Lithaladhwen (8:38:21 PM): Yay! There are people.
PsychoQuadDuck (8:38:25 PM): (Okay, let's see.... who should I use?)
A Rockin SN (8:38:28 PM): (Quick question)
A Rockin SN (8:38:32 PM): (Div, you would know.)
Lithaladhwen (8:38:33 PM): (aye?)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:38:41 PM): (Let's hear it.)
Lithaladhwen (8:38:43 PM): (aw hell. I never get to answer the questions)
A Rockin SN (8:38:55 PM): (What would be the level of hell that a half-fiend of the normal Diablo-Like kind would come from?)
Will Rennar (8:39:32 PM): (Hey Kai, what's the setting for this?)
A Rockin SN (8:40:01 PM): (Or, well, the parent for one)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:40:02 PM): (I would imagine the majority of half-fiends come from the first two levels of Hell.  Frankly, you probably wouldn't see ANY after the fourth.)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:40:07 PM): (Wait.
Lithaladhwen (8:40:13 PM): (well, I was going to default to a Doman marketplace just to give us a place to start)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:40:15 PM): (I didn't see the parent comment.)
Lithaladhwen (8:40:19 PM): (But anywhere is fine)
A Rockin SN (8:40:46 PM): (Well, it's okay.)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:40:46 PM): (Those could probably come from any later of hell, but the most common would probably be the first five layers.)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:40:53 PM): (*layer)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:41:01 PM): (Dammit, I cannot type well today.)
A Rockin SN (8:41:11 PM): (Would it make sense if there was an area ruled by a half-fiend family? (As in, a half-fiend with a half-fiend)?)
A Rockin SN (8:41:16 PM): (In the first two layers)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:41:45 PM): (I imagine it's probably possible, yes.)
A Rockin SN (8:41:49 PM): (Okay!)
Will Rennar (8:42:11 PM): (Cool beans.)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:42:51 PM): (Well, it's time for me to bring out an old favorite.  Too bad Dan's probably the only one with a real chance of recognizing him quickly.)
A Rockin SN (8:42:57 PM): (In which case)
Lithaladhwen (8:42:58 PM): (if anyone has a slightly more interesting idea for setting, go for it.)
Lithaladhwen (8:43:02 PM): ( I just don't know the details of Gaera yet, so I didn't want to disrupt anything important)
Lithaladhwen (8:43:57 PM): (Get yelled at by Pervy or something)
Will Rennar (8:44:30 PM): (So I'm not the only one who's up a creek without a paddle, eh?)
A Rockin SN (8:44:53 PM): (Bah, I'd suggest something simple like the Doman Park or a road leading out)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:45:05 PM): (Well.... I'd have said a forest near Doma City myself.)
A Rockin SN (8:45:17 PM): (Well then!)
Lithaladhwen (8:45:31 PM): (Well, we can 'I'dve said' or we can just pick a spot. SHould we just roll for it?)
Will Rennar (8:45:32 PM): (I'd grab a map and throw a dart at it, personally. <.<;;; )
A Rockin SN (8:45:45 PM): (Forest!)
Will Rennar (8:45:52 PM): (Dungeon!)
Will Rennar (8:46:02 PM): (...sorry, habitual joke there. ;_; )
PsychoQuadDuck (8:47:02 PM): (So we seem to have two for forest....)
Lithaladhwen (8:47:16 PM): (I'm happy with that. Anyone else?)
Will Rennar (8:47:22 PM): (Works for me.)
Lithaladhwen (8:48:43 PM): (I'm always amused that there's a reason for RP characters to be /anywhere/. Forest it is then.)
Lithaladhwen (8:49:16 PM): (People have characters chosen and all that fun?)
Will Rennar (8:49:17 PM): (...Okay, I've just proven how often I RP online. I just spent the past 10 minutes searching for my dice bag without even thinking about it.)
A Rockin SN (8:49:29 PM): (Heh)
A Rockin SN (8:49:42 PM): (No-one will catch the reference to this character's name, but...)
A Rockin SN (8:49:45 PM): <Taniath Dangar>
Will Rennar (8:50:01 PM): (.....You're right. I missed entirely.)
A Rockin SN (8:50:12 PM): (Only Pervy, Shaun, and a select few would)
Will Rennar (8:50:21 PM): <Ruby Blue>
PsychoQuadDuck (8:50:26 PM): (Okay.)
Lithaladhwen (8:50:34 PM): (my character's name is rediculous. After this my RP characters gave themselves normal names.)
Lithaladhwen (8:50:35 PM): <Myrnal (mer-NAHL) Shalienza>
PsychoQuadDuck (8:51:17 PM): (Like I said the only person currently in here who could have a chance remembering this character is Dan.)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:51:27 PM): <Ghakim Avanarus>
A Rockin SN (8:51:31 PM): (Ghakim!)
A Rockin SN (8:51:34 PM): (I just remember his name.)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:53:10 PM): (Hell, I'm having trouble coming up with a good intro right now.)
Lithaladhwen (8:53:41 PM): (Meh. I'll start.)
Will Rennar (8:53:42 PM): (You too, huh?)
Lithaladhwen (8:53:48 PM): <CI stuff!>
PsychoQuadDuck (8:54:08 PM): (Well, I haven't used the guy in a while...)
Will Rennar (8:54:36 PM): (Well, don't feel bad Div...this'll be my first CI attempt with a well-thought-out character.)
A Rockin SN (8:54:38 PM): *In the middle of the forest, there is a girl! This girl, however, is no normal girl, as can be judged with her bat wings, and pure white hair!*
Lithaladhwen (8:54:42 PM): *A young woman in a black Nekonian gi sits behind a fallen log with her crossbow readied*
Will Rennar (8:54:54 PM): (So don't hold it against me if I wind up looking like a complete GIT.)
Will Rennar (8:55:17 PM): (...please.)
PsychoQuadDuck (8:55:22 PM): (Okay.)
Lithaladhwen (8:55:41 PM): (okay) *She's aiming at a deer a few paces away,  waiting motionless for the deer to come closer*
A Rockin SN (8:55:57 PM): *she also seems to have fangs. Otherwise, she would look like a normal, slightly attractive girl. Tall, slender-ish build, slightly muscled... But, well, she also seems to be interested in passing her time by making a patch of grass
A Rockin SN (8:55:58 PM): die*
PsychoQuadDuck (8:57:53 PM): *walking along in the forest is a humanoid.  A really strange-looking humanoid, as can be judged by any number of features - a tail with a forked end where one part is longer than the other, flipperlike feet....*
PsychoQuadDuck (8:59:29 PM): *...a massive growth looking like a fin on his back, or the fact that his face looks precisely like a shark's.  In any event, at this point he's walking the forest, although...*
PsychoQuadDuck (8:59:36 PM): *an onlooker will notice it almost looks as if he jumped into a mud puddle*
Lithaladhwen (8:59:42 PM): *notices the odd flippered person* *w to self* What the hell?
Will Rennar (9:00:10 PM): *tree branches rustle softly as a young woman, muttering quite disgruntledly to herself, trudges through the forest, trying her best to keep the tips of the branches from scraping against the soft pink wings coming from her back.*
Will Rennar (9:00:22 PM): (Right. Almost forgot...text limit. >_<)
PsychoQuadDuck (9:01:27 PM): *at one point, the humanoid leans against a tree, shaking his head*
Lithaladhwen (9:01:40 PM): *catches sight of the young woman and slips into a patch of shadows nearby*
Lithaladhwen (9:01:46 PM): IM: This is just weird. Even by my standards. Can't even hunt privately.
Will Rennar (9:01:47 PM): *to self* Figures...all the things in the world I can see, and the one thing I CAN'T see is a way back onto the road...
Will Rennar (9:02:56 PM): *stops, blinks* ....Hm? *looks around, swearing she was being watched by someone*
Lithaladhwen (9:04:24 PM): *puts crossbow away and sneaks out to the road*
Will Rennar (9:04:25 PM): (....hello?)
Will Rennar (9:04:31 PM): (Oh. Okay.)
PsychoQuadDuck (9:04:34 PM): *sounding like he's talking to himself, but more out loud*  Can't even get one simple thing right anymore.
A Rockin SN (9:04:40 PM): *looks out at mister Shark* Fish!
Lithaladhwen (9:04:42 PM): *turns and notices a woman killing grass* What the hell?
Lithaladhwen (9:04:55 PM): Why are there so many people? It's a forest!
A Rockin SN (9:05:18 PM): *turns around, annoyed* Oh, shush! I'm busy talking to the fish!
PsychoQuadDuck (9:05:47 PM): *looks up, ignoring Myrnal for now*  The way you spoke, it sounded like you were scared of me.
Will Rennar (9:05:53 PM): *snaps around and notices the sharkman* ...Okay, that does it. I must've left my mind behind on that last scrying I did....
PsychoQuadDuck (9:06:03 PM): Let me tell you something right now.  Don't be.
A Rockin SN (9:06:17 PM): Huh? Who are you talking to?
Lithaladhwen (9:06:24 PM): (if anyone wants a better description of her... http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/17163929/ )
PsychoQuadDuck (9:06:47 PM): (That to my character or to Willxaq's, Dan?)
A Rockin SN (9:07:14 PM): (To yours)
Lithaladhwen (9:07:47 PM): *throws up her hands in frustration and sits down on the side of the road*
PsychoQuadDuck (9:07:56 PM): *looks directly at Taniath*  You of course.
Lithaladhwen (9:08:02 PM): *begins to sharpen one of about a dozen knives on her belt*
Will Rennar (9:08:30 PM): *turns around, notices Myrnal and Taniath* ....This must be a popular group of trees or something...? *looking down, she finally notices her hand had unconciously gripped around the hilt of her sword* ...
A Rockin SN (9:09:00 PM): What? Me? Scared by a fish? I think you're cute. In a fishy way of course. Probably taste good.
Lithaladhwen (9:09:15 PM): *looks up from her knife* So. Anyone else here to hunt, or are you following me?
Will Rennar (9:09:50 PM): The only thing I'm hunting for is...*looks just past Myrnal*...the........road....*a VERY audible groan can be heard*
PsychoQuadDuck (9:10:01 PM): *now looks over to Myrnal*  I wasn't here for either.
A Rockin SN (9:10:13 PM): I was here to make grass die. It dies pretty.
A Rockin SN (9:10:17 PM): *nods at Myrnal*
Lithaladhwen (9:10:18 PM): Oh. Good. More deer and privacy for me.
Lithaladhwen (9:10:30 PM): I'm glad you and the grass are happy together.
A Rockin SN (9:10:37 PM): *gestures towards a small patch of grass, which is horribly blighted*
Lithaladhwen (9:10:44 PM): I knew a guy who could do that just by touching it.
Will Rennar (9:10:47 PM): Sorry if I spoiled a catch for you. Kinda hard to be polite when you're lost, y'know?
A Rockin SN (9:10:53 PM): Hah! I didn't touch it.
A Rockin SN (9:10:58 PM): *nods to herself*
Lithaladhwen (9:11:06 PM): Well... he did that to everything he touched, and I didn't really know him.
Will Rennar (9:11:11 PM): ....Yyyyyyeah....
PsychoQuadDuck (9:11:26 PM): *glances to Taniath for just a moment before looking back at Myrnal*  IM: Crazy, crazy girl.
Lithaladhwen (9:11:41 PM): Don't worry about the deer. Easiest things in the world to kill if you know how to get close.
A Rockin SN (9:11:42 PM): *raising an eyebrow* That must stink, though.
Lithaladhwen (9:11:53 PM): Killing everything?
Lithaladhwen (9:12:12 PM): He liked it.
Lithaladhwen (9:12:17 PM): Fortunately, he's also dead.
Will Rennar (9:12:33 PM): *starts to slowly walk away from Taniath* IM: What......a......freak...
A Rockin SN (9:12:48 PM): Ew. The stench kinda sucks, though.
Lithaladhwen (9:12:52 PM): So. I'm Myrnal. You people? Names?
Will Rennar (9:13:29 PM): Mmm? Oh. I'm Ruby. It's a pleasure.
A Rockin SN (9:13:42 PM): *grinning widely* I'm Taniath! Taniath Dangar, Princess of the Empire of the First level of Hell.... *taps the side of her head* Somewhat too long of a title.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:14:07 PM): Ghakim.  If you've been in Doma City enough there's a chance you'd have heard of me.  Although I'm a bit less known nowada-.... *looks at Taniath suspiciously*
Lithaladhwen (9:14:11 PM): Ruby, huh? Nice to meet you. *slow smile*
Will Rennar (9:14:20 PM): ...*glares at Taniath with an expression that says nothing less than "WTF?!"* ...I suppose that could explain the grass...
Lithaladhwen (9:14:20 PM): Taniath also.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:14:47 PM): IM: Dammit.... why must I always deal with distant cousins?
Lithaladhwen (9:14:48 PM): You know, Taniath, you remind me of a... friend of mine. She was a party and a half.
A Rockin SN (9:15:43 PM): *looks around, her expression annoyed* What? You don't believe me?
Will Rennar (9:16:20 PM): Actually, I find it rather believable. IM: Disturbing, but believable.
A Rockin SN (9:16:24 PM): *flicks her large, bat-like wings open, then closes them again*
PsychoQuadDuck (9:16:55 PM): ....no, that's not it.  I'm just sick of running into distant relatives.  If you're for real you'll understand that for sure.
Lithaladhwen (9:17:10 PM): I believe you. So... *looks at Ruby and Taniath, disinterested in the poor shark man*
Lithaladhwen (9:17:21 PM): How long you two going to be around? Have a drink?
A Rockin SN (9:17:27 PM): *grinning* What? I think it's fun to meet people of ours up here, Fishy.
A Rockin SN (9:17:56 PM): *nods at Myrnal* Doesn't matter. Want me to help you catch some food? *grins evilly*
PsychoQuadDuck (9:17:58 PM): I see too many of them act the same up here as they do down there.  That's what sickens me.
Lithaladhwen (9:18:32 PM): That's okay. I'm done hunting deer for the day.
Lithaladhwen (9:18:38 PM): Ruby?
Will Rennar (9:18:45 PM): I don't see any reason not to. Would any of you like a look into your futures while we're at it? *smiles, holds up a small crystal ball* My apologies, it was rather rude of me not to mention this earlier...
Lithaladhwen (9:18:46 PM): How 'bout it?
Lithaladhwen (9:19:16 PM): My future? *smile* Sounds a little too good to be true.
A Rockin SN (9:19:33 PM): *shaking her head at Ruby* Naaah. If I knew my future, it'd lose its fun.
Will Rennar (9:19:42 PM): *flashes a smart-assed smile* I knew you were going to say that.
A Rockin SN (9:19:47 PM): (I make Neutral Evil amusing)
A Rockin SN (9:19:54 PM): Good for you. e_e
Will Rennar (9:20:07 PM): (was talkign to Myrnal there, BTW.)
A Rockin SN (9:20:13 PM): (Ahh, scratch then
A Rockin SN (9:20:14 PM): (*))
Lithaladhwen (9:20:17 PM): Oh hell why not.
Lithaladhwen (9:20:26 PM): What exactly does it entail?
PsychoQuadDuck (9:20:42 PM): *still to Taniath*  And its purpose if you ask me.
Will Rennar (9:21:03 PM): Oh, it's nothing much. Just need to know when you were born is all.
Lithaladhwen (9:21:21 PM): I see. How close a date do you need?
Will Rennar (9:21:38 PM): Within a week usually works best.
Will Rennar (9:21:53 PM): If you don't want your age getting out or anything, you can just whisper it in my ear. *chuckles*
Lithaladhwen (9:22:01 PM): My family didn't do birthdays. Sorry.
A Rockin SN (9:22:04 PM): Yeah, that too, fishy.
Lithaladhwen (9:22:09 PM): Can't give you a date.
Will Rennar (9:22:38 PM): Ahh, I see....*looks Myrnal over for a moment* Well, I think I can guesstimate it close enough.
Lithaladhwen (9:22:45 PM): I'm 19. That help?
Will Rennar (9:23:06 PM): Tremendously. I was figuring you were somewhere between 18 and 20...that'll work.
Lithaladhwen (9:23:13 PM): *spreads hands expectantly*
PsychoQuadDuck (9:24:04 PM): *walks right next to Taniath now*  So....
A Rockin SN (9:24:25 PM): Yeeeeeees?
Will Rennar (9:24:36 PM): *reaches into a pouch on her belt and pulls out a deck of cards, marked with paintings of unicorns on the back, and kneels down close to the ground* Tell me, do you believe in the art of tarot reading?
Lithaladhwen (9:25:27 PM): Me? I've seen some crazy shit. *gestures to a silver symbol of Kazeros on her chest*
Lithaladhwen (9:25:28 PM): I'll believe anything that doesn't cost me anything.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:25:33 PM): How.... is it like down there now?  I haven't made a relaxed visit in what must be a couple of centuries by now.
A Rockin SN (9:25:57 PM): Hmmmmmm!
Will Rennar (9:26:02 PM): *chuckles* Well, money doesn't seem to mean much out in these woods, so I suppose I can handle a freebie.
A Rockin SN (9:26:02 PM): *seems to ponder for a moment*
A Rockin SN (9:26:18 PM): Death, Slavery, Illness, Chaos, War, and Oppression.
A Rockin SN (9:26:25 PM): *grins widely at Ghakim*
Lithaladhwen (9:26:50 PM): *glances over at Taniath* IM: A lot like Quinn. Must be a half-demon thing.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:27:00 PM): So no real difference?
A Rockin SN (9:27:04 PM): Nope. None.
Lithaladhwen (9:27:10 PM): IM: But hey. If a succubus doesn't kill you, no reason to condemn a whole race.
Lithaladhwen (9:27:41 PM): *looks back to Ruby* So, all I do is stand here and have my future told?
Lithaladhwen (9:27:45 PM): No quest or anything?
PsychoQuadDuck (9:28:03 PM): *shrug*  Actually, I think you forgot at least two things if it's just the same.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:28:20 PM): Vengeance and betrayal.
Will Rennar (9:28:32 PM): That's right. *finishes shuffling the cards, laying them out in a Celtic Cross pattern* Hmmm...
PsychoQuadDuck (9:28:34 PM): (Which I imagine hell has to at least some degree.)
A Rockin SN (9:29:33 PM): Well, yse.
A Rockin SN (9:29:34 PM): *yes.
A Rockin SN (9:29:46 PM): But we usually crucify those before they get the chance.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:31:25 PM): If it weren't for the last one I'd have probably stayed.  But enough about my problems.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:31:48 PM): How are things for you up here?
Will Rennar (9:32:50 PM): Tell me, is there some kind of turmoil in your life right now, miss Myrnal? I'm sensing some less-than-pleasant vibrations from these...
Lithaladhwen (9:33:06 PM): What? IM: Oh fuck.
Lithaladhwen (9:33:44 PM): What do you mean?
PsychoQuadDuck (9:35:04 PM): (I assume Dan's been dragged off, so....)
Will Rennar (9:35:08 PM): *points at the Hanged Man, sitting inverted on the left end of the cross* When he shows himself, it is always a sign of one reaching a crossroads in one's life, a time of difficult and often painful actions.
A Rockin SN (9:35:36 PM): (Sorry. Back)
A Rockin SN (9:35:50 PM): Somewhat boring, really.
A Rockin SN (9:35:58 PM): Nobody obeys up here.
Lithaladhwen (9:36:04 PM): Ah. Okay.
A Rockin SN (9:36:06 PM): *pouts, looking almost pathetic*
Lithaladhwen (9:36:08 PM): Not so much right now.
Lithaladhwen (9:36:21 PM): Before, sure.
Lithaladhwen (9:36:57 PM): *shrugs*
Will Rennar (9:37:07 PM): *nods* Yes...the upside-down nature of the Hanged Man shows that while you WERE at a crossroads, you overcame it and have since moved on. *lays down another card beside the cross...the Six of Rods, inverted* ...Oh dear.
Lithaladhwen (9:37:38 PM): IM: Okay. I'm coming to the point where I don't really buy this.
Lithaladhwen (9:37:43 PM): What is that one?
PsychoQuadDuck (9:37:45 PM): (I'm going to assume Willxaq's also doing this with a REAL tarot deck?)
Lithaladhwen (9:37:56 PM): (I hope so. That would be fun.)
Will Rennar (9:37:57 PM): (Yep.)
PsychoQuadDuck (9:38:41 PM): Yes, that's a problem I saw quickly.  Even people with the exact same intentions don't like to cooperate.
Lithaladhwen (9:39:16 PM): (I'm amused that she's getting her cards read. I never thought to do that.)
Will Rennar (9:39:34 PM): (Sorry if I'm going slow...putting the words together is tricky.)
A Rockin SN (9:40:35 PM): *blinking* Who ever spoke of co-operation?
Will Rennar (9:40:37 PM): The Six of Rods...the card of hope, or, when turned, of dread and despair. The realization of one's worst fears coming to life...although I imagine, somewhere deep down, you were already aware of this, weren't you?
Lithaladhwen (9:40:50 PM): IM: fuck FUCK
Lithaladhwen (9:40:56 PM): Eh. Maybe.
Lithaladhwen (9:41:03 PM): I mean, shit happens.
Lithaladhwen (9:41:43 PM): *subconsciously covers the tattoo of Kazeros' mark with one hand*
PsychoQuadDuck (9:41:52 PM): When you say 'obedience', I think 'cooperation by intimidation'.
A Rockin SN (9:42:22 PM): *just grins at Ghakim's words*
PsychoQuadDuck (9:43:43 PM): It's not my style, I'll be honest.
Will Rennar (9:44:40 PM): *nods, laying down the next card...the Chariot, righted* True, but sometimes, when it does, it can be difficult to know how to deal with it...seeing all the different ways our lives can go based on a single decision.
A Rockin SN (9:45:13 PM): Oh?
A Rockin SN (9:45:27 PM): You mean you wouldn't want to be my bodyguard if I asked nicely, fishy?
Will Rennar (9:46:01 PM): *places the final card aside the cross...the inverted Ace of Swords...and stops, looking stunned* ...Miss Myrnal.
Lithaladhwen (9:46:05 PM): IM: Like whether selling your soul will help your friends because it's easier to kill /you/?
Lithaladhwen (9:46:20 PM): Uhm. Yes?
PsychoQuadDuck (9:47:09 PM): First, that's not a job I take lightly.... second, we don't know each other well enough yet... and third, you're asking for something very pricey.
A Rockin SN (9:47:55 PM): I am?
Will Rennar (9:47:59 PM): Be careful. I can't tell exactly what you're going  through right now, but you must approach it cautiously, with patience and wisdom...lest you invite catastrophe into your life and that of those close to you.
A Rockin SN (9:48:07 PM): *blinks* Why not? I mean, it's simple enough...
Lithaladhwen (9:48:27 PM): Well, wouldn't that have just solved everything a month ago? *sarcasm sarcasm*
Lithaladhwen (9:48:36 PM): But seriously. I'm not worried about that right now.
Lithaladhwen (9:48:54 PM): IM: Not again. It's not going to happen again.
Will Rennar (9:50:32 PM): I'm serious. You're on the threshold of repeating a past tragedy, and if you're not careful, you'll fall.
Lithaladhwen (9:50:33 PM): *shakes head* IM: No. I have it on good authority. A god says something's fixed, it's fixed.
Lithaladhwen (9:50:41 PM): I see.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:50:48 PM): For all I know right now, if I accepted quickly I could wind up helping a serious threat to all of Gaera.
Lithaladhwen (9:51:15 PM): Let me tell you again. That would have been helpful a while ago, but now...
Will Rennar (9:51:16 PM): ...*shudders, puts the cards away* ...I'm sorry. I've never had a reading so chilling before..
Lithaladhwen (9:51:20 PM): It's fine.
Lithaladhwen (9:51:26 PM): I get that a lot.
Lithaladhwen (9:51:48 PM): (WilRen, could you log that and email it to me? I have to keep that!)
Lithaladhwen (9:52:05 PM): (I have to log this chat now, but this stupid AIMexpress... *grumble*)
A Rockin SN (9:52:11 PM): *grins evilly as she pulls out a spear, a dark aura suddenly flaring around her*
A Rockin SN (9:52:14 PM): A threat...? Me...?
Lithaladhwen (9:53:04 PM): IM: Chilling reading my ass. I just wanted to buy her a drink.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:53:12 PM): *is not looking even minimally scared*  It has happened to me before.
A Rockin SN (9:53:50 PM): *the dark aura seems to seep through the area, turning the air oppressive, and the area darker in general*
PsychoQuadDuck (9:54:10 PM): I'm not a psychic.  Just because I say something doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be true.
A Rockin SN (9:54:13 PM): (Consider it a basic ... Whatever that spell that makes an area evil is called)
Lithaladhwen (9:54:28 PM): *turns to Taniath* Hey! You want a drink out of me, play nice, all right?
Lithaladhwen (9:54:29 PM): You want to kill each other, don't do it here.
Lithaladhwen (9:54:36 PM): I'm busy with prophecies of doom.
A Rockin SN (9:54:46 PM): *turns back, the aura disappearing, though the darkness remains* ... Fine! Jeez!
Lithaladhwen (9:54:47 PM): (unhallow)
Will Rennar (9:54:47 PM): (Got it! Now to get it to ya..)
Lithaladhwen (9:55:04 PM): (nah, just wait till we're done.
Lithaladhwen (9:55:09 PM): that'll be easier)
Will Rennar (9:55:21 PM): (Cool beans.)
PsychoQuadDuck (9:55:23 PM): Look, if I implied anything I'm sorry, okay?
A Rockin SN (9:55:38 PM): It's okay, after all, I'm an evil evil princess out to harm all of existance!
Will Rennar (9:56:19 PM): IM: ...I wonder if the danger I was sensing in that reading had anything to do with her....
PsychoQuadDuck (9:56:20 PM): IM: You'd be too busy crushing people under your rule.
Lithaladhwen (9:56:43 PM): So... prophecies of doom. Anything else I should know?
Will Rennar (9:57:41 PM): Not that I can sense...
A Rockin SN (9:57:43 PM): *her evil expression turns to a sweet smile as she puts the spear back* Ah well. Thought you'd like the extra money, fishy.
Lithaladhwen (9:58:13 PM): Hm. As long as that's all I need to worry about. Who wants a drink? Ruby? Taniath?
Lithaladhwen (9:58:18 PM): You up for a night out?
Will Rennar (9:58:28 PM): I could go for something right now, yes..
A Rockin SN (9:58:42 PM): ... *turning to Ghakim* What does that mean?
Lithaladhwen (9:59:14 PM): How about you? *to Ghakim* I won't pay for you, but you're invited.
PsychoQuadDuck (9:59:34 PM): (Dan: If that's in response to the last thing I said - the one about crushing people - Ghakim had only thought that.)
A Rockin SN (9:59:59 PM): (No.)
PsychoQuadDuck (10:00:00 PM): *looks to Myrnal*  Sure, I'll come along.
A Rockin SN (10:00:04 PM): (It was in general)
PsychoQuadDuck (10:00:05 PM): (Okay, just checking.)
Will Rennar (10:00:10 PM): (Woohoo! KawaiiRadio's playing the opening to Outlaw Star! :D :D :D :D :D  (/randomoutofrpstuff) )
Lithaladhwen (10:00:26 PM): Good then. *sly smile to the ladies* Let's get out of here and find us a bar.
Lithaladhwen (10:00:47 PM): IM: This day may just pick up.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:00:48 PM): *back to Taniath* I'm not sure precisely what you're asking about.
A Rockin SN (10:01:36 PM): *nods at Myrnal, and follows her, ignoring Ghakim*
A Rockin SN (10:01:47 PM): Do they take Imperial currency?
PsychoQuadDuck (10:02:21 PM): *follows Myrnal as well*
Will Rennar (10:02:31 PM): *nods, puts the deck back in its pouch, walks off after Myrnal* Hope the food's good....surviving on my own cooking has been a bit...tricky.
Lithaladhwen (10:02:48 PM): Don't worry about it, Taniath. I told you I'd buy you a drink if you were nice.
Lithaladhwen (10:02:54 PM): *looks Taniath up and down* And you are.
Lithaladhwen (10:02:59 PM): *smiles*
A Rockin SN (10:03:00 PM): *raising an eyebrow* I'm nice?
A Rockin SN (10:03:08 PM): *the attention seems to go right over her head!*
Will Rennar (10:03:10 PM): *nods* IM: Nice n' weird....
Lithaladhwen (10:03:32 PM): *The city is reached! Hurrah!*
Will Rennar (10:03:56 PM): (Cue the background music change!)
A Rockin SN (10:04:01 PM): *turns to Ghakim* ... So, what are YOU doing here anyway, Fishy?
Lithaladhwen (10:04:14 PM): Well, I've personally had a couple of places recommended to me, but I'm not picky.
Lithaladhwen (10:04:22 PM): Anybody have a spot in mind?
PsychoQuadDuck (10:04:39 PM): Here as in up on the surface, or as in this forest?
Will Rennar (10:05:03 PM): I say we just stop at the first place we find. The sooner we can all have a seat, the better.
A Rockin SN (10:05:20 PM): Up on the surface.
Lithaladhwen (10:05:34 PM): All right.
Lithaladhwen (10:05:42 PM): *walkie walkie*
PsychoQuadDuck (10:06:13 PM): Forced out for showing sympathy.
Will Rennar (10:06:33 PM): Interesting thing to consider a crime...
A Rockin SN (10:06:53 PM): You showed Sympathy? You weren't ill or anything, right?
Lithaladhwen (10:09:09 PM): Sometimes sympathy is the wrong choice.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:09:10 PM): *ignoring Ruby for now*  I'm not sure what you're meaning here by ill.  But if you mean tainted.....
PsychoQuadDuck (10:09:41 PM): ...and I say tainted as in the opposite of what it was like down there.... you could probably say that.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:10:13 PM): I'm actually a lot more comfortable talking about the details now that I've come to accept that.
Will Rennar (10:10:31 PM): *shrugs* IM: I give up on these two...they're definitely from nowhere around here, that's for certain...whether they're acutally from Hell or not I dunno, and at this juncture...I don't really give a hoot.
A Rockin SN (10:10:35 PM): No, no. I mean, ill. Like a fever.
Lithaladhwen (10:10:37 PM): IM: He seems comfortable enough to me.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:10:45 PM): Not that kind of ill, no.
Lithaladhwen (10:10:56 PM): IM: Not much should bother you if you walk around looking like that.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:13:16 PM): IM: The sad thing for her is, I was thinking absolutely clearly when it happened.
A Rockin SN (10:14:07 PM): That kinda sucks...
A Rockin SN (10:14:20 PM): You're welcome in the first level if you be my bodyguard.
A Rockin SN (10:14:26 PM): At least in Imperial area.
A Rockin SN (10:14:48 PM): *flicks a small black coin at Ghakim*
Lithaladhwen (10:15:56 PM): *approaches a random inn/tavern/bar place because they're everywhere*
Lithaladhwen (10:16:01 PM): Inside?
Lithaladhwen (10:16:17 PM): *gestures to the door*
Will Rennar (10:16:21 PM): Looks good enough to me.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:16:31 PM): *gives a look at the coin for a moment*  IM: I feel very uneasy about this......
PsychoQuadDuck (10:17:00 PM): *hands the coin back*  I'm sorry, but I'm going to need quite a bit more time before I can decide.
A Rockin SN (10:17:33 PM): *the coin, on one side, has a symbol of a three-headed dragon, and on the other, a man with a mask . The man, clearly demonic, and looks something like Darth Vader*
A Rockin SN (10:17:40 PM): *At least ,the mask he wears and the sword he wields*
Lithaladhwen (10:17:49 PM): *inside* So, any table all right with you guys?
Will Rennar (10:18:03 PM): (Coooool...)
Will Rennar (10:18:09 PM): (Gaagh. Lag...)
PsychoQuadDuck (10:18:16 PM): *now to Myrnal*  Fine by me, at least.
Will Rennar (10:18:25 PM): Long as it's got enough chairs.
A Rockin SN (10:18:36 PM): Indeed.
A Rockin SN (10:18:39 PM): *nods*
Lithaladhwen (10:18:41 PM): *pulls out a chair for Ruby and sits down herself* Everyone, feel free to have a seat.
A Rockin SN (10:18:51 PM): *also sits!*
PsychoQuadDuck (10:18:53 PM): *has a seat as well*
Lithaladhwen (10:18:57 PM): Sorry, Ghakim, but I can only afford drinks for the girls.
Will Rennar (10:19:26 PM): Thank you. *sits down*
Lithaladhwen (10:19:32 PM): *winks at the nice demon lady*
PsychoQuadDuck (10:20:02 PM): I believe you said that already.  No matter, I should be able to handle getting my own drinks.
Lithaladhwen (10:20:37 PM): IM: I'm glad you 'can handle' it. Jackass.
A Rockin SN (10:21:08 PM): *doesn't seem to notice, again!*
Will Rennar (10:21:36 PM): *sits back, clasping her hands together in front of her face, covering a soft, mostly inaudible giggle and a slight smile*
Lithaladhwen (10:21:58 PM): *waves to the waiter* Excuse me.
Lithaladhwen (10:22:21 PM): W: Yes? Are you ready to order?
Lithaladhwen (10:22:39 PM): I am. Just an ale please. Anyone else?
A Rockin SN (10:22:59 PM): Hmmmm..
Will Rennar (10:23:12 PM): One for me as well, please. Nothing fancy.
A Rockin SN (10:23:28 PM): *whispering to Myrnal* They don't serve dragonblood and lizardman brains here, do they?
Lithaladhwen (10:23:51 PM): *whispered back* Couldn't tell you for sure, but something makes me doubt it.
A Rockin SN (10:24:04 PM): *w* Bah, then I'll leave it to you.
Lithaladhwen (10:25:41 PM): *w* You don't want anything else?
A Rockin SN (10:26:04 PM): *shakes her head*
A Rockin SN (10:26:06 PM): who
Lithaladhwen (10:26:09 PM): *w* I'll see that you're taken care of.
A Rockin SN (10:26:12 PM): (... Wow, too used to MUDs)
A Rockin SN (10:26:15 PM): (XD)
Lithaladhwen (10:26:29 PM): *smile*
Will Rennar (10:26:55 PM): (*ubersoftpaperfanswat* Indeed.)
Lithaladhwen (10:27:31 PM): IM: Doesn't look like either of them quite get it. Oh well. It's a big city.
Lithaladhwen (10:27:41 PM): *resigned to her fate*
A Rockin SN (10:27:57 PM): (Taniath: Pfft. I'd kill you in less than 20 minutes.)
PsychoQuadDuck (10:28:34 PM): *seems to be pondering whether he should order a drink now or not*
Lithaladhwen (10:28:53 PM): (Myrnal survived 'making friends' with a succubus. I'd say she'll be fine.)
Will Rennar (10:29:20 PM): *turns to Ghakim* As long as they're sitting there talking about what she's gonna have, you way as well get something for yourself.
Lithaladhwen (10:29:23 PM): (well, half-succubus to be precise)
Will Rennar (10:29:51 PM): (....Holy crap. I typed that in BEFORE Div said anything. What ominous lag timing!)
A Rockin SN (10:29:52 PM): (This one's more like Half-Demon. Like, the usual scaly, winged demon)
Lithaladhwen (10:30:36 PM): (Quinn was pretty much the same. Covered in scales, bat wings, fangs and claws.)
PsychoQuadDuck (10:30:40 PM): *somewhat quieter, and to Ruby* Not sure what to get.  After a day like this I'm tempted to ask for the strongest alcohol they've got here.
A Rockin SN (10:31:11 PM): (Well then. =D)
Lithaladhwen (10:31:17 PM): *sighs* *To Ghakim* All right. Out with it.
Lithaladhwen (10:31:29 PM): Tell us your sorrows, your trials, your day.
Lithaladhwen (10:31:36 PM): *blinks expectantly*
Will Rennar (10:32:15 PM): ...*blinks as well, though more from surprise* IM: That was..........blunt.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:32:54 PM): One moment.  *puts a fairly thick silver coin on the table, and looks up to the waiter*  I'll have whatever the strongest alcohol you've got is.
Will Rennar (10:34:06 PM): *stares at the coin in astonishment* Wow. You must've REALLY had one of those days..
PsychoQuadDuck (10:34:26 PM): *back to Myrnal*  To put it shortly, two - no, three - of my closest friends are almost dead and something's screwing up my magic.
Lithaladhwen (10:34:40 PM): IM: Now we're getting somewhere.
Lithaladhwen (10:34:47 PM): Yeah? That's a start.
Lithaladhwen (10:34:49 PM): Tell me more.
A Rockin SN (10:35:33 PM): *looks, somewhat boredly at Ghakim*
PsychoQuadDuck (10:37:19 PM): The four of us were hired to stop a creature that was rampaging far from the city.... and let's just say we were led right into a trap.
Lithaladhwen (10:38:04 PM): Uh huh. So. Sole survivor, more or less?
PsychoQuadDuck (10:40:15 PM): Well, at the end of fighting that.... thing, I found myself bleeding in an alley and I was certainly the only conscious one.  I'm not ready to say the others actually died, but it's probably close.
Will Rennar (10:41:01 PM): Oh dear...
Lithaladhwen (10:41:04 PM): Hm. Well I hope the waiter brings you back something good then.
Will Rennar (10:41:27 PM): IM: Hmmm...perhaps it wasn't miss Myrnal's future I was reading earlier?
PsychoQuadDuck (10:41:36 PM): Definitely.  Never have I faced such a massive creature as this in my life.
Lithaladhwen (10:41:37 PM): IM: Yeah. Been there, buddy. Except I was a damn kid. And it was everyone I knew.
Lithaladhwen (10:42:41 PM): So, you know what it was?
A Rockin SN (10:42:47 PM): Ooooh, Massive Creatures are always fun.
Lithaladhwen (10:42:49 PM): Or was it just 'a creature'?
PsychoQuadDuck (10:44:01 PM): Well.... what I remember seeing of it may be a bit hazy from injury, but it looked fishlike in nature.... well over four times the height of your average Doman citizen...
PsychoQuadDuck (10:45:01 PM): .....that's about all I remember of it.  But I heard a name.... I could swear it was something stupid like Ballade, but I can't remember just what it was.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:45:13 PM): (You know, I need to come up with better names on my own.)
Lithaladhwen (10:45:27 PM): Eh. I was never the one who remembered the monsters. Just killed them when necessary.
A Rockin SN (10:45:42 PM): Ooh, I want to meet this... Ballade.
Lithaladhwen (10:45:54 PM): So, if you're ever looking for someone with no self-preservation instinct to help you out...
Lithaladhwen (10:46:00 PM): I'm in town for a while
Will Rennar (10:46:02 PM): *raises an eyebrow* Hmm.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:47:37 PM): *shakes his head*  I don't even think the four of us could successfully hinder him.
Will Rennar (10:48:19 PM): *chuckles* I don't know how much help I'd be...
Lithaladhwen (10:48:21 PM): I do know other people with nothing better to do if there's money involved.
Lithaladhwen (10:48:45 PM): Would take me a while to hunt them down though. They wander about.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:48:47 PM): But before I do anything more in regards to that creature, there's two things I have to deal with.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:49:16 PM): First I have to make sure the others survive, and I also have to hunt down the employer who convinced me to do this.
Lithaladhwen (10:50:34 PM): IM: And it's /their/ fault you bit off more than you can chew. Fuck that.
Lithaladhwen (10:51:43 PM): So. When is all this going to happen?
A Rockin SN (10:52:27 PM): IM: Fun Fun..
PsychoQuadDuck (10:53:16 PM): Once I'm completely certain the others will survive.  I have no clue how long that's going to take, but I'm hoping that's less than a week.
Lithaladhwen (10:53:49 PM): So, what happened to them?
Lithaladhwen (10:54:07 PM): I mean, did you guys just get your asses kicked, or is it more complicated?
PsychoQuadDuck (10:55:05 PM): One of them suffered massive head trauma and the other two had their ribs crushed.
Lithaladhwen (10:55:18 PM): And you haven't been able to find a healer?
Lithaladhwen (10:55:28 PM): I mean... a good one.
PsychoQuadDuck (10:55:44 PM): Oh, I found one..... it's just the extent of their injuries might be too much for a healer to handle.
Lithaladhwen (10:55:55 PM): Hm. I guess.
Lithaladhwen (10:55:57 PM): I mean...
Lithaladhwen (10:56:17 PM): I've been dead before, so I can't say I believe that your friends are beyond help.
Lithaladhwen (10:56:37 PM): Situations differ, though.
Will Rennar (10:56:42 PM): *silently reaches down under the table, pulling her tarot cards back out, and places a few in her lap*
A Rockin SN (10:56:43 PM): Been dead, huh?
A Rockin SN (10:56:52 PM): *looks at Myrnal* So you're like, undead?
Lithaladhwen (10:56:56 PM): No.
Lithaladhwen (10:57:08 PM): I was brought back. Don't get all paranoid on me.
Lithaladhwen (10:57:24 PM): IM: Again with the damned cards.
Will Rennar (10:57:55 PM): *looks up at Myrnal, speaking softly* Sorry. Force of habit...
Will Rennar (10:58:12 PM): (...err, scratch that, didn't see the "IM" at the start.)
Lithaladhwen (10:58:46 PM): (s'okay. she commented on the paranoia. that's what she meant.)
Lithaladhwen (10:59:09 PM): Do I look undead to any of you? *looks around* Seriously.
Lithaladhwen (10:59:18 PM): If you've seen undead, it doesn't look like me.
A Rockin SN (10:59:37 PM): Vampires can look like you.
A Rockin SN (10:59:53 PM): They're ugly, but hey.
A Rockin SN (11:00:04 PM): Well... Most of them are...
Lithaladhwen (11:00:08 PM): 'You' meaning human?
Lithaladhwen (11:00:21 PM): Or you've seen undead Myrnals walking around?
PsychoQuadDuck (11:00:25 PM): Excuse me a moment.
Lithaladhwen (11:00:29 PM): Sure.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:00:52 PM): *stands up, walking close to the door and looking a bit like he's stretching his arms*
Will Rennar (11:01:47 PM): *smiles, puts the cards away, sits back, sighs in what appears to be relief, and looks at the ceiling, speaking softly to herself* They should be fine.
Lithaladhwen (11:01:54 PM): ...
Lithaladhwen (11:01:59 PM): 'They'?
Lithaladhwen (11:02:12 PM): His friends?
Will Rennar (11:02:23 PM): Mmm? *glances over at Myrnal* Oh. Yeah.
Lithaladhwen (11:02:33 PM): Hn. Good news then.
Will Rennar (11:03:08 PM): *chuckles softly* I guess it's in my nature to stick my nose in other people's business like that....I really should stop..
PsychoQuadDuck (11:03:21 PM): *by the way, did the orders placed earlier ever arrive at the table?*
Lithaladhwen (11:03:24 PM): So, what's with you and the cards?
Lithaladhwen (11:03:36 PM): I can't help but be curious after my reading and now this.
A Rockin SN (11:03:50 PM): Cards... Mmh. Pieces of paper.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:05:07 PM): *in any event, Ghakim heads back to his seat*
Lithaladhwen (11:05:18 PM): *sure. the waiter snuck over while Ghakim was at the door*
Will Rennar (11:05:21 PM): It's something my family taught me when I was still with them. We needed a fortune teller for our shows, and they found I seemed to have a knack for it, so they taught me how to use these cards to peek into the future.
Lithaladhwen (11:05:41 PM): Nice.
Will Rennar (11:06:52 PM): Heh....I suppose that's ONE way of putting it. I don't see the attraction children have for the carnival life, though...after a short while it gets surprisingly boring.
A Rockin SN (11:07:18 PM): What's "carnival life"?
Will Rennar (11:07:46 PM): ...I take it they don't have travelling amusement shows down where you're from, do they...
A Rockin SN (11:08:26 PM): Define "amusement". *grins*
Lithaladhwen (11:08:29 PM): I'd imagine not. Not the way we do, at least.
Lithaladhwen (11:08:36 PM): Different entertainment.
Will Rennar (11:08:42 PM): .....*faceplams* Right. Forgot.
Will Rennar (11:09:03 PM): IM: What a fruitcake.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:09:31 PM): *Ghakim takes his drink, and.... well, it's quickly consumed.  VERY quickly*
Lithaladhwen (11:09:46 PM): Whoa. Nice work on that.
Will Rennar (11:10:12 PM): *chuckles, taking a slow drag of her ale* Taste any of that?
PsychoQuadDuck (11:11:25 PM): Well, no.  Unless you're talking the burning in one's throat after it.
Lithaladhwen (11:12:09 PM): Wine is for taste. That stuff has a more practical purpose.
Lithaladhwen (11:12:15 PM): Getting your ass drunk.
Will Rennar (11:13:16 PM): Well, after that I'd say he's well on his way. *takes another long, slow sip, downing about a quarter of her drink*
A Rockin SN (11:13:19 PM): *nods to herself*
PsychoQuadDuck (11:13:47 PM): I'm going to wait on the second drink though.... I've got this feeling something bad's going to happen if I start now.
Will Rennar (11:14:47 PM): IM: I wish you wouldn't say that..
PsychoQuadDuck (11:15:04 PM): Excuse me again.
Lithaladhwen (11:15:30 PM): ... by all means.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:15:45 PM): *stands up and again heads to the door, with more arm stretching*
Will Rennar (11:16:57 PM): Mmmmm....poor guy..
Lithaladhwen (11:17:13 PM): Yeah. Tough break.
A Rockin SN (11:17:30 PM): Mmh.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:17:44 PM): *suddenly he heads out, and the next thing heard from inside is another voice, one that's somewhat high up but still male*  Hello.
A Rockin SN (11:17:46 PM): What's with the stretching? Does he rust?
Lithaladhwen (11:18:03 PM): *laugh* Maybe.
Will Rennar (11:18:12 PM): *looks around* Wha?
Lithaladhwen (11:18:26 PM): That's interesting.
Lithaladhwen (11:18:33 PM): *sips ale*
PsychoQuadDuck (11:18:36 PM): (I should correct myself.... the voice is from outside, but it's audible indoors.)
Lithaladhwen (11:19:13 PM): (okay. then her disinterest is justified rather than a result of her being a bitch)
Lithaladhwen (11:20:28 PM): (I may have to go soon... another 20 minutes maybe)
Will Rennar (11:20:34 PM): (Ditto.)
PsychoQuadDuck (11:20:42 PM): *another voice from outside, clearly that of the sharkman*  Look, you...  Don't even think your prank was funny.  What?  I only hired you for a simple-  Simple nothing!  You tricked me!
Lithaladhwen (11:20:57 PM): Oh hell.
Lithaladhwen (11:21:03 PM): *gets up*
Lithaladhwen (11:21:18 PM): *pushes her chair in* I'm going to go check on the poor bastard.
Lithaladhwen (11:21:24 PM): *to the door!*
Will Rennar (11:21:27 PM): *glances over by the door* ....Sounds like he's succeeded in ONE of his objectives..
A Rockin SN (11:21:49 PM): *mutters something, disappearing from view before moving towards the others*
PsychoQuadDuck (11:22:03 PM): Are you sure you have the right man?  I'm damn sure.  I could tell your smell any day!
Lithaladhwen (11:22:14 PM): *steps outside to watch the argument*
Will Rennar (11:22:41 PM): *sighs, gets up out of her chair, and walks over by the door, staying close to Myrnal*
PsychoQuadDuck (11:23:06 PM): *outside is the sharkman and.... what appears to be a silver nezujin in a very dark cloak.  At one point the nezujin steps back and.... for a moment, his tail shows, revealing an even-fork pattern to those carefully watching*
Lithaladhwen (11:23:35 PM): *puts her hands on two of her many knives and waits*
Lithaladhwen (11:23:37 PM): As long as he doesn't come after me, he should be fine.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:23:49 PM): ....what the-  No wonder!  You're... *turns and yells*  GUARDS!!!
Will Rennar (11:24:13 PM): *raises an eyebrow* IM: The hell? *instinctively puts her hand on the hilt of her sword again*
Lithaladhwen (11:24:19 PM): O.o What the hell? Hey! Explain what the hell is going on here.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:24:24 PM): *as soon as the nezujin tries to run, the sharkman trips him and pins him to the ground*
A Rockin SN (11:25:06 PM): *follows, still invisible, and looking very amused*
PsychoQuadDuck (11:25:18 PM): *but the sharkman looks up*  I just figured out this guy in fact had to have set me up.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:25:34 PM): Look at the tail, and the face... do any of you recognize that?
Will Rennar (11:25:43 PM): Not off the top of my head..
A Rockin SN (11:26:04 PM): He's ugly.
Lithaladhwen (11:26:07 PM): So, what. You want to kill him or arrest him or what?
A Rockin SN (11:26:08 PM): *still invisible*
Lithaladhwen (11:26:18 PM): *looks in the direction of the voice* Nice trick.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:26:22 PM): *question is, which of the characters has paid much attention to the list of Doma's most wanted criminals?*
A Rockin SN (11:26:38 PM): He's ugly. Kill him.
Will Rennar (11:26:58 PM): Hmmm....I take it your little playmate here's a little ways up the list?
PsychoQuadDuck (11:28:00 PM): Yes.... but my question is, what does this guy intend to do by having me dead?
Lithaladhwen (11:28:31 PM): You asking me?
Lithaladhwen (11:28:46 PM): Listen. Dead I can help you with. Arrested: not my area.
A Rockin SN (11:28:52 PM): May I stab him?
Lithaladhwen (11:28:56 PM): What exactly are you expecting here?
Will Rennar (11:29:37 PM): I think we've got someone here who can answer that question, Ghakim...*nudges the toe of her boot against the pinned being's jaw ever so slightly* Right?
PsychoQuadDuck (11:29:46 PM): What I'm expecting is for the guards to learn why I was tricked and what this guy's friends are up to.  *by now, the guards have arrived... two humans in standard Guard attire*
PsychoQuadDuck (11:30:31 PM): Okay, let him up.  ....what?  I said let him up!
Lithaladhwen (11:30:48 PM): *walks back inside and puts down money on the table to pay for the drinks... all of them.*
Lithaladhwen (11:30:49 PM): *Then she comes back outside.*
A Rockin SN (11:30:56 PM): *decides to test if the guards can see her, moving in front of them*
Lithaladhwen (11:31:10 PM): (can you delineate which character is speaking, please?)
Will Rennar (11:31:28 PM): (I think that's what the font color's for.)
Lithaladhwen (11:31:47 PM): (I can't see that, sorry. I'm on a really old AIM)
Lithaladhwen (11:31:51 PM): (my bad)
PsychoQuadDuck (11:31:52 PM): (I was going to say.)
Will Rennar (11:32:04 PM): (Aaaaaaaaaaaso..)
PsychoQuadDuck (11:32:24 PM): (Strict bold is Ghakim, strict italics, if I can pull that off, is ratboy.  Standard or both is a guardsman.)
PsychoQuadDuck (11:32:40 PM): *Ghakim reluctantly stands, still holding poor ratboy*  What is the meaning of this?
PsychoQuadDuck (11:33:25 PM): (You know what?  It's not letting me use strict italics.)
Lithaladhwen (11:33:39 PM): Look, you guys can handle this, right? Because I should probably head out.
Lithaladhwen (11:33:42 PM): Have to be somewhere.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:33:46 PM): (<G> is Ghakim, <R> is ratboy, <D> is a guardsman.)
PsychoQuadDuck (11:34:21 PM): <R> Sir, I-  <G> He set me up, is what's the meaning!
PsychoQuadDuck (11:35:20 PM): <D> I'm not believing you.  And to make this simple, until we know the truth, both of you are under arrest.
Will Rennar (11:35:45 PM): IM: Oh dear...this isn't going to be good.
Lithaladhwen (11:35:47 PM): Oh hell.
Lithaladhwen (11:35:51 PM): *sigh* Well then. Ruby, it was nice meeting you. Taniath, you too.
Lithaladhwen (11:35:58 PM): Ghakim... good luck.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:36:00 PM): <G> I had to figure.  *shoves ratboy into the hands of the guardsmen, who quickly put him in cuffs*
Lithaladhwen (11:36:05 PM): Kick his ass if he deserves it so badly.
PsychoQuadDuck (11:36:20 PM): <G> *turns to Myrnal* I've had this happen before.... I should be okay.
Lithaladhwen (11:36:47 PM): All right, then.
Lithaladhwen (11:37:03 PM): The drinks are all paid for. At least you won't have the innkeep after you.
Will Rennar (11:37:07 PM): *nods* I'm afraid I need to get going as well...before I do though, I suppose I should let you know I was taking a peak at your friends' future earlier...I'm fairly certain they'll be alright.
Lithaladhwen (11:37:08 PM): See you around.
Lithaladhwen (11:37:23 PM): *as she leaves: to the guards* Say hello to General Silvar from Myrnal next time you see him.
Lithaladhwen (11:37:47 PM): *walks away, disappearing dramatically into the shadows of an alley ninja-style*
PsychoQuadDuck (11:37:56 PM): *then, while one of the two guards holds the struggling ratboy, the other puts Ghakim in cuffs - Ghakim providing no resistance whatsoever to it*
PsychoQuadDuck (11:38:22 PM): *and, of course, the four of them are now off to the nearest guard station for questioning*
A Rockin SN (11:38:34 PM): How amusing.
Will Rennar (11:38:36 PM): *bows politely* Take care, Mr. Ghakim, Miss Myrnal, Miss Taniath. *turns and leaves*
PsychoQuadDuck (11:38:49 PM): (I'm going to have to leave as well....)
A Rockin SN (11:38:57 PM): These Doman guards are so stupidly inefficent.
A Rockin SN (11:39:04 PM): *giggles to herself*
Lithaladhwen (11:39:09 PM): (I'm heading out... so logs are good. Bye!)
