BaronDeMalta has entered the room.
BaronDeMalta: !!!
AngeloState606: *Walking outside in the street, looking rather dishevelled and lost, is a certain pirate-lass who's been gone for quite a while...*
BaronDeMalta
: *( )
BaronDeMalta: (Locaaation?)
AngeloState606: *Her hair is messy and she looks like she's been crawling in dirt*
Syra Zemyla
: (Hold on, parental oppression.)
PapatymisonN
: *and coming towards her is a rather friendly blue-haired, redclad mage!*
PapatymisonN: *... no, not THAT bluehaired redclad mage... the OTHER one*
AngeloState606: IM: H-how...did I get here...
AngeloState606
: *blinks several times looks around*
PapatymisonN
: ... o.o Annie?
AngeloState606: *Looks in the direction of the name-caller*
PapatymisonN
: Er, Ms. Rose?
AngeloState606: *Blink blink*
AngeloState606
: (It is Cardinal right?)
PapatymisonN
: What... um... are you alright? o.o
PapatymisonN: (Yep.)
AngeloState606: Cardinal?
AngeloState606
: *blink blink blink*
PapatymisonN
: Uh huh...
AngeloState606: *She shuts her eyes tight and shakes her head and opens them*
AngeloState606
: *Her eyes fill up with tears*
PapatymisonN
: o.o!
PapatymisonN: *approach!* What's wrong?
AngeloState606: Cardinal...I was there...and now I'm here...*looks around*
PapatymisonN
: OK, OK, calm down...
AngeloState606: I was fighting...trying to get away...
PapatymisonN
: Uh... let's get you some food, alright?
AngeloState606: *Breathing hard*
AngeloState606
: I...I'm scared...
PapatymisonN
: ... c'mon. Let's go...
PapatymisonN: *takes her to the nearest bar*
AngeloState606: I escaped...after...after that. I got out the door...
AngeloState606
: He drug me through the dirt back inside...
AngeloState606
: *she's shaking hard, as if she were freezing*
PapatymisonN
: What? Annie, you're not making sense... *tosses his coat over her/
AngeloState606: *Looks around the room; seems very paranoid*
AngeloState606
: *whispers* There...there are so many people here....*pulls the coat around her shoulders*
AngeloState606
: Where...where's Bill? And Elan? o.o
Der DWSage
: <_<
Der DWSage: ...Is she alright?
PapatymisonN: I don't think so... can you go order her some water and a sandwich please?
PapatymisonN: I'll pay for it.
AngeloState606: *She sits and stares at Cardinal, almost not believing that she's there with him*
AngeloState606
: I...I am in Doma, right?
Der DWSage
: No need.
PapatymisonN: Yes, Annie, you are.
Der DWSage: *Goes to order the sandwich, and returns quite quickly with a glass and a pitcher*
AngeloState606: *The tears that were filling her eyes were now silently rolling down her cheek*
Der DWSage
: Yes miss. You're in Doma.
Der DWSage: <_< What happened to her?
Der DWSage: *Pouring that water and handing her the cup*
PapatymisonN: I don't know...
AngeloState606: *Takes the cup*
AngeloState606
: *Her hands are shaking so hard, the water is almost shook out of it before it reaches her lips*
Syra Zemyla
: (Bar?)
PapatymisonN
: (Aye.)
AngeloState606: *looks around, almost as if she's looking for someone in particular*
PapatymisonN
: Annie... what's the last thing you remember?
AngeloState606: I...don't know how I got here...
Der DWSage
: ...
Der DWSage: Here, hold on.
Der DWSage: *Takes the cup, gently tipping it to her mouth* You need something to soothe your nerves.
AngeloState606: *Drinks as best she can*
AngeloState606
: Thank you...*looks down at her lap*
AngeloState606
: The last thing?
PapatymisonN
: The last thing.
AngeloState606: *Her eyes travel to the ceiling and then she closes them*
AngeloState606
: I was there...in that horrible place...
PapatymisonN
: What horrible place, Annie?
AngeloState606: I was sitting in a chair...my wrists *she wraps her left hand around her opposite wrist* were tied tightly to a chair...I struggled...
AngeloState606
: He was...trying to make me drink something...but I wouldn't drink it...not since....
AngeloState606
: *more tears rolled down her cheeks*
AngeloState606
: So...he injected me...he was angry...
AngeloState606
: I had tried to run away...
AngeloState606
: I don't know where I was going to go...
AngeloState606
: I had almost made it to the ocean...and he appeared before me...like he always does...*bites her lip*
Der DWSage
: ...
AngeloState606: I was knocked to the ground and he dragged me back by my ankles...screaming...clawing at the dirt...trying hard to get away...
Der DWSage
: >_>
Der DWSage: *Goes to get that sandwich. Comes back with both it, and some good ale*
AngeloState606: Then...I was tied to the chair...and he injected me with something...
Der DWSage
: Here miss. You're safe now.
Syra Zemyla: *Into this bar walk two people. One of them is a young woman with black hair and blue eyes, wearing a blue-green dress.*
AngeloState606
: *Her hand travels to the pit of her elbow on her right arm*
PapatymisonN
: (IM: HEROIN! That bastard...)
AngeloState606: *A bruised dot is there as if a needle was forced into her skin*
AngeloState606
: Then...I was standing in the street...
Syra Zemyla
: *The other one is very pale, with platinum-blond hair and blue eyes, and she is wearing a bright red blouse and brown pants.*
AngeloState606
: And I saw you...*more tears*
AngeloState606
: O.O Have you seen Bill and Elan? Did they ever come back?
PapatymisonN
: Um... no... can't say I have...
Syra Zemyla: *They take a seat at a nearby table.*
PapatymisonN
: *has only a vague recollection anyways*
AngeloState606: *Nods slowly*
Der DWSage
: ...
AngeloState606: *Sees the sandwhich and ale*
AngeloState606
: *Picks up the sandwhich and eats it slowly, but doesn't touch the ale*
Der DWSage
: *Gives over the pitcher of water and the cup then-careful to fill the latter only half full, since she's probably still shaking*
Der DWSage: Er, I'm Valward. Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier.
AngeloState606: *Nod* Pleased to meet you, Valward...*eyes are averted*
PapatymisonN
: You are safe now, Annie. Nothing here to harm you.
AngeloState606: *Looks up at Cardinal and stares at him a few minutes*
AngeloState606
: ...Farida...
Der DWSage
: <_<;
AngeloState606: Did she have the baby?
Syra Zemyla
: *to the waiter!* I'll have a chicken sandwich and coffee. Nothing for me, thanks. ^_^'
AngeloState606
: *And a light goes on in her head*
AngeloState606
: Cardinal...can you take me to the Ashuran temple?
AngeloState606
: Maybe...Elan is there....*hoping against all hope*
PapatymisonN
: ... uh...
PapatymisonN: Yes, and alright.
Syra Zemyla: (BRB.)
AngeloState606
: *Peers over at Valward*
AngeloState606
: *Drinks her water, a bit more calmed now*
Der DWSage
: *Peered at*
Der DWSage: *Seems quite unmenacing*
AngeloState606: *She smiles a weak smile at him*
AngeloState606
: Thank you, uh, Valward, was it?
Der DWSage
has left the room.
AngeloState606: I'm so happy for you, Cardinal...
AngeloState606
: Did you have a boy?
Der DWSage
has left the room.
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Der DWSage: (Silly dial-up, interruptions are for...ah, screw it.)
PapatymisonN: His name is Juan Goffredo Ovidio Domingo Messiah. ^_^
Der DWSage: (What'd I miss...?)
AngeloState606: *Her eyes twinkle at him* I've missed Freddy so much...*sigh*
PapatymisonN
: AngeloState606: I'm so happy for you, Cardinal...AngeloState606: Did you have a boy?3
AngeloState606: (What was the last thing you saw?)
PapatymisonN
: (That.)
Der DWSage: ('Seems quite unmenacing.')
Der DWSage: (Shan got it.)
PapatymisonN: AngeloState606: *She smiles a weak smile at him*AngeloState606: Thank you, uh, Valward, was it?
PapatymisonN
: (That was before what I posted before.)
Der DWSage: (Anyway.)
Der DWSage: It's not a problem, miss.
Der DWSage: IM:I just seem to attract women with severe troubles, don't I?
AngeloState606: *Wraps her arms around her tummy as if she's not feeling well or something*
AngeloState606
: I'll be okay...
PapatymisonN
: Good.
PapatymisonN: Uh, tell you what, Annie.
Syra Zemyla: *talking to the other person at the table* I'm telling you, it's broken! It doesn't do what it's supposed to do!
PapatymisonN
: You stay here, and I'll go bring Elan back if he's there, alright?
PapatymisonN: ... and your house.
AngeloState606: *Lowers her eyes and nods*

Lithaladhwen
: (My internet and/or AIM blipped a bit. I'm still lurking, I promise. I'm totally here.)
Der DWSage
: (Kay.)
Der DWSage: *Quiet!*
Der DWSage: *Since, y'know. He doesn't really know this woman, and she's obviously already been freaked out*
AngeloState606: I...just don't want to be alone.
Der DWSage
: That's understandable.
PapatymisonN: *heads out*
AngeloState606: *Sighs*
Zero
has left the room.
AngeloState606: I'm sorry...
Der DWSage
: It's quite alright.
AngeloState606: It's...just a relief to be back...here.
Der DWSage
: *Begins tapping a quiet little tune* Yeah. Despite the war, a lot of people seem pretty happy here.
AngeloState606: I don't even know how long I've been gone...
AngeloState606
: It was the beginning of fall when I left...
Der DWSage
: ...It's nearing the end of summer. So almost a year.
AngeloState606: A year? It can'tve been that long...
AngeloState606
: We were sailing...that took a month or so...
AngeloState606
: Maybe it wasn't fall at all...
AngeloState606
: *head shake* Oh, I don't even know anymore...*she seems frustrated*
Der DWSage
: *Sigh*
Der DWSage: You need a good meal, a good rest, and a good drink.
AngeloState606: *nods*
AngeloState606
: I'm so thirsty...
AngeloState606
: I need...water...please...
Der DWSage
: *Taps his harp, hearing a reassuring jingle* I suppose I can provide for the meal. And I'll get you some more...
AngeloState606: *Nods and smiles weakly again* Thank you...
Syra Zemyla
: (Go ahead! Sell the harp! We'll all be better off!)
Der DWSage
: *Goes to get more food, and returns with another pitcher of water!*
AngeloState606: *Drinks the pitcher in almost one gulp*
AngeloState606
: *She really is dehydrated*
AngeloState606
: *Looks around the room again*
Der DWSage
: *Which he hands over to her* I ordered a turkey leg for you. I wasn't entirely sure what you'd like...
Der DWSage: >_>
AngeloState606: *sighs*
Lilly the Skull
: *sitting out of earshot is a short, red headed girl in white mage pattern robes, seemingly hiding behind a large book propped open on the table*
Der DWSage: I'll go and get another two pitchers then, shall I?
AngeloState606: *SCARFS down the turkey leg*
Der DWSage
: o_o
Der DWSage: You must've been starved.
AngeloState606: *Is too busy eating the turkey leg to respond*
Der DWSage
: Be careful not to eat too quickly.
Der DWSage: Some peoples' stomachs burst if they eat too much after starvation.
AngeloState606: *Burps, and then covers her mouth with a blush* 'Scuse me...
Syra Zemyla
: *meanwhile, they're still talking.* I still don't think that was what was supposed to happen.
Lilly the Skull
: *emerges, setting it down and stretches idly, still minding her own business*
Syra Zemyla: *And the white mage is closer to the two talking people than the table with Annie Rose.*
Syra Zemyla
: (I am God. I mandate the table assignments. :D)
Lilly the Skull
: (omg character control. :P)
AngeloState606: *Sighs as she finished her turkey leg*
GC130A
: (That just means that Zem rps the Maitre'd.)
AngeloState606: I know I'm not making a lot of sense...but...I just need to see my friend...
AngeloState606
: IM: Or ANY Ashuran priest, really...
Lilly the Skull
: *takes a sip of her drink and squeaks in disgust* Oh dear. My tea is cold.
AngeloState606: I just hope they're okay.
AngeloState606
: *She drinks more of her water and looks around the room again, this time noting the two people sitting at the table across the room and the red-haired mage*
AngeloState606
: *Looks over at Valward* Have you lived in Doma long?
Der DWSage
: Not long, no.
Der DWSage: Probably a few weeks.
Lilly the Skull: *hops off her seat and walks over, slowing to look at Annie*
Lilly the Skull: *gently* You alright there, love? You don't look quite in tip-top shape, I daresay.
AngeloState606: *Her eyes meet the mages, but looks away, as if ashamed*
AngeloState606
: I'm...better.
AngeloState606
: Thank you...
AngeloState606
: *sighs*
Der DWSage
: He shouldn't take long.
AngeloState606: *It's more of a sigh of relief really*
Der DWSage
: ...More water?
AngeloState606: *Nods slowly, please*
Lilly the Skull
: Righto. You're welcome, dearie. *then continues on*
Der DWSage: *Goes to get another two pitchers!*
AngeloState606: *She sits back in her seat, allowing the jacket Cardinal had offered her to slip off her shoulders*
Lithaladhwen
: (These things seem to have calmed down just a bit.)
Der DWSage
: (They have.)
AngeloState606: *She rested her arms at her sides and felt something under her belt*
AngeloState606
: IM: What's this?
AngeloState606
: *She pulled out whatever it was that was resting beneath her belt*
AngeloState606
: *She held it up in front of her face: it was a small book*
Der DWSage
: >_> Hm?
AngeloState606: IM: The book. Of course...*remembers when she found it and looks at the scar on her hand from the cut she received before retreiving it*
AngeloState606
: *She opened the front cover to the first passage of the diary*
AngeloState606
: *She read the first passage*
AngeloState606
: *And it said:*
Der DWSage
: ( :o Nama's on! I must GM! Away!)
GC130A: (!)
AngeloState606: (Have fun!)
Lithaladhwen
: (He's taking me with him.)
Der DWSage
: (Lurkers are welcome, of course.)
AngeloState606: *All that comes to my mind now is horror. This dark place…is evil. Why did I ever agree to let him help. Damn me. Damn you, Koravel.*
AngeloState606
: *I sit in this dank cell, and Maria…is somewhere else. He separated us. How many days have I been here?*
AngeloState606
: *He drugged me and I woke up in this hole. The last that I remember is being in my room with Maria on the ship. I sleep now. I can assume it is night; I am tired.*
Lilly the Skull
: *watches. She likes books*
AngeloState606: That bastard...
Der DWSage
: >_>
Der DWSage: *Waits for Cardinal to come back. C'moooon...*
AngeloState606: Will he stop at nothing?
AngeloState606
: *She bites her lip*
Lilly the Skull
: *shudders* IM: I reaaally hope that is a novel.
Syra Zemyla: (Hmm. Back from parental oppression again.)
PapatymisonN
: *The doors swing open.*
Syra Zemyla: (Maybe I should just lurk...)
Der DWSage
: <_<
Der DWSage: IM:Merciful heavens.
Lithaladhwen: (As much as I'd like to... read a book in-character.... I think I'm going to head off. Do you need me to keep a log for you?)
Syra Zemyla
: >_> >_>
AngeloState606
: (Sure thing)
PapatymisonN
: *but, it's not Cardinal that comes through the doors...*
AngeloState606: *Looks in the direction of the door*
Lithaladhwen
: (Okay. Will do.)
AngeloState606
: *Blinks*
AngeloState606
: Bill?
PapatymisonN
: *He's a darkhaired gentleman, wearing a white shirt, black pants, a green bandana on his head, and four swords about his waist*
PapatymisonN: ... by the gods...
AngeloState606: BILL!!
AngeloState606
: *Runs over to him*
PapatymisonN
: ANNIE! *rushes over and embraces her*
Der DWSage: >_>
Der DWSage: I do believe I'll bow out now.
Der DWSage: You two have fun.
PapatymisonN: I thought ye lost!
AngeloState606: *And if there ever was a glomp, this is the glompiest of all glomps*
Der DWSage
: *Vamooseky!*
AngeloState606: *Bursts into sobs*
Der DWSage
: (And I leave to GM! Because that's going to take all of my braen power.)
AngeloState606: I-I-I'm s-so glad you're o-o-kay....
Der DWSage
has left the room.
AngeloState606: I was s-s-so scared you were....you were....
PapatymisonN
: ME? I wasn't the one spirited away by some madman...
AngeloState606: *Doesn't speak now; just cries*
AngeloState606
: How long have I been gone, Bill?
AngeloState606
: How long has it been?!?
Syra Zemyla
: Well, at least there's a happyish ending.
AngeloState606
: Elan?? Where's Elan? Did he make it back, too?
PapatymisonN
: Aye!
PapatymisonN: I cannae find him, but he's alive and well, believe you me!
PapatymisonN: An'... when did ye get back?
AngeloState606: *Looks around the room again*
AngeloState606
: *She's so PARANOID...*
Lilly the Skull
: *goes back to her seat with her tea. And book* IM: Looks as if she has perked up a bit now. Ahh, reunions. *smiles*
AngeloState606: I've been back..for...an hour...*sniffles*
AngeloState606
: *there's a question in her voice*
PapatymisonN
: ... then it's been three months, Annie...
AngeloState606: Three months...
AngeloState606
: *sighs*
Lilly the Skull
: *finally looks over to the other two patrons sitting nearby and waves cheerfully*
AngeloState606: *Wraps her arms around her stomach again*
PapatymisonN
: What happened to ye? Look like ye've been through th'ringer...
AngeloState606: I really wish Elan were here...I...need to ask him something...
AngeloState606
: I'm trying hard to forget...*sniffles and forces a smile*
Syra Zemyla
: o_o *waves back* Hi! Come on over!
PapatymisonN
: Well, it dun matter. Yer back, 'n 'at's all that matters.
AngeloState606: *Nods her head* Oh...I'm so glad to see you...*glomps him again*
Lilly the Skull
: Uhh, are you addressing me? *looks around, then obliges*
PapatymisonN: I been lookin' fer ye every damn day...
AngeloState606: You've been looking for me?
AngeloState606
: Here?
Lilly the Skull
: *sits at their table, book tucked under an arm* Hullo!
PapatymisonN: ... he gave a note. e_e
AngeloState606: ....a note...*she says darkly*
PapatymisonN
: Said y'were back here.
AngeloState606: How polite of him...
AngeloState606
: *Closes her eyes*
AngeloState606
: I...want to kill him...so badly, Bill...
AngeloState606
: I've never wanted anything more in my whole life...
Syra Zemyla
: Hi there! I'm Nadina! *puts out a hand to shake*
PapatymisonN
: Ye'll get yer chance. I'll make sure o' that.
AngeloState606: But, I never want to see him again...if I see him again...I'm not so sure it won't kill me...
Syra Zemyla
: *sighs* I'm Mercy. It's good to meet you.
Lilly the Skull
: *shakes, bowing her head slightly* Tenzen. A pleasure.
AngeloState606: I...just...*puts her hands to her eyes * want to forget...want to...get these images out of my head...
PapatymisonN
: ... alcohol?
PapatymisonN: *grin?*
AngeloState606: As much as I'd like it...I think I need water...the most now...
Lilly the Skull
: *still craning her head to look at Annie, concerned*
PapatymisonN: Alright.
AngeloState606: IM: I want to tell him so badly...but...I know how he'll react...
AngeloState606
: IM: I just...need to keep this quiet...for now...
AngeloState606
: He, uh, wasn't exactly hospitable...*forces a laugh*
PapatymisonN
: ... I'd imagine.
PapatymisonN: ... we'll save talk of him fer later. When will ye be openin' up the shop again?
AngeloState606: *Nods* As soon as I can get over there...
AngeloState606
: I need a diversion...
PapatymisonN
: I think yer friend Freddy's been gettin' mighty antsy t'get back t'work now that 'er boy's born...
AngeloState606: I imagine it's been closed for a little while since the baby...*nods*
AngeloState606
: *Sighs* I can't wait to see him...*her eyes wander*
PapatymisonN
: 'Aven't met 'im yet, but I'm sure he's an 'andsome feller, judgin' from 'is parents...
AngeloState606: I agree, certainly...
AngeloState606
: *Her hand wanders over and touches Bill lightly on the arm*
AngeloState606
: ...sorry...just...making sure this isn't a dream...
Syra Zemyla
: *to Tenzen* Sorry, we don't really know much of what's going on with her. We weren't paying attention.
AngeloState606
: (I guess they sat back down at the table she was at previously??)
PapatymisonN
: (Sure.)
Lilly the Skull: That's alright. Neither was I, really.
Lilly the Skull: I thought someone said Ashura but I may have been mistaken.
PapatymisonN: ... I'm real.
PapatymisonN: Touch me all ye like, and I'll still be 'ere.
AngeloState606: *Smiles and nods*
AngeloState606
: *Looks over at the diary*
AngeloState606
: *Shakes her head*
PapatymisonN
: Whassat?
Syra Zemyla: Ashura? Isn't that a god? I'm not too familiar with the deities.
Lilly the Skull
: To be brief, the goddess of life, yes.
BaronDeMalta has left the room.
AngeloState606: It would seem...Koravel...makes a habit out of this...
AngeloState606
: *Hands the book over to BIll*
AngeloState606
: I've only just read the first passage...
PapatymisonN
: ... Hmmm.
PapatymisonN: ... and what is it, exactly?
AngeloState606: *Reads the first passage quietly to Bill*
Lilly the Skull
: What were you two discussing earlier?
PapatymisonN: ... oh... My oh my... 'at's ... 'at's somethin'.
Syra Zemyla: Oh, just a magic item we found. Nothing to worry about. *she looks kind of nervous*
Lilly the Skull
: Oh, do you have it with you?
AngeloState606: *She sits silently for a moment and reads the passage again*
Lilly the Skull
: I would love to take a gander at it.
AngeloState606: IM: Maria...
Syra Zemyla
: Uh... ^_^()
Syra Zemyla
: Here it is. *she pulls out a simple, off-white rod*
Lilly the Skull
: Oh, thank you kindly! May I? *holds out a hand for it*
AngeloState606: *Shrugs*
AngeloState606
: Indeed.
AngeloState606
: I haven't read anymore, yet...
Syra Zemyla
: Certainly. But it won't do anything right now.
PapatymisonN
: ... then that's fer you t'do.
AngeloState606: I wonder what his purpose was with these people...
Syra Zemyla
: It only works at night.
PapatymisonN
: I won' be gazin' int'yer past...
AngeloState606: Oh, Bill....
AngeloState606
: I'm...so glad you made it back here...
Lilly the Skull
: Oh? Pray tell, what does it do?
AngeloState606: I'm so glad you're okay...
PapatymisonN
: Th'boat's gone.
AngeloState606: *Her forehead wrinkles* What happened to it?
PapatymisonN
: Bloody storm outta nowh're...
AngeloState606: *Shakes her head* Koravel had to have been behind it...
PapatymisonN
: I figgered.
Syra Zemyla: Well, according to what it says, it should resurrect people. But for some reason it creates zombies instead.
AngeloState606
: *Sighs*
AngeloState606
: I...just want it out of my head...everything.
AngeloState606
: I want to go back to my shoppe...and I want for things to be back to normal...
AngeloState606
: *Drinks more water*
Lilly the Skull
: Oh my, that's not good. Have you... tested it often?
Lilly the Skull: *examines its aura astrally*
PapatymisonN: We c'n 'andle that, I'm sure.
AngeloState606: *Smiles at him; being around him certainly makes her happier*
AngeloState606
: *Looks at him and at his hands and sees the ring on his hand and remembers the day they met; she smiles*
AngeloState606
: IM: Oh, what I'd give to go back to that day...
AngeloState606
: Cardinal found you rather quickly; I imagine he had business to tend to...
PapatymisonN
: Aye. Plans 'n' whatnot.
AngeloState606: *Smiles*
PapatymisonN
: I'd been... hangin' around yer shoppe every day this time, so...
PapatymisonN: Wasn't hard ter find. <.<
AngeloState606: *Grins* Well, that's good to hear...
AngeloState606
: *She put a hand on her stomach again, almost instinctively*
AngeloState606
: I...am in need of a bath, I think...
AngeloState606
: *She brushes some of her tousled hair out of her face*
Lilly the Skull
: IM: She looks like she has lost...? Perhaps? Poor dear.
AngeloState606: (What kind of white mage is your character?)
Lilly the Skull
: (Former Ashuran priestess trainee. The holy healing kind)
PapatymisonN: (DEMONS IN THE BELLY OHNO!0
AngeloState606: (Then...she'd probably be able to sense something about Annie...)
AngeloState606
: (...goober.)
GC130A
: (Annie: ...now that you mention it, I wonder how they do taste?)
Syra Zemyla: (See, this is a problem. The people you're talking to are a necromancer and her undead friend. :D)
AngeloState606
: (*snicker* Like chicken, of course. EVERYTHING that's not chicken tastes like chicken. Duh.)
Lilly the Skull
: *softly* There is something about her, but I should not... look without permission.
Lilly the Skull: *doesn't mind!*
PapatymisonN: (Chicken itself tastes like Rush Limbaugh.)
AngeloState606: (Of course! Everything that's chicken tastes like Rush Limbaugh!)
Lithaladhwen
: (How do the machines know what tastee wheat tasted like?)
AngeloState606
: *Looks over at the mage and notices her looking at her*
Lithaladhwen
: (Maybe they couldn't think what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.)
AngeloState606
: (You're absolutely correct, Ashley. *tosses you a piece of home-made cheesecake*)
Syra Zemyla
: (The rod itself has an odd aura, life and death magic mixed together. It seems oddly tangled.)
Lilly the Skull
: *smiles at her* IM: Ah, what the heck. *focuses and checks*
AngeloState606: IM: I need to know; I'll go crazy if I don't...
Lilly the Skull
: *blinks and shakes her head* IM: I must be losing it. I didn't even sense it at first.
AngeloState606: So, have you been working or anything since you've been back?
AngeloState606
: *Trying to make idle conversation to keep her mind off of other unpleasant things*
Lilly the Skull
: *waves a bit, then nods to her* Congratulations, dear one.
AngeloState606: *Peers over at the mage again*
AngeloState606
: >.> <.<
AngeloState606
: Are you..talking to me??
Syra Zemyla
: What is it?
Lilly the Skull
: *nods* You did not know?
AngeloState606: Know..what?
AngeloState606
: <.< >.>
Syra Zemyla
: Neither Nadina nor I am good at examining auras.
AngeloState606
: *Looks over at Bill*
PapatymisonN
: *shrugs unknowingly*
AngeloState606: *Motions for the mage to come closer*
Lilly the Skull
: *to Mercy and Nadina* Excuse me a moment.
Lilly the Skull: *hops up and walks over to Annie, taking her hands and whispering* You have conceived, dear.
AngeloState606: *Her eyes open wide and she glances over at Bill*
PapatymisonN
: o.o
AngeloState606: *She rests her head in her hands with her elbows propped up on the table*
AngeloState606
: *Closes her eyes*
AngeloState606
: So my suspicions are acurate...*she sighs*
AngeloState606
: ....he has won...
Lilly the Skull
: Er... I apologise if I ruined the surprise. I thought you were aware of... eh?
AngeloState606: Can you tell...um...how long I am into it?
Lilly the Skull
: It has been a while, but... *nods and inhales, focusing*
Lilly the Skull: Going into the second trimester, I believe.
AngeloState606: ....So...that'd be three months??
AngeloState606
: ......
Lilly the Skull
: *blinks* Almost, yes.
AngeloState606: *Looks over at Bill again*
PapatymisonN
: ... waaaaaaaaaaaaaait...
AngeloState606: Is there anything else you can tell me? *looks back at the mage*
PapatymisonN
: Yer sayin...? o.o
AngeloState606: *Not sure what else there is to know, but is asking anyway...*
AngeloState606
: *This is some heavy heavy stuff...*
Lilly the Skull
: *nod* I will try. *closes her eyes and focuses again*
AngeloState606: *Puts a hand on Bills arm*
Lilly the Skull
: There are... oh my. Three. They are triplets.
AngeloState606: *Is aghast*
Lithaladhwen
: (That's always terrifying to hear, even under normal circumstances.)
AngeloState606
: *stammers* Th-th-three?!?
Lithaladhwen
: (In this case, is there actually an explanation for... for that?)
PapatymisonN
: ... how on Gaera did THAT happen? *looks at Annie peculiarly*
AngeloState606: *What follows would be the equivalent of someone running a finger over their lips making the "I'm going crazy" sound*
Lilly the Skull
: IM: Poor dear. *squints slightly* All boys, and... there's something else, I can't make it out...
AngeloState606: (Did she say that part out loud?)
Lilly the Skull
: (The second part, yes)
AngeloState606: Boys?
AngeloState606
: Bill....
Syra Zemyla
: o_o *w2Mercy* Remind me not to get pregnant anytime soon.
Lilly the Skull
: *nods and digs deeper* There is something else... Ow!
PapatymisonN: *has no idea what to say*
AngeloState606: Three....boys...
Lilly the Skull
: *rubs her temple* I do apologise, I cannot make it out.
Syra Zemyla: *w2Nadina* Okay.
AngeloState606
: Something else...
AngeloState606
: What do you mean there's something else?
AngeloState606
: What else could there possibly be?
AngeloState606
: *Is just as speechless as Bill*
AngeloState606
: IM: Three...boys...
AngeloState606
: IM: He said he only wanted one son! Why would he need THREE!
Lilly the Skull
: *bites lip, pondering* There is something strange about them. Each is different from the other, somehow.
AngeloState606: *Shuts her eyes tightly*
PapatymisonN
: Eh? 'Ow can 'at be? 'Ey're triplets, right?
AngeloState606: I...thank you. It's better for me to know, I think....than wonder...as I have been...
AngeloState606
: Is....is there a way...a way to find out what's different?
Lilly the Skull
: *to Bill* They are, perhaps I am mistaken. IM: I hope.
Lilly the Skull: Perhaps a more qualified priest or priestess of Ashura can help you. I cannot tell, yet.
AngeloState606: *Puts a hand to her forehead*
AngeloState606
: *Lets out a long sigh*
Lithaladhwen
: (You could borrow Tassi.)
AngeloState606
: Oh, Bill...
Lilly the Skull
: *reaches over and squeezes her other hand* I am sorry this troubles you both so. Is there anything I can do?
Lithaladhwen: (She's a priestess of Ishtar. Heap big healer type.)
AngeloState606
: *Smiles weakly at the mage and shakes her head* Thank you, again...
AngeloState606
: Bill...*she leans on his shoulder*
AngeloState606
: He...he did this...
AngeloState606
: I didn't want to say anything...
PapatymisonN
: ... how? e_e
PapatymisonN: How did he do this, Annie?
AngeloState606: I had suspected that I was...was...
AngeloState606
: How did he do it? *she looks at him coldly; her eyes fill up with tears as she remembers that night....*
AngeloState606
: He took it from me...
AngeloState606
: Made me helpless...
AngeloState606
: Made me watch...
Lilly the Skull
: *steps back from the two* IM: None of my business.
Lilly the Skull: *walks back to Nadina and Mercy* Phew...
PapatymisonN: ... dear gods...
AngeloState606: *Her lip twitches in anger*
Lilly the Skull
: This rod is rather curious. Wherever did you find it? *heart's not quite in it, though*
AngeloState606: You have no idea how hard I've been trying to forget that...that...THAT.
PapatymisonN
: ... get back to it, Annie.
PapatymisonN: No need t'be dredgin' 'at up any more 'n it has to.
AngeloState606: *puts her hands on her stomach*
AngeloState606
: *A tear runs down her nose* I just pray...so much...that some good will come out of this...
AngeloState606
: Can you believe...triplets...boys...
PapatymisonN
: ... no.
AngeloState606: *shakes her head* Me either...
AngeloState606
: But she said...
AngeloState606
: But...what could possibly be different...
PapatymisonN
: I didn' say t'weren't true. Jus' said I couldn' believe it.
AngeloState606: Where do I go from here, Bill?
Syra Zemyla
has left the room.
AngeloState606: Should I...try to find out more...
Syra Zemyla
has entered the room.
Syra Zemyla: (The sysadmin can bite me. >_<)
Syra Zemyla
: (I thought you couldn't freeze Linux.
PapatymisonN
: ... ye'll find out.
PapatymisonN: When th'time comes.
AngeloState606: I...just...he said something...
AngeloState606
: This doesn't make sense...
AngeloState606
: But after that...night...*shudder* he would do other things to me...like performing tests...or something...
AngeloState606
: I wonder...
PapatymisonN
: ... gah...
AngeloState606: Oh, Bill...I'm so scared...*she collapses onto his chest*
PapatymisonN
: Don't.
PapatymisonN: Don' think about it n'more.
PapatymisonN: ... not right now, anuhway...
Syra Zemyla: It was an old tomb, somewhere near Theice.
AngeloState606
: *sighs and sits back up*
AngeloState606
: I just don't know where to begin now...
AngeloState606
: I...suppose I'll just pick up life as normal back at the shoppe...
PapatymisonN
: ... what else can ye do?
AngeloState606: Nothing.
AngeloState606
: So...I guess this means no more ale or whiskey for me for a while...
PapatymisonN
: ... or rum!
PapatymisonN: No rum either!
Syra Zemyla: Maybe the fact that there was a skeleton holding it means something.
AngeloState606
: *grin*
AngeloState606
: Yes yes...no rum...*smiles genuinely at him*
Lilly the Skull
: Oooh, a tomb, you say? *turns it idly in her hands and checks it for enchantments*
PapatymisonN: ... shall I drink enough fer both o' us?
AngeloState606: *Grin* Now now...
AngeloState606
: You know how easily I can put away a bottle o' whiskey...
AngeloState606
: You drink THAT much and I'd hafta carry ya home...
PapatymisonN
: I'll do it AT home.
LovelyJester has entered the room.
Syra Zemyla: *It has an aura of oddly intermingled life and death magic.*
Syra Zemyla
: (How skilled are you at checking for enchantments?)
Lilly the Skull
: (She's... rank 8!)
AngeloState606: *laughs* That's probably a good idea...
AngeloState606
: (X!!!!!!!!!!)
Syra Zemyla
: *Ah. Then you would be able to tell that it's for animating and reviving undead.*
Lilly the Skull
: (Thanks, was going to ask)
AngeloState606: Bill...what's going through your mind?
PapatymisonN
: ...
PapatymisonN: Nothin'. o.o
AngeloState606: At all?
PapatymisonN
: ... ...
PapatymisonN: Yeah.
Lilly the Skull: By jove. *shudders slightly* Well... it is not quite to my tastes but if there is anything you would like to know about it, I could check for you.
AngeloState606: *Grins and shakes her head*
AngeloState606
: For the first time in a while, coffee sounds good...
AngeloState606
: ...wait...can I drink coffe? o.o
PapatymisonN
: ... don't see why not.
PapatymisonN: Though them boys may be bouncin' around in there...
AngeloState606: *chuckles lightly and orders a cup of coffee*
AngeloState606
: *Seems to have forgotten how filthy she is*
Syra Zemyla
: So what does it do?
AngeloState606
: How lond did it take you to return to Doma without the ship??
PapatymisonN
: Birds.
Lilly the Skull: Bit of an infernal thing. It is designed to... as coarse as it is to say, "revive" and reanimate the undead.
AngeloState606: (*long)
AngeloState606
: Birds?
PapatymisonN
: Birds.
PapatymisonN: Took us... some time.
AngeloState606: You mean...you rode a chocobo back to Doma?
AngeloState606
: *Raises her eyebrows*
AngeloState606
: You've more patience than I...that's for sure..
LovelyJester
: (PENIS!)
Syra Zemyla: Really? In the right... erm, wrong hands, it could come in handy.
AngeloState606
: How'd you survive the ship-wreck?
Lilly the Skull
: *looks between them* Either way, you should take care with this. It would not do to meddle in such affairs irresponsibly.
Syra Zemyla: I kind of think it's too late.
Lilly the Skull
: Eh? Whatever are you implying?
Syra Zemyla: We are currently on the run from the Theicean elders.
Lilly the Skull
: For taking this? Or... using it?
PapatymisonN: Sheer blind flippin' luck.
Syra Zemyla: No, for challenging their authority. We discovered this while we were hiding from them.
Syra Zemyla
: I'm pretty sure they would certainly want it.
AngeloState606
: Did you swim to shore??
PapatymisonN
: Aye. Barely made it...
AngeloState606: I suppose the lifeboat was destroyed, too?
Lilly the Skull
: Aha. Do they know of your current whereabouts?
PapatymisonN: ... ... e_e
PapatymisonN: That fat... bloated... son of a bitch windbag STOLE it!
Syra Zemyla: Probably not. We covered our trail quite well, we hope.
AngeloState606
: ....Benol??
Lithaladhwen
: (Zem. Are you masturb-arpeeing?)
PapatymisonN
: Benol. e_e
Lithaladhwen: (At that rate, why don't you just write a fic and call it good?)
AngeloState606
: *Laughs snidely*
AngeloState606
: Bloody bastard...
AngeloState606
: I don't believe it...
AngeloState606
: Maybe he got swallowed up by the sea...
AngeloState606
: I guess we'll never know...
Lilly the Skull
: Alright. Just be careful. *hands it back over* Do you require any assistance?
LovelyJester: *A drow man with pretty white hair saunters in,.....though not the one who you'd want about......this one wears furs and silks, and smokes like a run away contraption from valth*
PapatymisonN: Good riddance...
AngeloState606: *Her eyes travel over to the entrance*
AngeloState606
: Oh...no....
AngeloState606
: JUST what I needed...
PapatymisonN
: What? It's not... *looks*
Lilly the Skull: If you do I ca-... What the hell is that?
PapatymisonN: ... e_________e
AngeloState606: *Tries to hide in the corner...of course can't*
LovelyJester
: *spots Annie and twiddles it's fingers*
LovelyJester: Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarling!
AngeloState606: Oh...heaven...
LovelyJester
: *practically skips over, as mischief is ripe in the air*
LovelyJester: I should smite you good! Causing my dear little brother so much grief!
PapatymisonN: ..................
AngeloState606: 9.9 Hello...Amana...
PapatymisonN
: *seeeeeeeeeeeething*
LovelyJester: But being such a doll......
LovelyJester: *Flips his hair and takes a drag of his cigarette blowing it at Bill*
Lilly the Skull: *quietly* That's Amana? I... wow.
LovelyJester: I'll just go tell him your here! That'll be far more entertaining to watch than just plain old getting shit faced.
PapatymisonN: *STANDS UP* Why you... e_e
AngeloState606: *Appears to have shrunk about two inches*
AngeloState606
: No BILL!
LovelyJester
: *cackles*
AngeloState606: You know where Elan is??
PapatymisonN
: ...
PapatymisonN: *sits down*
LovelyJester: ........In the temple leading fertility rights with this adorable blonde priestess in training?
LovelyJester: Of course!
LovelyJester: *winks* Let me just tell him to go put on pants and scurry down here.
AngeloState606: No! I want to go to him!
LovelyJester
: *pouts* If you must.
Syra Zemyla: *Nadina's mouth falls open* *Mercy regards him more coolly*
AngeloState606
: *Narrows her eyes at Amana*
AngeloState606
: Why do you enjoy this so?
Lilly the Skull
: *dumbfounded*
Syra Zemyla: You know him?
LovelyJester
: It's cheaper than harlots, and somehow more fulfilling.
LovelyJester: *shrugs and disappears*
LovelyJester: *leaving a very foul whiff of smoke*
PapatymisonN: ... that bastard slash bitch. e_e
AngeloState606: *Waves a hand in front of her face*
Lilly the Skull
: *leans over and whispers* I have heard of he... she... it. *waves a hand* Whatever.
AngeloState606: *Sighs*
AngeloState606
: Why does she delight in this...
AngeloState606
: She has no idea...
AngeloState606
: Will you come with me, Bill?
PapatymisonN
: Sure...
AngeloState606: Thank you...
AngeloState606
: Um...*remembers the coffee she ordered*
AngeloState606
: IM: I forgot I have no money...
PapatymisonN
: ... I got it.
PapatymisonN: *puts money on the table*
AngeloState606: *Blushes and smiles at Bill*
AngeloState606
: Thank you...
AngeloState606
: *They exit the bar and head down the street toward the temple*
PapatymisonN
: ... t'weren't nothin'.
AngeloState606: *After walking for a few minutes they find themselves standing outside the temple*
Lilly the Skull
: *sighs* I hope that she is alright...
AngeloState606: *Looks over at Bill*
Syra Zemyla
: Um. That's freakier than some of the vampire fashions.
AngeloState606
: Will you come inside?
Lilly the Skull
: *smiles* Mildly put, Nadina. But accurate.
PapatymisonN: ... eh. Why not? Might get somma that "holy-ness" on me.
AngeloState606: *Grins and approache the massive fronts doors of the Ashuran temple*
Lilly the Skull
: Now, do you two need any help?
Lithaladhwen: (Night folks.)
AngeloState606
: (Night!)
Lilly the Skull
: (g'night!)
PapatymisonN: (night.)
Lithaladhwen: (I'll log and upload this one with the others. I didn't really anticipate much opportunity for more than two people to play, so I'm gonna go.)
AngeloState606
: *Looks around the ever-bustling Ashuran-temple, looking from face to face for Elan*
AngeloState606
: *Peers down the hallway*
AngeloState606
: IM: I don't even know where to start...
AngeloState606
: *Heads down the hallway and stops in front of a door and remembers what happened the LAST time she opened that door*
AngeloState606
: ....Certainly he won't be in there....
AngeloState606
: *Looks around for someone that might be able to help her find him*
PapatymisonN
: *a happy little bald man walks along the way...you may remember him...*
AngeloState606
: *She does indeed! But can't remember his name...*
AngeloState606
: You! *she points at him*
AngeloState606
: Can you tell me where Elan Il Bast is?
AngeloState606
: *She rushes up to him and grasps his shoulders*
PapatymisonN
: o.o
PapatymisonN
: Oh, yes indeedy... uh... Miss... Rose, is it?
PapatymisonN
: He's right this way... ^_^
PapatymisonN
: *goes off one direction*
AngeloState606
: Yes! *Smiles and laughs* Thank you!
AngeloState606
: *Follows him*
PapatymisonN
: (just a second.)
AngeloState606
: (K)
AngeloState606
: (You still there X?)
Lithaladhwen
: (Maybe she's decided to be a spectator as well.)
Syra Zemyla
: Hmm. Before you can help us, we need to be honest with you.
Syra Zemyla
: (Stuff is happening, I may be slow.)
CGNakibe
has left the room.
Lilly the Skull: *nods once* Yes?
PapatymisonN: (I doubt it, but ya never know.)
AngeloState606
: (*Sigh*)
LovelyJester
: (SORRY!)
LovelyJester: (parents.)
PapatymisonN: (We fergives ya.)
AngeloState606
: *STill following the little bald man*
LovelyJester
: *Busy cataloguing some tomes*
LovelyJester: *Decidedly NOT leading a fertility ritual sans pants*
AngeloState606: (XD)
PapatymisonN
: *leads the little brigade to the library!*
AngeloState606
: (*Mental picture, AHOY!*)
PapatymisonN
: There he is! Oh Brother Elan! You have company! ^_^
LovelyJester
: A minute a minute.
LovelyJester: *Doesn't look up and waves a distracted hand*
AngeloState606: *Is very relieved to see him alive and well*
PapatymisonN
: Y'might want to pull yer nose out of the books fer this one, Elan...
AngeloState606: *Walks up to him and puts a hand on his shoulder*
LovelyJester
: ......
LovelyJester: Praise Our Lady.
LovelyJester: *hugs Annie in a death grip*
AngeloState606: *Sighs relieved; sheds a few tears of joy*
AngeloState606
: It's so good to see you..
LovelyJester
: *quietly steps back, and the poor priest himself is teary eyed*
LovelyJester: Oh Thank Ashura.
AngeloState606: *Seeing this makes her tear up more*
LovelyJester
: I've been so worried!
LovelyJester: Come.
PapatymisonN: *sits back for this...*
LovelyJester: Both of you.
PapatymisonN: Eh?
LovelyJester: Tea.
PapatymisonN: Oh, uh... OK...
LovelyJester: Please Goddess, I need something to calm my nerves.
AngeloState606: I..I would never forgive myself if something happened to either of you...I'm so happy...
LovelyJester
: Thank you, Brother. *To the addlepated old priest*
LovelyJester: This way.
AngeloState606: *Follows him*
LovelyJester
: *Leads to his tiny bachelory chambers*
PapatymisonN: *Natrick steps out of the way and lets Bill and Co. go for tea!*
LovelyJester: *pulls out chairs for all three of them at his little table and clears it of books*
LovelyJester: *And goes and gets a kettle going*
AngeloState606: *Takes a seat*
OnlineHost
: LovelyJester rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
AngeloState606: *And, not realizing it, puts a hand on her belly as she was doing earlier.
AngeloState606
: *
LovelyJester
: *stands back and takes a hard look at Annie*
AngeloState606: *Looks at him*
LovelyJester
: I am so relieved I can barely stand.
AngeloState606: You can see it...can't you...
AngeloState606
: <.<
LovelyJester
: >.>
LovelyJester: It?
Syra Zemyla: Okay. We lived in Theice. But Mercy was dying of a blood-rotting disease, and all the healers couldn't do anything, I did the only thing I could, I...
AngeloState606
: v.v
LovelyJester
: *cocks his head to one side and takes a second look at her*
Syra Zemyla: I... killed her and raised her back as an undead, it was the only way to save her... *sobs once*
LovelyJester
: .....*Shuffles foreward and presses a hand gently on her stomach*
LovelyJester: Three.
LovelyJester: *Faints*
PapatymisonN: ...
AngeloState606: Elan!!
PapatymisonN
: Oh fer the love a...
PapatymisonN: WOULDJA WAKE UP! >.<
Syra Zemyla: Since the vampires in Theice don't like competition, they declared us anathema and we had to flee.
AngeloState606
: *Jumps over to him*
LovelyJester
: *Sits up and shakes his head*
LovelyJester: .....Sorry!
LovelyJester: So sorry!
LovelyJester: *Claps his hands over his face*
AngeloState606: *Covers her mouth with a hand*
Lilly the Skull
: *looks Mercy over* I thought as much... I am sorry.
LovelyJester: Ah.....uh.....
PapatymisonN: *covers his face in embarassment*
LovelyJester: Congratulations, Bill.
AngeloState606: .....
AngeloState606
: Bill?
Lilly the Skull
: Are they really so angry as to still pursue you?
LovelyJester: *Clears his throat and totters unsteadily over to the counter to finish fixing the tea*
PapatymisonN: Me?
AngeloState606: Elan...I've only been back for maybe a couple of hours....
AngeloState606
: I assure you...
AngeloState606
: Bill is not the father...
PapatymisonN
: An' I don' work THAT fast, anuhways!
LovelyJester: *Pulls out a bottle of vodka from behind his tea and pours himself a glass of that instead*
Syra Zemyla: Yes. If the common people knew that they did not have to be sheep anymore, that there was another route to immortality in undeath...
AngeloState606
: O.o
Syra Zemyla
: ...there would be massive uprisings.
Syra Zemyla
: *sniffles bravely and recovers*
AngeloState606
: According to the mage earlier...I'm just into the second trimester.... v.v
LovelyJester
: o_o But it is not me!
PapatymisonN: ... I'll have a bit 'o that...
Lilly the Skull: *nods* Indeed so. That is why maybe... this should be destroyed?
LovelyJester: *hands Bill the bottle*
LovelyJester: *He looks ashy blue and ghostish in his white robes*
AngeloState606: *Shakes her head*
PapatymisonN
: *fills it up to a good point*
AngeloState606: Don't you see, Elan...it was him...
LovelyJester
: *Hands Annie a cup of tea*
Syra Zemyla: *sniffles bravely* Oh, that has nothing to do with it. I used a ritual from a forgotten book.
LovelyJester
: .......*Drains his Vodka*
AngeloState606: *Takes the cup of tea*
LovelyJester
: I'll kill him!
PapatymisonN: *drinks his too*
PapatymisonN: ... know how?
PapatymisonN: *downs the "tea"*
LovelyJester: ........Something sharp and pointy as hell.
Syra Zemyla: I still have the book in my possession, because otherwise they would destroy it if they found it.
LovelyJester
: ......Barring that explosions.
LovelyJester: Or a festering social disease.
AngeloState606: *Laughs lightly*
Syra Zemyla
: Of course, we weren't thinking of the fact that they might catch us. Fortunately, they didn't.
LovelyJester
: OR all three.
PapatymisonN: At once.
PapatymisonN: ... with the same object.
Lilly the Skull: Ohh... goodness.
AngeloState606: I love you two...
LovelyJester
: Agreed.
LovelyJester: *Pours himself more vodka*
PapatymisonN: Something sharp 'n' pointy that gives ya the clap 'n' blows up in yer arse.
AngeloState606: ....I don't know what I'd do without you....
AngeloState606
: v.v
LovelyJester
: *passes the vodka back to Bill*
PapatymisonN: *GLUG*
LovelyJester: v.v Look what happened WITH us.
AngeloState606: But...Elan...the mage said...their was something....different...about each one...
LovelyJester
: This still happened.
AngeloState606: I...just can't help but wonder...
LovelyJester
: We did not.....protect you, Annie.
AngeloState606: You did what you could...
LovelyJester
: *Finishes his second glass and makes a face*
AngeloState606: I was foolish for wanting to go...
AngeloState606
: I don't know what I was thinking...
AngeloState606
: v.v
Lilly the Skull
: What are you going to do now?
Syra Zemyla: So... yeah. We're eventually going to have to face the elders, and we need to be as strong as possible.
LovelyJester
: He provoked you!
LovelyJester: He was stalking you!
PapatymisonN: An'...
PapatymisonN: He's a bast'rd.
LovelyJester: .....Bill, let's add glass, nails and hot tar in the mix somehow, as well.
Lilly the Skull: How will you do that? There must be another way. Perhaps I can research...
PapatymisonN: ... and LEECHES. Can' ferget 'em.
LovelyJester: .....I like where this is going.
AngeloState606: *Sips her tea*
AngeloState606
: *Stands and walks over to a corner of the room*
PapatymisonN
: ... didn' realize ye had... oh. Wait. Yer sis. THAT'S where y'get this from, I wager...
LovelyJester: ....We'll kill him. Then we'll make sure you're kids are okay.
AngeloState606: Yes...I want more than anything for him to suffer...
AngeloState606
: *Nod* I do hope that...that...
AngeloState606
: I hope they're not like him...
LovelyJester
: ......They inside YOU.
Lilly the Skull: There must be something else you can do. It is not necessary to fight if you have time to prepare.
PapatymisonN: They got you fer a mother. No way that'll happen.
LovelyJester: Exactly.
AngeloState606: I was...surprised that he sent me back here...
AngeloState606
: He told me of his plan...
LovelyJester
: With you for a mom, they'll be wonderful.
AngeloState606: He told me what he wanted...
AngeloState606
: I wonder why he is setting me free...
LovelyJester
: *Raises an eyebrow*
LovelyJester: What's this he wants?
AngeloState606: *shudders*
AngeloState606
: He....wants an heir. An heir that will join him in power.
AngeloState606
: Without one, he will die...
AngeloState606
: But with one, together, they will be invincible.
PapatymisonN
: ...
LovelyJester: .....We kill him afore the kids are born.
AngeloState606: I wish it were that simple...oh how I wish it...
LovelyJester
: And no one is invincible!
AngeloState606: I...don't care about myself anymore...I have a new priority...*she says laying a hand on her stomach*
AngeloState606
: But three....
LovelyJester
: You'll have help.
Lilly the Skull: I must go and read up on this. *resolute nod, then stands* I shall be around, Nadina, Mercy. I hope to see you again soon.
AngeloState606: Was this my bodies reaction? Or something he did?
AngeloState606
: If he did it...why?
LovelyJester
: What do you mean, why?
AngeloState606: *Shakes her head*
LovelyJester
: *confused*
AngeloState606: I...don't even know anymore...
AngeloState606
: This is all so bizarre...
Lilly the Skull
: Take care. *practically bolts for the exit*
LovelyJester: >.> What do you mean, bodies reaction?
AngeloState606: All I know...is that I want to make sure that Koravel never sees his son...
LovelyJester
: He told you why he impregnated you. Heirs.
AngeloState606: Yes, but he said one...he needed an heir.
LovelyJester
: ......Backups?
AngeloState606: 6.6 I don't know...
AngeloState606
: (You still with us, Cha?)
PapatymisonN
: (I'm here.)
AngeloState606: All I know so far is what the other mage told me...
PapatymisonN
: ... that they were... differn't?
AngeloState606: They are triplets. They are boys. But there's something different about them...
LovelyJester
: They all seem healthy.....
LovelyJester: *holds out his hand again, near her stomach, as if sensing something*
PapatymisonN: Whatcha got? o.o
LovelyJester: Three healthy boys. There's something, but I cant understand it.
AngeloState606: *Sigh*
LovelyJester
: This is not my speciality. I normally treat diseases or wounds.
AngeloState606: Perhaps we'll just have to wait and see when they are born...
AngeloState606
: (This way it'll be more of a surprise...)
LovelyJester
: ...OR I can schedule you to meet with one of the elder Brothers.
