6:51 PM
MajorGeneralTso:...Me thinks that could have gone better.
PapatymisonN:Hi.
MajorGeneralTso:....
Besyanteo:Yo.
MajorGeneralTso:...
MajorGeneralTso:...While Bes is here...
MajorGeneralTso:...How's Baron going?
Besyanteo:No one replied to my post asking for avaliabilities, so I've changed how Kobakk will be getting out of prison.
PapatymisonN:And that is...?
MajorGeneralTso:Kaaaay.
Besyanteo:... I thought we talked about this. You and I will have a private RP,
Besyanteo:and since you told me you're not avaliable till Christmas,
Besyanteo:rather, afterward,
PapatymisonN:Wait... how much time will it take?
Besyanteo:I planned to go ahead and tie that into events that will revolve around Trevor.
PapatymisonN:I may have more free time than I think.
Besyanteo:If I changed my plans and did it now?
Besyanteo:... *shrug* 20 minutes? Plus time for me to think up a layout of the prison.
PapatymisonN:Really? How's Saturday?
Besyanteo:Which I'll probably end up using a random dungeon generator for. And... Saturday... >.9
Besyanteo:Depends. I may be at a friends afternoon and evening that day.
Besyanteo:... Wow.
Besyanteo:Brian has proposed something I would never have thought of.
Besyanteo:in that new thread in Unspoken.
MajorGeneralTso:...That forum still exists?
Besyanteo:Yes.
MajorGeneralTso:Someone needs to grant me access in there...
Besyanteo:Bug Ashley.
Besyanteo:She's on.
Besyanteo:Heyo
Besyanteo:*Cancer free*
Lithaladhwen:Ja.
Lithaladhwen:Hopefully.
PapatymisonN:Ashley, ya wanna do another run? I think people like cancer.
Lithaladhwen:Sure.
MajorGeneralTso:...
MajorGeneralTso:...Whoa.  People came in.
PapatymisonN:I know...
FFFan80:=P
Lithaladhwen:Ja.
dragongurl4390:yo, peeps.
Besyanteo:?!
Besyanteo:*dances*
dragongurl4390:O.o
PapatymisonN:Whatever it is, I'm in. BRB
Lithaladhwen:Hey there, Lenore.
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:Never seen a name do that before o_o
Lithaladhwen:And hi there Oniichan.
FFFan80:And hello
Lithaladhwen:Oniichan, meet RPGWWers.
Lithaladhwen:Guys, Oniichan.
Besyanteo:... I've neer seen an email adress as a screen name before. o.o Hi.
dragongurl4390:Howdy. You must use iChat
blender_bunny@mac.com:Unfortunately.
dragongurl4390:Ashley, give the link you gave me
dragongurl4390:Adium
MajorGeneralTso:Hello.
Lithaladhwen:Lenore: What?
Lithaladhwen:aim:gochat?roomname=roleplayingcurescancer
Lithaladhwen:That?
dragongurl4390:No
Besyanteo:link to a chat program?
dragongurl4390:Yeah
blender_bunny@mac.com:Are we talking of Adium>
dragongurl4390:Yes.
blender_bunny@mac.com:I could use that, if I ever get around to installing it >_>
dragongurl4390:It's so easy to install. And it's awesome
Lithaladhwen:Oniichan, I've heard good things.
Lithaladhwen:Lenore, is it working out well for you?
dragongurl4390:Yes. Very, very well
Lithaladhwen:I was hoping it would minimize pain-in-the-assery.
Lithaladhwen:Anyway.
Lithaladhwen:RP.
Lithaladhwen:First gen, for Lenore, because I won't force her to play her characters' kids or some shit.
Lithaladhwen:Doma because it's easy.
Lithaladhwen:It's full of adventurers and public places.
Lithaladhwen:Does anyone have anything they'd like to do, because otherwise I'm playing Joss.
Lithaladhwen:Because the little firebug is bored.
FFFan80:Not at the moment
PapatymisonN:I'll play Card for him, unless that would be too distracting.
Lithaladhwen:He likes Card.
Lithaladhwen:Card will likely keep him from doing anything too painfully stupid.
Lithaladhwen:Readable for everyone?
Besyanteo:Half tempted to play Spark, to keep with the kid theme goin here.
Besyanteo:Yes.
PapatymisonN:Kay.
Lithaladhwen:Okay. Who's in?
Lithaladhwen:Roll call!
Besyanteo:Uncertain. Also:
FFFan80:Maybe, but I'd like to see what goes down first
PapatymisonN:Hoi!
dragongurl4390:Lenore and m,aybe Betsy and Haku. Betsy is new and I've yet to write up her sheet.
Besyanteo:This is a fun flash. Or pretty anyway! ... Because I've gotten it in the past: Please ignore the domain, most of you know I wouldn't link you foul things.
PapatymisonN:(The fonts, they are fickle.)
Lithaladhwen:(Yes, perentheses.)
MajorGeneralTso:(...)
Lithaladhwen:*Okay. It's evening in mid-Reshtara, and it's cold as a yak's balls like you'd expect.*
Lithaladhwen:*But people are out and about anyway for whatever reasons people have.*
Lithaladhwen:*There's a boy of about twelve hanging around a marketstand where a bunch of blown-glass figurines are being sold. He's haggling like a madman!*
Lithaladhwen:<Joss>
PapatymisonN:*Cardinal walks about in a thick red felt coat, black leather gloves, and a wool headband!*
PapatymisonN:*spots the little auctioneer!*
PapatymisonN:*heads on over!*
Lithaladhwen:No, I told you I'd give you five.
Lithaladhwen:I mean, jeez. You can see where it got too hot here.
Lithaladhwen:Guy: What the hell, kid? Cut me a break.
PapatymisonN:Hello, little friend.
Lithaladhwen:I am! I---Oh! Hi Cardinal.
PapatymisonN:*waves*
Lithaladhwen:How have you been?
Lithaladhwen:*totally isn't wearing a coat*
PapatymisonN:Good. Warm. ... you OK without a coat?
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, s'cool. Fire trick. Also an air trick, which is convenient.
PapatymisonN:Kay, I hoped so.
PapatymisonN:Oh, that reminds me. One of these days you need to teach me some tricks.
PapatymisonN:My own fire magic... sucks.
Lithaladhwen:...Uh... okay. It's a little different, but if you already know the mage way you can go ahead and transpose.
dragongurl4390:*Walks over to the stand, scales glittering in the halflight*
PapatymisonN:Trans...pose?
PapatymisonN:*thinks back to DPG training...*
Lithaladhwen:It's like music.
Lithaladhwen:Some instruments call a D a D, and some call it a B for no reason.
dragongurl4390:"Pain in the butt, that is."
PapatymisonN:Yes. Music, right. Always my weak suit.
PapatymisonN:*remembers singing off-key and not at all in Mass...*
Lithaladhwen:*looks up at scaly girl* Hi. I don't know you. Joss David Hunter. How are you?
dragongurl4390:*Looks down* "Lenore. I'm alright. How are you?"
MajorGeneralTso:(...<.<...)
Lithaladhwen:Well! Anyway. I don't think I'm going to buy anything. Are there cool things going on around? I haven't been in town for a couple days. Took some time off.
Lithaladhwen:Still boring big city full of people?
A Rockin SN:(What setting?)
PapatymisonN:(1st gen.)
MajorGeneralTso:(Doma.  Evening.)
MajorGeneralTso:(Cold.)
PapatymisonN:Always.
PapatymisonN:I was thinking of getting some cider... care to join me?
dragongurl4390:((Where there is cider, there is always Haku XD))
Lithaladhwen:Uh... okay.
PapatymisonN:Good! Let's go.
Lithaladhwen:Uh... um. Okay. Where do you want to go?
PapatymisonN:... Ivory Horn? *shrug*
PapatymisonN:Really, anything's better than freezing my nose off...
MajorGeneralTso:(...*Watches RP*)
Lithaladhwen:Uh, sure.
Lithaladhwen:(BRB food.)
PapatymisonN:(Y'know what? me too.)
MajorGeneralTso:(...;;;;>.>...)
Besyanteo:(HAY.)
dragongurl4390:((Horses.))
Besyanteo:(Who wants to see Doughnut Dragon Whelps?)
dragongurl4390:((O.o?))
Besyanteo:(Safe for work!)
Besyanteo:(... weird! Very weird!)
Idran1701:(...Well, I'm curious.)
Besyanteo:( http://fchan.hentaiplanet.net/src/c_1165289549450_doughnutwhelps.jpg )
MajorGeneralTso:(...That's kinda cool.  And weird.)
Besyanteo:(Bear in mind that the ones being eatten are actual doughnuts, hence why it's not been booted from Clean.)
Idran1701:(I agree with Tai.  Nifty, though!  And pretty good art quality, too.)
Besyanteo:(*nod*)
dragongurl4390:((Anything with "Hentai"in it is something I try to avoid))
Idran1701:(Nah, it's safe, Caroline.)
Idran1701:(Besides, Bes wouldn't surprise people like that.  That's End.)
Besyanteo:(Indeedy.)
A Rockin SN:(And it's illegal now!)
dragongurl4390:((That's CUTE!))
Besyanteo:(*Makes Dan illegal*)
dragongurl4390:((brb))
PapatymisonN:(I'm back.)
MajorGeneralTso:(...So you are.)
AngeloState606:(Howdy)
MajorGeneralTso:(Hallo.)
AngeloState606:(*Am late because I was shopping for tile...*)
MajorGeneralTso:(Tiles are good.)
dragongurl4390:((Yay, tile. BAck))
AngeloState606:(Indeed.  Especially when it's an emergency.  *grumble*)
MajorGeneralTso:(First Gen!  Doma, Evening.  Middle of the street and I believe the destination is approaching the Ivory Horn.)
dragongurl4390:((Whoa, I thought I was the only one who said "Howdy"))
PapatymisonN:(I say it too.)
AngeloState606:(It's the greeting of choice where I live.)
AngeloState606:(Because we're too lazy/not proper enough to say "how do you do?")
dragongurl4390:((Where are you from?))
AngeloState606:(Texas.)
dragongurl4390:((*Nodnod*))
PapatymisonN:(And I'm from Alberta, Canada's Texas analogue.)
AngeloState606:(*snicker*)
Besyanteo:( Highway Dragon )
Idran1701:(You have any Canadian cowboy-wannabes up there?)
PapatymisonN:(Yeah! All over!)
Idran1701:(Bes: Wow.  That's cool, that one.)
Lithaladhwen:(Back.)
Idran1701:(I'm not sure what this "turn things into dragons" concept spawned from, but it's really nifty.)
PapatymisonN:(WB.)
Lithaladhwen:(Okay, so who else is going to RP? We're headed to the IH for some cider.)
Besyanteo:(Actually in entirely unrelated threads. :o)
MajorGeneralTso:(I'm considering it.)
Besyanteo:(The highway dragon came from "TEchnology", the whelps form "Quality Art")
Idran1701:(I'm up for it here with J.G.  Haven't colored up yet, though.)
Idran1701:(Bes: *nod* Heh.  Still neat.)
dragongurl4390:((Haku and J.G. will be at the pub.))
Idran1701:(Oh, also, for those that haven't noticed yet; finally figured out how to fix up the wiki's URLs to look more Wikipedia-ish. :D)
Idran1701:(Should help its Google rankings some.)
Lithaladhwen:(Idran, I noticed and I appreciate it.)
Lithaladhwen:(Anyway. Roleplay. Shall we just say we're at the IH for simplicity?)
PapatymisonN:(Sure.)
MajorGeneralTso:(Gasp.  No RP of the walk?)
Lithaladhwen:*grabs himself cider with no booze in it because he doesn't roll that way, being as he's twelve*
AngeloState606:(I might be able to jump in)
PapatymisonN:*does the same, cuz he's a wimp*
dragongurl4390:*gorgeous Haku is sitting at the bar with a mug of cider*
MajorGeneralTso:(...IH have a tender?)
PapatymisonN:IM: Wow. She'd be hot if I weren't married.
PapatymisonN:(Go for it.)
Lithaladhwen:*is twelve and therefore doesn't care about sexy women*
dragongurl4390:((XDDDD))
AngeloState606:*A short red-haired woman sits at a table with a glass of mulled wine and strums out an airy tune on her lute*
Idran1701:*and J.G. sits next to Haku with his own mug*
dragongurl4390:"So, have I gotten you addicted to this stuff yet?"
AngeloState606:*Oh, she's an elf, by the way.*
AngeloState606:<Zyvanna>
Lithaladhwen:*sits down at a table* So, Card.
Lithaladhwen:You'll be happy to know I'm renting a place now.
PapatymisonN:Good!
Lithaladhwen:I lost my tent, and I had some money saved up anyways, so it wasn't a big deal.
Idran1701:Eh...wouldn't say addicted yet, exactly.  I'll admit it's not bad, though.
PapatymisonN:Oh, buddy, I was a HEARTbeat away from dragging you to my house.
PapatymisonN:A TENT is no place for a child!
PapatymisonN:At least not to LIVE in.
Lithaladhwen:I don't need to live in your house! And don't treat me like I'm a kid!
Lithaladhwen:I can take care of myself, you know.
Lithaladhwen:I've done crazy epic things in my day.
PapatymisonN:In your day?
AngeloState606:*Eyes the other patrons, hoping to have some decent conversation*
PapatymisonN:Are you twelve or twelvehundred?
MajorGeneralTso:(...)
Lithaladhwen:Yeah. It was like... six months ago.
dragongurl4390:*Laughs. IT's a  pretty chiming sound* Alright.
BaronDeMalta:(Place?)
MajorGeneralTso:(IH.)
AngeloState606:(IH)
PapatymisonN:Hey, I've done some epic stuff too, and even I need help every now and again.
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, well. I've had enough and now I'm cool.
PapatymisonN:Alright.
PapatymisonN:And just so you know?
BaronDeMalta:*A certain odd, white-haired young man walks in.
BaronDeMalta:*... Make that dances in.*
PapatymisonN:NEVER take your childhood for granted. Ever.
Idran1701:*smirks* I just hope this outing goes better than the other night here.
PapatymisonN:You'll miss it when it's gone, trust me.
Lithaladhwen:*smirk* No comment, man.
Lithaladhwen:That's a topic for when I'm old enough to drink over talking.
dragongurl4390:*Chuckles darkly* "Yes. Yes indeed."
dragongurl4390:*Walks in*
PapatymisonN:And by then it'll be too late. So nyeah. ^_^
dragongurl4390:*Sits somewhere*
Lithaladhwen:It's not important.
Idran1701:*glances about the room* More crowded tonight, for one.
AngeloState606:*Wanders over to the newly seated patron*
AngeloState606:Good evening to you.
PapatymisonN:Oh, Joss... I remember when I was a kid... things were SO simple. Tied up nicely.
dragongurl4390:*Looks up, folder her draconian wings* "Good  evening."
PapatymisonN:You got up, you got taught by Mama, you prayed, you prayed, you ate, you played, you went to bed.
PapatymisonN:Or something like that, I may be missing things...
Lithaladhwen:....Can I have your childhood? Because my young years involve a lot of dead people and brainwashing.
AngeloState606:Are you having a good night?
Lithaladhwen:Forgive me for not being all old and nostalgic yet.
PapatymisonN:... I can show you.
Lithaladhwen:*waves him off* Not interested.
Lithaladhwen:Childhood is being too small to be taken seriously unless you prove you're dangerous enough to keep an eye on.
dragongurl4390:"It's good to get in from the cold. Lukewarm blood, you know."
AngeloState606:O.o
Lithaladhwen:I'll be happy to be done with it.
AngeloState606:Indeed.
AngeloState606:*sips her mulled wine*
PapatymisonN:... *sigh* I guess you've made up your mind.
dragongurl4390:*Smiles slightly* "So, what's your name?"
Lithaladhwen:Believe me. I know what I'm talking about.
Idran1701:Hmm.  Looks like that friend of yours is here tonight too. *gestures over to Lenore*
AngeloState606:Zyvanna.
Lithaladhwen:Nobody actually gave a damn what I did until I started blowing things up. Now it's all, "Oh, Joss! How are you? Please don't kill me and my kids, okay?"
AngeloState606:Yours?
Lithaladhwen:Pfft. Stupid.
dragongurl4390:"Lenore."
dragongurl4390:"That she is."
AngeloState606:It's a pleasure.
PapatymisonN:I don't think you'll kill me, or my kid.
T3chn0Namagomi:(Characters in question?)
Lithaladhwen:So? Lot of people didn't think that.
Lithaladhwen:(Joss D. Hunter, ex-cultist extraordinaire.)
AngeloState606:It's a fine turn of the weather, don't you think?
Lithaladhwen:Doesn't mean shit doesn't happen.
dragongurl4390:((Lenore the Draken and Haku the Elf))
Idran1701:(J.G. McCormick, librarian from the National Library of Doma's Retrieval Unit.)
AngeloState606:(Zyvanna the Bard)
dragongurl4390:*Chuckles* "You could say that."
PapatymisonN:Maybe. But I don't fear you, Joss. Never gonna happen.
AngeloState606:*Grin* Do you not agree?
dragongurl4390:((Possibly Betsy the Shifter))
Lithaladhwen:You don't have to.
dragongurl4390:"Too cold. As I said, lukewarm blood. Fortunately not entirely cold blood or I wouldn't be moving right now."
Lithaladhwen:People really don't. But they would. I mean, there are certain parts of town I don't visit because people there really don't need to see me around.
Idran1701:So, have any interesting clients today?
Lithaladhwen:*fingerquote* Training exercises.
PapatymisonN:*nod*
AngeloState606:Ah.  You stated that already didn't you?  Pardon my forgetfullness.
AngeloState606:Well, perhaps a warm drink will do you some good?
dragongurl4390:"Indeed, that would be nice. Have you cider?"
PapatymisonN:Well, I'm still glad you're you, friend.
dragongurl4390:"Well, I have this new client who is quite a character, asking me to train his pet lizard."
AngeloState606:Me personally?  No.  Would you like for me to order some for you at the bar?
PapatymisonN:*claps him on the shoulder* You're a man in my book.
Lithaladhwen:That's a weird thing to say.
Idran1701:...Train a lizard?  To do what, exactly?
PapatymisonN:I say weird things. Can't help it.
Lithaladhwen:*blink* Well, uh. Thanks.
PapatymisonN:^_&
PapatymisonN:*^_^
MajorGeneralTso:(...For some reason I imagined a monocle there.)
dragongurl4390:*Laughs, a sound kind of like tumbling rocks. The Dragon blood, you see.* "Yes, that would be lovely. From the way you asked, I assumed you worked here."
Idran1701:(Card: AH, MY EYE!  WHO THREW THAT AMPERSAND?! e_&)
Lithaladhwen:I don't know. I'm thinking of moving. But then, I don't want to leave just because there are people around here I don't want to talk to or see.
Lithaladhwen:S'kind of why I came. To do it anyway. So I don't know.
dragongurl4390:"Sit, stay, come, roll over."
AngeloState606:*Chuckles* I understand the mistake.  Pardon.  I'll be back with some cider.
dragongurl4390:"I couldn't believe it myself."
AngeloState606:*Wanders up to the bar and orders the cup of cider and returns to Lenore with the hot cider*
AngeloState606:Here you are.  *sets the cup down*
PapatymisonN:Well, you're the blacksmith of your own destiny.
PapatymisonN:Forge it well.
Idran1701:...Wow.  Guess some people have a lot of time on their hands.  How well'd it take?
AngeloState606:I must admit, I've never met one of your kind before.
AngeloState606:Where are you from
AngeloState606:?
Lithaladhwen:I am a blacksmith! I can forge all sorts of stuff. Destiny is easy compared to locked gauntlets.
dragongurl4390:"Far away. I won't reveal where my kind live, for they are secretive. Please sit." *She takes the cider and sips it. "Ah, heavenly."
AngeloState606:Understood.  *takes a seat*
PapatymisonN:Well there you go.
AngeloState606:I do not willingly reveal where I grew up, either.
AngeloState606:Of course, I haven't been there for several years.
Lithaladhwen:How's your kid?
AngeloState606:What is it that you do in Doma?
dragongurl4390:"I am a runesmith."
PapatymisonN:Doing well. He's 4 months old now...
Lithaladhwen:Whoa. Cool.
AngeloState606:Hmm; and what does a runesmith do?
dragongurl4390:"surprisingly well. I was astonished."
PapatymisonN:Gosh, he's so beautiful...
Lithaladhwen:Is he a mage or what? Can you tell yet?
PapatymisonN:No clue. We'll just have to see.
dragongurl4390:"We make enchanted swords, jewelry, and so forth. It pays nicely."
Lithaladhwen:*nods* We had some kids back with the others. I--I mean little ones. There was a baby, but he was deaf and blind. You had to telepath him to get anywhere, so I didn't watch him much.
Lithaladhwen:My girlfriend at the time did. She liked him because he was lonely and kind of quiet. *nod*
AngeloState606:*nod* It must be invigorating to create works of art every day.
Idran1701:*nods* Hmph.  Well, at least it was a new experience for you, I bet.  Still seems kind of silly to me, though.
PapatymisonN:Heh. You seeing anyone else now?
Idran1701:...Of course, I could imagine training some of the larger lizards as guard animals.  That'd be creative, have to say.
dragongurl4390:"Oh, yes. And my work is truly artwork. I wouldn't have it any other way."
Lithaladhwen:Nah. I'm too young to really be tied down. We still write, though. She's at Gunnir.
dragongurl4390:"It would indeed be interesting."
Lithaladhwen:I don't have time for women. Maybe when I'm ready to settle down or something.
AngeloState606:Do you have a shoppe then?  Or do you have a booth at the market?
PapatymisonN:... man. You REALLY want to be an adult, don't you?
Lithaladhwen:What? I can't be running around with women when there's monsters to kill and people to rescue and all that junk.
dragongurl4390:"I have a small Shoppe. People get referred to me a lot."
Lithaladhwen:A woman would be distracting.
PapatymisonN:Eh. Leave her at home. You'll be fine.
AngeloState606:That's good that business is thriving.
Lithaladhwen:I think maybe I should look for a lady fighter someday. Somebody who understands guy stuff, like battle and weapons and victory and things.
PapatymisonN:Gotta get a girl who shares your interests...
dragongurl4390:"Indeed." *Smiles*
BaronDeMalta:(oops, haha, forgot)
Lithaladhwen:I met one before. I thought she and Stephan might be dating, but I guess not because they got really embarassed when I asked.
Idran1701:Things've been pretty slow at the library.  Not empty again, thank gods...a nice balance between swarming and boring.
BaronDeMalta:(Still IH?)
dragongurl4390:"That
PapatymisonN:Stephan Hyral? ... yeah, I'd imagine they would...
dragongurl4390:*"That's good"
Idran1701:(Yep.)
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* I haven't seen either of them since. I don't know what they're up to.
AngeloState606:Well, *props her lute up in the playing position* any requests?
PapatymisonN:*nods* So, how's business? You said you had saved up enough for your place?
Idran1701:Still trying to get the one recruit settled in.  Think they're finally getting the hang of the system here, haven't needed to reshelve nearly as much.
dragongurl4390:"Some adventure ballad, perhaps?"
AngeloState606:*nod* I know just the one.
dragongurl4390:"Good!"
AngeloState606:*Starts singing a song about a lone mercenary traveling in the Titan Mountains and all the adversity he faced in his travels*
Lithaladhwen:Yeah. It's good. I had enough saved up from before my tent bit it that I could put a down payment on this one place.
PapatymisonN:How much a month?
BaronDeMalta:*walks in! ... Lightly shaking ... a pair of maracas?*
MajorGeneralTso:(...Does Doma have Taxes on Property?)
Lithaladhwen:Why do you want to know?
AngeloState606:*Stops playing at the sound of the shake-shake-shaking*
Idran1701:(Can't imagine they wouldn't.  Most governments go with that sort of land pseudo-ownership in contract law.)
AngeloState606:O.o
PapatymisonN:Just curious.
dragongurl4390:o.O
BaronDeMalta:*shake shake shake!*
Idran1701:*glances over to the new entrant* ...Huh.
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* I can handle it, and have enough gil left over for food.
BaronDeMalta:(D, to those who know him)
PapatymisonN:That's a proper amount, then.
Lithaladhwen:Beyond that I can just wait for spring and get a new tent. Then I'll have extra money again. *nod*
dragongurl4390:She raises a delicate brow.
dragongurl4390:((oops))
BaronDeMalta:(No worries. Can be hard to switch. :p)
dragongurl4390:((You guys are just going to have to learn to live with my slips))
dragongurl4390:((this way is so difficult XD))
BaronDeMalta:(Sometimes I almost write "say" in front of my AIM messages. >_>-)
Lithaladhwen:(Nobody really cares.  It's okay. Hakuna matata.)
dragongurl4390:((XD))
Idran1701:(Yeah, don't worry about it, we can figure it out fine. :D)
Idran1701:(And if you really want to cover it up, you could make a character that always speaks in the second person. :D)
Idran1701:(*third)
Lithaladhwen:(Oh, god.)
AngeloState606:*glances inquisitively over to the shaker*
dragongurl4390:((XDDDD))
PapatymisonN:Can you make it a BIGGER tent? Something... with some size?
MajorGeneralTso:(...That sounds like a novel character idea.)
Idran1701:(Though second person would be interesting too...)
dragongurl4390:((XDDDD))
Lithaladhwen:Dude. I'm a small guy so far. I can handle a two-man tent.
Lithaladhwen:I just lost this one because I got in a firefight and it burned.
Lithaladhwen:I'll get another when it's warmer out.
BaronDeMalta:*breaks into a random beat, dancing around the tables shaking the maracas*
dragongurl4390:*Tempted to trip him*
AngeloState606:*Snickers*
PapatymisonN:Alright.
BaronDeMalta:*ends his short jig with a flourish, and sits down*
AngeloState606:(*Is amused*)
Idran1701:...*shakes his head, speaking with a lowered voice* There's always at least one strange one.
AngeloState606:Welcome, sir.  That was quite the performance.
dragongurl4390:*Laughs.* "It would seem that way.
BaronDeMalta:*now he's stopped moving... He's a tall fellow, around 6', kinda effeminate-ish human guy, with white dyed hair*
Lithaladhwen:I'm over at the Rocky Meade Lodge for now if you want to stop by. Not sure how long I'll be there. The innkeeper's wife is weird. She keeps knitting me things.
MajorGeneralTso:(White hair?!)
BaronDeMalta:(Ohhhh no. XD)
MajorGeneralTso:(I fear for your health, D.  <.<...)
BaronDeMalta:(D: AAAAAAARGH! *runs from a crazy afrod woman* XD)
BaronDeMalta:Muchas grazias, senorita. *to Zyvanna* *speaks with a heavy accent that shows he might have just exhausted his inustani knowledge*
dragongurl4390:((HAku has supernaturally white hair.))
BaronDeMalta:(Old woman: Ojiiiii-saaaaan...)
Lithaladhwen:(Joss is a human boy and his hair is brown. He's got like... Jim Morrison hair like the little preteen heartthrob he is.)
BaronDeMalta:(D: ;___; )
AngeloState606:*laughs again and continues her song where she left off, ending it on a bit of a sad note with the mercenaries adventure ending with a fatal blow issued by an opponent he could not match*
MajorGeneralTso:(When her tongue lashes out and cuts down a tree, That's when you start running D.)
dragongurl4390:*Sighs* "A sad tale.
BaronDeMalta:I liked my song better.
PapatymisonN:That's... kinda cute, actually.
Idran1701:(Human, dark-brown hair, green eyes, looks in his late 20s-early 30s, a bit shorter than average, fairly normal clothing with an ink stain here and there.)
MajorGeneralTso:(OOC here!  Whee!)
BaronDeMalta:*sage nod*
Lithaladhwen:What? The knitting? Why?
PapatymisonN:(Human, light blue hair, slight build, white dress shirt, black pants, red felt coat on his chairback, with black leather gloves sticking out of a pocket.)
Lithaladhwen:She's not my mom.  She's some stranger.
PapatymisonN:It's nice to have a grandmother, at any age. ^_^
AngeloState606:*Grins* Yours certainly was much more...spirited.
Lithaladhwen:...Yeah, okay.
BaronDeMalta:It's an art! Want to try?
BaronDeMalta:*offers Zyvanna the maracas*
PapatymisonN:And feel lucky to have one at all. Both of mine died before I could meet them.
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* Same. I mean, my real ones. My dad lives in Riva, but I don't really feel like hanging around there anymore.
AngeloState606:Hmm..
AngeloState606:Sure...why not.
AngeloState606:*Accepts the maracas*
AngeloState606:*Begins to shake them in a typical percussion beat*
Idran1701:*keeps watching the musical discussion, still speaking quietly* How long do you think they'll keep this up?
PapatymisonN:Yeah. Dads can suck.
AngeloState606:*Raises an eyebrow as she ceases the shaking*
Lithaladhwen:*sage nod*
AngeloState606:Any suggestions?
BaronDeMalta:The maraca is nothing without the dance
BaronDeMalta:*nod*
PapatymisonN:Gosh, don't get me started on mine, I- o.o
PapatymisonN:... I'd forgotten...
AngeloState606:*Laughs out loud*
dragongurl4390:*Shrug* "I'm not sure. It's a little odd."
AngeloState606:*Hands them back over*
Lithaladhwen:Huh?
AngeloState606:I'm afraid that I'll leave that to you.
PapatymisonN:I... may have to go see him and Mama. o.o
BaronDeMalta:*sigh* People are no fun
Idran1701:...Suppose it could be worse.
Lithaladhwen:IM: He still calls her that? Dude.
Lithaladhwen:Uh... whatever, man. I don't know.
dragongurl4390:((Crap. I have to go))
PapatymisonN:(You forgot too, didn'tcha, Ashley?)
Lithaladhwen:(I... was dreading RPing that. You know how Shakti gets.)
PapatymisonN:... I... just want them to know they're grandparents.
Lithaladhwen:Why'd you leave?
PapatymisonN:(It's not like she has to come...)
Lithaladhwen:I mean, you don't talk or anything?
PapatymisonN:Not at all. It's been...
dragongurl4390:((See you guys.))
PapatymisonN:Ten years? 12?
PapatymisonN:(Later! Thanks!)
AngeloState606:(Tah)
MajorGeneralTso:(*Waves*  See ya.)
Lithaladhwen:Damn. Really?
PapatymisonN:It could even be more than that. I've lost track.
BaronDeMalta:Un vodka, por favor!
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* My dad is dumb. The guy I really hung out with as a kid died in the war, so it's not really a big deal if I don't go back.
Lithaladhwen:He'd probably just forget I was there and eventually pass out like always. Have to keep him from choking on his puke, which is just gross.
Lithaladhwen:He makes a mess.
FFFan80:...*cling cling cling*
AngeloState606:*Retreats back to a corner and begins playing her background music*
AngeloState606:(I gotta go too, y'all.  Catcha later!)
PapatymisonN:... I see.
Lithaladhwen:Yeah. Drunk people are gross.
FFFan80:*cling cling cling*
PapatymisonN:Agreed.
MajorGeneralTso:(...What is Dan clinging in his little corner there?  <.<...)
BaronDeMalta:Cling?
FFFan80:*something appears to be making a 'cling' 'clang' ish noise*
Lithaladhwen:I'll let someone else clean up after him.
Lithaladhwen:*looks around idly*
Lithaladhwen:IM: Noises.
MajorGeneralTso:(Also: Dave*  I mean.)
PapatymisonN:... *does the same*
FFFan80:*There's a young woman in Ishtarian robes, wearning over it a crimson cloak with light green triangles decorating the borders*
FFFan80:*In one hand, she's carrying a large red bucket and in the other... a tamborine, for some reason*
FFFan80:*which clings and clangs as she shakes it*
Lithaladhwen:...
PapatymisonN:o.O Huh.
FFFan80:<.<?  Donations for the less fortunate?  A little something for those who have little themselves this Ishmas?  >.>?
MajorGeneralTso:(...Teru Teeeeeeerrrru!!  Boooouzo Woooo....Kazarou...)
Lithaladhwen:...
FFFan80:*cling cling cling*
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, sure.*waves her over*
PapatymisonN:... *digs in his pocket*
FFFan80:o.o?
FFFan80:Oh!
FFFan80:*scoots over*
FFFan80:*bows to the young man* Why thank you ^_^
Lithaladhwen:*pulls out a couple of gil* Her.
Lithaladhwen:*Here
PapatymisonN:*pulls out a twoeagle, and hides it as he slips it in her pouch*
FFFan80:*takes them in her bucket, which seems about 1/4 full of random gil and trinkets*
FFFan80:And you as well sir *nods to Cardinal*
PapatymisonN:*nod*
FFFan80:May Ishtar bless you both with light and joy ^_^
PapatymisonN:And you as well.
Lithaladhwen:Uh... yeah.
Lithaladhwen:Or something like that. Give it to somebody awesome.
FFFan80:o_o; ...um...sure?
MajorGeneralTso:(...Oooh yeah...There's a holiday here too...)
Idran1701:(I actually forgot about that myself until just now. :O)
Lithaladhwen:I think it's cool that you're collecting money for poor people. *nod* If anybody gives you any trouble, tell me. Okay?
FFFan80:o_o;
FFFan80:...sure?
FFFan80:It's um... nice to see one so dedicated to the less fortunate ^_^;
PapatymisonN:... don't worry her, Joss.
PapatymisonN:Who'd hurt an Ishtarian nun?
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:IM: You'd be surprised x_x;
BaronDeMalta:HEY! Hey you!
FFFan80:o.o?
PapatymisonN:<.<
Lithaladhwen:Dude. Cardinal.
Lithaladhwen:People are screwed up.
BaronDeMalta:*looks straight at the nun* ... *then flips an eagle piece towards the bucket*
FFFan80:9.9
FFFan80:*clunk* 6.6
FFFan80:o.o
Lithaladhwen:So, yeah. *gives the woman a thumbs-up* Lemme know!
BaronDeMalta:IM: Yeow!~
FFFan80:*shouts* Thank you!  And Ishtar's blessings be with you!  ^_^
BaronDeMalta:*shouts obnoxiously loud* YOU'RE WELCOME.
FFFan80:>_o;
Lithaladhwen:>.o
Lithaladhwen:I think that guy is drunk.
FFFan80:.....o_o
FFFan80:*observes a moment*
PapatymisonN:You may be on to something.
FFFan80:..o...oh dear.
FFFan80:v_v; I...I can't take his money then!  He may not be in his right mind!
Lithaladhwen:I don't know. What else would he use it for?
Lithaladhwen:Booze?
PapatymisonN:Drugs...?
Lithaladhwen:Girls?
Lithaladhwen:Boys?
Lithaladhwen:Who knows.
Lithaladhwen:Charity is better.
PapatymisonN:Good point.
FFFan80:...Still >_<
FFFan80:I...it's not right.
Lithaladhwen:Well....I know.
BaronDeMalta:HEY! I CAN HEAR YOU.
FFFan80:o_@
Lithaladhwen:Go ask him, like this. *shouts* "Sir, are you too drunk to give to charity?"
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:*>_<* What?
BaronDeMalta:*stands up, and walks completely straight towards the nun*
Lithaladhwen:See how easy that was?
FFFan80:*>#<*
BaronDeMalta:*hugs her* I'm just messing with your minds. Happy Ishmas. *walks out of the bar*
FFFan80:*skin tone now matches her strawberry blonde hair*
PapatymisonN:... *snicker*
Lithaladhwen:Well. That solved that. Cool.
FFFan80:....o#o
FFFan80:Um... h..happy I..Ishmas... o#o;
Lithaladhwen:Are you okay?
FFFan80:o#o?
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:>.<
FFFan80:I..Yes I'm fine *<.<*;
Lithaladhwen:'kay. Card, you mind if I take my gloves off? It's kind of warm in here.
PapatymisonN:... oh. A-alright... hold your hands out.
Lithaladhwen:I can do it. I just ask because grownups are weird.
FFFan80:o_o?
FFFan80:Is... something the matter?
Lithaladhwen:*pulls off his gloves with obvious relief and tosses them on the floor*
Lithaladhwen:Man. Too freaking warm.
MajorGeneralTso:(Monster Hands!)
Lithaladhwen:*blah blah scarred right hand, belabored description here*
Lithaladhwen:I just keep them on so adults don't get all creepy.
Besyanteo:(Big burn scars? :o)
PapatymisonN:*doesn't say anything*
FFFan80:Oh...goodness!
Lithaladhwen:(Bes: Ja. Almost up to his elbow.)
BaronDeMalta:*walks right back in, and sits back down right where he was*
Lithaladhwen:Damn it!
Lithaladhwen:Stop that!
Lithaladhwen:I'm fine!
FFFan80:*without thinking, grabs hand to check* 6.6
Lithaladhwen:Ack! *girl has hand*
PapatymisonN:... Joss... displaying scars in front of a HEALER?
FFFan80:*check check knowledge healer stuffs*
PapatymisonN:Not wise if you want to avoid attention.
Lithaladhwen:Stop that! It's old! I was just really hot!
Lithaladhwen:You know how hot leather gets when there's a huge fire in the room?
Lithaladhwen:*yanks his hand back* Quit being such a girl about it.
FFFan80:....o_o;
FFFan80:I....
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:v_v
BaronDeMalta:She is a girl, kiddo.
Lithaladhwen:I know that! But she's getting all weird!!
FFFan80:...I...I'm sorry if I embarrased you.
FFFan80:*picks up bucket and tamborine* >.>; I... I'll be going now.
Lithaladhwen:*shrugs* Whatever.
Lithaladhwen:You don't have to leave. It's just really weird to be inspected all the time.
Lithaladhwen:I mean, you wouldn't check me for lice. Why check to make sure I'm not all wounded to hell and back?
FFFan80:v_v .....
Lithaladhwen:Aw, hell. Come on. Sit down.
Lithaladhwen:IM: GIRLS. Why are they so confusing?
FFFan80:o_o?
FFFan80:..a..are you sure?
Lithaladhwen:IM: They just, like... with their ...feelings and... and reactions and stuff.
Lithaladhwen:No. I will hate you until the day I die. After that I'll haunt you forever and whisper at your bedside about how awful you are.
BaronDeMalta:Hey! Tambourines are nice, but if you want a pair of maracas instead I've got them. *takes out the maracas*
Lithaladhwen:Come on! Sit down.
FFFan80:...very well >.>;
BaronDeMalta:*randomly interrupting the kid, whether listened to or not*
PapatymisonN:... sarcasm... doooooouble edged sword...
FFFan80:*does... and boggles a bit at the stranger* o_@
FFFan80:I... believe I'm all set, but thank you ^_^;
Lithaladhwen:So how did you get into the whole priestly thing?
FFFan80:o.o
FFFan80:9.< ...well... it's...
FFFan80:...a bit of a long story
PapatymisonN:What do we have to do?
FFFan80:But the short version is, I felt Ishtar's calling.
FFFan80:So here I am ^_^;
PapatymisonN:IM: Ex-assassin.
PapatymisonN:The call of your god.... dess. Must be wonderful.
Lithaladhwen:Huh. What's that like? I mean, does she show up and give you her card, or do you have visions or what?
FFFan80:...well um...
FFFan80:9_<;
FFFan80:It's... hard to explain, really
FFFan80:There were some signs, yes.
FFFan80:But, deep in my heart, I knew this is what I wanted to do.
Besyanteo:(Aeris: I hear the cry of the planet... Cloud: ... All I hear is Barret cussing and beating Yuffie like a red headed step child. o_ó)
FFFan80:(*punt*)
Besyanteo:(*flies!*)
Lithaladhwen:Huh. Cool.
Lithaladhwen:That's got to be nice.
PapatymisonN:It is...
Lithaladhwen:You too?
FFFan80:Indeed it is ^_^
PapatymisonN:... oh. Um...
Lithaladhwen:It looks like I'm the only one who remains unaffiliated.
PapatymisonN:No god you know, trust me.
Lithaladhwen:I hope not. You wouldn't like the gods I know.
BaronDeMalta:Hey! What am I, chopped liver?
PapatymisonN:(*coughobrotherwhereartthoucoughcough*)
MajorGeneralTso:(Go team Unaffiliated!  *High Fives someone!*)
FFFan80:o_o;
Besyanteo:(... Is that the little known sex change god?)
BaronDeMalta:(No)
Lithaladhwen:(Charles wins.)
BaronDeMalta:I'm unaffiliated, I mean. What did you think?
BaronDeMalta:*blinks*
MajorGeneralTso:(*High Fives D!*)
Lithaladhwen:I don't know. Don't adults figure out some god or other by the time they're fifteen or something?
FFFan80:Oh, not always
BaronDeMalta:I hope I figure out a god by the time I'm fifteen
FFFan80:Sometimes, the journey of self-discovery can be a long one.
BaronDeMalta:*clearly looks 20*
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* I have a question.
PapatymisonN:I know a fella who's almost an atheist...
Lithaladhwen:What about the elemental lords? Does anybody still worship them anymore? Because I don't know anybody who knows anybody who's been to a good temple except me.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Poor Lady Freneth. She's so awesome, and nobody pays attention.
FFFan80:.......
FFFan80:I... couldn't really tell you. o.o;
Lithaladhwen:Do gods need to be worshipped to exist?
Lithaladhwen:*seems kind of worried*
FFFan80:9.<
PapatymisonN:No.
FFFan80:(moment)
Lithaladhwen:('kay.)
Besyanteo:(They do in our setting, last I heard. However,)
Besyanteo:(It's questionable if the PCs would know this.)
PapatymisonN:Some believe that if they are not praised by mortal voices, the rocks will cry out to do so.
FFFan80:(*gives cookie!*)
FFFan80:That's a good question.
FFFan80:o.o Truthfully, I'm not certain.  I've heard arguments for both.
Lithaladhwen:I see. Huh.
FFFan80:And, well, the theories on my Goddess tend to get very complicated quickly, hehe. ^_^;
Lithaladhwen:Well, I guess there will always be people. But I like Freneth.
Besyanteo:(Especially when you try to explain Rivan holy powers. ^^)
Lithaladhwen:So there she is, and as long as I'm around she'll be around, I guess.
Lithaladhwen:*nods, satisfied*
FFFan80:o.o
FFFan80:*can I get a knowledge: religion check? =[*
Lithaladhwen:(Elemental lord of fire.)
Lithaladhwen:(Elemental Lords.)
Besyanteo:(They has paladins too!)
FFFan80:IM: ...now that scarring makes sense... he must be a fire mage of some kind.
FFFan80:*tries to remember the last she heard about the Lord's following*
Lithaladhwen:(I totally commandeered them from Blaze.)
Besyanteo:(Not like Blaze is coming back.)
FFFan80:(Now you're just tempting fate and/or the Gods of irony =[)
Lithaladhwen:(Perhaps.)
Besyanteo:(I don't think he'd last long under the stance of "Stop godmoding plz" <.<)
BaronDeMalta:(You mean jinxing us)
BaronDeMalta:(BUT, BES)
BaronDeMalta:(It's not godmoding when gods are the only thing you ever play)
Besyanteo:(Or demons stronger than Mally. :o)
MajorGeneralTso:(...I guess that would constitute being ''In character.'')
Besyanteo:(But yeah, that was his deal.)
Besyanteo:(He made up lots of deific characters in power level on whim)
Besyanteo:(Races of them even.)
BaronDeMalta:(Races of them? This I don't recall)
Lithaladhwen:(Okay, anyway. RP.)
Besyanteo:(I'd have to dig for a while; And yeah, what she said)
PapatymisonN:If you ask me, if a god is not immortal under all circumstances, it is not a god.
FFFan80:May I ask you a question, sir?  It'll probably sound familiar.  ^_^;
FFFan80:*To Joss*
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, sure.
FFFan80:9_< ...how did you put it...
FFFan80:o.o
FFFan80:^_^ How did you get into the whole Freneth thing?
FFFan80:*oh, such whit*
Lithaladhwen:I found a really old temple and there was an elemental there who talked to me. Said I was awesome. He seemed pretty spot-on, so I believed him.
FFFan80:....o_o; I see.
BaronDeMalta:*snicker*
Lithaladhwen:It was a big old temple to Lady Freneth, and there were all these carvings and things. Paintings and all.
MajorGeneralTso:(Dammit, Ash makes all the cool characters.)
FFFan80:*nod*
Besyanteo:(We're perfectly capable.)
Lithaladhwen:I was in there because it felt like a good place, what with all the images of stuff I like. Like fire. I like fire.
Lithaladhwen:(I... I what now?)
Lithaladhwen:Anyway, I was in there, and I guess I woke him up or something.
FFFan80:The elemental?
Lithaladhwen:Yeah. He told me things that turned out to be true. Like that I can do stuff.
FFFan80:o_o; ...that isn't why you have the scarring is it?
Lithaladhwen:I think I was supposed to be there or something.
Lithaladhwen:Huh? *looks down* Glassblowing accident.
FFFan80:Ah.
FFFan80:^_^; sorry, please go on.
Lithaladhwen:Sometimes it just goes PSSHHH and gets everywhere.
FFFan80:.....o_o;
Lithaladhwen:Well it does!
FFFan80:IM: That would've gotten him a week of hack assistant duty at Gunnir.
FFFan80:I...um...
Lithaladhwen:Anyway. I'm better at it now. I can make things and all that. I can do all kinds of things.
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:I see.
Lithaladhwen:I'm actually really talented.
Lithaladhwen:*nod*
Lithaladhwen:Especially for my age.
FFFan80:IM: For all our sakes, I hope that includes discipline and self control <.<;
Lithaladhwen:(You'd think, wouldn't you, miss?)
FFFan80:Well, I'm sure your Goddess would be proud then ^_^
MajorGeneralTso:(I am thoroughly enjoying the sarcasm.  And the I'm Awesome line.)
Lithaladhwen:I hope so! She's really cool, too.
Lithaladhwen:I'm trying to find more information on her and stuff, but I think the good bits are all  back home.
FFFan80:Oh?
FFFan80:Where would that be? o.o
Lithaladhwen:Eh. Backwater Riva. Sucks there. I'll probably just go back to clean up her temple or something. Dunno. I mean, I'm not really devoted to her, but I feel like somebody oughtta do it.
Lithaladhwen:I wouldn't want to be forgotten and ignored for eternity. I think that would really suck. So yeah.
FFFan80:...well... hmm.
PapatymisonN:*nod*
FFFan80:A difficult, but noble goal *nod*
Lithaladhwen:(I will likely have to reset my computer soon to get the adaptor working. If this happens, would Charles be so kind as to keep the log-duty alive?)
FFFan80:If there's one constant among the Gods, they usually appreciate their places of worship being cared for and used. ^_^
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* It's not a big deal. I mean, I can probably just go in and scorch off the moss. It's all stone anyway, and I doubt she'd mind. Then I can... I dunno.
Lithaladhwen:Someone else should probably do it, but if they're not going to it may as well be me.
FFFan80:>.>
PapatymisonN:If you need help, just ask.
Lithaladhwen:Weeding and dusting and stuff isn't too hard. It's cool.
FFFan80:If we all waited for 'someone else to do it', we wouldn't gget much done
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:o_o
Lithaladhwen:Maybe I'll take a summer off work to get it done.
FFFan80:*realizes just how preachy she just sounded*
FFFan80:>_>; ...but that's your decision ^_^;
Lithaladhwen:(But she's right! And super action-boy isn't going to argue.)
Lithaladhwen:No, it's cool. It's why I'm doing it.
Lithaladhwen:It's not that hard, and I've got nothing better to do but work. Might be nice to do work again.
Lithaladhwen:>_< I studied too much last year.
FFFan80:Information overload?
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, no doubt.
FFFan80:>_>; I remember that from my old days at Gunnir... frequently.
Lithaladhwen:You were at Gunnir? I liked it there. The fire mages were really friendly, but I think they were a little crazy.
Lithaladhwen:I was only there for a little while. Maybe like two days.
FFFan80:Eccentric seems to be the norm there, hehe.
FFFan80:Oh, that's too bad.  o.o
PapatymisonN:... I feel left out. Never been there.
FFFan80:It's a really good school, from what little time I spent there anyway.
Lithaladhwen:I was sort of... between stages right then.
Lithaladhwen:But I have friends there and they say it's cool.
FFFan80:*nods*
FFFan80:I'm sure they'd welcome you back anytime, if you wanted to.
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, they said that. It's not my thing.
FFFan80:(...now I'm picturing Joss hopping on a Harley =[)
Lithaladhwen:(He'll hitchhike like the Incredible Hulk.)
Lithaladhwen:I'm cool here.
FFFan80:*nods again*
Lithaladhwen:*puts his chin on his palm* Man. I have a day off and I have no idea what to do. Are there like... parties or somethign?
Lithaladhwen:*something
FFFan80:o_o;
PapatymisonN:... I don't think so...
PapatymisonN:There's an Ishmas festival in a few days...
MajorGeneralTso:(Tai: MUCH TO MY CHAGRIN.)
Lithaladhwen:Cool! That sounds cool. I should, like... do the presents thing.
FFFan80:9_< ...I'm not much of a 'socialite', but I do have a little holiday visit with some of the other priestesses later today.  o.o
Lithaladhwen:Is it weird to get people things for Ishmas and not say who they're from?
PapatymisonN:No, not at all...
FFFan80:Many do, actually.
FFFan80:*shrug* I don't see why you'd wanna keep that a secret though.  o.o
FFFan80:It's such a nice thing to do ^_^
Lithaladhwen:...
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, well.
Lithaladhwen:Uh.
Lithaladhwen:It's hard to explain. It's complicated.
Lithaladhwen:Look. You're religious. So you give advice, right?
PapatymisonN:I'll leave you two alone.
Lithaladhwen:It's okay.
Lithaladhwen:I'll use lots of pronouns.
Lithaladhwen:*nodnodnod*
PapatymisonN:No, no. Confession is a private thing. *goes off*
Lithaladhwen:Weird guy. *headshake*
FFFan80:o_o? ...well, I'll do my best.
FFFan80:What's on your mind?
Lithaladhwen:Well....
Lithaladhwen:What if someone is really mad at me and I'm not mad at them so I want to do something to show that I'm not mad but I don't want to talk to them or see them and so I don't want them to know it was me?
FFFan80:o_o
FFFan80:-_-
FFFan80:o_o
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:-_-
FFFan80:o_o
Lithaladhwen:What? That way I've got nothing to lose, right?
FFFan80:...uh.
FFFan80:You... want them to know you're not mad, right?
Lithaladhwen:No.
Lithaladhwen:But I'm not. So I want to do things that mean I'm not mad. I just don't want them to know.
Lithaladhwen:Because that's embarassing.
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:But then they won't know you're not mad.  o_o;
Lithaladhwen:They can think I'm mad. I'm just not.
FFFan80:....
Lithaladhwen:So it'll.... I don't know. Show the...the universe or something.
FFFan80:Why would you want someone to think you're angry with them?
Lithaladhwen:Because! We had a fight and if I say I'm sorry it means that he didn't do anything wrong!
FFFan80:o_ó
Lithaladhwen:*coughs self-consciously*
FFFan80:If you both did something wrong, I would think your friend has to say sorry as well.
Lithaladhwen:But he won't. So the only way to keep it fair is for neither of us to do it.
Lithaladhwen:That way it's all even and consistent and stuff.
FFFan80:How do you know that?
FFFan80:>.>
Lithaladhwen:Because-- Because-- I just do!
FFFan80:Maybe your friend is thinking the same thing you are?
Lithaladhwen:Nuh uh.
Lithaladhwen:People don't apologize to kids. They yell at them and then leave.
FFFan80:o_o
Lithaladhwen:Kids always have to say they're sorry.
FFFan80:Well that's not true at all!
Lithaladhwen:Yes it is!
Lithaladhwen:When you were a kid, didn't you have to apologize all the time?
FFFan80:When I did something wrong, yes.
Lithaladhwen:Well, grownups do bad stuff all the time, and they never have to say they're sorry if they can get someone else to be sorry instead.
FFFan80:But my parents apologised as well at times.
FFFan80:o_o?
Lithaladhwen:Grownups don't like to look like they're wrong or less intelligent than kids. So if it's between a grownup and a kid, the kid always has to apologize so the adult can save face.
FFFan80:~_~ IM: How does Father Rudal deal with things like this all the time...?
Lithaladhwen:Then everyone just chalks it up to immaturity and kid-stuff, and nobody thinks about it anymore.
Lithaladhwen:It just... goes away.
FFFan80:I realize, there are many adults who do such things.
FFFan80:But that doesn't make it right.
FFFan80:And it's not.
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, well. Is and ought. Sometimes it doesn't matter what's right if I'm the only one doing it.
Lithaladhwen:Because then everything else is still wrong.
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:IM: You poor boy... v_v
FFFan80:*sighs*
FFFan80:I know I can't just say one thing and instantly change your mind.
FFFan80:But, please believe me, when I say not all adults are as you described.
Lithaladhwen:If you say so.
Lithaladhwen:I think it's been too long since you were twelve. *sheepish smile*
Lithaladhwen:I think I'll just do it because I'm not going to pretend I'm mad when I'm not. It's dishonest, and I don't play that way. But I'll just...omit that it was me.
FFFan80:.....
Lithaladhwen:He doesn't need to know. But I'll know that I did it.
Lithaladhwen:I'm the one whose opinion counts anyway. I have to live with me, not with him.
FFFan80:That... kind of seems to defeat the purpose of it, doesn't it?
Lithaladhwen:Nah. Don't you ever, like... do people give you money and not say that it was them? Like... anonymous donations.
Lithaladhwen:You get those? Those people don't want everyone to know they give to charity, even though it's good.
FFFan80:Yes
FFFan80:I don't personally see why people would do that, but you're right.
Lithaladhwen:It's like that! Only it's anonymous... friendship. Or something.
Lithaladhwen:Look. I figured it out.
Lithaladhwen:Thanks.
Lithaladhwen:You helped a lot, and I think I'm cool.
FFFan80:Can I say one last thing?
Lithaladhwen:Uh, 'kay.
BaronDeMalta:Uhm..
BaronDeMalta:You don't know why people would anonymously give?
Lithaladhwen:IM: She just doesn't get it. You can't change grownups. You just have to work around them. Not let them hold you back.
BaronDeMalta:(Test test)
FFFan80:(moment)
BaronDeMalta:(nah, just lag on my part)
Lithaladhwen:(I need to restart my computer. I'll be right back, okay?)
Lithaladhwen:(I swear I will be.)
Lithaladhwen:(If I have to get on my desktop to continue, I'll be here.)
MajorGeneralTso:(...Gaaao.)
Lithaladhwen:(Seeee?)
PapatymisonN:(WB.)
PapatymisonN:(CW.)
Lithaladhwen:(Anyway.)
PapatymisonN:(CBS.)
PapatymisonN:(Spike TV.)
PapatymisonN:(Anyway.(
Lithaladhwen:(Lifetime.)
Lithaladhwen:(RP. What'd I miss?)
FFFan80:...*sighs*
FFFan80:~_~; One of the difficult parts of being... well... what I am. 
FFFan80:Is saying things, you know a person doesn't want to hear.
Lithaladhwen:Uh...'kay.
FFFan80:But you say it anyway, because it needs to be said.
PapatymisonN:*sitting a ways away in the bar, waiting to be beckoned back, if ever*
Lithaladhwen:(He will be.)
Lithaladhwen:Shoot.
FFFan80:>.>  To give a gift is a noble and wonderful thing.
FFFan80:...but, I think you're doing this for the wrong reasons.
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* I don't know if I'm right or not. But I don't want to not get him something just because he's mad at me. I think he'll be mad if he hears from me, though. So I just want to be not mad in peace.
Lithaladhwen:Get him something and he doesn't have to know where it came from.
BaronDeMalta:(You do know there's an FF-Fan.com, right?
FFFan80:You say you're doing this because your friend is angry with you.
BaronDeMalta:(:P)
Besyanteo:(... Whit?)
FFFan80:(Laaaaaaaag, methinks)
Lithaladhwen:(Possibly.)
BaronDeMalta:(:-( )
BaronDeMalta:*waits*
Lithaladhwen:Kind of yes,  kind of no. I mean, if he weren't mad at me, I'd just bring him something cool.
FFFan80:But, nothing about your gift will do anything about it.
FFFan80:So, I question if this gift is really about that at all.
FFFan80:All I ask is that you think it over a bit more.
Lithaladhwen:You can't change grownups if they don't care. They are who they are. I just need to work around it and act the way I think I should. I want to get good things for people who deserve them.
Lithaladhwen:But it won't do any good for him to hear from me at this point. I think it's better if we don't talk.
Lithaladhwen:That way we won't fight anymore. It won't help anything.
FFFan80:*sighs*
FFFan80:~_~; IM: ...some priestess I am...
Lithaladhwen:I want to do something nice for him, but I just don't want us to yell at each other anymore. Y'know?
FFFan80:I know
FFFan80:....far too well... v.v
Lithaladhwen:I want to be nice, but I think if we talk, we'll fight.
FFFan80:It's possible.
Lithaladhwen:Because I say things and they come out all wrong, and then he yells and then he leaves and everything is bad again.
Lithaladhwen:Y'know?
FFFan80:*nods*
FFFan80:When you're angry, it's hard to say what you really mean.
FFFan80:Because that anger twists some of your words.
FFFan80:If you don't try to get past that anger, though, that's all you'll know of one another.  The anger-tainted words, instead of the truth.
FFFan80:But, its up to you if you want to know.
FFFan80:And I don't think your current plan will do that.
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* I don't think that there is anything good under all that, maybe. Just more yelling and unreasonable crap.
Lithaladhwen:I think it's just like... more angry words under angry words. Nothing good.
FFFan80:I see...
FFFan80:v_v ...well.... as I said, it's your choice.
FFFan80:But, please think it over a little more.
FFFan80:There's more good to some people than I think you realize.
Lithaladhwen:Maybe. I'll consider what you said about stuff under all the pissy words.
FFFan80:*stands and picks up her bucket*
Lithaladhwen:I don't think the truth is good. I think it's just what I'm used to, and I really should set myself up for it anymore. So I'll be the bigger man and not hold grudges but... I don't think he and I should hang out.
Lithaladhwen:But I'll think about it.
Lithaladhwen:*really shouldn't
Lithaladhwen:(Edited for actual correctness.)
FFFan80:*nod*
FFFan80:Well, I should be going
FFFan80:Thank you again for the generousity.
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, anytime.
Lithaladhwen:*stage whisper* CARDINAL.
FFFan80:*smiles and begins walking out the door*
PapatymisonN:o.o
PapatymisonN:All done?
Lithaladhwen:It's cool. *nod*
FFFan80:*....until she goes THWACK into someone* @_<
FFFan80:@#$#@$#
PapatymisonN:<.<
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, I just---AGH HOLY CRAP
FFFan80:*and down she and the bucket goes!*
Lithaladhwen:*dives under the table*
PapatymisonN:o.o Joss?
FFFan80:Hey, watch where the bloody fuck you're go... o_o
FFFan80:...o...oh bollucks
FFFan80:>\/<
FFFan80:*crouches* Hey, you Ok?
FFFan80:>_@ ...Ow...I...think I bruised something.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Is she okay?
FFFan80:*helps her up*
FFFan80:Er...
FFFan80:......
FFFan80:<\/<; ...SorryISmackedIntoYa
Lithaladhwen:IM: Yeah, he apologizes to her because she's a grownup. Jerk.
FFFan80:o_o ...oh, it's ok.  ^_^; I should've watched the door when I walked out.
Lithaladhwen:IM: *miscellaneous Dwarven profanity*
FFFan80:I'm sorry also.
FFFan80:o_ó ...ok...
FFFan80:...uh, I think you're stuff is rolling around the bar.
FFFan80:o_o?
FFFan80:6_6 ....oh Goddess the coins o_@
FFFan80:*scurrying along the floor ensues!*
Lithaladhwen:IM: Aw, crap. Damn crap hell.
FFFan80:...er...
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:......
FFFan80:-\/-; IM: Godsdammit
FFFan80:Lemme help, ok?
FFFan80:6\/< *scrounge scrounge*
Lithaladhwen:*picks up some of the coins... and creeps out to bring them to her* Here. You, uh.... You dropped these.
Lithaladhwen:*totally doesn't even look at Stephan*
FFFan80:o.o? Oh, thanks ^_^
Lithaladhwen:*mumbles something about her being welcome*
PapatymisonN:*watches, from afar*
FFFan80:GAH! >.@
PapatymisonN:IM: He needs to do this on his own...
FFFan80:I'm pretty sure that didn't just come out of your pocket, buddy e_e
Lithaladhwen:She dropped them! And for the record, some of them did!
FFFan80:*twist twist OW*
FFFan80:alrightalrighthereitislemmego! *drops!*
FFFan80:>\/> Good
FFFan80:*snaches and heads back over*
Lithaladhwen:*watches*
Lithaladhwen:IM:  Wow.
Lithaladhwen:(Stephan wins points for physically abusing people. Somehow.)
FFFan80:Here ya are, I'm telling you, nothing bloody shocks me anymore, what some bastards will do for a bloody gi...
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:Joss?
Lithaladhwen:Stephan.
FFFan80:o_o?
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:Been awhile.
Lithaladhwen:Yeah. Has.
FFFan80:<.<?
FFFan80:>.>?
PapatymisonN:*approaches the nun, pulls her aside*
FFFan80:o.o ....
Lithaladhwen:IM: I shouldn't talk to him. It's just going to be the same thing it was last time!
FFFan80:>.o;; ..h..hey?!
PapatymisonN:*w* The fellow in question, ma'am.
Besyanteo:(night folks)
FFFan80:....
Lithaladhwen:IM: He's going to be really nice and he's going to act all awesome, and then he's going to yell at me and then he's going to leave. Like everyone else.
PapatymisonN:(Night.)
FFFan80:o o Oh my.
Lithaladhwen:(Night Bes!)
Lithaladhwen:You look fine. How you been?
FFFan80:...I uh... guess you're doing ok?
PapatymisonN:Mm.
FFFan80:....meh....
FFFan80:Same shit, different day.
FFFan80:I guess.
PapatymisonN:Best to leave them be, of course...
FFFan80:Yes, i suppose so.
Lithaladhwen:Shit happens. Same deal here, except I have a job and things. So there's that.
FFFan80:>.> ...I just hope they can work this out... ó.ò
Lithaladhwen:IM: Whatever. Stupid crap. Stupid stupid stupid.
FFFan80:Damn.
FFFan80:What kind of work?
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* Apprentice work with a blacksmith.
PapatymisonN:Me too.
FFFan80:Ah.
Lithaladhwen:IM: It is not a good idea. He does not need to know things.
FFFan80:Fire must come in handy
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:IM: *mental facepalm*
Lithaladhwen:(Beware of people who think in italics, kids.)
Lithaladhwen:(They're dangerous.)
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, does. Keep from burning myself, and I'm allowed to make things in my spare time.
FFFan80:(Just like the back room)
Lithaladhwen:(Yes.)
Lithaladhwen:(Only in your mind.)
FFFan80:*nods*
FFFan80:You enjoy it?
Lithaladhwen:*grabs his gloves from the floor* S'all right. I know how, so it could be worse.
FFFan80:Ah.
Lithaladhwen:(Man. These two are fucking experts with small talk. Look at them go. It's not stilted at all.)
FFFan80:(Stephan: and you better bloody well appreciate it >_<)
FFFan80:(Stephan: @#@ing 'feelings' and bull@#$)
FFFan80:Well, if it's what you wanna do, then good for you.
Lithaladhwen:Well, it's a step in the right direction. I'll do the other stuff later. You remember.
FFFan80:*can't help a brief smile there*
FFFan80:Yeah.
Lithaladhwen:I don't have time for it now. Bills. But later. *shrug*
FFFan80:*nods*
FFFan80:......
FFFan80:*w* Can I ask you something, sir?
FFFan80:*to Cardinal*
PapatymisonN:Of course.
FFFan80:*w* ...why do men have such a hard time just saying their feelings? >_<+
Lithaladhwen:(*LAUGH*)
FFFan80:*w* Honestly, this is so much more complex than it needs to be.
Lithaladhwen:(Does this mean I'm accurately portraying the twelve-year-old boy?)
FFFan80:(I'd say so =P)
Lithaladhwen:(He likes manly things. Like victory and epic poetry and stuff. Not feelings and expressive junk.)
PapatymisonN:*w* Psychological predisposition. We're all doomed.
FFFan80:*sighs* ~_~;
Lithaladhwen:Do you live in town, or what?
FFFan80:...sort of.
Lithaladhwen:I didn't think you were Doman.
FFFan80:I wasn't born here, no.
FFFan80:But, most of my family's here now, so... *shrug* Eh.
Lithaladhwen:*nods and shoves his hands so far down in his pockets you'd swear he was trying to get both his arms in there*
FFFan80:And you have to admit, there's always shit going on here.
Lithaladhwen:Guess so.
Lithaladhwen:IM: I should go. I should go. How can I leave?
FFFan80:....say.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Should I just walk out? Should I tell him I'll see him later?  Talk to him later? Good night? How do you do that?
FFFan80:What smith are you working for?
PapatymisonN:*w* Don't worry about it. They'll figure it out.
Lithaladhwen:Why?
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:Well uh.
FFFan80:<\/<; You know, some of my stuff's kinda busted up.
FFFan80:Was hoping someone could give it a look over sometime.
Lithaladhwen:*shrug* His name's Gunther.
FFFan80:Gunther... got it.
FFFan80:o_o .....
Lithaladhwen:He's a good guy. He won't screw you over like a lot of grownups. He's cool.
FFFan80:If you're sure, then I'll take your word for it.
Lithaladhwen:I'm better at telling the difference than I used to be. He's cool.
FFFan80:...*nods*
FFFan80:Alright.
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:9\/<; ....well then.
FFFan80:I... guess, I should be going.
Lithaladhwen:No, I should go.
Lithaladhwen:I have to get home.
FFFan80:*nod* Right then.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Crap. I never decided what to say. I, uh...oh, screw it.
Lithaladhwen:*walks past Stephan and to the door* See you later, Cardinal. And thanks, Miss. Good luck with your charity work.
FFFan80:...hey, Joss?
Lithaladhwen:...What?
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:-\/- ...nice seeing ya again.
Lithaladhwen:...
Lithaladhwen:I...
Lithaladhwen:...Yeah. Same.
FFFan80:o.o
Lithaladhwen:*hurries out*
PapatymisonN:(Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! ^_^)
FFFan80:....
Idran1701:(Chuck beat me to it.)
FFFan80:*sniff* ó.ó
Lithaladhwen:(You people need to quit being weird RP drama voyeurs.)
PapatymisonN:^_^
FFFan80:...how touching!
PapatymisonN:... Mr. Hyral?
FFFan80:,>.<, *Cardinal now has a soggy shoulder*
PapatymisonN:o.o *hesitantly pats the nun on the shoulder*
FFFan80:....*IRKS*
FFFan80:*O\/o*; Huh?!
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:......
PapatymisonN:I'm buying you a beer.
FFFan80:o\/ó *eyebrow raise at the sobbing nun*
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:o_o
FFFan80:....uh
Idran1701:(Hey, we both love reading RP summaries/logs/whatnot, Kai.  I just like the live stuff too. :D)
PapatymisonN:*weirded out by the Ishtarian acolyte...*
Lithaladhwen:(Heh.)
FFFan80:....Do I even KNOW you?
PapatymisonN:Let's just say you're famous.
FFFan80:.....
Lithaladhwen:(*chuckles*)
FFFan80:o_ó
PapatymisonN:And frankly, any friend of Joss' is a friend of mine.
FFFan80:o_o
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:O...k then
FFFan80:*sniff* >.o
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:O...oh Goddess I'm sorry Cardinal *<.<*;
Lithaladhwen:(Here's a tough choice. Do I bring in another character, or do I sit and be Idran?)
PapatymisonN:(Cardinal never related his name, did he?)
Lithaladhwen:(Joss said it.)
PapatymisonN:(Kay.)
PapatymisonN:It's... alright.
FFFan80:(I knew that!)
Idran1701:(Hey, I RPed earlier.  I said a whole 5 lines IC or so!)
FFFan80:(really =D; )
Lithaladhwen:(He stage-whispered it all the way across the bar.)
Lithaladhwen:(This is fair, Idran.)
PapatymisonN:But yes. Alcohol for a good fellow.
PapatymisonN:*jerks his head toward the bar*
FFFan80:IM: ...you know, considering Mid wants to do that charity sh#$ later maybe this isn't a good idea...
FFFan80:9\/9 ....
FFFan80:IM: ...then again, considering I'll have to do that charity sh#$...
FFFan80:Sure.
FFFan80:*follows*
Lithaladhwen:(Be drunk for the charity shit. It'll make it easier.)
FFFan80:(Oh God)
FFFan80:(Midoku: Here you are, may you have joy this holiday ^_^)
PapatymisonN:*sits at the bar* Two beers, please.
FFFan80:(Stephan: I have joy, in my PANTS ^#^)
PapatymisonN:(Also: Ashley should play someone else.)
Lithaladhwen:(HAAAA)
FFFan80:(Midoku: e_@+++)
Lithaladhwen:(I may yet. Dunno. I'm enjoying the voyeurism, but something tells me that if I lurk, RP will wither down.)
FFFan80:...um...
PapatymisonN:*they both get beers* So! Stephan Hyral. Brother of Dan. ...Husband of Midoku, right?
FFFan80:*>.>*; If it's all the same, I should be going gentlemen... I"m not much of a drinker ^_^;
FFFan80:.....
PapatymisonN:Very well.
PapatymisonN:OH. I never got your name!
FFFan80:e_e ...*suspicious look*
FFFan80:Oh, it's Katherine. Katherine Talles  ^_^
FFFan80:Nice to meet you, and thanks again.
PapatymisonN:*nod* Have a nice night.
FFFan80:*nods to both gentlemen and starts off*
Lithaladhwen:(Hrm. What to do, what to do...)
FFFan80:*this time wtihout mishap!*
Lithaladhwen:(Perhaps I don't need to change  my font.)
Lithaladhwen:(Poor Katherine can't even leave a bar in peace.)
PapatymisonN:Anyways... my info... accurate?
FFFan80:......
FFFan80:Yes.
FFFan80:Maybe you'd like to tell me how the hell you knew all that stuff?
FFFan80:Considering I dont' have a damn clue who you are?
PapatymisonN:I work for the State, and you're not exactly out of sight...
FFFan80:....Ah.
FFFan80:So you work with holy boy then
PapatymisonN:Holy... boy? o.o
Lithaladhwen:(Cardinal, your line is, "I'm no one to be suspicious of...")
FFFan80:e_e
FFFan80:Daniel
Lithaladhwen:("I'm just a mysterious priest who was passing through.")
PapatymisonN:Oh. On occasion.
PapatymisonN:(BTW, did he ever thank Charles for naming an entire protectorate after him?)
FFFan80:(...if Dave didn't botch remembering that detail, Dan would probably obsessivly thank about it =D; )
Lithaladhwen:(Shakti: Protectorates. Bullshit colonialist imperialist term. *grumbles to herself about theoretical perspectives*)
PapatymisonN:... out of curiousity, how do you know Joss?
Lithaladhwen:(I'd imagine Dan would be all courteous, being a slightly different animal from his brother.)
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:That depends
FFFan80:What do you know about Joss?
Lithaladhwen:(Aw.)
PapatymisonN:Not much. Met him when some chaos mages doubled a number of citizens, us included.
FFFan80:...ah that thing.
FFFan80:...that was... 'fun'... >.>
PapatymisonN:I know. It's odd having overlapping memories of an event... >.<
FFFan80:Well, not entirely bad.
PapatymisonN:No, just... very... very confusing.
FFFan80:<\/<
FFFan80:I'd say more about it
Lithaladhwen:(Joss thought it was awesome, because there were two of him, and that's a lot of a good thing.)
FFFan80:...but then Mid would probably kill me.  *sips drink* -\/-
PapatymisonN:Heh...
PapatymisonN:But yeah. Neither of us discuss our pasts much.
PapatymisonN:I get the feeling you know far more about him.
FFFan80:...well, no shit
FFFan80:You don't see me spewing off my sob story to you right now, do you?
PapatymisonN:True enough. And we all have them, don't we?
PapatymisonN:(Layne: I don't! ^_^)
Lithaladhwen:(Holly: Neither do I!)
FFFan80:S'pose so
Lithaladhwen:*the door opens and ZOMG someone enters*
FFFan80:So...
FFFan80:How long have you known Daniel?
Lithaladhwen:(Some people may know her, and some may not because she CIRPs poorly as a general rule!)
PapatymisonN:Oh, we're really more like acquaintances. No serious contact...
FFFan80:o_ó
FFFan80:Have you seen him spaz out?
Lithaladhwen:*A ninja in her early twenties closes the door behind her and sits at the bar with a nod to Stephan and whoever the hell that random dude is talking to him.*
PapatymisonN:From afar...
PapatymisonN:... kind of amusing.
FFFan80:...close enough -\/- *sip*
FFFan80:.....o_o Heya Myrnal.
Lithaladhwen:*grabs herself some mixed rum thing*
FFFan80:*gasp, der neutral face?*
Lithaladhwen:Hey. *lifts a hand in greeting*
Lithaladhwen:Who's the random guy? Do I have to tattle on you? *smirk*
PapatymisonN:Straight, ma'am. Thank you... *drinks his beer*
FFFan80:e_e ...ha ha
FFFan80:Some guy who works with my brother...
FFFan80:......
FFFan80:.......
Lithaladhwen:Good for him. We should have at least one person in this bar who is.
FFFan80:9\/< ...what the hell's your name again? Sparrow or something?
PapatymisonN:Cardinal.
PapatymisonN:The red one.
FFFan80:Should I introduce ya, or do you wanna handle that bit?
Lithaladhwen:It's cool. *sips her drink and puts it down* Hey Cardinal. Name's Myrnal. Not Mrnle. Emphasis on the second syllable or else there'll be violence.
PapatymisonN:Myrnal. Of course.
FFFan80:Nothing wrong with violence.
FFFan80:...sometimes... -\/- *sip*
Idran1701:(So it's Myrnal?  No missus, accent on the nal?)
PapatymisonN:I agree. It definitely has its place.
PapatymisonN:Would you like a beer, Myrnal?
Lithaladhwen:(It does not rhyme with myrtle.)
Lithaladhwen:Nah. I'm good.
PapatymisonN:Alright.
Lithaladhwen:So Stephan. My grandmother tells me she forced you to eat pie. Sorry about that.
Lithaladhwen:She has this thing with food-sharing.
FFFan80:Eh
FFFan80:nothing I'm not used to.
FFFan80:In some shape or form
Lithaladhwen:Well, that's good. Ardam ended up staying there, too.
Lithaladhwen:I don't... think anybody said anything they shouldn't, so it's all good.
FFFan80:*nod*
FFFan80:Yeah, I'm guessing that would've sucked.
Lithaladhwen:Yeah. Uh... no good.
FFFan80:I still say you should just fess up, but whatever
FFFan80:-\/- *sip*
Lithaladhwen:Fuck that. No.
Lithaladhwen:Just because your family is all supportive or whatever the hell doesn't mean my grandparents need to know.
Lithaladhwen:*head shake*
FFFan80:*shrug* I've said my point, I'm not gonna rehash it.
FFFan80:So, whatever.
Lithaladhwen:*shrug*
PapatymisonN:*drrrrrrrrink*
Lithaladhwen:*subject change* So. Cardinal. What do you do?
PapatymisonN:Work for the Guard.
Lithaladhwen:Ah. I'm... not specifically with the guard, so it explains why I don't know you. I think I'm a knight or something.
Lithaladhwen:It wasn't really explained to me.
PapatymisonN:Eh. The king hands out knightships like this bar hands out beer nuts.
FFFan80:No shit -\/-
Lithaladhwen:Wasn't the king. I've only met him, like... twice? Maybe three times? Not enough for knighthood.
FFFan80:o_ó
PapatymisonN:Oh.
Lithaladhwen:I worked for Hakaril once. Didn't go that well, but apparently he decided to make me some kind of...something.
Lithaladhwen:I have no fucking clue.
FFFan80:...bloody f#$king Hakaril... e.e
PapatymisonN:I know. He's... a bit uncontrollable lately...
Lithaladhwen:What the hell's wrong with Hakaril? I mean, when I first met him I figured he was an arrogant jerk with a desk job, but he's pretty okay.
FFFan80:IM: ...pompous know it all @#$#...
FFFan80:IM: ...always hanging around Mid... e.e+++
Lithaladhwen:(Oooooh, I see how it is.)
Lithaladhwen:(Stephan is so cute when he's jealous.)
FFFan80:(Stephan: *violence!*)
PapatymisonN:He is, it's just... he doesn't play by the rules, and... good luck trying to reprimand him.
Lithaladhwen:Rules are for chumps who are afraid to get things done. No offense.
FFFan80:e.e *seems distracted*
PapatymisonN:... not when you work for the King!
Lithaladhwen:*simply* Which is why I don't. I work for Hakaril because he doesn't question me.
Lithaladhwen:Besides. I don't think the King would hire me. I'm sure he does background checks or something.
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:Ahahaahahahahaha.
FFFan80:Myrnal?
Lithaladhwen:Yeah?
FFFan80:You know Dan's a knight, right?
Lithaladhwen:Yeah?
FFFan80:He offered me the same position, back in the day, with Dan.
FFFan80:>\/> Think about that a sec.
Lithaladhwen:I see. *tilts her head* I see.
PapatymisonN:Beer nuts.
Lithaladhwen:I don't know. You've pretty well proven you aren't going to flip out and assassinate everyone. I think that's relevant here. I don't have quite as good a history.
Lithaladhwen:I tend to travel with people and end up killing them for one reason or another.
Lithaladhwen:This can't be good for my chances.
Friday, December 15, 2006
FFFan80:o_ó
PapatymisonN:... you could always ask.
FFFan80:Why would you wanna be a knight anyway?
FFFan80:It just means you'll have your ass shackled here.
Lithaladhwen:I really don't. I don't like the idea of people giving me orders. I do much better when I can do what needs to get done.
FFFan80:Well, that settles that then.
FFFan80:*sip* -\/-
Lithaladhwen:Plus, I'll probably move to Nekonia eventually. Doma has enough mercenaries. They won't miss one sneak.
PapatymisonN:Mm. If there's one thing the King wants, it's people being comfortable under his thumb, easy to bear as it may be.
FFFan80:Yes men, in other words
FFFan80:<\/<
PapatymisonN:No. Just loyal underlings.
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, well. The king is a nice guy, but his word doesn't mean jack to me. I've never fought with him, I've never had to trust him with shit. He seems like a nice enough guy and that's all I know.
PapatymisonN:(Well that's ALL gonna change... ^_^)
PapatymisonN:... well, to be fair, the king doesn't exactly visit the mercenary boards...
FFFan80:Eh.
Lithaladhwen:Yeah? Well then is it my fault none of us give a damn?
PapatymisonN:... guess not.
FFFan80:That's not how it works anyway
FFFan80:Kings or public people never 'officially' get work.
FFFan80:They get some moron lackey to do it, so he either takes the fall or gets offed instead
FFFan80:*sip* -\/-
Lithaladhwen:*snicker*
Lithaladhwen:Like I said. I work for Hakaril.
Lithaladhwen:I know Hakaril won't screw me over, because he's had good chances and never took them.
FFFan80:¬_¬ ..........
FFFan80:Eh, whatever.
Lithaladhwen:I don't know the king. He's just a guy.
PapatymisonN:(*working furiously to not have civil war* o.o;;; )
Lithaladhwen:(Myrnal has no regard for authority. CG to the hilt, Charles.)
PapatymisonN:They're always "just a guy".
PapatymisonN:Anyways, I should go. Wife is probably wondering where I am.
Lithaladhwen:Yup. And I'm just a mercenary. It doesn't matter who has power; it matters which jobs I choose to take.
Lithaladhwen:*laughs* Wow. Dammara, let that never be me.
Lithaladhwen:Enjoy, Cardinal. Take care.
FFFan80:See ya.
PapatymisonN:You too, Myrnal. Seriously, very nice meeting the both of you.
FFFan80:Tell Dan i said hi.
PapatymisonN:I will.
PapatymisonN:*exeunt*
Lithaladhwen:(Exeunt is plural.)
Lithaladhwen:(*nitpick*)
PapatymisonN:(Exactly.)
Lithaladhwen:*watches him go* Friend of yours, Stephan?
PapatymisonN:(Unless you two plan to keep going...)
FFFan80:Not really.
Lithaladhwen:(We  may yet.)
FFFan80:Works with my brother, I guess.
PapatymisonN:(Oh. Ya do. Kay. I work in 5 hours.)
Lithaladhwen:Ah.
Lithaladhwen:(Get some sleep.)
PapatymisonN:(night, kids.)
Lithaladhwen:(My winter break began at nine pm tonight, so I'm playing!)
Lithaladhwen:Also, I wanted to thank you for being polite to Ardam before. He can be... kind of difficult. But he's a good guy.
FFFan80:Eh.
Lithaladhwen:He was one of the guys who took down Dawn's master, incidentally.
Lithaladhwen:I don't remember if I mentioned that.
FFFan80:You did.
Lithaladhwen:What I, uh... didn't mention? You know how I told you one of my friends got hurt because of... problems... I was... having?
Lithaladhwen:That was him.
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:Oh... 'that' guy...
FFFan80:....
Lithaladhwen:*swallows* Yeah.
FFFan80:That would've been... really ackward to know at the time.
Lithaladhwen:I figured it wasn't necessary.
FFFan80:*nod*
FFFan80:You seemed to get along well enough.
FFFan80:I'm guessing he's not pissed at you over it.
Lithaladhwen:You didn't need to know that I hacked him to pieces before you'd even met him. But we... yeah. He's... he's not.
Lithaladhwen:Dunno. It's complicated. He's one of ...of those. Those people. Who confuse me.
Lithaladhwen:He... apparently doesn't think about the whole thing much. Must not bother him.
FFFan80:o_ó
FFFan80:Wouldn't say that.
FFFan80:I mean.
FFFan80:I know most of the shit I do drives my brother nuts
FFFan80:But most of the time, he doens't bring it up.
FFFan80:Because we both know, it's just the way it is
FFFan80:*shrug*
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, but you guys are related. You have the whole family thing. Seems to me that makes a difference.
FFFan80:....yeah, I guess.
FFFan80:If you're expecting me to guess why he doesn't hate your guys, I dunno what to tell you.
FFFan80:I barely know the guy.
Lithaladhwen:You've basically got the gist.
Lithaladhwen:Oppression bad, happiness good.
Lithaladhwen:He's not that complicated. Just your garden variety really good guy.
FFFan80:I know that all... far too bloody well ~\/~;
FFFan80:*elsewhere!*
FFFan80:*sneezes* >_<
Lithaladhwen:Talking about Dan?
FFFan80:Oh yeah.
Lithaladhwen:I can see that. It's different with Ardam. I treat him like he's a-- *swallows and shakes her head* I get weird about him maybe, but it's not like we're related. Having a sibling is different. ...very different.
Lithaladhwen:*quickly* Not something I have to deal with, though. *sip*
FFFan80:o_ó
FFFan80:...ok.
Lithaladhwen:*salutes with her drink* I'm adopted.
FFFan80:As you've mentioned before
Lithaladhwen:Yeah. I think Yanna and Kerran are too old to take away my only-child status at this point in their lives.
FFFan80:o.ó ......
FFFan80:......
FFFan80:You think they're going to 'adopt' this Ardam guy into the family?
FFFan80:...so to speak? >_>
Lithaladhwen:Oh, Dammara no!
Lithaladhwen:I was talking about them having kids. They're much more likely to try and get me to date him.
FFFan80:.....
Lithaladhwen:They're very keen on the idea of grandbabies.
FFFan80:Aaaah.
FFFan80:Well, to repeat what I said earlier, you know my view on that bit.
FFFan80:*sip*
Lithaladhwen:Yeah, well. I narrowly escaped them finding out about my last girlfriend. Even then they still tried to set me up with a friend of the family.
Lithaladhwen:I still hang out with him and his brother, so I don't think my parents have given up hope.
Lithaladhwen:When did you tell your family? Or did they figure it out?
FFFan80:....Well.  Hmm.
FFFan80:9\/< ...Dan kinda figured it out, but he'd have been stupd not to at that time.
Lithaladhwen:I... I see.
FFFan80:And Ma... I think she was just happy to see me somewhat settled down... compared to the old days.
Lithaladhwen:IM: The "old days."
Lithaladhwen:9_< *attempts to imagine Stephan's wild days, whether they were filled with violence or debauchery or both*
FFFan80:>_>
FFFan80:Most of it wasn't good, to be blunt.
Lithaladhwen:Define "most."
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:Damn near all of it -\/- *sip*
Lithaladhwen:...
Lithaladhwen:So? You still think I should tell them? I mean, I can't just let them die of old age with the hope that someday I'll make lots of grandbabies for them?
FFFan80:>_>
FFFan80:Exactly how many times are you going to ask me this same question? o_ó
FFFan80:That I've already answered, I might add.
FFFan80:Seriously, if you want me to make the decision for you, at least say that.
Lithaladhwen:*sigh* Maybe I'm hoping you'll change your mind. I really don't want to touch this issue with them, and I'm looking for an excuse not to do it.
FFFan80:Well, you won't get one from me, sorry.  >_>
Lithaladhwen:*sigh* I need to just stop being a pussy and decide my sex life is none of their business. Because really. What the hell do they care.
Lithaladhwen:*sips* Being indecisive is useless and frustrating. Bad habit.
FFFan80:>_>
FFFan80:Weren't you the one a second ago who said they keep pestering you about grandbabies? o_ó
Lithaladhwen:Yes. But they can do that if it makes them happy. What I do with my private Myrnal sex time is none of their business and I see no reason why it ever should be.
Lithaladhwen:I'll adopt some little Argovian orphan or something.  That'll shut them up.
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:Yes, that's the perfect reason to take in a child.
FFFan80:o_ó
FFFan80:For fuck's sake.
Lithaladhwen:*laughs hard enough that she has to set her glass down*
Lithaladhwen:Sarcasm, Stephan! I thought you Baronians were born experts or something.
Lithaladhwen:...Say. I have a question. You seen Eve lately?
Lithaladhwen:Dawn's sister.
FFFan80:Not since that last day at Gunnir.
FFFan80:I'm guessing you haven't either?
Lithaladhwen:No. I felt like I should check in case she's been taking over the world or something.
FFFan80:Heh, I hear ya there.
Lithaladhwen:I try to keep an eye on these things.
FFFan80:No bloody clue where to start looking, though.
Lithaladhwen:Ah, well. Thought I'd ask.
Lithaladhwen:Listen. I need to head out. Job tomorrow in the dark hours of the morning.
Lithaladhwen:So I'll see you around.
FFFan80:*nod* I owe ya a round next time
Lithaladhwen:For what?
FFFan80:Try not to get killed, or whatever.
FFFan80:*shrug* Why not?
Lithaladhwen:...Good question. Well, I won't turn you down.
Lithaladhwen:Until then.
Lithaladhwen:No dying for you, either.
Lithaladhwen:I'm pretty sure Mid would kill somebody, and that's just a scary thought.
Lithaladhwen:Save us all the terror. *grin*
FFFan80:Heh... indeed.
FFFan80:*raises his glass* Til next time
Lithaladhwen:*drains her own glass and stands*
Lithaladhwen:See ya.
Lithaladhwen:*heads out*
Lithaladhwen:(Because holy crap am I tired.)
Lithaladhwen:</Myrnal>
Idran1701:(Night, Kai. :O)
