You have just entered room "dorsiareservation."
Der DWSage: (Hey, it's a BA. :{ )
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Hey folks. Now you can all say you've gotten reservations at Dorsia.)
Arch mage144: (I GOT A RESERVATION AT DORSIA YOU FUCKING BASTARD)
Der DWSage: (I'm not even sure what a Dorsia is. :{ )
Lithaladhwen: (Is that a raincoat, Brian?)
AngeloState606: (What's Dorsia?)
AngeloState606: (And, yes! It is a BA!)
Lithaladhwen: (A restaurant in American Psycho.)
Der DWSage: (Oh, well then.)
AngeloState606: (AhA!)
Der DWSage: (ANYWAY. Where do we begin?)
Lithaladhwen: (Patrick Bateman really wants reservations there. If you have them, it's possible that he'll kill you from the offense to his capitalist pride.)
Arch mage144: (Why yes it is, Ashley!)
AngeloState606: (Can I seduce Christian Bale? Even though he is, well, scary?)
Lithaladhwen: (Everyone should at least try, Tara.)
Der DWSage: (Cause I've totally got two new characters I want to flesh out in RP for my own devious purposes. :{ )
AngeloState606: (*Nod nod*)
Lithaladhwen: (Go ahead, Sage. You pick the gen, in that case.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Brian: I've attempted to flesh out things in the MAC thread. ^^;-)
T3chn0Namagomi: (To an extent, at least. Theorizing about certain things)
Lithaladhwen: (Also, be warned! Ashley and Brian are lagging! Connection stuffs.)
Arch mage144: (I'm...noting this.)
Der DWSage has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: (...yeah. Long, rambling posts. Be warned.)
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Der DWSage: (OSHIT, IRONY.)
Der DWSage: (*Clears his throat*)
AngeloState606: (*Deedly dee*)
Arch mage144: (Dear sweet Jesus.)
Der DWSage: <IT IS A COMPLETELY NORMAL, NON-DISCONNECTING DAY IN REGULAR DOMA, DAMMIT.>
T3chn0Namagomi: (I know. I have no life.)
Arch mage144: (I'll post later.)
AngeloState606: (Yay! DOMA!)
Der DWSage: <And walking down the street are two rather interesting looking individuals!>
Lithaladhwen: (What to do, what to do. It's between Holly and Tassi. I don't think I'm feeling Myrnalish right now.)
Der DWSage: *One of them is a thin man, carrying an old harp, wearing an orange cap, and dressed rather normally for summer...*
Lithaladhwen: (Though I believe this is the choice for the evening.)
Der DWSage: *And the other is slightly older woman, blonde of hair and green of clothing, carrying a pitchfork with her.* I'm just asking, wouldn't it make more sense for him to hide with other people?
Der DWSage: He's seven feet tall, blue, and radiates cold. He'd hide from people, not with them.
Der DWSage: We're here to pick up supplies and that's it, Llyra. At the risk of a pun, the trail's gone cold.
T3chn0Namagomi: (This first-gen?)
Der DWSage: (Aye.)
Lithaladhwen: (Yes. I presume so, and I'm playing Tassi.)
AngeloState606: *As the fixture she is, a familiar red-haired elven woman is propped up against a pillar playing on her lute. Random passers-by are tossing coins on the ground in front of her*
AngeloState606: <Zyvanna>
Der DWSage: That's what he'd want us to think! We know how devious he is! C'mon, surely he could find a place to hide in Doma if half the stories you told me are true...
T3chn0Namagomi: *And a certain blue-haired mercenary practically winces at the unintentional pun...*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: THAT almost fucking injured me.
AngeloState606: *She's minding her own business at first, but her eye is caught by the tall cold man*
Lithaladhwen: (Tassi things.)
CGNakibe has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: <Kamos, of course>
Der DWSage: *Isn't cold-is just talkign about people that're cold.*
Lithaladhwen: *Tassi makes her way down the street with a handkerchief in one hand, cleaning blood from under her fingernails.*
Lithaladhwen: (I get such a perverse joy from the fact that she would need to do that.)
Lithaladhwen: *nods in greeting to Kamos*
T3chn0Namagomi: (GRAH. THAT would suck)
Der DWSage: >_> I think that some people would notice...here, I'll ask random people on the street! If he's been through here, I'm sure he'd stand out.
T3chn0Namagomi: *nods back in response to Tassi*
Arch mage144: *accompanying the healer today is a somewhat taller man with an enormous wingspan and long dark hair*
Arch mage144: (Darin.)
AngeloState606: *Raises an eyebrow at the winged fellow*
AngeloState606: Hmm...
Der DWSage: *Looks to Zyvanna!* Miss! Have you seen a man, about yay high, with an aura of chilliness about him? He'd probably be, y'know, cleaning blood off his clothes.
AngeloState606: <.<
Der DWSage: *DRIPPING with sarcasm, he is. :{*
Lithaladhwen: *discreetly puts away the handkerchief*
Der DWSage: <_<
AngeloState606: I'm sorry to say that I have not, sir. >.>
T3chn0Namagomi: So, how's the medic work been going?
Arch mage144: That was a very complicated surgery, Tassi.
Der DWSage: *WHAPS the hatted man in the back of the head, knocking off said head covering* Sorry. He's just cranky because I haven't let him rest.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs* Definitely. We'd been planning it since yesterday, though... so at least I knew what I was getting into. *OMGZ Baronian accent*
AngeloState606: Oh, I see. Well, perhaps a nap will do him some good
Lithaladhwen: Thank you for putting him into stasis for me. It helped knowing he wouldn't bleed out while I was working.
T3chn0Namagomi: Stasis?
Lilly the Skull has entered the room.
Der DWSage: *Grumbles, picking up his hat* And whose idea was it to go through the stupid forest to the south?
Arch mage144: Um...yes...temporal stasis.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Should I ask what kind of medic work requires that kind of stuff?
Der DWSage: If it hadn't been for the Druid, we would've been lost for ages.
Der DWSage: It's not MY fault you have no sense of direction, mister 'well-travelled Bard.'
AngeloState606: Forest to the south, eh?
AngeloState606: *Chuckles*
Arch mage144: Well...even routine work is...much less complicated...when the patient's biometrics are frozen.
AngeloState606: Run into a bit of trouble there?
Lithaladhwen: *tired nod*
Arch mage144: There is...less stress involved.
Syra Zemyla has entered the room.
Syra Zemyla: (Yay!)
Lithaladhwen: I only wish it were possible with births.
Der DWSage: e.e We were lost. For two. Days.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
AngeloState606: *Grins* Well, lucky you found a guide, hmm?
Arch mage144: *blinks*
Lithaladhwen: Doesn't work that way, though. If the mother's body is frozen, she can't help me get the child out.
Der DWSage: Very lucky. ^_^
Lithaladhwen: Unless of course there are problems and... you know what. I'm rambling.
Der DWSage: His lion nearly ATE me.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...wouldn't accelerating it help get it done with faster?
Syra Zemyla: (Location?)
Der DWSage: (Streets.)
AngeloState606: Lion? Really? You have a lion? Where? In your pouch?
Lithaladhwen: You probably don't need to hear about pulling babies out of women. Either of you. *shrug*
Der DWSage: Oh hush.
Der DWSage: The Druid had a lion companion-it wasn't much trouble, really.
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. I've seen worse things.
Der DWSage: But Valward here thinks that 'sniffing' is exactly the same as 'mauling.'
Arch mage144: It tends to be...very hard on living things to increase the rate in which they experience time.
Arch mage144: *at
AngeloState606: I see....well, perhaps I should introduce myself.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Color)
AngeloState606: *Bow-curtsy* My name is Zyvanna.
Der DWSage: *Grumble, grumble*
Syra Zemyla: (Right. Now to select a character.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh...why am I not surprised. *smirks*
Arch mage144: A mother is already under tremendous stress from the rigors of...parturition.
Der DWSage: ^_^ I'm Llyra, and the vocalist is Valward.
Lithaladhwen: ... *puts a hand to her head* Not to mention the child.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Thankfully, Deeum has stated she has NO interest in having kids
Der DWSage: *Tips his hat* Charmed, and tired.
AngeloState606: *Smiles* Pleased to meet you.
Arch mage144: Indeed...children have delicate metabolisms, and accelerating them carries great risk.
Der DWSage: <.< You should've grown up on a farm.
Der DWSage: Then you wouldn't be so wimpy.
Lithaladhwen: At any rate, I think I'm ready to at least sit down for a while.
AngeloState606: So, what brings you to Doma?
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. This is why I stick to jobs that relate to killing things...
Arch mage144: *nods* You...deserve a rest.
Der DWSage: Blood fued.
Der DWSage: *Sigh*
AngeloState606: Blood feud?
AngeloState606: *her forehead wrinkles*
Der DWSage: There's a man that killed my children. Normally, I'm not much for vengeance...
Der DWSage: But I'm going to take this pitchfork and turn him into a popsicle.
Der DWSage: *Brandish of emphasis!*
Lithaladhwen: *chooses to ignore Kamos' comment and smiles at Darin instead. Usually a better choice, anyway.*
Der DWSage: It wouldn't have been so bad if he'd given them quick deaths, either. But he didn't just kill her children...he killed quite a few villagers as well.
Lithaladhwen: All right then. Any ideas?
Der DWSage: Perhaps we should explain a little better.
AngeloState606: What was his namE?
Der DWSage: We don't know. He never gave it.
Arch mage144: Ideas?
Arch mage144: You mean, as to where to sit down?
AngeloState606: ...describe him, if you please?
Lithaladhwen: *smirks* Well, yes. Any suggestions?
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, there's always one of the random bars. I'm feeling generous.
Der DWSage: The same I asked you about before. About seven, seven and a half feet tall, covered in blue hair, and has some sort of icy aura.
Arch mage144: Um...*looks around* The ground is not...a particularly comfortable option...there are benches...and, yes...there are...bars...
AngeloState606: *Her expression goes blank*
AngeloState606: IM: Oh dear...what's his name...I wonder if that has anything to do with his amnesia...
Lithaladhwen: Feeling generous, Kamos? I figured you were busy hunting down other humans and shooting them. *shrugs* I'll take any option at the moment.
Der DWSage: You see, Llyra comes from a small community of farmers somewhere to the east...
Arch mage144: *ruffles wing feathers*
Der DWSage: Not big enough to be a town, not small enough to be an outpost. Just...a quiet place.
AngeloState606: You are correct; that is a very distinguishable description...
Der DWSage: I lived there for a while. It was nice and quiet.
AngeloState606: *Is listening*
Der DWSage: ...And one day, damn near the middle of the night, this guy simply comes into the building where everyone sleeps and starts killing people.
Der DWSage: The sentries were dead outside, and inside was panic.
T3chn0Namagomi: *smirks* I have a hard time actually doing my work in an effective manner with the fucking Guard forcing me to work in a far less efficient manner.
Der DWSage: I only survived because I hid underneath the floor.
AngeloState606: *Raises an eyebrow*
Der DWSage: ...Loose floorboards in the closet. I tried to get others in, but it was chaos.
Lithaladhwen: Well, then. If, despite your occupational woes, you are interested in having a drink with us, I've got little reason to object.
Arch mage144: The Guard interferes with your work? *blink*
AngeloState606: Well, uh *clears her throat* this is quite a large city...
T3chn0Namagomi: Yes, it does.
Der DWSage: And I was doing a little...er...moonlight gardening.
AngeloState606: Moonlight gardening
AngeloState606: ?
Arch mage144: Oh, I see...
Der DWSage: *Sigh*
Der DWSage: She was screwing someone in the fields.
Der DWSage: *BLUSH*
AngeloState606: *Grin*
Lithaladhwen: May as well say they interfere with mine by protecting people who'd otherwise need to be healed.
AngeloState606: No need to blush, deary...
Arch mage144: How...how do they do that? Do they arrest people you have been hired to kill?
AngeloState606: Was it good, at least? *wink*
Der DWSage: He was half your age, too.
T3chn0Namagomi: They expect me to leave decisions to the enemy's fate, regardless of actions, up to the courts or whatever.
Lithaladhwen: *hmphs*
Arch mage144: *wing-assisted shrug* I...see...
AngeloState606: Oh, what's age but a number...
Der DWSage: *No comment!*
T3chn0Namagomi: Which means letting someone who has not earned any of the power he possesses decide on what happens. e.e
Der DWSage: <_< Anyway. She's come down here for a blood fued.
AngeloState606: I've been to bed with men less than half my age...
Der DWSage: I've come down here because it's something to do.
Arch mage144: You do not think that the law enforcement of this country has...earned its authority?
AngeloState606: *Which is curious because she looks barely twenty, but, mkay*
Syra Zemyla: (Heck with it. I choose Valerie because she's easy to play.)
Lithaladhwen: I believe he's referring to the king.
Der DWSage: (Nama totally tempts me to bring in Kali again.)
Arch mage144: Oh...
Arch mage144: General Silvar has expressed...a very interesting opinion regarding that subject...
AngeloState606: Well, perhaps the two of you should let a room in an inn and spend a few days.
AngeloState606: That way, you'd have more time to cover all of Doma.
AngeloState606: As I said, it is a large city, indeed.
T3chn0Namagomi: The king has not earned his authority. He gained it by simply being born--as opposed to having acquired his own power by his own means.
Der DWSage: Yeah, but I think it best if we just moved on.
Der DWSage: It's a big city-and I doubt he's been here.
T3chn0Namagomi: Anyway. Bar. Alcohol.
Arch mage144: He once said that, "a king is not chosen to be king by the people...but a king who is not respected by his people will quickly lose his authority."
Der DWSage: I guess we'll check in with the law enforcement to see if he's been around...but I doubt it.
Syra Zemyla: (Hmm? You're going to a bar? That makes things kind of easier.)
Arch mage144: I believe the idea was that even if people do not choose their leaders in a monarchy, they still have revolution as a mechanism to remove poor ones.
AngeloState606: Perhaps that would be a good idea...
AngeloState606: >.>
Der DWSage: (I belatedly realize that AM's colors are the same as Llyra's.)
Der DWSage: (Change-u!)
Lithaladhwen: (Poor Darin. 'Tis true. Also, Shakti needs to meet Kali sometime, for obvious hilarity to ensue.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *starts off in the direction of the nearest bar* Maybe so. Then again, I don't respect any government in which one's specific bloodline is the sole determining factor of whether or not they are in the top echelons of the government
Der DWSage: Hmf. I still think he'd do it just to throw us off...
Der DWSage: We nearly had him, too.
Arch mage144: Um...okay.
Lithaladhwen: Many things depend on privileges and gifts not specifically earned.
Der DWSage: Please. He was half a league away, and I don't think a brick would've done serious harm to him.
Arch mage144: *shakes his head*
Lithaladhwen: How did you earn your ability to use magic, Kamos?
Der DWSage: You were off by a mile, too.
AngeloState606: A brick?
Lithaladhwen: Or that pretty face of yours? Or anything else you've got?
T3chn0Namagomi: I taught myself as far as the magic goes.
Der DWSage: e_e I think he would've gotten his head crushed. It was a big brick.
AngeloState606: You hit him in the head with a brick?
AngeloState606: ...in the head?
Der DWSage: She tried.
Lithaladhwen: You still had to have a natural aptitude for it.
T3chn0Namagomi: And you think that I do nothing as far as looks go? My hair does not look this good in the morning, I'm telling you.
AngeloState606: So...you missed?
Der DWSage: It kinda glanced off.
Lithaladhwen: (Lag test.)
Arch mage144: But...magic is impossible without a natural affinity, and that is something you cannot be given, only...born with.
AngeloState606: *she seems interested*
AngeloState606: Meaning?
Der DWSage: *Takes his hat off, and simply sweeps it over his head* It didn't really connect, it just glided -over- his head.
Der DWSage: And then he bolted.
AngeloState606: I see...
AngeloState606: <.<
T3chn0Namagomi: Are you sure about this--wouldn't it be possible for a powerful enough enchantment to infuse one with magical power??
AngeloState606: And you've no idea why anyone would want to attack your village?
Der DWSage: Oh, I know why.
Der DWSage: >_> He needed the food. He raided the pantry after he thought everyone was taken care of...
Der DWSage: Damn if he didn't eat every bite.
AngeloState606: Food? That's it?
Lithaladhwen: Theoretically, yes. It's how I received mine, in a way. But then, I doubt investiture from a goddess is quite as common as being born with the ability to use magic.
AngeloState606: So you think he was desperate?
Der DWSage: *Nods*
Der DWSage: He didn't have to kill everyone, though.
Arch mage144: Even if so...would an effective revolt not make someone king?
AngeloState606: I agree...
T3chn0Namagomi: Unless that someone annihilated the monarchy in place in favor of a different form of government.
AngeloState606: IM: I really should stay out of this...
Arch mage144: That...is...that is...
Der DWSage: Mm. Plus, he's done the same to two other farming communities we passed...out of the way places, to be sure, but he killed everyone there, took the food, and vanished.
Arch mage144: ...*frowns a little*...totally off-topic, hypothetical, and not relevant.
AngeloState606: So...he came from the south?
Lithaladhwen: *covers a laugh with one hand*
Der DWSage: Kind of hard to tell.
Der DWSage: We've been tracking where he's going, not where he came from. But yeah, the last place was southeast of Doma, and the trail did go through the forest.
AngeloState606: But...you said your village is to the south, didn't you?
AngeloState606: IM: If they're from the south, I wonder if it's a coincidence...
Der DWSage: East. A little bit south, but mostly east...I think. Valward's been keeping the map.
Lithaladhwen: *They reach the bar because Ashley is impatient*
Arch mage144: *BAR GETTO*
AngeloState606: *Purses her lips*
Der DWSage: More or less.
Lithaladhwen: You know... I've been in a revolt. Sort of, I mean.
Arch mage144: *looks around for an appropriate place to sit* Miss Tassi, what would you like to drink?
Lithaladhwen: It was hardly my project, but I was there while it was taking place.
AngeloState606: Well, is there any thing else you need for me to do?
Lithaladhwen: I... oh, whatever white wine they've got. I'm in no mood to be picky.
T3chn0Namagomi: Inborn magical aptitude is different from being a leader of a nation simply because of who fucked your mother, basically.
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. Sake here.
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
Der DWSage: Point us to the nearest guard outpost, I suppose. And a good Inn. And for the heck of it, a good bar.
Der DWSage: Because damn if I'm going to go through three more days of this sober.
Der DWSage: I SAID I was sorry for drinking all the beer, alright?
T3chn0Namagomi: (Right)
Lithaladhwen: *blinks* That's an interesting way to phrase it. Though I'm not really in a mood to compete over which of us has earned what we've got by doing what and-or whom to get authority over what abstract thing.'
AngeloState606: *Chuckles*
AngeloState606: Well, there is a good one just a ways away.
AngeloState606: I'll lead the way...
Der DWSage: Please do. ^_^
Der DWSage: IM:I wonder if I can get away with hitting her upside the head for being too chipper.
Lithaladhwen: I could say that there's only a difference of degree between manipulating magic because of inborn talent, and manipulating people because of born status.
T3chn0Namagomi: *smirks* You just made me think of the most ridiculous idea.
AngeloState606: *Leads them to the closest tavern, with her lute propped up onto her shoulder as usual*
Lithaladhwen: Do share.
AngeloState606: What'll you have? I'll make the order for you?
T3chn0Namagomi: The king being chosen by whose name is drawn out of something containing the names of all the people in the nation
Lithaladhwen: (I'm going to hold on until Brian installs a new battery in his computer.)
Der DWSage: *A following they go!* Meh. Anything with alcohol, and something with meat in.
Lithaladhwen: (Should be another minute or two.)
Der DWSage: Sounds good to me.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yeeee...)
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah. Hopefully this whole "resetting" thing his laptop has been doing for months will stop with a new battery.)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
AngeloState606: *Nods happily*
AngeloState606: *Leaves them at a table while she approaches the bar keep and orders two turkey legs, two ale's, and a glass of wine for herself*
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Arch mage144: .....
Lithaladhwen: Kamos... I'm assuming you don't believe in fate.
Syra Zemyla: *Also in the room, at a different table, is Valerie.*
T3chn0Namagomi: Not really.
Lithaladhwen: *glances over at Darin* How sad. I do.
Lithaladhwen: At any rate.
Arch mage144: *cocks his head to one side curiously* Yes...at...any rate.
Lithaladhwen: Without that, I doubt you'd understand the meaning behind anything that depends on random chance.
Der DWSage: (A moment, apologies.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Or, say, the ruler being determined by...*barely holding in laughter* a swimsuit-mandatory talent competition
T3chn0Namagomi: (</Nadesico reference>)
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow* How...how does one's appearance in a swimsuit affect their quality as a ruler?
Arch mage144: The two seem...largely...uncorrelated...
AngeloState606: *Returns to the table with the beverages*
Lithaladhwen: *laugh*
T3chn0Namagomi: That's the POINT! *bursts out laughing*
Lithaladhwen: IM: When Darin gets impatient with your logic, you've reached new heights of disconnected thought.
Arch mage144: Um...I...believe I am not quite educated enough to be clear on the point, then...
T3chn0Namagomi: It's the same way with magical aptitude--doesn't matter who you are, doesn't matter who your parents were.
Syra Zemyla: Hm? Why wouldn't their ability to rule be affected by how they look in a swimsuit?
Lithaladhwen: I'd thank you to speak for yourself, thank you. *sips her wine*
Arch mage144: I...actually do not believe that that is the case.
T3chn0Namagomi: The common case is that you either have it or you don't.
Lithaladhwen: And. Why are you fixated on this?
T3chn0Namagomi: Because I haven't had alcohol today yet.
T3chn0Namagomi: *snrks*
Lithaladhwen: Well. Carry on, then. *shooing motion*
Arch mage144: Perhaps many people have the same problem that you do, and they cannot be satisfied with the current political administration...without consuming alcohol.
Syra Zemyla: (This is Kamos, right?)
Der DWSage: (Back!)
Arch mage144: It would...certainly explain the high sales of alcoholic beverages in this country...
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
Der DWSage: *Takes his drink gladly, proceeding to get quite drunk*
AngeloState606: Where is it you're from again?
Der DWSage: Me? I'm from Nowhere, in the middle of Doma.
AngeloState606: That's where your village is?
Der DWSage: *Sips her drink more slowly!* Didn't you get anything for yourself, dear?
Arch mage144: So, Miss Tassi, what would you like to drink? A scotch, as usual? *blinks*
AngeloState606: *Holds up her goblet o' wine*
Der DWSage: *Nods*
AngeloState606: Indeed, I did. *smile, sip*
Lithaladhwen: A bit later, I think. If I have it now, I'll fall asleep where I sit.
Der DWSage: Oh, you mean Lyrra's village...hold on a moment.
Arch mage144: Oh...are you that tired?
Der DWSage: *Pulls out his harp...and pulls out a small piece of the wood. A rolled-up piece of parchment and a few gil pieces fall out!*
Lithaladhwen: I will be with that much alcohol in my system. I'd have to sit and magically detoxify myself to stay awake, and I think the energy expenditure there wouldn't help either. *chuckles*
AngeloState606: Oh! You play the harp!
Arch mage144: *scratches his head* It also seems to make consumption of alcohol...somewhat pointless.
Der DWSage: Hm? Yes, I do. I'm also a minor mage of sorts...
Arch mage144: Am I not correct?
Lithaladhwen: But a useful skill when I'm out with your insane archmage friend.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm still not satisfied with the political condition, mind you. *takes a drink out of the sake he ordered* I was just finding a reason to change the subject myself.
Der DWSage: Ha! Minor, he says.
Arch mage144: Ah...yes...
AngeloState606: Really? Well, have you ever tried to harmonize wit ha lutist?
T3chn0Namagomi: *and yes, Kamos is being an ass and drinking straight out of the bottle*
Der DWSage: You've got brains, even if you don't have the sheer power to go with it.
Der DWSage: *Shakes his head* Haven't had much opportunity.
Arch mage144: ...perhaps you should go back to your own country, Kamos, if you prefer its goverment...
Lithaladhwen: (Ohnoes. Tassi disapproves of his enthusiasm for alcohol! I hear a scolding coming on!!1!booze)
T3chn0Namagomi: Unfortunately, there's a conflict of interests involved.
Lithaladhwen: They won't have you?
T3chn0Namagomi: Not quite.
Lithaladhwen: *laugh*
Arch mage144: Oh, no! Have you been excommunicated?
T3chn0Namagomi: More that there's a few reasons that I don't want to leave.
Lithaladhwen: *head tilt* I see.
Der DWSage: (Kamos:See, there's this guy's gun I tried to steal...and that's how I learned to never try and shoot anything larger than me.)
Lithaladhwen: They must be rather pressing for you to stay in spite of all the complaints you can't seem to get past.
AngeloState606: I took harp lessons as a child...
T3chn0Namagomi: Deeum.
AngeloState606: But I rather favored the lute...
AngeloState606: My family didn't quite understand it; they all preferred the harp to any instrument...
Arch mage144: *waves down a passing server* Could I have a cup of black tea, please? *the waiter nods and heads off to fetch his beverage*
Lithaladhwen: *nod* That would certainly be enough for me.
AngeloState606: *Shoulder shrug* But, I'm different from my family in many ways, so having different musical tastes isn't that out of the ordinary.
Arch mage144: Deeum has no desire to go to Valth with you?
Der DWSage: *Spreads the map of Doma out, pointing where Doma is...and tracing back the red line to a spot, well, east-ish. It deviates from a straight line quite a bit, though-they seem to have been over quite a bit of the nation*
Der DWSage: To be honest, I only took it because my father gave it to me-and we were too poor to afford anything else.
T3chn0Namagomi: I wouldn't want to see what the hell would be done to her there if she did want to go.
Lithaladhwen: I see. Sounds charming.
AngeloState606: *Leans over the map and looks at where he is pointing*
AngeloState606: I see...
AngeloState606: Yes...
T3chn0Namagomi: Who the hell knows how the people would react to how she appears--who the hell knows how the people would react if she ever used anything related to magic.
Arch mage144: "Done to her?" *looks somewhat upset*
AngeloState606: *The two turkey legs finally arrive*
Arch mage144: You mean people in her country would try to harm her?
Arch mage144: *your
AngeloState606: Ah! Your dinner.
Der DWSage: *Huttah! Valward replaces both map and money in the harp before digging in!*
T3chn0Namagomi: I didn't even know magic existed until I managed to do something of my own will.
Der DWSage: *Farmgirl, on the other hand, tears into it ravenously from the beginning. She must've been starved.*
AngeloState606: *Watches the two famished travellers eating*
AngeloState606: O.O
AngeloState606: I'll..uh..order some more.
T3chn0Namagomi: As far as the knowledge base there goes, it does not exist.
Lithaladhwen: And since then?
AngeloState606: *Returns to the bar and orders six more turkey legs*
AngeloState606: *And, back at the table...*
AngeloState606: There should be more on the way soon...
Arch mage144: There really is nowhere for you, is there? *looks somewhat sad*
Der DWSage: *Nods, still tearing in. So is Valward. :{*
T3chn0Namagomi: Since then, I left.
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh...it's not so bad. Deeum lets me stay in her apartment.
AngeloState606: *Watches them, wide-eyed*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I suppose I can see how that would be hard on him. I remember trying to return to Riva. It wasn't home either.
Arch mage144: But you feel that the government here is oppressive to people of your vocation!
T3chn0Namagomi: Just one branch of it, really.
AngeloState606: *Sips her wine*
Der DWSage: *Finishes first, burping lightly as she puts the bone back on the plate* Ah...thanks much.
Arch mage144: Hm...*recieves tea, nods thankfully to the server, and drinks*
T3chn0Namagomi: The whole monarchy deal just irritates me. It's part of the guard that's the oppressive part.
Lithaladhwen: So, do the two of you plan to stay in Doma?
AngeloState606: My pleasure *blink blink*
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. Neither of us seem to mind staying here, and as far as I know, this is a decent "hub" of sorts for operations, location-wise.
AngeloState606: *Head shake* Ah! Um...there are more coming...*just as the other legs arrive*
AngeloState606: Ah! Here they are!
Der DWSage: *Finishes not long after!* I did mention that we were lost for days, didn't I?
Arch mage144: *nods slightly* It is...often referred to as the "crossroads of Igala."
Der DWSage: We got some fruit from the Druid...but he didn't have a whole lot to spare.
AngeloState606: I imagine...
Der DWSage: You just didn't eat because you thought the lion was trying to fatten you up.
Der DWSage: *Begins eating, at a more normal pace this time*
Lithaladhwen: I had an idea I'd end up here eventually, though I hadn't anticipated staying so long.
AngeloState606: *Chuckle* Certainly, a druid wouldn't allow his animal to harm another...
Besyanteo has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: It was a welcome surprise. One among many.
Arch mage144: *slightly reddens*
CGNakibe: (Sher: IM: Yess... just a few more apples... =^___,,^=)
Besyanteo: (I see you. >:-)
Arch mage144: Yes...well...perhaps someday you...might move on...as...originally intended?
T3chn0Namagomi: *notices the reaction, and smirks a bit* By the way, you two ever...
Der DWSage: I swear, he was trying to eat me.
Der DWSage: Oh hush and eat your food.
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* Hard to say. For now I'm happy where I am. *smiles*
Arch mage144: ...ever...what?
Lithaladhwen: Hm?
T3chn0Namagomi: Do I HAVE to say?
Lithaladhwen: *wasn't really listening*
AngeloState606: *Grin* Well, you're safe now...
Lithaladhwen: You and Hakaril. That is absolutely none of your business.
Der DWSage: o_o I'm not sure...lions are good at tracking.
T3chn0Namagomi: *laughs*
Arch mage144: ...*clearly still thinking about this*
Der DWSage: And the Druid said that he occasionally sends the lion into town for medicine when he's not feeling well...
Arch mage144: *it's quite possible that the half-celestial hasn't picked up the innuendo*
T3chn0Namagomi: Right, right. It really isn't any of my business.
AngeloState606: O.o
Lithaladhwen: Honestly.
Der DWSage: <_<
AngeloState606: You're perfectly secure, I assure you...
Der DWSage: He sends him with a note and a bell, along with a bird on his back.
T3chn0Namagomi: To be honest, I was just trying to get a reaction out of your friend there. *smirking*
Lithaladhwen: If I wanted to be interrogated about it, I'd have gone to have a drink with our Hakaril.
Arch mage144: *puts two and two together and simply turns a shade of crimson*
Der DWSage: Sorune explained it all to me. He does everything he can to make sure Sher'Khan isn't seen as dangerous.
Arch mage144: *this is accompanied by Darin's entire body glowing fiercely, as though he were a kind of biological light bulb*
Der DWSage: >_>
Lithaladhwen: *sigh* Well. There you have it. I assume we're all on the same page, now?
Lithaladhwen: (*LAUGHS*)
Der DWSage: *Sees the flourescent angel!* That's a new one on me.
Arch mage144: I...I...yes...I mean...NO!
Arch mage144: No! I could never!
Der DWSage: *Follows the glance* ...Yep.
Syra Zemyla: Wow. Now that attracts attention.
Der DWSage: *Then tears back into his leg*
Lithaladhwen: ...Never?
Lithaladhwen: *amused eyebrow raise*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm as bad as Kamos is.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Poor Darin.
Arch mage144: Well...I mean...um...
Arch mage144: IM: ...what is the correct answer!?
T3chn0Namagomi: *laughing his ass off before he takes another drink*
AngeloState606: *Sips her wine some more*
Syra Zemyla: Now how do you do that?
Besyanteo: (Darin: ... *goes blank and starts calculating pi aloud*)
AngeloState606: *She then leans back in her chair and holds her lute proper*
Der DWSage: *Suddenly, and out of nowhere, a lion leaps at Valward's face!*
Der DWSage: *...One of the plush variety.*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, don't worry about it, Darin. It's all right.
AngeloState606: *She starts to strum lightly on the strings as she stares at the ceiling*
Arch mage144: It would be...unjust...to take advantage of a woman like yourself. *still violently red, still glowing*
Der DWSage: YAUGH!
Der DWSage: *GIGGLES MADLY while Valward tears it off his face*
Lithaladhwen: *smothers a laugh with one hand* Darin. It's all right.
AngeloState606: *Snickers*
Lithaladhwen: I'm not worried you're going to... oh, whatever. That's not what we're discussing.
Arch mage144: *gradually ceases to illuminate the tavern*
Der DWSage: That was a gift from him. ^_^
Der DWSage: e_e;; That...wasn't funny, Llyra.
Arch mage144: ...oh...okay...
AngeloState606: *Chuckles some more*
Arch mage144: General Silvar has...made the suggestion at least once...I just...assumed it might not be a good idea...since...so far...his other advice has not...necessarily been so good on this subject.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
AngeloState606: Ah...but it's kind of adorable, don't you think, Llyra?
T3chn0Namagomi: Of course...it's not always the guy who makes the first move, you know. *to Darin*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm not discussing my potential sex life in a bar WITH KAMOS HERE.
Lithaladhwen: ...*facepalm*
Arch mage144: *sips tea wordlessly*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, filth. *facepalms again*
Der DWSage: *Takes the fallen kitty, patting it on the head. It's quite well-made!* Mm-hm.
Der DWSage: *GLARE, of Bardish might!*
Lithaladhwen: IM: What's alarming is that he's probably right. It will likely be me.
Arch mage144: IM: I...this is so complicated.
AngeloState606: *Strummity strum strum*
T3chn0Namagomi: It's a very real possibility, given your reaction to the topic, err...Darin, was it?
AngeloState606: IM: I need...sex.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Color)
Arch mage144: I...I plead ignorance!
Der DWSage: *Eat, eat, eat...and then cleans off his fingers, beginning to strum along*
Arch mage144: I am vastly unfamiliar with such things!
Besyanteo: (Darin: THE FIFTH! THE FIFTH! >_<)
T3chn0Namagomi: Come on. I'm just screwing with you!
Lithaladhwen: I-- I...... Kamos. Stop it. Leave him alone.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right, right.
AngeloState606: *Sighs*
AngeloState606: I should tell you...
Der DWSage: (Tassi:Screwing with...? *Gets out the video camera*)
Lithaladhwen: And for the record, I was married for what I guess was about twenty years before I died.
AngeloState606: I think I know who you are looking for...
T3chn0Namagomi: Died?
Arch mage144: IM: ...sometimes I totally fail to understand Miss Tassi's perspective on things like this...
Lithaladhwen: Don't mistake modesty for ignorance in all cases.
Der DWSage: I figured as much. I was waiting to get you drunk before I asked.
AngeloState606: I'm not that easily broken, I assure you...
Syra Zemyla: True. And immodesty isn't always knowledge, either.
AngeloState606: However, you should know...
AngeloState606: He's...well...
Der DWSage: Ever tried to deal with an angry mother?
AngeloState606: He's lost his memory...
AngeloState606: When I met him, he didn't know his own name...
Lithaladhwen: And yes. Died. I had a life before this one, a life which I remember in... well, in some cases a confusing lack of detail.
Der DWSage: >_>
Der DWSage: <_<
AngeloState606: He knows nothing about his past...where he's from...who he is...
Arch mage144: *nods slowly* This is...a very complicated subject.
T3chn0Namagomi: Unusual...
AngeloState606: I can't remember his name...
AngeloState606: Starts with a K...
Lithaladhwen: I was married. I had a son. They're dead, and as far as that life is concerned I am as well. I have a new life now, and it is one that I do not feel is any of your concern, Kamos.
Der DWSage: I'll make sure he remembers.
Lithaladhwen: Are we perfectly clear?
AngeloState606: *Squints her eyes*
AngeloState606: *Looks like she's concentrating*
Lithaladhwen: (Tassi: </scolding>)
Der DWSage: I might not make him into a popsicle if he's become an amnesiac...
Arch mage144: IM: It seems to me as though Kamos may be eternally opaque.
Der DWSage: But I'll make damn sure he knows what he's done.
AngeloState606: The few times I've run into him, I try to ask him questions about what may help him jog his memory...
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
AngeloState606: He just becomes frustrated and difficult to talk to...
Lithaladhwen: IM: Well. I don't know my son is dead. It's... easier to believe that sometimes, though. At other times... no. I am not descending into more brooding tonight. I won't.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I refuse. Conversation moving on, now.
Der DWSage: *Strums a few notes*
T3chn0Namagomi: So, I take it my presence here is currently unwelcome?
T3chn0Namagomi: If so, I'll leave if you desire.
Arch mage144: Not...necessarily .This is just...not...something Miss Tassi needs to discuss with relative strangers.
Lithaladhwen: Not your presence. Just you inquiries into our personal life.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs* Is anyone else hungry?
Arch mage144: *shakes his head* Honestly, no...though I can imagine you are, after all that hard work.
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. Would've eaten by now if I was.
AngeloState606: But, last I knew, he was working as a delivery-man...
Arch mage144: You seem...somewhat tired.
Lithaladhwen: Tired and irritable. I think that having something to eat may rectify one or both of these.
AngeloState606: Delivering goods that are temperature sensitive...
Der DWSage: Perhaps I should take another look into this, then.
AngeloState606: Medicine...food...
Arch mage144: *nods* What would you like? Order whatever you please...I can cover the tab.
AngeloState606: He seems...well...honestly; he seems harmless.
Der DWSage: Mm.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah, right. My part of the bargain. *tosses over a few gil to Darin*
Der DWSage: *Strongly considering this, while eating another leg*
Lithaladhwen: Well... *watches the money fly, slightly distracted*
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow* No, no. *pushes Kamos's money back at him* There is...no need for that.
T3chn0Namagomi: (I don't think Tassi ordered anything to drink, did she?)
Arch mage144: It is not as though we are...charging you for your company.
Arch mage144: *smiles just a little*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey, I said I was feeling generous.
T3chn0Namagomi: It's for the drink
Lithaladhwen: (She had a glass of wine earlier, but she didn't go for anything deeply alcoholic like scotch.)
AngeloState606: I can understand how angry you must feel...
T3chn0Namagomi: And for that matter, *tosses a few Tassi's way as well*
AngeloState606: But, I wonder...
Lithaladhwen: I'll just have one of those massive hamburger things with chips.
AngeloState606: If he knew what he did, if that would bring the rest of his memories back?
Lithaladhwen: Those are lovely.
T3chn0Namagomi: *keeps drinking from his bottle of sake*
Arch mage144: *motions to a waiter, and there is an acknowledgement of Tassi's order*
Lithaladhwen: (Kai's hungry, too. She'll be back in a tic.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (In other news, I am still Kenshinji.)
Lithaladhwen: (Back.)
Arch mage144: *incoming hamburger and fries, because Tassi's a Baronian*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Indeed!)
Lithaladhwen: *eats the fries first because women do irrational things like that*
T3chn0Namagomi: *chugs from his sake bottle a bit more*
Arch mage144: *sips tea and watches the irrational woman eat the fries first without honestly thinking about the fact that it's all that irrational*
AngeloState606: O.o
Lithaladhwen: So, Kamos. Have you ever seen a drunkard's liver?
T3chn0Namagomi: Not really.
Lithaladhwen: (Rooster Cogburn reference, go!)
Arch mage144: *cringes a little*
AngeloState606: Then again, if he was previously a cold-blooded killer by trade, if he would go spiralling down into that habit again...
Syra Zemyla: (So, Darin, have you ever seen a Turkish bathhouse?)
Lithaladhwen: It's lovely. I'll be sure to show you yours when it has to be removed and repaired.
T3chn0Namagomi: Then again, I'm not quite human anyway.
T3chn0Namagomi: Not anymore.
Arch mage144: Human or not, I...imagine that you still have a liver.
Syra Zemyla: Why? I don't anymore.
Lithaladhwen: (That to Kamos-tachi?)
Besyanteo has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Kai wins for a proper use of Japanese on the internet! :D!)
Lithaladhwen: (Yay!)
Der DWSage: (Be back in a bit, folks.)
AngeloState606: (k)
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. Don't they just have some sort of magic to deal with that?
Arch mage144: The body has limits, as I understand it...it can require fairly powerful magic to reverse some diseases, if they can be reversed at all.
Lithaladhwen: *nod*
Lithaladhwen: I hate the ritual-heavy shifts. But, someone has to do it.
Lithaladhwen: With many patients there's simply no other way.
Arch mage144: Your work saves many lives...I am certain that it is an appreciated service.
Lithaladhwen: *nod* Most people would rather not die. I'm inclined to respect that wish, and help when I can.
T3chn0Namagomi: Rituals? Eeeeee...
Arch mage144: *nods back* Yes...it is a most admirable goal.
Syra Zemyla: Hmm. Don't they have spells or rituals that make the person reborn in another body?
Lithaladhwen: I beg your pardon. Do I know you?
Syra Zemyla: No, but I've met Kamos before.
Syra Zemyla: How've you been?
T3chn0Namagomi: Right...I don't remember you at all.
Arch mage144: ...*blinks*
Syra Zemyla: So you don't remember when I just showed up and you were showing me your gun in the middle of the street?
Lithaladhwen: *eyebrow... look at it go*
T3chn0Namagomi: I don't remember.
Syra Zemyla: Am I the only one who remembers this stuff?
Lithaladhwen: He apparently does it more often than you'd anticipated.
Syra Zemyla: Hmmph. Anyways, I'm Valerie. Good to meet you all. *glances at Kamos* Again.
Arch mage144: IM: Perhaps the constant drinking has impaired his memory.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right. *nods*
Lithaladhwen: Tassi Wells. *nod* Good to meet you as well.
T3chn0Namagomi: (More like it's been three or four years. XP)
Arch mage144: I am...Darin Prentiss. *nods*
Lithaladhwen: (I met a woman named Karen Prentiss a few weeks ago.)
Lithaladhwen: (It was distracting.)
Der DWSage: (Back.)
Der DWSage: (And Ashley, I was dating an Ashley for several months. That was probably just as distracting. :{ )
Lithaladhwen: (Why so?)
Lithaladhwen: (Was this pre- or post-Kai?)
Der DWSage: (Because there was you, and then there was Dan's Ashley, and then there was ANOTHER Ashley. And post, I believe. I had trouble keeping you straight.)
Arch mage144: (I should hope Ashley distracted you from Ashley on the basis of Ashley being more local and therefore more important as far as your time than Ashley.)
Lithaladhwen: (Damn our primitive language and not having separate modes of address for past-tense-carbon and past-tense digital identities.)
Arch mage144: (Suddenly the name "Ashley" appears incredibly bizarre to me, probably a result of having it appear in print with such frequency.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yeah--it kinda happens with me whenever I see a word appear a LOT)
Lithaladhwen: *moves on to super awesome meaty main course*
Arch mage144: Is that good? *indicates the hamburger*
Arch mage144: (Y'know, the hamburger is named after Hamburg, Germany, which suggests to me that it would logically have another name, but this turns into "Common =/= English" semantics.)
Lithaladhwen: *nods with her mouth full since it would be impolite to answer*
Arch mage144: (Which ultimately turns into someone talking about how we can't make puns because it's another language and therefore the joke doesn't make sense or something.)
Arch mage144: Hmm. *appears to be debating whether or not to order one*
CGNakibe: (Everyone knows that Common = Dudbear >:{)
Syra Zemyla: (Well, puns that match would be uncommon, to say the least.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *chugs more of the sake bottle*
T3chn0Namagomi: (...)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...*kicks Zem for the bad pun*)
Arch mage144: *delicately finishes his tea*
Syra Zemyla: (*Flies off to the left* You used too much english!)
Lithaladhwen: *swallows* Excellent. This is just what I needed.
CGNakibe: (At random: Is it called Common because everyone commonly uses it?)
CGNakibe: (Or is it Common because the snooty nobles use something else?)
Arch mage144: (The former.)
Arch mage144: Glad you happen to be feeling better. *nods*
AngeloState606: (Fading...fast)
T3chn0Namagomi: Right then. I'm going to see if there's any damn jobs (*stabs Shaun*) available today. *gets up, taking the not-yet empty sake bottle with him. We can assume he paid*
Der DWSage: (Alright, back for real.)
AngeloState606: (Sorry, Sage...I gotta go)
Arch mage144: IM: Attempting to make a living purely on mercenary work must be...difficult. On one hand, this country seems to have no shortage of tasks to be done.
CGNakibe: (A serious question that was, with an answer that doesn't involve Pie or 42. >:{)
AngeloState606: *Zyvanna slaps some coins down on the table* I wish you luck in your endeavor...
Der DWSage: (*nods* Go ahead. I was planning to do the same, really.)
Arch mage144: IM: On the other, it seems somewhat...inconsistent.
Lithaladhwen: All right. I'd tell you good luck, but we'd both know I don't mean it. I can sincerely tell you to take care of yourself and don't get yourself killed.
AngeloState606: It is a complicated sitation...
Syra Zemyla: Have a good day!
AngeloState606: Farewell...
Der DWSage: *Nods* It is.
AngeloState606: *And out the door she goes*
Der DWSage: See you later. Perhaps we can play together someday.
Arch mage144: IM: But then...what have I done lately to support myself? *pondering*
AngeloState606: (Night Y'all)
Der DWSage: (Night.)
AngeloState606 has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Night!)
Der DWSage: (Obviously, Zyvanna needed sex. :{ )
T3chn0Namagomi: Right. *nods to Tassi* I won't be surprised if we likely do meet again.
T3chn0Namagomi: *then heads out*
Lithaladhwen: Surprisingly small town, isn't it?
Arch mage144: I hope you meet her with your body intact...
Lithaladhwen: Agreed. I can't really wish him success in his work, but I certainly don't want anything to happen to him.
Der DWSage: *After finishing the food and a little more good-natured bickering, Lyrra and Valward also leave the bar!*
Der DWSage: </Those two>
T3chn0Namagomi: </Kamos>
Arch mage144: *swallows* His cousin tried to kill me once...
Der DWSage: (Ah, it felt good to RP again.)
Arch mage144: ...at least, I believe it was his cousin...
Lithaladhwen: *drops her burger onto her plate*
Lithaladhwen: What?
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
Arch mage144: ...oh...did I never mention that?
Lithaladhwen: (You can't just say things like that!)
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
Der DWSage: (Sure you can. He just did.)
Lithaladhwen: You mentioned your problems with the Prandian government. You never gave names.
Arch mage144: (Darin can.)
Arch mage144: Oh...I...um...I...see.
Arch mage144: I...apologize for disconcerting you.
Lithaladhwen: Don't apologize. You shouldn't feel like you need to withhold information from me because it might bother me.
Lithaladhwen: It just.... startled me. That's all.
Arch mage144: *eyes down* Sorry...
Der DWSage: (...I'm so tempted to bring in Sher for some reason.)
Lithaladhwen: *smiles* You're apologizing again.
Arch mage144: ...sorry...
Arch mage144: ...oops.
T3chn0Namagomi: (...I do that all the time)
Lithaladhwen: *lays her hand over his* Don't worry about it. Really.
Arch mage144: Oh...okay. *still staring at his empty teacup*
Lithaladhwen: Darin? Are you going to get more tea?
Arch mage144: Oh...no. I think...I think I have had enough tea.
Arch mage144: *nods slowly*
Arch mage144: But it was good tea. *nods again*
Lithaladhwen: I'm glad. Well, I'm nearly done eating. What do you say when I finish we go take a walk? I'm feeling better after some food.
Arch mage144: *nods* Okay. I greatly appreciate walks in the evening with you. *blinks*
Lithaladhwen: *smiles* All right then. You willing to assist with the chips? I don't think I can finish them all.
Lithaladhwen: (Darin! Manly duty time!)
Arch mage144: *looks at the fries* Oh...okay.
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
Arch mage144: *there's something funny about Darin daintily shoving fried food into his mouth*
T3chn0Namagomi: (CHIPFRIES. THERE.)
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Or maybe frychips)
Der DWSage: (Chries?)
Der DWSage: (Or maybe Frips.)
Lithaladhwen: *finishes, with masculine assistance*
Arch mage144: Those are fairly good. *nods*
Lithaladhwen: Well. Glad to have some help in eating them. After a certain point I was more concerned with what I'd actually ordered than the side dish.
Lithaladhwen: Ready to go?
Arch mage144: *nods* As soon as you are.
Lithaladhwen: *heads out with a brief wave to Kamos' acquaintance, the ubiquitous Valerie*
Arch mage144: *rises and follows Tassi like a lost puppy*
Syra Zemyla: *waves back and smiles*
Syra Zemyla: *with that, she returns to what she was reading, which looks like a newspaper, probably because it is.*
Lithaladhwen: I have a question. Why do you still call me Miss Tassi? Have I been too forward in dispensing with honorifics?
Arch mage144: *walks alongside Tassi with one wing practically enveloping her protectively*
Arch mage144: Oh...I...had a momentary lapse!
Syra Zemyla: (And now I lurk.)
Arch mage144: I forgot that I should just call you "Tassi."
Lithaladhwen: *chuckles* Well, you should. It's not as though we're strangers. You know me better than anyone else here, and you're the only one who occasionally forgets to call me by my name.
Arch mage144: Sorry...I tend to be as polite as possible so as to avoid offending anyone.
Lithaladhwen: I know you do. I don't mind. But you shouldn't worry with me. Your chances of gravely offending me are probably much lower than you fear.
Arch mage144: That may be...*nods*
Arch mage144: It does not, however...totally stop me from being cautious.
Arch mage144: Certainly you...understand...the need for caution in delicate situations...
Der DWSage: (>_> I'm assuming they're outside by this point?)
Lithaladhwen: Well, certainly.
Lithaladhwen: (Yes.)
Lithaladhwen: It's just that... *for once Tassi's the one slightly at a lossI*
Der DWSage: (<_< Ah goodie.)
Lithaladhwen: I was away for so long on Regulus. Toward the end... it reached a point where I was... *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: I don't know.
Der DWSage: *The both of them see-and hear-something walking down the street opposite them!*
Arch mage144: You...you what?
Lithaladhwen: I didn't think I was coming back.
Arch mage144: *looks!*
Lithaladhwen: *also looks!*
Arch mage144: Were you worried that...you might not survive?
Der DWSage: *...It looks like a big cat. With a chirping bird on its back, and a bell around its neck. And a sandwich-style sign on its sides that says 'I am not dangerous!'*
Der DWSage: *...The kitty is not completely happy with all this. :{*
Lithaladhwen: *nods, slightly distracted by the cat*
Arch mage144: ...
Arch mage144: IM: ...what is that?
Lithaladhwen: It was... *is still distracted* ...the only thing that bothered me was that I.... what is going on?
Der DWSage: *Oh look. He's got a second bell around his tail that's whipping back and forth*
Arch mage144: ...is that a very large cat wearing a sign proclaiming its safety?
Der DWSage: *...And a small bag in his mane, clinking gently with vials*
Lithaladhwen: .....Yes.
Der DWSage: IM:=I swear, the moment I get back to Sorune, the first thing I'm going to do is tear out his throat with my tail. I'll find a way to do it.=
Lithaladhwen: Yes, it is.
Arch mage144: I...what is it doing here?
Der DWSage: =e_e=
Der DWSage: *Saunter, saunter*
Arch mage144: Aside from...sauntering.
Lithaladhwen: *shakes her head, for lack of a better response*
Lithaladhwen: I suppose if it's so plainly not dangerous, it's probably best not to worry about it*
Der DWSage: IM:=No, I'll do it with a well-placed glare. I'll find a way to glare at him so hard that it'll kill him.=
Lithaladhwen: *continues walking on their chosen route*
Der DWSage: *Practices his glare on the two as he walks by*
Arch mage144: ...
Arch mage144: If it...is indeed so safe...why is it looking at us that way?
Lithaladhwen: Well. That's rude. *Baronian disapproving mommy-glare in return*
Der DWSage: IM:=She's GOOD.=
Arch mage144: I think that the cat may dislike us. *looks somewhat saddened*
Der DWSage: *Approving nods to the two as he continues!*
Lithaladhwen: Nothing to be done about it. I'm sure I'd feel the same way in his situation.
Lithaladhwen: *now she looks surprised*
Lithaladhwen: *confused nod in return*
Der DWSage: (And there's the end of my RPing for the night! I just wanted to have a random Sher cameo. :{ )
Arch mage144: (He's a talking kitty. Kinda.)
Lithaladhwen: (Fair! And they bonded over glares.)
Der DWSage: (He's not talking. He just understands Common.)
Arch mage144: ...I am notoriously bad at understanding human emotions, much less feline ones...
Lithaladhwen: (He talks later as I recall. In second gen.)
Lithaladhwen: Oh... *takes his hand* You're better than you think.
Lithaladhwen: You're more human than you think.
Arch mage144: *handed*
Der DWSage: (In second gen, yes.)
Lithaladhwen: In fact...
Arch mage144: At least half, I suppose.
Lithaladhwen: You think some strange things in general.
Arch mage144: My physiology is almost completely human, from the perspective of a healer like yourself. Most of the differences are...arcane.
Lithaladhwen: I'm not talking about your physiology, Darin.
Arch mage144: Oh.
Arch mage144: You mean...my emotional state?
Lithaladhwen: Yes. You talk about "human emotions" like you're... so distant from humanity in general. I'm just inclined to disagree, that's all.
Arch mage144: Oh...well, I suppose you...are probably right.
Arch mage144: I...I have the same feelings as regular humans, I suppose...I just...try to contain them as best I can. *nods*
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: Why?
Arch mage144: I...I believe I have explained this in some fashion, but...it would be potentially somewhat...dangerous...for me to become too...emotionally charged.
Lithaladhwen: *holds back another long sigh for a moment... but gives up on the effort and lets it out anyway*
Arch mage144: Oh...I...I think I may be upsetting you...sorry...
Lithaladhwen: It's all right.
Lithaladhwen: I just have to wonder what you expect to do with your whole long celestial life if you try and spend the whole time not feeling anything. Why bother?
Arch mage144: *shakes his head* I just worry...that I might hurt someone.
Lithaladhwen: *turns around and points her finger in his face* Well, stop it. Some of us can take care of ourselves! Do you trust me to do that? Do I get any input in your decision to spend your life holding back all the time?
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: *wings droop*
Arch mage144: I...I...do you want to make input regarding my decision?
Lithaladhwen: *lowers her hand and crosses her arms around herself* Maybe I do. Is that all right?
Arch mage144: ...yes, it is.
Lithaladhwen: IM: It is unbearably difficult to do this to him, but I don't think he's going to get it otherwise!
Arch mage144: So...you think that I should be less...restrictive with my feelings?
Lithaladhwen: Yes. I do. Otherwise, why are we doing this? Any of it. Why am I here if you're determined not to let anything get to you?
Lithaladhwen: What's the bloody point of it all?
Arch mage144: Oh...no! Don't misunderstand!
Arch mage144: You...you...have had a great impact on...me...*swallows*
Arch mage144: I...I apologize if I...seemed to suggest otherwise. *lowers his head*
Arch mage144: I think that...well...I have met many people who have changed me...like General Silvar...and you have, too...but in a different sense...
Lithaladhwen: IM: I should certainly hope so.
Lithaladhwen: *slow nod*
Arch mage144: ...sorry...I...am not very good at...*reddens*...being in love.
Arch mage144: I have...very little practice. -.-;
Lithaladhwen: *sighs and pushes a strand of hair out of his face* Well, I... I'm here to help, I suppose.
Lithaladhwen: *pulls him closer and kisses him*
Lithaladhwen: (Take that, you.)
Arch mage144: *eyes widen from shock*
T3chn0Namagomi: (I need practice at being in love too, damnit!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I suck at it! XP)
Arch mage144: IM: Is this a normal thing to do when you're angry with someone!?
Arch mage144: IM: It's never happened that way before!
Lithaladhwen: (Tassi's not helping you, too. You're confusing her with Quinn, teaching the general populace how to love.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: (An odd mistake to make.)
Syra Zemyla: (Everyone needs practice the first time.)
Lithaladhwen: *pulls back* Well?
T3chn0Namagomi: (There needs to be instruction manuals. e.e)
Lithaladhwen: Are you going to let me help?
Arch mage144: ...um...
Lithaladhwen: (There are. It's called Cosmo.)
Arch mage144: ...is this...sort of thing...typical of your assistance?
Lithaladhwen: I wouldn't say it's typical. You might say you get special treatment. Or could, if you were interested in it.
Arch mage144: Oh...well...
Lithaladhwen: I help people every day, but you're not just anyone, and you know that.
Arch mage144: ...I might ultimately...appreciate special treatment. *still fiercely flushed*
Lithaladhwen: *smiles*
Lithaladhwen: IM: He gets so embarassed. It still hasn't stopped being adorable.
Arch mage144: ...I...just want...to make sure...you are happy.
Lithaladhwen: *tilts her head* Darin....
Lithaladhwen: *puts her arms around him again and another old accent slips out in her speech* That's the one thing that Ah don't ever want you to worry about.
Arch mage144: IM: ...that change of accent is always a little surprising. o.O
Arch mage144: Ah...okay...I have no reason to be worried, then...
Arch mage144: ...*appears to be thinking about the matter momentarily before embracing her with his wings and trying to be the one who initiates the whole "kissing thing"*
Lithaladhwen: *totally lets him know this is a good idea by reciprocating*
Arch mage144: *despite Darin's typical emotional restraint, he seems to be enjoying himself*
Lithaladhwen: *can't argue with progress.*
Arch mage144: *this sort of thing clearly has to stop at some point, giving Darin a chance to pull back and breathe appropriately*
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: ...that was...um...rather nice.
Lithaladhwen: That's how things are supposed to be. No holding back, all right? You have nothing to be afraid of. Not with me.
Arch mage144: *nods* Okay...no holding back. I...will try...
Lithaladhwen: *smiles* Good.
Lithaladhwen: I have a question.
Arch mage144: What is it?
Lithaladhwen: *slips her arm around his* Do I still need a pass to get into the castle if I'm with you?
GC130A has left the room.
Arch mage144: Um...no, you should be cleared for entry...I have access, after all...
Arch mage144: I can bring other people into the castle with me if I wish. *blinks* Do you have some business there?
Lithaladhwen: *smiles up at him* I might. After all. I have tomorrow off and I don't want the girls in the shrine tripping over me in the morning. Seems like as good a time as any to make a visit, doesn't it?
Arch mage144: *nods* Okay, if you want to drop by, that should be fine...I can get someone to prepare quarters for you.
Lithaladhwen: *raises one eyebrow* It may not be necessary, although that depends on your own willingness to welcome guests.
Lithaladhwen: *calmly continues walking*
Arch mage144: But I only have...one...bed...*reddening again*
Lithaladhwen: *inspects her fingernails and doesn't deign to reply*
Arch mage144: ...though...it...is...a little big...for...just me...*illuminating the evening street like a lamppost*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Let's just tie him up and humiliate him all night! Forget electricity!)
Lithaladhwen: (I can't believe we still have lurkers!)
Lithaladhwen: (*waves to the lurkers*)
T3chn0Namagomi: (*waves back* Hello!)
Lithaladhwen: Well, then. As long as you think you'll have room. I wouldn't want to impose.
Arch mage144: I...think...I can...manage...
Syra Zemyla: (*also waves* Hi!)
Lithaladhwen: (Wow. More than one!)
Lilly the Skull: (Hullo!)
Syra Zemyla: (I can't believe he's not nosebleeding.)
Arch mage144: (He's not Japanese.)
Lithaladhwen: Well, it's settled, then.
Arch mage144: *nods* Yes...
Arch mage144: *off to the castle and things!*
Lithaladhwen: *and Things!*
Arch mage144: *with a capital T!?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *YAES!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *?*
Lithaladhwen: *things that likely don't need to be RP'd so, yes Things.*
Arch mage144: *oh dear*
Lithaladhwen: *pretty much*
Arch mage144: (I hope Tassi isn't one of those people who needs total darkness, because that's going to be impossible.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *End RP? Y/N*
Syra Zemyla: (*Save; New Game*)
Lithaladhwen: (Don't worry. She doesn't. She's much more comfortable with these things than she seems.)
Lithaladhwen: </RP>
T3chn0Namagomi: *eats parentheses and colors*
Lithaladhwen: *does so as well*
Arch mage144: Mmm, parentheses.
Syra Zemyla: *eats asterisks*
Lithaladhwen: The world is going to collapse when Hakaril finds out. And somehow...somehow he will.
T3chn0Namagomi: Because he's Hakaril.
Arch mage144: Somehow, yeah.
Arch mage144: You should expect this.
Arch mage144: He keeps a close eye on Darin.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah? How close?
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh! By the way--you finished that listing?
T3chn0Namagomi: Err, the parts you said you'd do, anyway
Arch mage144: Of weapons? With costs? Yeah.
Lithaladhwen: You didn't answer my question.
Der DWSage has left the room.
Arch mage144: Not as close as Tassi will presumably be to him.
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: Tassi: I should bloody well hope not.
Lithaladhwen: What she said.
Arch mage144: I agree with her, trust me.
Arch mage144: I finished it the other night. I have not addressed your other posts yet mostly due to time constraints.
Der DWSage: ...Should I ask?
T3chn0Namagomi: Right. Not surprised--I rambled. A lot.
Der DWSage: *Fixes*
Der DWSage: Also, *Ties up Tassi, ties him to a pole, completely naked* That should keep the city bright.
T3chn0Namagomi: But yeah. The LAST post is more of Doug Has Too Much Time On His Hands.
T3chn0Namagomi: Or, oh, wait. I'm Kenshinji now. Forgot. XP
Lithaladhwen: *shoots Sage in the face*
Der DWSage: *Shot, regrets nothing*
Syra Zemyla: Does... that... glow, too?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Zem, you've earned another kick.
Der DWSage: *Sniggers*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zem is kicked...by Eva 01 and 02. Simultaneously.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *In tune to music*
Der DWSage: Are they riverdancing?
T3chn0Namagomi: No, the giant robots are not riverdancing
Der DWSage: They should be. :{
Lithaladhwen: Shinji=/=Michael Flatley.
Der DWSage: On another note, I should make PS sheets of Valward and Lyrra both.
Syra Zemyla: But if Shinji = Michael Flatley, then who are Asuka and Rei?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: This proves that Zem truly IS incapable of reading.
Der DWSage: No, he's capable of reading. He just can't read math.
Lithaladhwen: Or possibly only basic inequalities.
Der DWSage: Or physics.
Lithaladhwen: What Sage said while I was lagging.
Lithaladhwen: Anyway.
Syra Zemyla: No, the = sign is an assignment operator.
Lithaladhwen: All things said and done.... I'm headed for bed.
Syra Zemyla: I'm setting Shinji to Michael Flatley.
Lithaladhwen: Bedways is rightways.
Syra Zemyla: Have fun.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Gendou Ikari does something vague and sinister. Shinji immediately deos not equate to Michael Flatley*
Lithaladhwen: Glad that RP happened. New characters from Sage is always groovy.
Der DWSage: =D
Der DWSage: I had ulterior motives, but huttah!
T3chn0Namagomi: *does
Lithaladhwen: So. Good night! I disconnect now, and take my rest where I find it. Namely, the bed right behind me.
Lithaladhwen: </Kai>
