You have just entered room "bazookablackpudding."
NYClark2 has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
FFFan80 has entered the room.
Idran1701 has entered the room.
NYClark2: (( Is this like bazooka gum? ))
Syra Zemyla has entered the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Arch mage144: (A most unsafe thing to chew.)
Syra Zemyla: (*chops at the black pudding*)
Syra Zemyla: (*it splits in half*)
NYClark2: (( It's not actually a slime, is it? ))
FFFan80: (You never know)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay. So how many lurkers do we have, and how many people who actually want to RP?)
Syra Zemyla: (i WANT rp.)
Idran1701: (I'm on the edge.)
NYClark2: (( I was actually going to get some food, but after that, if it's not too complex too, I'll jump in. ))
Syra Zemyla: (What's the setting?)
FFFan80: (Depending on what's going on)
Arch mage144: (I'm quite likely in. After I finish this dungeon.)
Lithaladhwen: (I can go for just about anything. Aside from the park or an inn, there are also a few places where I can pseudo-GM. I offer up a tavern in a suburb of Doma and a nice whorehouse somewhere in the capital.)
Syra Zemyla: (Who do I have that would be in a whorehouse?)
Lithaladhwen: (I don't know, Zem! Half the fun is thinking of a reason.)
Lithaladhwen: (Those are just a couple of suggestions I thought I'd offer. Others are completely welcome.)
Syra Zemyla: (I could handle the whorehouse.)
Female Pretense has entered the room.
NYClark2: (( Oh yeah! Whorehouse! I want to play Toxie again ))
Lithaladhwen: (Hi, Dia. Are you interested in RP, or are you going to hang out and lend silent support to our geekery?)
Lithaladhwen: (We're still figuring stuff out at this point.)
NYClark2: (( But first, foodly type things need taking care of ))
T3chn0Namagomi: I may be interested
Syra Zemyla: (For some reason, I'm thinking Valerie.)
Lithaladhwen: (I remember Valerie. She was Quinn's roommate for a while.)
Lithaladhwen: (Nice girl.)
Female Pretense: (silent support!)
PsychoWarden2002 has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: (so, uh...first-gen or second gen?)
Lithaladhwen: (Brian and I are going to eat before we RP, so we might be a moment in deciding. I wanted to get people together to allow for such things to occur without losing folk to the sea of onlineness.)
NYClark2: (( One is the onlinest number ))
Lithaladhwen: (I'm cool for one. I've also been RP-starved for my second-gen girl, so I'm cool with whatever.)
NYClark2: (( I have two second gen girls I haven't used in a looong time... ))
Syra Zemyla: (I'm cool with one, two, or 87.)
NYClark2: (( Is that what we decided MACs gen was? ))
Syra Zemyla: (I calculated it.)
Syra Zemyla: (In fact, I want MAC to do a plottish thing.)
NYClark2: (( I want to build a giant MAC robot. ))
Lithaladhwen: (I have no MAC character, unsurprisingly.)
NYClark2: ((Wait, what's unsurprising about it? ))
Lithaladhwen: (The fact that the setting is essentially not used anymore and I've only been here a year?)
NYClark2: (( Aside from you mentioning such information the last time we RPed ))
NYClark2: (( I've been here three, and I have no MAC character either ))
Syra Zemyla: (I like MAC too much to let it die!)
Lithaladhwen: (Well, then... put up a thread or something so that people have time to create characters?)
Female Pretense: (I want a Big Mac.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zem, you just like your twinked mech)
NYClark2: (( I like the idea of MAC, but it seemed like it was even more complex than PS... ))
Syra Zemyla: (No, I like the setting.)
Arch mage144: (...how is MAC, which has no official system and is just a setting, more complex than Philsys, an actual RP system?)
Lithaladhwen: (I just haven't seen it used in years. If you want people to RP there, you should probably give them more notice than, "We should use MAC!")
Arch mage144: (That's like saying Gaera is more complex than d20. You're comparing apples to oranges.)
Arch mage144: (In all fairness, 80% of the people who were big on MAC or involved in any way no longer RP with regularity.)
NYClark2: (( Because of the building a mech thing... I also thought MAC was both a system and a setting. I never claimed to know, I just thought that's how it was.... ))
FFFan80 has left the room.
Arch mage144: (No, it isn't.)
Arch mage144: (A MAC system was proposed and devised, but nothing solid was ever established.)
Female Pretense: (actually, Amanda tried to make a system at one point in time)
Female Pretense: (so Clark isn't completely off his rocker)
Arch mage144: (He's not, no.)
Arch mage144: (Though technically the system would have a different name from the setting. MAC-sys or something, I dunno. In any case, you can RP in the setting without any statistical system if desired.)
NYClark2: (( I'm not. Also I wasn't claiming to be an expert, simply stating why I was a bit less than eager to jump into MAC. ))
T3chn0Namagomi: (And then I tried as well)
Arch mage144: (No system was ever completely created or adopted, in any case.)
Lithaladhwen: (I think I associate it with GURPS mecha, which is made of insanely specific mech-creation.)
Arch mage144: (As such, it remains a setting.)
Lithaladhwen: (This may be incorrect, but it's what I think of...)
Arch mage144: (I did attempt a GURPS Mecha MAC RP at one point--it didn't go well. GURPS Mecha is really absurdly complicated.)
NYClark2: (( I have been looking for GURPS Mecha off and on... ))
NYClark2: (( It's absurdly complicated? ))
Lithaladhwen: (Okay, you know what? I don't care where we RP. I want to play Yadali. I have a hunger for Volpecula-madness.)
Lithaladhwen: (Who wants to RP where?)
PsychoWarden2002: (What's a Volpecula? o_O)
Lithaladhwen: (A little fox.)
PsychoWarden2002: (Aaaah.)
Arch mage144: (The actual mecha design is a very complicated, albeit systematic, process. In any case, if you want to continue this discussion we can take it to main chat.)
Lithaladhwen: (It's also her last name.)
NYClark2: (( Whorehouse is good for whoresome fun. And Toxie! ))
Lithaladhwen: (So, I'm okay with just about anywhere from Doma to Ka'thalar.)
Syra Zemyla: (Okay, I'm fine with the whorehouse.)
NYClark2: (( Where is Ka'thalar? ))
Lithaladhwen: (The only issue with that is that Lex isn't here to play the entire staff.)
NYClark2: (( Yeah, Lex was good at that... ))
Lithaladhwen: (She did last time, and somebody's going to have to play a lady of ill-repute or two.)
NYClark2: (( She also was good at not having them be disaffected or anything. ))
Lithaladhwen: (Yes, she did a good job. Someone has to do it this time or else it makes that setting a little difficult to pull off.)
NYClark2: (( Friendly service. Whores with a heart... for gold of course. ))
Arch mage144: (Ka'thalar: Far away. Like, a week's travel by airship. As far as America is from Europe.)
Syra Zemyla: (Whores with the Heart of Gold?)
Lithaladhwen: (Highly improbable, I know. But she did it.)
NYClark2: (( No no... for gold. They are nice and everything. But they are getting paid. On the other hand, they don't treat customers like a job. Delicate balance. Service with a smile and all that. ))
Arch mage144: (So...we're in the local whorehouse still?)
Arch mage144: (...Clark, that has a totally different meaning in this context.)
Lithaladhwen: (Anyway. If we're going to RP in a brothel, there has to be staff. People need to acknowledge this and present opportunities or something.)
Syra Zemyla: (Yeah.)
Arch mage144: (*moves laptop*)
Lithaladhwen: (Otherwise, another setting might be wise.)
NYClark2: (( Another setting is fine ))
Syra Zemyla: (Hmm. I'm fine anywhere.)
NYClark2: (( I'm actually suddenly feeling a bit tired, so I'm probably going to lie down for a bit... sorry ))
NYClark2: (( A bit could be anywhere between 15 minutes to until tomorrow ))
Syra Zemyla: (Where to?)
Lithaladhwen: (Aw. Hell. I might still play Shakti. I cave to her demands so easily.)
Lithaladhwen: (The woods would be pretty this time of year. Snowy and nice.)
Lithaladhwen: (You people give me a yay or nay or I'm just going to DECIDE for you.)
PsychoWarden2002: (I really need to get to making that new character I was telling myself I was gonna do...)
Lithaladhwen: (Tell me something or I'm going to intro and let you all just figure yourselves out from there!)
Arch mage144: (I'm cool with the woods, since you seem to be thinking the woods would be nice.)
Lithaladhwen: (Does Doma have hunting seasons?)
Arch mage144: (No, they're libertarians.)
Lithaladhwen: (Sounds good to me.)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay. The woods it is.)
Arch mage144: <Hakaril James Silvar>
Arch mage144: *Out for a walk in the lovely snow-encrusted forest on the outskirts of Doma Capital, Hakaril Silvar seems to be enjoying the brisk air--he is clothed no more heavily than usual, and he continually exhales deeply to watch his breath
Arch mage144: mist up into fog*
Syra Zemyla: *There is someone else in the cold woods: Valerie, who appears to have an intense look of concentration.*
Arch mage144: *breathes out again, grinning a little, as though totally amazed every time he does so and sees the vapor condensing*
Arch mage144: IM: Snow everywhere...this time of year is fascinating. The world looks completely different like this. It's as though everything were covered in diamond dust.
Syra Zemyla: *If he's noticing the vapor, then he notices that she's not exhaling vapor.*
Lithaladhwen: *From about ten yards to his left, Hakaril hears an odd whining noise...rather animal-like.*
Arch mage144: *Hak's eyes are so not that good*
Arch mage144: *animal noise!* *turn*
Syra Zemyla: *That breaks her concentration. She turns as well.*
Lithaladhwen: *A red fox starts at Hakaril's sudden movement, but doesn't run away. It just steps backward into the woods a little.*
Arch mage144: IM: Ah, a fox. That's what I heard.
Arch mage144: *kneels and beckons with his hand* IM: Hey, who knows.
CGNakibe has entered the room.
Syra Zemyla: *she merely watches. Also, she's vaporing again.*
Lithaladhwen: *It takes a step forward before stopping. It looks back over its shoulder and doesn't come any closer.*
Arch mage144: *stands and scratches his head* IM: Well, not surprising. I'm no druid.
Syra Zemyla has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: *It whines a little again before running back in the direction it apparently came from.*
Lithaladhwen: *The fox stops after a short distance and looks back at Hakaril.*
Arch mage144: You want me to follow you?
Lithaladhwen: *It continues to look at him. It's possible the animal doesn't speak Common.*
Arch mage144: ...right, you're a fox. You don't speak my language. *smacks his forehead* This is incredibly asinine.
Lithaladhwen: *whines*
Arch mage144: Here I am, on a walk in the woods, talking to you, and you don't even understand me!
Arch mage144: *laughs*
Lithaladhwen: *short yip/bark*
Lithaladhwen: *continues back*
Arch mage144: ...hm.
Arch mage144: *chases the fox*
Lithaladhwen: *The fox lets him get damn close before it even starts to run. It leads Hakaril through lots of winding little paths, a couple of which lead through a stand of prickly plant things*
Lithaladhwen: *As Hakaril relieves his boredom by following random wildlife, the snow around him begins to look really disturbed. It's been kicked up all over the place.*
Arch mage144: *pursues* IM: Man, I must be crazy. OW!
Arch mage144: IM: PRICKLY!
Lithaladhwen: *The fox leads him around a tree that's so wide it can only be described as immense. It's fargin huge. On the other side, Hakaril can see that the snow seems to be, in places at least, soaked with blood.*
Arch mage144: .....
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow and draws his sword*
Lithaladhwen: *The fox leads him around another huge tree, and as Hakaril begins to turn the corner he sees what looks like a mountain of fur, some considerably bloodied. It's probably a bear of some sort.*
Lithaladhwen: *In fact, as he completes the turn, he can surmise the cause of death!*
Lithaladhwen: *Sitting on the ground, leaning back on the tree trunk, is a rather familiar elf.*
Lithaladhwen: <Yadali>
Lithaladhwen: *She looks nearly as messy as the bear, though she's considerably more alive and conscious than it is.*
Lithaladhwen: Hi!
Arch mage144: *looks at the bear, then at the elf*
Lithaladhwen: *furious wave*
Arch mage144: *shrugs and sheathes his weapon* Hey.
Arch mage144: Guess I won't be needing that.
Lithaladhwen: *starts to get up, winces a little, sits back*
Lithaladhwen: How'ya doing?
Lithaladhwen: *The fox takes a seat next to her.*
Arch mage144: Not bad. Yourself?
Arch mage144: I was half-expecting to come across a murder scene.
Lithaladhwen: Oh! Heh. Sorry! I've been hunting.
Lithaladhwen: It's more fun when they put up a fight. I don't hold with the whole weapon thing unless I'm really really hungry.
Arch mage144: Hunting? *looks at the bear* That explains it.
Arch mage144: Wait. Did you kill that thing with your bare hands?
Lithaladhwen: *big grin* No way. Well, not these. *holds up her hands*
Lithaladhwen: It's easier as an animal. They're better at that sort of thing.
Lithaladhwen: *scratches the fox's ears* Alex helped, too!
Lithaladhwen: You going to want some?
Arch mage144: Some bear? I don't know. I've never eaten bear.
Arch mage144: Ah, so you polymorphed. That explains it.
Arch mage144: ...in fact, I could even still say that you fought the battle...bear handed.
Lithaladhwen: *facepalms, leaving blood on her face from her hand*
Lithaladhwen: *wipes it off on her sleeve*
Lithaladhwen: I don't know. I think it tastes better when you actually kill it yourself, you know? Of course, it's harder and easier at the same time. It's kind of weird.
Lithaladhwen: I mean, it's harder to tell when you're injured when you're a bear, you know.
Lithaladhwen: Sometimes that's good, sometimes bad. In the end I think it went well!
Arch mage144: Looks like you won, in any case.
Arch mage144: I'm sure it tastes better when you've killed it yourself, but most of my methods of killing tend not to leave much worth eating behind.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs* I'll bet!
Lithaladhwen: I like hunting them in winter better, especially since spring is their mating season. I don't like being sexually harassed by bears. It's actually kind of gross. And awkward.
Lithaladhwen: Especially when I'm there to kill them.
Arch mage144: ...yeah, that would be very weird.
Arch mage144: I'm glad I...never have to worry about...er...bear rape.
Lithaladhwen: You should be! They're mean!
Lithaladhwen: ....
Lithaladhwen: 6_6 ...My ass is cold.
Lithaladhwen: I should get up soon, I think.
Arch mage144: Probably.
Female Pretense: (What about the civilized business bears?)
Female Pretense: (holy shit, were bear joke!)
Lithaladhwen: (Ack. A lurker emerges!)
Lithaladhwen: *bites her lower lip briefly*
Lithaladhwen: You mind giving me a hand for a moment, General Hakaril?
Arch mage144: Standing?
Arch mage144: *offers a hand*
Arch mage144: I suppose.
Lithaladhwen: Yah. Thanks. *takes his hand and yanks herself up*
Lithaladhwen: >.o
Lithaladhwen: I'm good.
Arch mage144: IM: Never did understand people who couldn't stand up under their own power.
Lithaladhwen: *She wipes her snowy hands off on her sides. One comes away wet with blood.* Eep. Whoops. *wipes that hand on a pant leg.*
Lithaladhwen: *Stands and leans back against the tree*
Arch mage144: *scratches his head*
Arch mage144: So, anything interesting happen lately, aside from killing bears? I'm bored as hell.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* Eh. I dunno. As far as I'm concerned it's just the bear thing.
Lithaladhwen: You always go for walks when you're bored?
Arch mage144: Usually.
Arch mage144: It depends what kind of boredom we're talking about. The castle is a dreadfully boring place.
Arch mage144: Some have argued that I have so many "toys" in my office that I should never get bored.
Arch mage144: They're wrong, unfortunately. Most of my possessions aren't "toys." *smirks a little*
Lithaladhwen: You have such neat stuff! But I know what you don't have!
Lithaladhwen: *snickers*
Arch mage144: What don't I have?
Arch mage144: *eyebrow quirk*
Lithaladhwen: Sh. Never mind. Later.
Lithaladhwen: I want to get this into town. *gestures to the bear* That could be an interesting task.
Lithaladhwen: Hm.
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow* Um...you pique my interest like that and then you change the subject?
Lithaladhwen: *pointedly ignores him* This would be so much easier if I lived out here.
Lithaladhwen: I could just skin it and cook it here.
Arch mage144: *facepalms*
Arch mage144: Whatever, I don't care.
LovelyJester has entered the room.
Arch mage144: You need help moving a bear?
Lithaladhwen: I do!
Arch mage144: I'm not very good at moving bears.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Heee. Distract!
Lithaladhwen: Neither am I. This just occurred to me.
Lithaladhwen: You think I'll get in trouble if I camp out here for a little while?
Arch mage144: *blinks* No.
Arch mage144: Who's going to care?
Lithaladhwen: Awesome!
Lithaladhwen: Alex! My bag!
Lithaladhwen: *Alex runs to a small stand of bushes and begins to dig furiously under the snow until he's buried up to his shoulders*
Lithaladhwen: *He emerges with a backpack strap clenched in his teeth, followed by the rest of the bag. He brings this to Yadali.*
Arch mage144: You're just going to live here in the...wait. This should not be a surprise. Druid. Right.
Lithaladhwen: Well, not for a really long time. Just until I get something done. Or a couple of things.
Lithaladhwen: Or more. Maybe.
Lithaladhwen: It depends on how much bear meat you think you'll want.
Arch mage144: ......
Lithaladhwen: You have to take some!
Arch mage144: I didn't kill the bear!
Arch mage144: How should I know how much bear meat I want!?
Lithaladhwen: *points* I did kill it! And I say you can have some!
Arch mage144: Okay, okay, I'll take your bear meat!
Female Pretense: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: Good!
Lithaladhwen: That was a weird argument. Huh.
Lithaladhwen: Anyway!
Arch mage144: I don't know how I'm going to get it home, however. It will look very strange if I'm carrying a huge slab of bear.
Arch mage144: Not that I can likely do that anyway.
Arch mage144: Ah! Wait!
Lithaladhwen: o_ô
Lithaladhwen: What?
Arch mage144: How much do you think that bear weighs?
Lithaladhwen: Uh.....I never checked.
Lithaladhwen: I don't usually ask their dress size before I kill them.
Lithaladhwen: "Say!"
Lithaladhwen: "Are you about a size 14?"
Lithaladhwen: No.
Arch mage144: ...um...
Arch mage144: Okay, fine. We'll do this the hard way. Cut me off a nice big chunk of...er...bear. I have no idea how you clean and butcher a bear.
Lithaladhwen: *leaves the tree a little hesitantly... she's been kind of leaning on it*
Lithaladhwen: *pokes the bear with her toe*
Lithaladhwen: 'Bout four hundred pounds?
Arch mage144: How the hell did you estimate that?
Lithaladhwen: I poked it.
Arch mage144: In any case, that's too heavy. I can't move something that big.
Lithaladhwen: Well, then. *shivers* My ass is still cold.
Lithaladhwen: *casts a brief spell on herself* ...Gods of nature and all that grows and crawls... help my ass not be cold, please...
Lithaladhwen: *appears to feel better* There!
Lithaladhwen: Okay. Now I have to skin and clean and all that fun stuff.
Arch mage144: That takes a while, I imagine.
Lithaladhwen: Yup! But it's kind of nice. A little messy. ^_^
Arch mage144: In any case, I figured out how to move my share, as long as it isn't absurdly heavy. I estimate I can carry about half the bear, but I don't imagine I'll take that much.
T3chn0Namagomi: *and suddenly, someone else walks onto the scene. An adult male human, with average build, and clad in plain-looking robes. He seems to be wearing a small pair of glasses in front of his green eyes. Some snow can be(cont)*
T3chn0Namagomi: *seen in his medium-length auburn hair* ...That's an unusual chant if I've heard one. About as crazy as some of the guys at Gunnir would enjoy making up.
Lithaladhwen: Hey! *points* My bear!
Lithaladhwen: And his! *points at Hakaril*
Arch mage144: Who the hell are you?
Arch mage144: It's NOT MY BEAR!
Arch mage144: *facepalms*
Lithaladhwen: Well, why the hell not? What's wrong with it?
Lithaladhwen: You don't want any now?!
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I didn't say I was claiming the...*looks at Hakaril*
Arch mage144: I don't care whose bear it is! Yes I want some! It's your bear! You killed it! I am not being impolite and refusing your bear!
Lithaladhwen: GOOD!
Arch mage144: GOOD!'
Lithaladhwen: Anyway.
Lithaladhwen: Who're you?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Holy crap. o.o Didn't think I'd run into another graduate from that university.
Arch mage144: Who are you?
Arch mage144: Wait, you're a Gunnir graduate? How could you not expect to run into another fellow student?
T3chn0Namagomi: Because I just recently graduated. Advanced elemental studies, specialty in synergistic relationships
Arch mage144: Fascinating. That still doesn't answer my previous question, however. Who are you?
Lithaladhwen: Do you like bear?
T3chn0Namagomi: Andrei Lokaivu. Went by the nickname "Insomniac" while in Gunnir.
Arch mage144: Gunnir has that effect on people.
Arch mage144: I always found something better to do than sleep.
Lithaladhwen: ...Nice name. It doesn't tell me whether or not you like bear, though.
Lithaladhwen: *melodramatic voice* Only you can do that!
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< I haven't exactly had bear, and I'm not interested in eating it raw.
T3chn0Namagomi: However...
Lithaladhwen: Well, I'd cook it you crazy Gunnir bastard.
Lithaladhwen: You want some?
T3chn0Namagomi: I think I could cook it myself...
Lithaladhwen: I need the fur. And other stuff. Or I'd let you do it right now.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Why would you need the other stuff?
Lithaladhwen: I need the fur and bones and the sinews and the bladder and other stuff because they're useful and they're there and I killed the damn thing so I'm taking them!
Arch mage144: She's a druid.
Arch mage144: Don't ask.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Oh.
Arch mage144: Not worth worrying about it.
Lithaladhwen: Anyway.
Lithaladhwen: *pulls out a few small knives and sets about skinning and cleaning her bear*
Lithaladhwen: That's divided between three? Or two? Because I know General Hakaril is taking some, he said he would, and I'm taking some, probably a lot, but I don't know if you're interested in some.
Lithaladhwen: You want any? Bear's good.
T3chn0Namagomi: Sure. Why the hell not?
Arch mage144: I...can't believe you offered me bear just because I happened to be in the area.
Lithaladhwen: *snickers* You wait.
Lithaladhwen: Besides, bear is good. And Alex likes you.
Lithaladhwen: *true enough, Alex is sitting in the snow near Hakaril*
Arch mage144: *looks at Alex* Hi.
Lithaladhwen: I can't possibly eat all this. Even if I ate it AS a bear, I'd turn back into an elf and yack it all up again once my stomach was all little again.
Lithaladhwen: *Alex's ears perk up and he tilts his head as if listening.*
T3chn0Namagomi: Such is the issue with polymorphing, isn't it?
Lithaladhwen: Well, sure. But there's nothing like bear-wrestling to wake you up after an afternoon nap.
Lithaladhwen: Also, I needed it for something.
Lithaladhwen: *happy Druid knifework yay*
Lithaladhwen: *She tosses Alex a piece of some internal organ or another...maybe liver*
Papa Tymisonn has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *watches curiously*
Papa Tymisonn: (Situation?)
Lithaladhwen: (So, how many lurkers have we got?)
Lithaladhwen: (I'll brief you.)
CGNakibe: (Where are we?)
Lithaladhwen: (The woods.)
CGNakibe: (Hmm...)
T3chn0Namagomi: *watching*
CGNakibe: (Excellent.)
Arch mage144: I can't say I'm much for hunting. This is a pretty fascinating thing to watch, though.
Lithaladhwen: I'm glad you like it! *is up to her elbows in bear*
Papa Tymisonn: <fuzzybloodsucka>
Arch mage144: IM: This is really weird to watch.
Arch mage144: IM: A little elf girl is butchering a bear and shoving her entire body into its bear-cavity.
Papa Tymisonn: *you may hear a creaking above you, in a tree not far away*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Intriguing.
Lithaladhwen: *Alex notices and barks*
Arch mage144: *looks up*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: When I hunt, I simply just kill it and cook it on the spot.
Papa Tymisonn: *a bit of snow falls to earth, and it is quickly followed...*
Papa Tymisonn: *by a large, fuzzy mass*
Papa Tymisonn: *it instantly rushes to the nearest dark shadow*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Lithaladhwen: *Shakes snow out of her hair...it falls off the dandilion-fluffy grey mass and to the ground*
Papa Tymisonn: *grumbled* ... you try to sleep... e_e
Lithaladhwen: *She watches the fuzzy shadow and growls low in her throat*
Papa Tymisonn: *does the same*
Papa Tymisonn: Who woke me?
Papa Tymisonn: *you can see the eyes... they're blood red*
Lithaladhwen: *She hunches her shoulders up and leans over the bear a little, looking a lot like a hostile animal in the middle of a meal*
CGNakibe: *while others are distracted, eyes peep from the bushes nearby. Their focus is only on the bear corpse and the one hunched over it protectively* =o.o=
T3chn0Namagomi: *watches it halfheartedly* Uh huh. I'm not really scared.
Papa Tymisonn: ... forgive me. I get grumpy if woken... suddenly.
Lithaladhwen: I didn't wake you up fighting with a bear.
Papa Tymisonn: How close are we to sundown?
Lithaladhwen: But you're awake now.
CGNakibe: *a soft rustling can be heard as a new position is found, in better view of the juicy juicy bear meat*
Papa Tymisonn: ... just answer my question, please. e_e
Lithaladhwen: *Alex turns to inspect this new threat*
Lithaladhwen: It's close. Not for about another half an hour.
Lithaladhwen: I don't like you. You can't have any of our bear.
Papa Tymisonn: I don't like bear. Too tough.
Papa Tymisonn: Venison is more my taste.
Lithaladhwen: You don't like THIS bear. Too MINE.
Lithaladhwen: Anyway. You got a name?
Papa Tymisonn: IM: Territorial creatures... ugh.
Papa Tymisonn: Ferran. Of... ...
Papa Tymisonn: I suppose I am of the Bluehearts.
Papa Tymisonn: Until ... further notice.
Arch mage144: (I think he and Hak have met.)
CGNakibe: *... confusion wars with hunger for a moment... then an odd "yip" sounds. It ALMOST sounds like a fox. But there's something not quite as it should be...*
Lithaladhwen: Uh huh. Okay! That sounds good.
Arch mage144: (I am not clear on remembering that, sadly)
Lithaladhwen: *continues butchering her bear and totally ignores him*
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow* Look, Yadali, we're not all here to fight over your bear.
Papa Tymisonn: (I think so. He got vampified during the war?)
Papa Tymisonn: (By none other than Jazz?)
Lithaladhwen: Hey, you. I'm not fighting. I killed a bear. I'm done fighting for today.
Arch mage144: (Yeah, I know who he is, I'm just trying to remember what contact he and Hak have had)
Arch mage144: ...Ferran, right?
Arch mage144: Yeah. You said that.
Arch mage144: I think we've met previously.
Papa Tymisonn: I did.
Papa Tymisonn: And we have.
Lithaladhwen: *Alex bristles and faces off against the strange yipping thing*
Arch mage144: I see. It's been a while. Running into a lot of interesting people today...
Papa Tymisonn: ... you're not a completely horrible person. *smirk*
Arch mage144: Bear girl, a fellow graduate, and...thank you?
Papa Tymisonn: You are welcome.
Arch mage144: Uh, no problem. Least I can do is respond to your...compliment.
Arch mage144: IM: Things stopped being quite so boring, at least.
CGNakibe: *a few odd coughs and yips can be heard... before the sounds of an angry bear coming towards the group can be heard, sounding like its coming from behind Yadali*
Papa Tymisonn: *ventures a black paw out into the light, then quickly pulls it back* Not yet, I suppose...
Arch mage144: IM: Another bear!?
Arch mage144: *whirls to face the growling*
Lithaladhwen: *Yadali slowly stands and turns, baring her teeth*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I didn't come here to kill two bears. I can't eat all that.
Arch mage144: *raises both hands* IM: The elf is baring her teeth. What the hell? She's...oddly feral.
Papa Tymisonn: ... e_e IM: A shame... I'm hungry AND I'm useless...
Arch mage144: IM: ...even for a druid.
Papa Tymisonn: ,
Papa Tymisonn: ,
Papa Tymisonn: ... lure it to the darkness.
Papa Tymisonn: I want this one. *grins*
CGNakibe: *a fox DASHES from the cover of branches to grab a few bites of bear. It is a reddish color, although some looking closely would notice an odd blue diamond on its forehead*
T3chn0Namagomi: Bah. I don't think that would be necessary.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm taking apart my prety with a friend then some guy shows up and some damn fool freak THING drops down from a tree.
CGNakibe: =>.>= *Growl nip TEAR*
Arch mage144: You have two Gunnir ma...HEY!
Lithaladhwen: Alex! GO!
Arch mage144: That's OUR BEAR!
Lithaladhwen: *Alex tackles the new fox*
Arch mage144: IM: Wait. DAMNIT.
Arch mage144: IM: WHY DO I CARE!?
Papa Tymisonn: *dips his finger into the light again* IM: Not much longer...
Arch mage144: IM: Why do I suddenly ALSO have a vested interest in the BEAR!?
Arch mage144: *smacks himself in the face*
CGNakibe: *tackled, nips and swipes at Alex. The thin thing looks a bit pissed now* =e.e=
Lithaladhwen: *dives into the foxfight and attempts to pull them apart...Alex seems to take to this all right*
Lithaladhwen: I'll feed your gangly ass if you just back off!
CGNakibe: GRRRR!!! =e.e=
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Interesting...
Papa Tymisonn: *dips his finger one more time* The sun's down.
Arch mage144: IM: I think that after all this I'd be disappointed if I didn't go home with a big slab of bear.
Arch mage144: IM: I've got too much anticipation built up.
CGNakibe: Arr? =o.o=;;
Arch mage144: IM: I can hardly...bear it.
Lithaladhwen: Alex, back. You there. Be chill, all right?
Papa Tymisonn: *steps out of the shadows, showing his full six foot plus, black furred, red eyed garoujin self*
CGNakibe: *the fox suddenly stops fighting, looking a bit confused at Yaladi's words* =o.o=
Lithaladhwen: *holds out a hand to the starvy little thing*
Lithaladhwen: Wait there.
Arch mage144: What the hell is that thing? That's not an ordinary fox, is it?
Papa Tymisonn: Now, where did that bear go to?
Lithaladhwen: Probably not. It's hungry like a fox, though.
Lithaladhwen: *slices off more of some internal organ or something similar from inside the bear*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I don't mind feeding it, but I can't have things tearing my bear apart that don't know what it's for.
Lithaladhwen: *tosses the piece to the foxy thing*
Lithaladhwen: S'okay guys. I got it.
CGNakibe: *whines and looks hungrily at the offered meat* =o.o=
CGNakibe: *sniffs* *CHOMPS*
CGNakibe: =~.~=
Papa Tymisonn: It's gone? Drat...
Lithaladhwen: *sighs* Ask next time. *to the foxy thing*
Lithaladhwen: *goes back to her business as Alex continues to eye the newcomer a little suspiciously*
Papa Tymisonn: *sits*
CGNakibe: *gulping down a decent slice of meat, it looks up at Yadali and speaks in growly and somewhat broken Nekonian* =too hungry...= =;.;= *whines*
Lithaladhwen: (Just for things that are funny....)
Lithaladhwen: (http://members.surfeu.fi/kklaine/primebear.html)
Lithaladhwen: *blinks at the Nekonian words but doesn't look up from her bear* I don't speak that. That's a biped tongue.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Don't ask me what that is.
CGNakibe: *looks confused, then lays down, clearly frustrated... and more interested in meat*
Lithaladhwen: Hey, General Hakaril! What language is it speaking?
Arch mage144: Um...Nekonian, I think.
Arch mage144: That's odd.
Lithaladhwen: You should translate.
Arch mage144: I'm not really fluent.
Lithaladhwen: *peels back a big flap of skin and fur...it's nice and intact. She seems pleased at this.*
Lithaladhwen: Well, you speak more than I do, and it wants to talk.
Lithaladhwen: *shooing gesture with bloody hands* So talk!
Arch mage144: My Nekonian is terrible. I don't think we're going to accomplish much.
Arch mage144: Konnichiwa!
CGNakibe: *looks curiously at Hakaril* =o.o=
Arch mage144: I told you my Nekonian was bad, it doesn't even seem to understand me.
CGNakibe: =Hello.=
Arch mage144: ...okay, maybe it does.
Arch mage144: *bows slightly* Watashi wa Hakaru Sirvaru desu.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Lithaladhwen: IM: He is so damned useful. He should have at least as many babies as Chandler.
Arch mage144: Uh...
CGNakibe: Hakaru? =o.o=
Arch mage144: Close enough.
Arch mage144: *scratches his head*
Arch mage144: Anata wa kitsune desu ka?
T3chn0Namagomi: ......What're you trying to say to the fox-thing?
Lithaladhwen: Sh! They're talking.
CGNakibe: Kitsune? *looks oddly confused. Apparently he's never heard the term before.*
Arch mage144: I'm asking if it's a fox-spirit. Then again, I don't think it knows.
Arch mage144: Pretty soon I'm going to run out of vocabulary, unless I want to order an ale.
CGNakibe: =I am myself, which is not like you. I am four paws, you are two.=
Arch mage144: And I don't think the fox is going to provide me with that.
Arch mage144: Okay, whatever he just said went way over my head.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...*checks the fox-thing astrally*
Arch mage144: Wakarimasen! Gomen nasai. *bows slightly*
CGNakibe: *the fox thing looks like, well... a very abnormal fox. Something about it is distinctly elven, for some reason. One skilled in Aura reading would notice an affinity towards illusions*
Lithaladhwen: General Hakaril? Does it have a name? I feel bad calling it it all the time.
CGNakibe: *the fox returns Hakaril's bow, although a bit shakily*
Lithaladhwen: *tosses another small piece of meat to the strange fox*
Lithaladhwen: IM: If it eats too fast when it hasn't for so long, it'll get sick. I'll just keep it slow.
CGNakibe: *grabs out of mid-air, and begins munching*
Arch mage144: *shrugs* =What's your name?=
Papa Tymisonn: *wonders when someone will throw HIM some meat for no reason...*
Lithaladhwen: Well, this solves part of my bear distribution problem.
CGNakibe: =... name? What's a name?=
Arch mage144: It doesn't know what a name is. So no, it doesn't have one.
Lithaladhwen: Male or female?
Lithaladhwen: Alex, check.
Arch mage144: o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: (=Do you have a penis or a vagina?=)
Arch mage144: (Useful everyday Nekonian, there)
CGNakibe: (PENIS! :D!)
Lithaladhwen: *Alex tentatively sniffs the new fox's nose as if in introduction*
Lithaladhwen: *Insert standard doggy acquaintance rituals here*
CGNakibe: *sniffs Alex also. Considering how they first met, its a rather tame greeting. Alex is definitely sure this one is male, though*
Lithaladhwen: Alex: *yips at Yadali and walks away from his new acquaintance*
Arch mage144: (I think shoving your face in someone's genetalia is a good way to figure that out)
Lithaladhwen: *Yadali tips her head to one side thoughtfully* Huh. Not interested, Alex? Boy fox, then. Not a vixen.
Lithaladhwen: At least we know it's a he.
Idran1701 has left the room.
Arch mage144: I suppose that's valuable for communication purposes.
Papa Tymisonn: *bored, Ferran stalks off*
T3chn0Namagomi: *checks on the condition of the bear skinning*
Papa Tymisonn: IM: My hunger is too great to simply stand around...
Lithaladhwen: *under her breath in Druid as Farran goes* =Fucking freak.=
CGNakibe: (Ferran: I LIVE!! I HUNGER!!)
Lithaladhwen: *She's got most of the relevant fur off. Now she's divvying up meat.*
Lithaladhwen: So, Insomniac-person-with-a-strange-name...General Hakaril... if you don't mind I'm going to share some of the meat with our new friend here.
T3chn0Namagomi: I don't care.
CGNakibe: *turns to Yadali* =I apologize again for the bear, miss. Too many people hunting=
Lithaladhwen: I don't speak that. *tosses him a little bit more*
Lithaladhwen: You should come home with me.
T3chn0Namagomi: That new, uh...fox thing, isn't really going to be able to take that much out of the bear.
Arch mage144: Yeah, you go home with her.
Papa Tymisonn: (Ferran: Yeah I do. Got a problem? ... in fact, it doesn't matter. *eats Shaun*)
Arch mage144: =Yeah, um, you should go with her, she's got the bear.=
Lithaladhwen: Ask him if he speaks fox.
Lithaladhwen: IM: He needs to start speaking animal so I can talk to him! This is silly and weird and admittedly kind of neat.
Arch mage144: =Do you speak fox?=
Arch mage144: He doesn't even know what a fox is!
CGNakibe: =Fox?=
Arch mage144: See! He's confused!
Lithaladhwen: He's what he is! If he can talk like Alex, I can talk to him.
CGNakibe: =... I don't know what that is, but I do know some of four-paws speak.=
Arch mage144: Look, I don't know. I am not an interpreter. This is not my job!
Arch mage144: I do not talk to animals!
Arch mage144: You do!
Lithaladhwen: *casts another spell on herself*
Lithaladhwen: *in fox* =Hey, you. I'm Yadali. The other one like you is Alex. You understand me?=
CGNakibe: *looks at Yadali and answers in fox* =I do... Yadali?=
Arch mage144: Hah! You two talk to each other!
Arch mage144: That wasn't Nekonian!
Arch mage144: I don't speak fox! I'm free! I'm free!
Lithaladhwen: =Ah! Good. Alex is a fox. You look like a fox. Are you like Alex, or do you just look like him?=
Lithaladhwen: It couldn't have been that bad talking to the fox.
Lithaladhwen: You're such a sissy sometimes.
CGNakibe: (FREE! FREE!!! *Bird flies out of his cage... and quickly gets in the way of a passing airliner*)
Lithaladhwen: tsktsk
CGNakibe: =... Oh. So four-paws is fox. I hadn't heard that before.=
Arch mage144: It wasn't horrible, no.
Arch mage144: But damnit all, do I look like my job is to help people communicate?
Arch mage144: My job is usually to find new and creative ways to blow things up!
Arch mage144: And sometimes, I save the world.
Arch mage144: But none of these duties involve talking to foxes!
Lithaladhwen: =Lots of things have four paws. Alex, a fox, is one. You look like a fox. Are you?=
Arch mage144: ...is the plural of that foxen?
CGNakibe: =Alex not like me. Alex is a four-paws. I am five paws.=
Lithaladhwen: No, it's not. It's foxes.
Arch mage144: I thought so.
Lithaladhwen: =Five? You have four legs from here. And I'm not counting the other. YOU know.=
CGNakibe: =Five.= *nods*
Lithaladhwen: General Hakaril? Does he have five legs?
Arch mage144: No. Unless I have three.
CGNakibe: *puts down the piece of meat he has been worrying for a while, and steps back*
Lithaladhwen: =Okay, fine. Five. Whatever. You either count funny or I'm missing something.=
Arch mage144: Maybe they count like trolls.
CGNakibe: *... the piece of meat begins to slowly float into the air, with the kitsune seeming to concentrate*
Lithaladhwen: ...Cool.
Arch mage144: Bah, I can do that.
CGNakibe: =Fifth paw cannot be seen... fifth paw is..... iss... *thinks*=
Arch mage144: Then again, I guess it's less impressive since I'm not a fox.
Lithaladhwen: Pretty much. You're a cool guy, but it works better when you're small and fuzzy.
CGNakibe: =Alpha-father had five paws. His fifth paw burned like fire.=
Lithaladhwen: =Oh. I have a question. What's that in your face? It's blue.=
Lithaladhwen: (Now the poor thing gets to be a victim of her attention span.)
CGNakibe: =All of the five-paws have it... or something like it.= *looks curiously at Alex*
Arch mage144: (Which means he'll be a victim for five seconds)
Lithaladhwen: =Oh. Why are you so skinny?=
Arch mage144: (Aquaman: Yadali, have you seen any fish nearby?)
Arch mage144: (Yadali: HERRO AQUAMAN!)
Lithaladhwen: (Shaddup.)
CGNakibe: =Large-eared two-paws hunted my family. I got lost from them.=
CGNakibe: (Goldfish have longer memory than that, you know. >:{{{ )
Lithaladhwen: *growls* =Oh. You want to find them, or do you want to hang with me for a while?=
Lithaladhwen: Hey, General Guy.
Arch mage144: You know, Yadali, I'm glad you found a new friend, but I should probably...huh? What?
Lithaladhwen: I guess his family got hunted by people, so now he doesn't know where they are.
CGNakibe: *whines* =I wouldn't know where to look for them. Its been weeks now.= =v.v=
Arch mage144: Hm. That's not so good news.
Lithaladhwen: That thing in his face is a result of whatever power he's got. His alpha male had it too.
Arch mage144: Aha. So it's either a source of his magical power, or a mark that indicates it.
Arch mage144: Makes sense.
CGNakibe: (amazing the things that come of five seconds and a knowledge of Gaera's more obscure races.)
Lithaladhwen: =You can stay with me as long as you want, least until you're a little better fed. Or we could go have a look as soon as I've got the bear taken care of.=
Arch mage144: Odd that it speaks Nekonian.
Lithaladhwen: =Once I've gotten myself healed I'll be able to protect you better from the two-legged people.=
Lithaladhwen: It is!
Lithaladhwen: I don't speak that. I thought I wouldn't be able to talk to him.
Arch mage144: I'm going to return to the castle, unless you need me further. Vixxy is likely waiting for me, and I told her I would be bringing home dinner.
CGNakibe: =... Okay.= *although he looks a bit cautious, the sight of Alex seems to calm him down a bit*
Lithaladhwen: Ah. Yes, that.
Arch mage144: ...I think I will be bringing home something a little different from what she expected.
Lithaladhwen: *wraps a huge armload-sized slab of meat in a wool blanket she'd been hiding in her bag*
Lithaladhwen: Here you go.
Lithaladhwen: You'll get the thing later.
Lithaladhwen: And you guy with the no sleep and the glasses.
Lithaladhwen: *gives him some as well*
Arch mage144: *mutters a little*
Arch mage144: *the bear meat pile glows briefly*
CGNakibe: =... that weird two-paws called me a...= "Kitsune"
Arch mage144: *closes one eye, twitches a finger, and the bear meat begins to levitate*
CGNakibe: =Is that what to call five-paws?= =o.o=
CGNakibe: =O.O=
Lithaladhwen: =It's a word that describes a thing that's like Alex, only magical. I think it's the same thing as you meant, yeah.=
CGNakibe: *Skitters, HIDES behind Yadali* =<.<=;;
Lithaladhwen: Enjoy your meat! And tell your wife I said hi!
Lithaladhwen: =It's okay. He's taking some home. Now that I've got the fur off, you and Alex and I can eat the rest. You still hungry?=
CGNakibe: =... he has more paws too?= =<.<=
Female Pretense: ((00:01:32) Brian/2: That's OUR BEAR!)
Lithaladhwen: =Yes, he does. And, I guess.. .so do I. That's how I can talk to you.=
CGNakibe: *distracted by mention of food* =YES!= =^.^=
CGNakibe: *cocks head curiously. I suppose he's never thought about it like that before.*
CGNakibe: =Many different paws.=
Lithaladhwen: =Yup.=
Arch mage144: *nods to Yadali* I will do that.
Arch mage144: *walks home, levitating a large hunk of wrapped bear next to him, and waves as he goes*
Lithaladhwen: *Since I likely won't be around for Ishmas.... around that time Hakaril will receive his Ishmas present from Yadali.*
Female Pretense: (Lithaladhwen: IM: He is so damned useful. He should have at least as many babies as Chandler.)
Lithaladhwen: *She wanted to get into the spirit of his crazy foreign gods, so she sent him a cold-weather cloak lined with... you guessed it...bear fur.*
CGNakibe: (*Ryuugami shows up ONCE AGAIN to annoy Dia.*)
Lithaladhwen: Bye! We're going to stay here a while. See you around!
Arch mage144: And you!
CGNakibe: *in Nekonian* =Goodbye, Hakaru Sirvaru= =o.o=
Lithaladhwen: *Yadali is going to sit and enjoy bear meat and friendship with foxes while her player goes to bed.*
Lithaladhwen: </Yadali>
Lithaladhwen: (Thanks, peeps! RP is fun!)
CGNakibe: (It is indeed)
Female Pretense: (I don't speak fox! I'm free! I'm free!)
Female Pretense: (damn, I need to open the quote list for that one)
Papa Tymisonn: (... Today I said "Jesus made me fear yetis." o.o)
Papa Tymisonn: (I don't know why, but I want that on a t-shirt.)
Lithaladhwen: (Also, tomorrow morning this'll be added to my crazy online directory of CIRP. Because I'm obsessive about logging.)
Papa Tymisonn: (... it's ONLINE? And you didn't TELL me?)
Lithaladhwen: (Check my AIM profile.)
Female Pretense: (:D)

Female Pretense: (ALSO!)
