okay? And maybe if I have money I can pay you back too.
Arch mage144: Okay Solis. Don't worry about paying me back, it's not like I buy anything worthwhile anyway. I might as well feed the starving children of Doma.
OMG Dirty has left the room.
CGNakibe: Alright then, byeee!! *rushes out the door. At least this time he's more careful with his robes*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...9_9
CGNakibe: (Getting a bit tired, and I sense a great disturbance in the force. Or something.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *seems to not care*
Arch mage144: ...there are, are there?
T3chn0Namagomi: There's a difference between someplace where someone might steal a woman's purse, and where someone might try to stab you in your sleep, you know?
Lithaladhwen: *nod* Something about a new female in the area brought out a couple of crazies.
Arch mage144: Yes, yes, I am aware of this. I just wanted to hear you explain it to me.
Lithaladhwen: So, I thought in the spirit of the location, I needed to buy myself an early birthday present. *hefts the kukri*
Lithaladhwen: Till I decide where I'm going to live, this is my new best friend.
Arch mage144: Sounds like a good friend to have.
Lithaladhwen: *draws it... it's shiny*
Lithaladhwen: See? I had to look for one for a good long time. They're a bitch to track down sometimes.
Lithaladhwen: At least, they are here apparently. *shrugs and puts it back*
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah. One of those knives, apparently.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. "One of those knives" is right.
T3chn0Namagomi: Balanced for throwing in addition to use up close.
Lithaladhwen: Not for throwing.
Lithaladhwen: (http://www.heinnie.com/Kukri/KUK-M43.jpg)
A Rockin SN: (oops. :-( )
T3chn0Namagomi: (Actually, IIRC, they can be used as throwing weapons)
Lithaladhwen: (Heavily curved short sword.)
Lithaladhwen: (Who the fuck throws kukri?)
Lithaladhwen: (You'd have to modify it to do that.)
Lithaladhwen: For hacking up intruders and anyone else who invites it.
T3chn0Namagomi: Of course.
Lithaladhwen: Kshama. *smile* Means 'mercy.'
Arch mage144: That's an interesting name for a weapon designed to hack people apart.
Arch mage144: *grins a little*
Lithaladhwen: Yes, it is. I got an inscription put on the blade, too. *draws and shows it to Hakaril*
T3chn0Namagomi: I can see the implications of that name, anyway.
Lithaladhwen: *It says, "En el nombre del dios el compasivo, el merciful." ...in Spanish.*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...The fuck is that writing?
Lithaladhwen: Means, in the name of God, most compassionate and merciful.
T3chn0Namagomi: Common was confusing enough. @_@
Arch mage144: What language is that?
Lithaladhwen: Spanish. I... don't think it's spoken locally here.
T3chn0Namagomi: Something really confusing. That's what.
Arch mage144: I've never heard of it.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, no one needs it around here.
T3chn0Namagomi: Obviously. Unless maybe someone in Argovia knows it...but that's doubtful. Even THAT'S too far-fetched
Lithaladhwen: It's not a problem. Common is no less convenient than any other language.
Lithaladhwen: I just use the Spanish for old times' sake.
Arch mage144: ...why of all the places would you guess Argovia?
A Rockin SN: Perhaps because he guesses there is no such thing in Igala..
T3chn0Namagomi: Exactly.
Arch mage144: I guess that's fair.
T3chn0Namagomi: Argovia's probably the most confusing place I've been, anyway.
Arch mage144: What's so confusing about Argovia?
T3chn0Namagomi: The way a good number of people there act, for one.
Lithaladhwen: What do they do? I'm... considering Argovia.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Check out how the hell the Lanese, for example, act sometime, and then you'll understand what I mean.
Lithaladhwen: Right. You know, depending on one's perspective, anyone who doesn't act like the observer is weird. The question is only whether or not the other people are interesting.
Arch mage144: Elaborate, if you would. I'm not exactly an anthropologist. I don't spend time studying Lanese culture for kicks.
SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: They've got some crazyass "honor" deal going on, mainly.
Lithaladhwen: Well, I might.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, hell. Honor is always fun.
SongstressEnlil: (Who what when where ribbons?)
T3chn0Namagomi: And as far as I know, on top of the whole honor deal, status is apparently heavily based on age
Lithaladhwen: (IH, first gen, Shakti. I can send picture.)
CGNakibe: (*cuts Pervy with ribbons, to express his angst*
A Rockin SN: *calmly* Without honor, you have chaos..
SongstressEnlil: (*Me cuts Shaun to let the pain out*)
Lithaladhwen: With honor, you have other people's standards dictating your feelings and actions.
Arch mage144: Honor?
Lithaladhwen: I'd prefer chaos over that any day. I've had my fill of that other shit.
A Rockin SN: You're presuming you don't agree with the code you follow.
T3chn0Namagomi: I do what I do, not according to what some overimaginative romantic bastard makes up
Lithaladhwen: It's one thing to agree with someone's ideals. It's another to subjugate your own judgment to someone else's standards. Everyone needs to have their own way of doing things. Honor is... counter to that.
Arch mage144: o_O What? Overimaginative romantic judgment?
Arch mage144: *bastard
Arch mage144: *cannot read
Lithaladhwen: I keep promises and shit... but no one tells me what's right or wrong.
Arch mage144: That's pretty fair.
Arch mage144: Pretty much how I operate.
A Rockin SN: *narrowing his eyes* You do not seem to have any idea what you're talking about...
Lithaladhwen: You don't seem to have any idea what the consequences of relinquishing your autonomy can be.
Lithaladhwen: *cold-ass stare*
Arch mage144: IM: Someone is bitter about something. We've found a sore spot here.
T3chn0Namagomi: It's always the crazyasses who come up with complicated rules in order to realize their ideas of a perfect world. To them, self doesn't exist.
Zero has entered the room.
Zero: (Why Hello there, folks!)
A Rockin SN: *returns the stare* Autonomy? I have my autonomy. What you want is to ignore every rule. If no-one had what you consider subjugation, everyone would be jumping at each others' throats.
Zero: (What's shakin'? :U)
Lithaladhwen: I don't ignore every rule. I decide which ones are good and which ones are just people trying to have power over each other.
A Rockin SN: *slowly* Go on..
T3chn0Namagomi: I live my own life. Not one dictated by laws made by people who didn't even earn their own power.
Lithaladhwen: There's no more to it than that. I can't believe you've never encountered corrupt authority executed by well-meaning brainwashed idiots.
Lithaladhwen: It's not uncommon.
Zero: (:D?)
SongstressEnlil: (Ivory horn, first gen. Not sure of the time of day)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Evening)
Zero: (Who should I use?)
A Rockin SN: *calmly* The difference between you and I, ma'am... Is that I have lived under a benevolent King, while you presume every one of them is unworthy of any title or honor.
T3chn0Namagomi: King? Hah. Did he actually earn his status, or was he merely given it upon the death of his parents?
Lithaladhwen: I don't presume they all are. But I don't deny the obvious. Power fucks with your mind.
Lithaladhwen: And I think before I do what anyone else tells me.
A Rockin SN: *smirking* See...
A Rockin SN: That is where you are once again incorrect.
A Rockin SN: Honor calls for the defending of the weak.
Lithaladhwen: For you.
Lithaladhwen: Sometimes honor calls for genocide. Sometimes it calls for torture and death.
Lithaladhwen: All because someone else thought it was necessary.
Lithaladhwen: And the people involved don't stop to think.
Lithaladhwen: *starting to get a little heated now...*
T3chn0Namagomi: Because *mocking tone* "orders are orders".
SongstressEnlil: *A mid-sized man walks into the Ivory Horn, with shoulder length blonde hair and dark, common clothing. He has an odd sort of odor about him, like leather tanning oils.*
A Rockin SN: *shakes his head* Knights gain title, land, money off their sovereigns.
A Rockin SN: When they do not stop to think, it is not because of their "honor".
SongstressEnlil: *He goes to the bar, and orders and orders a cider.*
SongstressEnlil: IM: Hey, it's that guy from the warehouse.
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow, listening with amusement*
Lithaladhwen: You've never met religious nuts.
Lithaladhwen: Obviously.
T3chn0Namagomi: *smirks*
T3chn0Namagomi: If that's true, then...*laughs*
A Rockin SN: Do I say that many people hold their gain over their honor, and use the latter as an excuse for the former?
A Rockin SN: Yes, I do.
SongstressEnlil: IM: Wonder what they're talking about? *sips*
T3chn0Namagomi: But what's the more important thing? The means, or the ends?
SongstressEnlil: *If he catches Kamos' gaze, he raises a cup in a friendly manner*
T3chn0Namagomi: *he does not.*
A Rockin SN: 'tis like you're asking me if you need a sword or a suit of armor more in a battle.
Lithaladhwen: (XD)
Arch mage144: The ends, ultimately.
SongstressEnlil: IM: Focused on that, isn't he?
Arch mage144: You do what you have to do.
T3chn0Namagomi: I will have to agree.
Arch mage144: For once, yeah, we're on the same page.
T3chn0Namagomi: Especially when the means are more efficient.
A Rockin SN: Aye. The ends are important. But some things are not to be done...
A Rockin SN: Peace is important, but if it is gained by fear... What then?
Zero: (OKAY)
Lithaladhwen: *stares down at her lap, rather pissed and tapping the handle of her weapon thoughtfully*
SongstressEnlil: IM: Wonder what he'd think of that arm?
T3chn0Namagomi: Say, the option of killing a significant enemy officer.
T3chn0Namagomi: Or capturing him.
T3chn0Namagomi: The latter, on top of being more "merciful", is also made more complicated in that you cannot bring your all to bear. After all, they have to be kept alive...
Arch mage144: Now hold on a minute.
T3chn0Namagomi: The former is quick, clean, and leaves the enemy minus one commander.
Zero: (Kylitos, Frayvano, Nedicus, Remusire, Keirola)
Arch mage144: If you capture a significant enemy officer you can interrogate him.
Zero: roll -dice1 -sides5
Zero: (>_>)
SongstressEnlil: (Kekeke(
T3chn0Namagomi: (add a // after)
Zero: (Yes, I know, only before.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Er, yeah, before)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 5-sided die: 2
Zero: (My key is stuck by some foul sorcery!)
Lithaladhwen: (There ye go.)
T3chn0Namagomi: You can, but you might also get something off his person regardless.
Arch mage144: Also, there is definitely the strategic possibility of ransom, depending on the nature of the enemy.
Zero: (Like I says, Kai, you can't control me, I do what I want!)
OnlineHost: Zero rolled 1 5-sided die: 2
T3chn0Namagomi: (...XD)
Zero: (And Fray it is!)
Lithaladhwen: (But the dice can. Bitch.)
Arch mage144: ..."something off his person?" Man, in war, I don't kill my enemies so I can take their fucking wallets.
SongstressEnlil: What sort of enemy are we talking about?
Zero: (It had a one in five chance of happening. One in three if you believe in Karma.)
Zero: <FRAY, THE THINKING MAN'S NIGHTMARE!>
A Rockin SN: *calmly* I think the sir has had little experience in battlefield tactics.
T3chn0Namagomi: A sentient one. Obviously.
Arch mage144: (Probability 0 if you don't know anything about statistics)
Arch mage144: ...a sentient one? Killing someone doesn't ever get you any useful information, it gets you a corpse.
SongstressEnlil: Mind if I add my two marks to the deal?
Lithaladhwen: ¬_¬
Zero: (Oh man. You guys are in for it now. Fray's theme just came up on Winamp~!)
T3chn0Namagomi: And it leaves the enemy one officer less
Arch mage144: (Who the hell is that?)
Arch mage144: Well, er, yeah, and so does capturing them.
T3chn0Namagomi: Not true.
T3chn0Namagomi: Unless you kill them immediately after interrogation
Zero: (An emissary from the far off lands of Waxel'ctar.)
SongstressEnlil: IM: Maybe with the Forest creatures. Eh, they aren't interested.
Arch mage144: Explain to me how he's commanding the army from a prision cell?
Lithaladhwen: Interrogation isn't always useful either. Depends on how you do it.
CGNakibe: (Smoke signals!)
Lithaladhwen: People will say a lot of things just to make you happy if you're asking them right.
T3chn0Namagomi: The potential for escape or a rescue mission
SongstressEnlil: (Flags made from his bedsheets!)
T3chn0Namagomi: Leave the enemy no chance.
Arch mage144: Good, then the enemy can waste resources trying to break him out.
CGNakibe: (See, Pervy, that one has actually been done, if memory serves. >.>)
Arch mage144: (I was actually wondering who Pervy was playing)
T3chn0Namagomi: There's the chance that it'll be successful, however
SongstressEnlil: (One Tristan Laevens, I'm fairly certain Hak wouldn't know him)
Arch mage144: Great, they rescue their officer. He's one man. Not really worth the effort in most caes.
Arch mage144: *cases
Zero: *A man enters the IH. His clothing is rather bland, and his muscles fill them out nicely; this fellow ain't no featherweight. His hair, well, is a riot of pastel colors. Pinks, yellows, blues..*
A Rockin SN: *calmly* Depends on who it is.
Arch mage144: If the Valthi school of tactics states that you shouldn't capture people because they might be rescued...
T3chn0Namagomi: Additionally, it wastes resources keeping him alive.
Zero: *Either way, Fray looks around a bit.*
Arch mage144: You shouldn't kill people, either, because they might be raised from the dead.
Zero: (NAMA: Have Kamos and Fray met before? I forgot.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Destroy the corpse.
Arch mage144: Yeah, it's real expensive for a mage to conjure soggy bread for a prisoner for a couple weeks.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Not that I remember)
Zero: (Fair enough.)
CGNakibe: (But why IS the bread soggy, huh?)
Zero: (The oven leaks.)
CGNakibe: (Has it been soaked with the juices of undead flan or something? o.o)
Lithaladhwen: (brb)
Zero: IM: Man, there's never any pretty gals here.
Zero: IM: Just once I'd like to meet someone without having to go somewhere that doesn't serve cheap booze.
SongstressEnlil: (Shaun: You're hoping to breed a slime mould, which the monks can eat without breaking their vows)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...And here I thought I actually thought all magic was to a degree useful.
Zero: (Pervy makes me proud.)
Zero: (And, Pervy, the Slime Mold is a special item.)
SongstressEnlil: (Is it?)
T3chn0Namagomi: I fail to see the point in keeping them alive.
Zero: (You can rename it to anything you want; it is intended to be your favorite food.)
Zero: (My, that Chipotle Burrito was yummy!)
Lithaladhwen: (Hey! Shakti's a pretty gal. She's just moody.)
Zero: *Seats himself, and quickly orders some brandy, along with some pasta!*
SongstressEnlil: (Moodiness gives wrinkles)
Zero: (It's true.)
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah, and a woman's uterus gives her hysteria.)
Lithaladhwen: (So much for causality)
Zero: *Yaaaaaawns. Looks around again, to see if anyone notices he didn't cover his mouth.*
Lithaladhwen: *didn't*
Zero: The perfect crime.
T3chn0Namagomi: *If he did, didn't care*
Lithaladhwen: *taps the handle some more. tap...tap... taptaptap*
Lithaladhwen: *goes to grab her books and quickly comes back*
Lithaladhwen: *sits once again in silence*
SongstressEnlil: *Has a bit more cider, watching the conversation*
A Rockin SN: *chuckling* Hopefully, none of us will be in a situation to apply these conversations to facts.
T3chn0Namagomi: *shrug*
SongstressEnlil: IM: And there's the right answer.
Zero: (Who would like to RP a server, for Mr. Fray? :-( )
SongstressEnlil: (Got plans?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (RP him yourself)
Zero: (Oh~~)
Zero: (Why would I ask someone else to if doing it myself would be quality?)
Arch mage144: (There we go, plumbing crisis averted!)
Lithaladhwen: (Because this is a CIRP and if you want something you get it for yourself!)
T3chn0Namagomi: Bah. I'll make the decision if I come to it.
Zero: (Yes yes, I know :-( But RPing NPCs in CIs is not unheard of at all.)
Zero: (In fact, many characters spring from NPC status into the pantheon of RPGWW characters.)
Zero: (It's a time-honored tradition.)
Zero: (Why, take Ninja Ned; he was once but a humble tailor.)
Zero: (Now he's a very un-humble one.)
Lithaladhwen: (I have a character sheet for an NPC at www.yahoo.com/dontbefuckinglazy You should use that one.)
Arch mage144: (Fine, I'll RP your server)
Arch mage144: (Is he seated at a table or the bar?)
Zero: (El table.)
Lithaladhwen: ...There's nothing wrong with trying to find out what someone else knows. But... there will always be limis to how far I'd be willing to go with it.
Lithaladhwen: I mean, practically speaking, people will say all kinds of bogus shit if you're torturing them for example.
Lithaladhwen: That's hardly efficient.
Arch mage144: *a tall, dark-haired celestial with enormous white wings dressed in loose-fitting white clothing adorned with silver threads steps over to Fray's table*
A Rockin SN: Few people apply to the standards of heroism you speak of... Though it's not unheard of.
Zero: Ah yes, you have pasta, right?
Arch mage144: Hello sir! o.o Can I get you something? Our specials today include braised chocobo flank served with...oh, we have pasta, yes!
SongstressEnlil: IM: Someone's never been tortured.
Zero: I'll have a plate of it; with garlic bread on the side, please~!
Arch mage144: Is there a specific kind of pasta you would prefer o.o? And what kind of sauce?
Lithaladhwen: What do you mean, few people apply?
Zero: Whatever you've got; and whatever sort of blue cheese sauce you've got lying around.
A Rockin SN: Think about it.
A Rockin SN: You're in pain. You're captured. You're at their mercy.
Lithaladhwen: *narrows her eyes*
Lithaladhwen: I'm thinking about it. Thanks.
A Rockin SN: You know that if they find out you're lying... *sighs*
A Rockin SN: If they find out you're lying, it's death.
Lithaladhwen: Still thinking about it.
T3chn0Namagomi: Bah.
Lithaladhwen: You're speaking from pure ignorance.
T3chn0Namagomi: There's no reason to treat your enemies like you want them to treat you. You're trying to kill each other anyway
A Rockin SN: IM: Am I now..?
Lithaladhwen: *glares daggers at Kamos*
Lithaladhwen: *and at Loen*
Arch mage144: Bleu cheese? o.o Um...okay, I can make sure we have that. And I guess that that means that spiced tomato sauce is acceptable?
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm surrounded by naive ignorant stupid fucks.
Arch mage144: Do you want the bleu cheese dressing on the side? o.o
Zero: No tomato sauce please; just the cheese sauce on the pasta.
Zero: ^_^
Arch mage144: I dunno. It depends what kind of enemy we're talking about.
A Rockin SN: *with a gesture* Tell me, then, ma'am, what experience has taught you..
Lithaladhwen: Fuck you.
Arch mage144: Oh, I see!
A Rockin SN: *simply shrugs*
SongstressEnlil: *Arches an eyebrow*
Arch mage144: o.o Okay. Let me put that in for you. It should only be a few minutes! *bows slightly and runs off*
Zero: *Nods!*
Zero: >_>
Lithaladhwen: Fuck you and your naive bullshit.
Zero: Excuse me, *To Shakti* I'd like for my dining experience to be free of, well, unpleasant-ness.
Arch mage144: *glances over at Fray*
Zero: It's not often these days I can afford a wholesome meal.
Lithaladhwen: *slowly turns* Excuse me?
Arch mage144: What the hell are you talking about?
Lithaladhwen: While I'm at it, fuck you too.
T3chn0Namagomi: *smirks*
Arch mage144: *starts laughing his ass off*
Zero: *Shrug*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then laughs*
Arch mage144: Shakti, your approach to the world is entertaining.
Zero: IM: Man, you'd get a salt-shaker thrown at you for that sort of stuff back home.
Lithaladhwen: *sweeping gesture to the people who are pissing her off* What? They're being dicks!
T3chn0Namagomi: Get used to it. People are dicks
T3chn0Namagomi: They come in different varieties, but they're all dicks
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well. Preaching to the choir.
SongstressEnlil: IM: Sometimes, I wonder if every nation could do with the Black Forest on their borders..
A Rockin SN: (Veldrin: I got a teapot thrown at me for the sort of stuff...)
SongstressEnlil: (Fuzzy Mother: I would have thrown my plate, too!)
Arch mage144: Wow. This is totally worth the price of admission.
Zero: >_>
Lithaladhwen: *small laugh* Yeah. Something like that.
A Rockin SN: *having lost all interest* I suppose.
A Rockin SN: IM: How ... base.
A Rockin SN: IM: I thought better of them.
Zero: *Yawns again, covering his mouth.*
Arch mage144: *runs out with a big platter of noodles covered in bleu cheese dressing*
Zero: Yay! Thank you!
Zero: Wait, also, could I get some crushed red pepper?
Arch mage144: *sets it down at Fray's table* Here you go, sir! o.o Enjoy. Um, I can go see if we have any. We should. Just a moment. *nods, runs off*
Arch mage144: *returns a minute or two later with a spice grinder-style shaker and presents it to Fray* Here you are, sir.
Lithaladhwen: *stares at the floor, too pissed to look at people at the moment*
SongstressEnlil: *To Riss'ar* Hey, can I get another cider?
A Rockin SN: IM: Hrm...
SongstressEnlil: (Did I get the apostrophe right?)
Arch mage144: Uh, yes sir! o.o Just give me a moment and I can bring it right over.
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
SongstressEnlil: (Woo!)
Arch mage144: *goes back behind the counter, pours a drink, runs it out to the customer*
SongstressEnlil: Thank you muchly.
SongstressEnlil: *Tosses an extra gil to Riss'ar*
Arch mage144: *bows slightly* Of course, sir. Thank you, sir. o.o *heads back to the bar, picks up a mug and a towel, and proceeds to wipe the glass thoroughly*
Zero: <_<
Zero: Thanks!
Arch mage144: *wipe, wipe* You are most welcome, sir! o.o *wipe, wipe*
Zero: *Grinds the peppers onto his pasta, and begins to eat!*
SongstressEnlil: IM: You know... naw, not now.
Zero: IM: Delicious!
A Rockin SN: *a slight smirk appears on his face* IM: No experience, huh.
SongstressEnlil: Hey, barman? Got a minute?
Arch mage144: Yes, sir, can I help you? o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Hah. Naive? Calling a mercenary naive. How amusing.
SongstressEnlil: Mind if I ask how you wound up here? I'm wondering, you know?.
Lithaladhwen: *flinches briefly and her hand goes straight to her kukri before she relaxes just as abruptly*
Arch mage144: ...um...normally I serve customers drinks, not tell them stories. o.o But I guess, since we aren't busy.
SongstressEnlil: Heh. Where I come from, barmen and storytellers tend to be one and the same.
Arch mage144: Well, sometimes. o.o Anyway, um, I'm a celestial. I guess you noticed.
SongstressEnlil: I thought so. *Grin* Only in Doma, huh?
Arch mage144: I used to live in the celestial realms, but I did something wrong, so I fell. *looks down* But I atoned!
Arch mage144: And now I work as a bartender! o.o
SongstressEnlil: *Blinks*
SongstressEnlil: What'd you do before you atoned?
Arch mage144: Oh, um...I accidentally killed another celestial. o.o We were playing a game.
Zero: >_>
SongstressEnlil: Not what I meant. But...*seems to fumble for a word, then gives up* Don't know what to tell you.
Arch mage144: But it wasn't my fault! I was possessed by an evil spirit!
SongstressEnlil: *Nods* Happens.
Zero: IM: Wow. "Tag, you're it!" "Ack, I'm falling!" <Splat>
Zero: *Continues eating, chewing thoughtfully.*
Arch mage144: Yeah. o.o Oh! You mean "what was my job in the celestial world?"
SongstressEnlil: *Nods*
Zero: IM: Oh shit, what if he can hear me?
Zero: IM: This is good pasta, this is good pasta, this is good pasta.
Arch mage144: Oh. I was a guard. It was a very important job. I think.
SongstressEnlil: (AHAHAH)
Lithaladhwen: ("Life is wonderful, life is wonderful, life is wonderful...")
Arch mage144: Or it was for a while. They let me guard an important temple!
T3chn0Namagomi: (Kamos: Bullshit.)
Arch mage144: It was a promotion. I used to guard a shrub. *blinks*
SongstressEnlil: Shrub?
Zero: IM: You know, this is really a bit too spicy...well, only in the sense that I'd need more drink to wash it down with...but he's busy with the story..
Arch mage144: Yes. o.o
SongstressEnlil: Was it special?
Arch mage144: It might have been. o.o
Zero: IM: Hey, can you could probably talk while getting me another brandy, couldn't you?
SongstressEnlil: *Blinks, then chuckles a bit*
CGNakibe has left the room.
SongstressEnlil: IM: And I thought I had bad luck.
A Rockin SN: *watches Shakti's expression, his seeming to flicker to and from complete detachment*
Lithaladhwen: *stares at the floor, more or less blankly*
SongstressEnlil: Thanks for telling me all that, it would have been on my mind for weeks.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos, wordlessly, gets up and starts to walk out of the inn*
A Rockin SN: *finally sighs, and whispers*
A Rockin SN: *w* Listen, if this troubles you so much, we'll stop. Change subject.
Lithaladhwen: *snaps out of it finally* What?
Zero: *Begins in on the garlic bread!*
Lithaladhwen: *waves curtly to Kamos*
Zero: IM: So good. Truly the seasoning of the Gods, garlic is.
Lithaladhwen: (YES IT IS)
Zero: IM: Er, no offense meant, Mr. Server.
Arch mage144: Oh, um, no problem. o.o
Zero: *Grins to the server and gives a thumbs up!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *puts up a hand in a gesture as to say goodbye, without waving. Or having to turn back*
A Rockin SN: *raises an eyebrow* Are you quite all right?
Arch mage144: *looks over at Fray*
Arch mage144: *returns gesture!*
SongstressEnlil: *Moment of silence* Well, I guess I can't complain much about my life. I've lost friends and stuff, yeah. But never like you did.
Arch mage144: I have lots of friends!
Lithaladhwen: ....Yes. What's it to you.
Lithaladhwen: You pissed me off, that's all.
SongstressEnlil: I bet you do. Hey, what's you're name, anyways?
Lithaladhwen: *expression of bitchness beginning to return as she comes back to reality*
Arch mage144: Riss'ar, sir.
SongstressEnlil: Tristan Laevens. *Offers a handshake across the bar*
A Rockin SN: *simply* It's nothing. That's why I'm asking, ma'am.
Lithaladhwen: e_e
Lithaladhwen: Whatever.
A Rockin SN: IM: Thank you for summarizing my true feelings on this, ma'am.
Zero: *Yawn.*
Zero: >_>
Arch mage144: *shakes*
SongstressEnlil: *Riss'ar may note Tristan's sleeve dips into a bit of spilled booze on the bar whilst shaking* You've brightened up my evening, you know. Really.
Arch mage144: Um, certainly. o.o Thank you!
SongstressEnlil: One of those days, you know. The kind where you look back and wonder if you didn't royally screw up somewhere.
Arch mage144: I see...
Zero: >_>
SongstressEnlil: Eh, I'm going on and *sets his arm on the bar* Ah dammit! *Checks it to see the soaking*
A Rockin SN: *stands up calmly*
A Rockin SN: *bows before Shakti, though doesn't say a word*
Lithaladhwen: *questioning glance*
A Rockin SN: I figure my departure has been long overdue.
Lithaladhwen: Well, thanks for sharing earlier.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Sorry you're a dumbass.
Zero: *Finishes his meal.*
Arch mage144: You seem to be getting your sleeve wet, sir.
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
Zero: IM: That was perfect.
Arch mage144: *wipes off the counter with his towel*
SongstressEnlil: Yeah, I saw.
SongstressEnlil: That's how it is sometimes, isn't it?
A Rockin SN: Don't worry about it. IM: What a waste of time. I suppose not all Domans are this base and pathetic, at least..
Arch mage144: Occasionally, yes. o.o People get wet.
Lithaladhwen: *flips open a book and apparently ceases paying attention to Loen*
A Rockin SN: *turns around, and drops a few gil on the table, obviously more than what he has bought so far.
Lithaladhwen: IM: self-righteous jackass....
SongstressEnlil: Eh, I think that's just fate telling me it's time to go home and change clothes.
A Rockin SN: Sir? *to Riss'ar* The rest is for you.
A Rockin SN: *turns around and walks out of the IH without a word*
Zero: IM: Well, this place is clearing out fast.
Lithaladhwen: *flips pages irritatedly*
SongstressEnlil: *Drops some more coins on the bar, and heads out. Friendly, but most prefunctionary nods to all*
A Rockin SN: *sets his horse to a trot, and off he goes!*
Zero: I may as well be going now too. Could I get a small bottle of brandy to go?
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow* Wow, Riss'ar, you're really raking in the tips tonight.
Arch mage144: *beams a bit*
Arch mage144: Yeah. That's a good sign, I guess.
Lithaladhwen: *opens her second book and begins comparing the two*
Lithaladhwen: *rapid page flips*
Lithaladhwen: *disgusted sigh*
Arch mage144: So. What're you reading?
Lithaladhwen: Some of my brother's notes. Stuff he wrote when he first got here.
Lithaladhwen: Figured I should familiarize myself with at least some of it.
Arch mage144: Aha. Who's your brother?
Lithaladhwen: *sudden smirk* Call himself Cardinal. You know him?
Arch mage144: You're related to Cardinal o_O?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah I am.
Lithaladhwen: Remember what I said about the gypsies earlier? That was him. I've had an interesting several days.
Arch mage144: I bet. Gypsies and Cardinal. And marriage, I heard.
Arch mage144: To gypsies, no less.
Lithaladhwen: Yes. The bride is an absolute delight. e_e
Arch mage144: Oh?
Lithaladhwen: Her family's not so bad. She's a pain in the ass.
Arch mage144: Aha.
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* He's the one who has to be married to her, not me. Which is good.
Lithaladhwen: She and I barely survive each other's company as it is.
Arch mage144: I somehow doubted you were going to spontaneously decide to marry her.
Arch mage144: Especially if she's already married to Cardinal.
Arch mage144: He and I haven't really spent a whole lot of time talking, but he works at the castle, so I keep an eye on him. In passing.
Lithaladhwen: I don't know that he's been around the castle as much during this whole... thing. Busy with the wife and the inlaws and the goat.
Arch mage144: The what?
Arch mage144: The goat?
Lithaladhwen: Goat. Name's Apuro.
Lithaladhwen: In Spanish it means 'trouble.'
Arch mage144: Part of the family, I see?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. Though I like the goat most of the time.
Lithaladhwen: Not nearly so bad as the woman.
Arch mage144: I imagine that the goat is relatively inoffensive.
Arch mage144: I have never met an offensive goat.
SongstressEnlil has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, but these *gestures to the books* are some of his notes. I've only been here a little while, so it's good to have what amounts to a tour guide before I need to go anywhere or talk to anyone.
Zero: (Adios, folks!)
Lithaladhwen: (Adios, cowboy.)
Zero has left the room.
Arch mage144: o_o His notes?
Arch mage144: What did he take notes on, and why? He's an offworlder too, isn't he...
Lithaladhwen: Yeah... he just made some observations that are useful to me right now. Where stuff is, how to get things done... after all. I have to accomplish a lot of the same things he dealt with when he first arrived.
Lithaladhwen: Acquiring money, lodging, potential employment, whatever.
Lithaladhwen: Course, I'm under a little less pressure than he was, so I've got time.
Arch mage144: What kind of pressure was he under? *curious*
Lithaladhwen: Eh. He needed to be here. I don't. I'm just here because he's insane and elopes with gypsies whenever he's unsupervised, apparently.
Arch mage144: That's...an interesing reason to follow him around the cosmos.
Arch mage144: Then again, I've never felt the need to pursue a relative cross-dimensionally for any purpose.
Lithaladhwen: Heh. It can be a pain in the ass. I needed to go somewhere else anyway. Place where I was... sucked.
Lithaladhwen: I mean, it suited me for a while, but you can only blow stuff up and keep order by scaring the hell out of people for so long before it gets unfulfilling.
Lithaladhwen: Wasn't for me. So I came to meet the inlaws.
Arch mage144: o_o Heh. The in-laws. I imagine mine are much more terrifying than yours.
Lithaladhwen: Probably. The extended family, like I said, not that bad.
Lithaladhwen: I've always gotten along with the gypsies I've met. I'm not kidding. It's just the woman he married that I don't like.
Arch mage144: I honestly don't know many gypsies.
Arch mage144: Or any, really. *raises an eyebrow*
Lithaladhwen: Depends on the family. Some are insane in a bad way, some in the good way. Most of them are insane, though. Just a little.
OMG Priam has entered the room.
Arch mage144: Right.
Lithaladhwen: (Yo.)
OMG Priam: (what up)
Lithaladhwen: (Shakti and Hakaril are chilling in the Ivory Horn)
Arch mage144: (Other characters are welcome to come in, and if you need one of us to play someone else, we might just do it!)
Lithaladhwen: (We totally might!!)
OMG Priam: (holy crap!)
OMG Priam: <Kurt>
THENinjaRabbi has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Hiya.)
THENinjaRabbi: (Howdy ho.)
OMG Priam: *enters, limping, his arm in a cast*
Lithaladhwen: What's great is that my brother keeps inviting me to dinner with them.
Lithaladhwen: *looks up*
Lithaladhwen: ...What the hell happened to you?
Arch mage144: (Peoples!)
Arch mage144: He invites yo...damn, are you alright?
OMG Priam: Oh, I'll be fine. I...just learned to respect certain opinions on artifice safety.
Arch mage144: o_O What'd you do?
Lithaladhwen: ...Great. Learning is awesome.
OMG Priam: It's a very long story. General Silvar, wasn't it?
Arch mage144: Yes. You're Kurt, right? The inventor? I believe you and I made an interesting deal a while ago involving a lot of mythril chickens.
OMG Priam: Indeed. How did that go, by the by?
Lithaladhwen: ...IM: not going to ask. I'm sure I don't want to know.
Arch mage144: Well, we certainly got a lot of raw materials out of the deal. I believe we shipped some of them to your residence.
OMG Priam: Er. My....residence? I should hope you did not ask for my locale based on my name.
Lithaladhwen: Hm. I think... *stands up* that I should probably head out. Nice meeting you, Silvar.
Lithaladhwen: And you... hope you feel better soon or something.
OMG Priam: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
Lithaladhwen: Nah, s'fine. I have to do a thing.
OMG Priam: All right, you go...and do that...thing.
OMG Priam: It was nice meeting you.
Arch mage144: Ah, see you later, Shakti.
Arch mage144: ...
Arch mage144: IM: How vague.
Lithaladhwen: Seeya. *grabs her books, and heads out the door, nearly colliding with some rather large animal making its way in*
Lithaladhwen: 6_6 Oh, what the fuck ever.
Lithaladhwen: *walks out*
OMG Priam: ...
Arch mage144: o_o
Lithaladhwen: *a badger pushes through the doorway, pulling a rather irritated blonde woman behind him*
OMG Priam: That....is a rather large animal.
Lithaladhwen: *This is a badger the two men have seen before, though he's much bigger than he was when Kurt last saw him.*
OMG Priam: *vastly!*
Arch mage144: o_o Hey, it's Tassi! She comes in badger first, as usual.
OMG Priam: That is.....well, it IS Tassi!
Lithaladhwen: As usual. Good evening. Sorry about Pele. He... has etiquette problems.
Lithaladhwen: Hello, Kurt. *look of disapproval and concern*
Lithaladhwen: What did you do?
OMG Priam: Good evening to you, as well.
OMG Priam: Oh, Milo taught me proper appreciation of safety procedures.
Arch mage144: He's a badger. Not exactly known for etiquette.
Arch mage144: So, Milo blew something up?
Lithaladhwen: *sigh*
OMG Priam: Not so much as I turned the wrong thing and broke some heavy machinery's fall.
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *digs at Kurt's foot curiously*
Arch mage144: Oh. That's not good. Sounds excruciating.
Arch mage144: So, how's Darin, Tassi?
OMG Priam: Mightily!
Lithaladhwen: He's... fine. Kurt do you need some help with that?
Lithaladhwen: Just because I'm not living with you doesn't mean I can't still help out.
OMG Priam: No, I'm fine, as you can see I've already had the Healers' assistance, on an official basis.
Arch mage144: I imagine you've been seeing more of him than I have. He seems rather busy lately. With things that have nothing to do with the things I ask him to do.
Lithaladhwen: On an official basis? *pointedly ignoring Hakaril* You know, sometimes unofficial healing is helpful as well.
Arch mage144: You are a master of changing the subject. *grins*
Lithaladhwen: Yes I am.
Lithaladhwen: Now, do you want my help or not?
Lithaladhwen: *frowns at Kurt*
Arch mage144: *laughing*
Arch mage144: *evidently finds the whole situation profoundly humorous*
Arch mage144: *and who should come in, just a few moments later...*
Lithaladhwen: (Das Bish!)
OMG Priam: Oh, if you insist, I don't suppose any extra could harm. Though I think right now I might more appreciate you doing the legwork of getting me a brew.
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *barrels over to the doorway*
Arch mage144: -.- Oh, hello Hakaril...
Lithaladhwen: Darin. *smile* Pele.... come over here.
Arch mage144: Hey, Darin! I was just asking about you a minute ago. You've been a little preoccupied lately, haven't you?
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *delighted snuffling of Darin*
Lithaladhwen: IM: General Silvar's distracted.
Lithaladhwen: I'm not going to intoxicate you. But I can help you out with whatever injuries are left.
Lithaladhwen: (Priam, you want to roll for this?)
OMG Priam: (You go for it. I'm not feeling the rhythm today.)
Lithaladhwen: (I have no urge to roll for it. The question should have been "Do you care if it is rolled?")
OMG Priam: (Sure, go for it.)
Lithaladhwen: (That is an unhelpful answer.)
OMG Priam: I suppose that will do.
OMG Priam: (ROLL IT, YOU)
Lithaladhwen: (Roll what? I need a system!)
OMG Priam: (You're the one that asked if it should be rolled!)
Lithaladhwen: (I'm not rolling it.)
OMG Priam: (I am so lost ;_;-)
Lithaladhwen: (There is to be no rolling.)
OMG Priam: (The lack of rolling is profound and poetic.)
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow*
Lithaladhwen: *inspects Kurt a bit before setting about the reason for her existence. Kurt totally feels better. In fact, that cast probably isn't necessary at this point.*
Lithaladhwen: There. Now go have yourself a drink.
Lithaladhwen: *sits and attempts to pull Pele back from his good ol' pal Darin*
Lithaladhwen: *largely fails*
OMG Priam: Don't have to tell me twice. *heaves himself up, and realizes he doesn't have to limp anymore, as he strides up to the bar and has some reparte` with the barkeep*
Arch mage144: *looks down at Pele*
Arch mage144: Pele...if you could...give me some space...please...
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *tries to burrow into Darin's pant leg*
Lithaladhwen: *drags Pele away a few inches, but not much more* I'm sorry. I don't know why he acts like this sometimes.
Arch mage144: He...largely cannot help it, I imagine...instinctive affection, I suppose...
Lithaladhwen: *sighs and gets up, releasing Pele just long enough for him to reach Darin again*
Lithaladhwen: *picks up Pele around the middle of his body and, with some effort, lifts the animal off the floor*
Lithaladhwen: I... cannot... keep doing this. You are... too heavy, Pele!
Lithaladhwen: *sigh*
Arch mage144: (She's talking like Darin!)
Lithaladhwen: (She's lifting a badger. What's his excuse?)
OMG Priam: (Or Shatner!)
Lithaladhwen: (Or his?)
Arch mage144: *just stares*
Arch mage144: Wow, you're stronger than you look.
Lithaladhwen: *shifty glance to Hakaril*
Lithaladhwen: *hands the badger off to him*
Lithaladhwen: Here, then. You take him.
Lithaladhwen: I'm sure he'll love you.
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *face sniff*
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *places a paw on Hakaril's face curiously*
Arch mage144: >.O
Arch mage144: Um...>.O *pushes Pele out of his face*
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *insists*
Lithaladhwen: Sorry about that, Darin. He's... not like that with most people. I think he likes you.
Arch mage144: ...hi, Pele.
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *grawrp*
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *sniff*
Arch mage144: >.O;;
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *jumps off Hakaril's lap and rolls on over to Kurt to see what he's up to*
Arch mage144: It is...rather unusual for a creature to...be so taken with me.
Lithaladhwen: ^_^ I don't think so.
OMG Priam: *turns around, mug in hand, and trips over the badger, spilling his drink all over the floor and damaging various body parts*
OMG Priam: *WHUMP*
Lithaladhwen: I think that Pele must be a good judge of character, that's all.
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *is irritated and bites Kurt's pant leg and pulls him a few inches*
Arch mage144: I...see.
Arch mage144: Sir...are you alright?
Lithaladhwen: Pele: -V-
Lithaladhwen: Pele!
OMG Priam: *doesn't even bother heaving himself up off the floor for now* You know, this fall was at least much more comfortable than the last one I had...
Lithaladhwen: I swear, he's going to drive me to drink.
Arch mage144: You mean you don't?
Lithaladhwen: I mean to an unhealthy degree.
Arch mage144: *offers Milo a hand*
Arch mage144: Oh, right. I used to do that a lot more often than I do now. Had to give it up. Got married.
Lithaladhwen: I enjoy my whiskey as much as anyone else, but Pele tests my powers of moderation.
OMG Priam: *Kurt flips over, and accepts the hand, straining as he ascends.*
Lithaladhwen: *leans down and snaps her fingers at the badger, who reluctantly releases Kurt*
Arch mage144: Ah, yes, I'll never forget my first experience with good Rivan whiskey. Aged 30 years, if I remember correctly.
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *sits on Kurt's foot*
Arch mage144: The rest of the evening may be a blur, but I'll never forget the first glass.
Lithaladhwen: Pele: -V-
Lithaladhwen: Well, the first glass is usually the most important.
Arch mage144: *sits down on a stool, looking slightly cheerier than usual*
Arch mage144: *he's not grinning like a madman or anything, but there's a very faint smile on Darin's face for once*
Lithaladhwen: Hm. Now you've got me thinking about it. *orders a whiskey and seats herself next to Darin*
OMG Priam: *pulls his foot out from under Pele, and walks over to sit next to General Silvar
OMG Priam: *
Lithaladhwen: Darin, do you want anything?
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *marches over and digs at the top of Kurt's foot. It kind of hurts.*
DarkLordKelne has left the room.
OMG Priam: ...*kicks, just a little, to get the point across*
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *chews Kurt's chair leg*
Lithaladhwen: *notices that property damage is impending* Pele, stop!
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *reluctantly stops, going back to harass Silvar*
Arch mage144: Oh, no...I am fine.
Arch mage144: ......
Lithaladhwen: Are you sure? All right.
Arch mage144: IM: This badger is driving me nuts. 6_6
Arch mage144: IM: I am very tempted to do something drastic.
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *sits down quietly for once and placidly sniffs Hakaril's pant leg*
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *flattens himself out on the floor and chills for a while*
Arch mage144: *sighs heavily*
Arch mage144: Of course...I am fine.
Arch mage144: I do not need...anything to drink.
Lithaladhwen: *sip*
OMG Priam: Right, so, General. What was that about the materials?
Arch mage144: Well, I still have a comparably large supply of mythril on hand. You think you can use it for anything?
Arch mage144: I had some of it delivered to my father, since he's a blacksmith, but I figured I'd keep some for more local usage.
OMG Priam: Certainly. I'm just hoping that the batch you mentioned sending out did not go to my former land of residence by mistake, mind you.
Arch mage144: Er, it might have. What land of residence would that be?
Arch mage144: It's been a while. I forgot.
OMG Priam: A territory on the outskirts of Baronian lands. I used to have some influence in there, but those days are past.
Arch mage144: Yeah, I would remember sending something to Baron. It definitely didn't go there.
Arch mage144: I thought you had a workshop locally?
OMG Priam: I do.
OMG Priam: ....well, actually, now that you mention it....I guess that's why Milo was so uncharacteristically exuberant those weeks ago.
Arch mage144: Ah, good. So it did get there.
Lithaladhwen: How is Milo? I haven't spoken with him in a while.
OMG Priam: Oh, as jovial as ever. You know how he is when he is working.
Lithaladhwen: I do. Good to know he has mythril to play with.
OMG Priam: Indeed. I wasn't aware we had a furnace capable of working such a metal--it seems Milo is more prepared than I give him credit for.
Arch mage144: Sometimes, our friends surprise us more than anyone else.
Lithaladhwen: He doesn't seem above improvising if he's got something interesting enough in mind.
Arch mage144: It does happen that way sometimes...
Arch mage144: People...find ways to continue...surprising each other.
OMG Priam: Indeed they do.
Lithaladhwen: *smiles at Darin*
OMG Priam: (I am sorely tempted to bring him in right now, because everyone else is playing two characters.)
Lithaladhwen: (I'm not!)
OMG Priam: (One and a half, I guess, with the badger.)
OMG Priam: (El Badger)
Arch mage144: So...
Arch mage144: When're you two getting married?
OMG Priam: >_>
Lithaladhwen: *takes a drink*
OMG Priam: You're getting married?
Lithaladhwen: General...
Arch mage144: *turns the color of beets*
Arch mage144: Um...I do not think...that...that is...we are...getting married...
Lithaladhwen: *takes a drink*
OMG Priam: Well, if you are, congratulations.
Arch mage144: Never?
Lithaladhwen: Let's try this again. General. Marriage is... not on the agenda at the moment.
OMG Priam: If not, then, er. Happy Birthday, perhaps.
Arch mage144: Oh...well...I...did not say...that is...er...I had not considered...but I mean...Miss Tassi is...I have not...we are not...um...
Arch mage144: Alright, alright, not getting married.
OMG Priam: It is someone's birthday, presumably, though.
Arch mage144: Somewhere, Kurt. Somewhere.
Arch mage144: Not mine.
OMG Priam: Mine neither >_>
Arch mage144: Why not?
Lithaladhwen: *lays a hand on Darin's arm* In all seriousness, General. What kind of question is that?
Arch mage144: The kind I ask my bachelor guy friend who used to be my roommate at the Academy.
Arch mage144: Especially when he's never dated anyone before.
Arch mage144: ......
OMG Priam: ....
Lithaladhwen: *glance at Darin* Well....
Arch mage144: ...*looks at Tassi like he has absolutely no speaking capacity*
Lithaladhwen: IM: It's true what they say about married people. Did I do this when I was married?
Arch mage144: I think it's a fair question, anyway.
Arch mage144: I could ask far more personal questions.
Arch mage144: I usually do. *grin*
Lithaladhwen: I'm.... it's.... good to know that you're interested. And... yes. You could.
Lithaladhwen: It's good of you not to.
Lithaladhwen: *blush plus embarassed smile*
Arch mage144: Hakaril...you...are very eccentric sometimes.
OMG Priam: *A figure in a distinct purple-and-silver cloak strides in, closing the door quietly behind him.*
Arch mage144: It's been suggested.
Arch mage144: (A distinct cloaked figure!)
OMG Priam: Not many men smelt chickens, I think.
OMG Priam: Especially ones garnered from a shoe closet.
OMG Priam: *Anion notices General Silvar, and briefly salutes him before going directly to the bar.*
Arch mage144: Oh, look. It's Anion!
Arch mage144: It was my wardrobe, in all fairness.
Lithaladhwen: *grabs Pele's leash immediately, but the badger seems more intent on sleeping at the moment*
Lithaladhwen: *sigh of relief*
OMG Priam: Mm, close enough.
Arch mage144: I was trying to re-tune my dimensional portal to a more suitable frequency. I'm actually writing a book about what I'm calling "brute force planeswalking."
OMG Priam: That sounds both intriguing and potentially disastrous.
OMG Priam: Possibly the former on account of the latter.
Arch mage144: The general idea is that since there are a theoretically infinite number of alternate planes to explore that if you just cautiously sweep across various bands of astral energy you can hypothetically find an infinite number of them.
Arch mage144: And, therefore, travel to them, if they look interesting.
Lithaladhwen: I see... *shrug* Well, be careful.
Arch mage144: Usually, you keep up wards to prevent things from coming out at you.
Arch mage144: Due to a spectacular miscalculation, all of my failsafes went haywire. That was when the chickens showed up.
Arch mage144: I have not, unfortunately, been able to find that plane again. I have no choice but to consider it a freak accident.
OMG Priam: A moderately happy one, nonetheless.
Arch mage144: Oh yes.
Lithaladhwen: (I love cake. I want some.)
OMG Priam: (GO, AND QUEST FOR YOUR CAKE)
Lithaladhwen: Good luck, then.
Lithaladhwen: I hope you find planes that are at least as interesting as that one.
Lithaladhwen: (I can't. T_T )
Arch mage144: Given the infinite nature of the universe, I imagine I will.
Arch mage144: There was that plane of cotton, after all. With the awful music. And the total inability to see.
Arch mage144: In any case, I think I need to return to the castle. Vixxy said something about cooking a traditional demonic dish that I've never had before, and I'm curious to see what that's going to turn out to be.
Lithaladhwen: *blink*
Lithaladhwen: Good luck with that as well.
Arch mage144: I think it might contain some bizarre variety of netherworld jellyfish.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Arch mage144: I trust she'll make it appetizing somehow.
Lithaladhwen: I'm sure it will be splendid.
Arch mage144: Let's hope so.
OMG Priam: .....
Lithaladhwen: It was good to see you again, General.
Lithaladhwen: Sorry about my badger.
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *grumbles a little*
Arch mage144: Until later, Kurt, Tassi, Darin...and Anion, who is pretending not to be social. *wave*
Lithaladhwen: Pele: *slight snore*
Arch mage144: Your badger is forgiven.
Lithaladhwen: *smiles and waves back*
Arch mage144: *bows slightly, tipping his hat, and walks out*
Arch mage144: (I am le tired!)
Lithaladhwen: (I am le tired as well.)
Lithaladhwen: I should probably feed Pele as well. It's dinnertime for him, too. Well, closer to breakfast really. The point is, the poor thing needs to eat.
Lithaladhwen: *picks up Pele, who doesn't resist this time, but does smell her fingers for food*
Lithaladhwen: See, he knows.
Arch mage144: He is...quite perceptive.
OMG Priam: Indeed.
Lithaladhwen: *shifts the badger over to one shoulder like a small child* Kurt, it was good to see you. Send my regards to Milo
OMG Priam: I will. It was good to see you again as well.
Lithaladhwen: *turns to Darin* I'm sorry to leave just as you've gotten here, but he gets temperamental when he's hungry.
Arch mage144: If...if it is no imposition...I might come along with you, perhaps...
Lithaladhwen: IM: He learns very quickly.
Lithaladhwen: I'd love that.
Arch mage144: Oh...well, then...I shall do that. Where are we going?
Lithaladhwen: I'm just going to head back to the temple for now. You're more than welcome to come along. I'm sure a couple of the girls would love to meet you.
Arch mage144: *blinks slowly*
Lithaladhwen: *heads to the door* They're just friends of mine. They won't bite. *smile*
Arch mage144: Certainly...it would be nice...to meet the others at the temple.
Arch mage144: *follows after Tassi, nodding politely to Kurt*
Lithaladhwen: </Tassi and Pele>
Arch mage144: (Yarr. I go! *dead tired*)
Arch mage144: </Hak, Darin, RP, Brain>
