dragongurl4390: *Gives Tai cake*
MajorGeneralTso: ...I need to sleep. I have an 8:30 class.
MajorGeneralTso: *Puts the cake into his SUPER SECRET LURKER FRIDGE! (tm)*
Der DWSage: ...It's hidden behind the fourth wall?
J4deninj44 has entered the room.
J4deninj44: (<.&lt;-)
Mekta Satak Kai: Hullo people.
Der DWSage: I'm a people now?
MajorGeneralTso: Hello.
CGNakibe: (Less-than-three Amanda~!)
Mekta Satak Kai: Okay. I would like first gen and Lenore would like second. So we cancel out.
Mekta Satak Kai: Other people vote.
Mekta Satak Kai: NOW.
J4deninj44: Hallo, Big Texas, Hai-chan, Ken-kun, Sage-sama.
J4deninj44: FIRST!
Mekta Satak Kai: Everyone else. Vote.
Der DWSage: FIRST-NYO!
MajorGeneralTso: Negative 11th!
dragongurl4390: curses
J4deninj44: *Hugs Lenore*
Mekta Satak Kai: Okay. First.
J4deninj44: *gives her tea and cake*
Mekta Satak Kai: Someone intro us before I do it for you.
Mekta Satak Kai: You have ten seconds starting now.
J4deninj44: >:{
dragongurl4390: I may have to use Katrina
Idran1701 has entered the room.
J4deninj44: <RP TURN ON!>
dragongurl4390: Or.....Tristina
Mekta Satak Kai: *Three*
dragongurl4390: ((__))
Mekta Satak Kai: (Perentheses.)
Der DWSage: (Oh, who to use, who to use...)
J4deninj44: *It's a sparkling spring night, a little misty but warm...*
J4deninj44: *Dogs carry on conversation in the distance. The slums are rife with yells and trouble this night, the guards' armor clink and clank as they run hither-thither...*
Mekta Satak Kai: (I'll hither your thither.)
J4deninj44: (I wish you would.)
J4deninj44: (Dare ya)
Mekta Satak Kai: (Okay. Maybe I will. If I stop playing Myrnal in Gaera Charles would cry, so I probably should play her anyway.)
J4deninj44: *There's a bistro in the high class part of town and this is where our story starts, in the Rich District*
Der DWSage: (But Charles' tears are even better than the blood of the innocent for feasting!)
J4deninj44: *Bistro's Name: The Baron's House. Now start RPing, you waifs and ne'er-do-wells!!!*
Der DWSage: (...Who to use, who to use...)
Mekta Satak Kai: *There's a young woman in a red dress sitting there. She's not showing much skin, but it's certainly not hiding much for all that. Apparently she's having a good self-esteem day or something.*
Mekta Satak Kai: <Myrnal>
dragongurl4390: *A strange looking woman is outside. Her hair is very light blonde, her skin pale, her eyes white and unseeing*
dragongurl4390: <Tristina>
Der DWSage: <Why not? Kumo.>
J4deninj44: <Miang's youngest older brother, Sheng Tsung>
Der DWSage: *And walking into the bar is everyone's favorite adolescent Moogle, Kumo! Dressed in only the latest White Mage robes and with that blue-white fur of his groomed nicely, this kid is humming a cheery tune.*
dragongurl4390: *She is wearing a white gown with red triangles around all the hems and a white rope tied around her waist*
Der DWSage: 9.9
Der DWSage: ...Hey! Another White Mage.
Mekta Satak Kai: *Is sitting and eating a salad. Those who know her might be horrified to note that Myrnal looks like a girl today.*
dragongurl4390: *Looks over*
Der DWSage: *Did I mention that Kumo is all of two feet tall? My bad*
J4deninj44: *Sheng, pushes his glasses up on his nose. He wears a long green tunic with a gold phoenix design and black pantaloons*
MajorGeneralTso: *A small children bursts out of the Back Room of this Bistro, soaked in water and all sorts of cabbage in his hair* THEY'RE CUTTING WEINERS!!! AAAAAIIIIEEEeeeeee.....*With his arms flailing, he's out the door like a lightning bolt*
MajorGeneralTso: (*Lurks*)
Der DWSage: ...
Der DWSage: Uh...
Mekta Satak Kai: (...)
Mekta Satak Kai: *looks up*
Mekta Satak Kai: ...the fuck?
dragongurl4390: *Blinks her sightless eyes*
MajorGeneralTso: (Sorry. Haven't poked around with Sifore in a while. I'll be good now.)
dragongurl4390: Hmn...
dragongurl4390: *pointed ears twitch to pick up sound*
Der DWSage: That was weird, even for Doma.
dragongurl4390: *She's very petty* I agree.
dragongurl4390: *Pretty))
Mekta Satak Kai: Yeah, that was some fucked up repugnant shit right there.
dragongurl4390: *Chuckles* As you say it.
dragongurl4390: *Smiles*
Mekta Satak Kai: *snorts and takes down some of her white wine*
Der DWSage: ...Right! Back to what I was going to do.
dragongurl4390: Which is?
J4deninj44: *Sheng shares Miang's trademark eyebrows. He seems to be trying to blend in but is blushing rather profusely*
Mekta Satak Kai: Yeah. We should all just..... go ahead and repress that.
Der DWSage: Get some lunch, and maybe advertise the healing house again.
dragongurl4390: Do you work there?
dragongurl4390: <lenore> *Sitting on the roof*
Der DWSage: 'Course. And live there. And getting training from the one running the place.
J4deninj44: *6'0 Sheng stands next to 2' Kumo* 6.6
Der DWSage: 9.9 Er...yes?
dragongurl4390: That sounds fuffilling....
Mekta Satak Kai: *glances over at Sheng* IM: Lotta them around lately. Weird.
Der DWSage: *To Tristina* It's...more for personal reasons. I'm starting to show less and less aptitude for white magic, though.
dragongurl4390: *Tries to pick up on what's going on*
dragongurl4390: Oh?
J4deninj44: ... *clears his throat* What are you? I mean... if you don't mind my asking? *has a thick accent but seems to have mastered Doman Common*
Der DWSage: *To Sheng!* A Moogle.
Der DWSage: *Back to Tristina!* Yeah. I can heal decently, but...well, I'm not getting too far beyond my current lessons.
J4deninj44: Oh. I've not read about moogle yet. *bows to Kumo* It's nice to meet you.
J4deninj44: (is Myrnal blonde by any chance?)
Der DWSage: Uhm. Likewise.
dragongurl4390: ((Tristina is))
Mekta Satak Kai: (No. There's a picture on her wiki.)
Mekta Satak Kai: (She looks... almost exactly like me because she's a great big Mary Sue.)
J4deninj44: (Adorable.)
dragongurl4390: I am sorry.
J4deninj44: *walks over to Myrnal and bows, his long braid falling over his shoulder* Excuse me, ma'am, do you mind if I ask a question, please?
dragongurl4390: *Listens, Hands folded over the top of her cane*
Mekta Satak Kai: ......sure. What is it.
J4deninj44: *seems to think for a second...* Do you have a drug? Illusar, perhaps?
dragongurl4390: *Raises brows*
Mekta Satak Kai: ¬_¬ No. And if you ask me again I'll skin parts of you that you never knew you had.
Mekta Satak Kai: 'kay?
J4deninj44: *smiles* You sound like my sister. May I sit?
Mekta Satak Kai: ....*gestures to the furthest seat from her* If you sit over there.
dragongurl4390: *Walks over*
dragongurl4390: May I sit?
Mekta Satak Kai: (She walk over to Kumo or Myrnal?)
dragongurl4390: ((Myrnal))
Der DWSage: <_< >_>
Mekta Satak Kai: *glances over*
Mekta Satak Kai: ....yeah. Sure.
Der DWSage: *Goes over to the bar to order a sandwich. How convenient that it's the seat closest to Myrnal's table*
dragongurl4390: *Feels carefully for a seat, and sits* You remind me of my teacher. Perhaps the moogle would like to hear of this also...
Mekta Satak Kai: IM: Moogle? That's the term, I think. Too many critters.
Mekta Satak Kai: What?
dragongurl4390: Nothing much. A trifle really. But your manner...your wit and cutting humor....reminds me of a teacher I had once.
Der DWSage: >_>
Mekta Satak Kai: .......uh huh.
Mekta Satak Kai: You got a name?
J4deninj44: *sits across from Myrnal and eyes the crowd*
Mekta Satak Kai: Since I'm apparently everyone in everyone's past tonight.
dragongurl4390: Tristina.
Der DWSage: *Shrug* There's an old saying. "Everyone's unique, but there sure are a lot of similarities."
dragongurl4390: *Laughs*
Der DWSage: And to be fair, I don't think I've ever seen you in my life.
Mekta Satak Kai: Thank you. That's comforting.
Mekta Satak Kai: My name is Myrnal, and I'm happy to be a stranger to someone here.
Mekta Satak Kai: (mer-NAHL for the record. I have to remind people now and again.)
Der DWSage: ('Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name...')
dragongurl4390: *Smiles wryly*
J4deninj44: Miang would have screamed more. *smiles sweetly* I think you're only half as explosive as she is.
Der DWSage: Kumo.
Idran1701: (Huh. I always thought it was MER-null.)
dragongurl4390: ((Me too))
Mekta Satak Kai: Miang? I.... can't actually speak for that.
Mekta Satak Kai: (This is why I have to remind people.)
Der DWSage: White Mage Dancer for the House of Healing. Performances every day at nine AM and three PM.
Mekta Satak Kai: And nice to meet you, Kumo/
Mekta Satak Kai: *.
dragongurl4390: ((Tris-TI-nah))
Der DWSage: (Kuu-moh!)
Mekta Satak Kai: (It's mer-NAHL because it's a heavier-sounding name, and doesn't rhyme with myrtle.)
Mekta Satak Kai: IM: I.... refuse to think about whether she.... *internally shakes herself a bit* Not a good train of thought.
dragongurl4390: Nice to meet you both.
Mekta Satak Kai: Yeah, sure. You too.
J4deninj44: *taps his claws and stares like a cat at an Alahi drow drinking a light blue, glowing drink in cordial glasses*
Der DWSage: *Turns to Sheng* So. Why are you looking for Illusar?
dragongurl4390: ((What does Myrnal's voice sound like?"
dragongurl4390: *__
dragongurl4390: **))
J4deninj44: *without changing his gaze* It's...business related...
Mekta Satak Kai: (Incidentally. Myrnal does not want to know whether Miang is a screamer. This has been your regular TMI at eleven.)
Der DWSage: IM:Possibility one-he's another damn gang chief. Possibility two-he works for the Guard. Unlikely, but possible. Possibility three-He's needing it to study it.
Der DWSage: IM:Hm.
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
J4deninj44: (XD)
Mekta Satak Kai: Business-related, huh? If your business is going to become a pain in the ass for innocent bystanders, can you please take it somewhere I'm not standing by?
Mekta Satak Kai: I'm trying to have a night that doesn't involve senseless violence.
Der DWSage: >_>
J4deninj44: ...
Der DWSage: IM:...I'm leaning towards three. He's not smooth enough for a chief and doesn't look strong enough to rule by force.
J4deninj44: *Sheng is well muscled but he's a nerd, is obvious he's a nerd just one that excercises*
J4deninj44: *He'd ruin grading curves at Gunnir like a fucking...well....Lanese guy*
dragongurl4390: Business? What sort?
Der DWSage: IM:And I think the Guard was having severe restrictions in places regarding foreigners.
PapatymisonN has entered the room.
J4deninj44: *Sheng takes off his glasses and squints as he cleans them on his tunic* ...If I told you, my brother would kill me and possibly Tai and Miang too...
Mekta Satak Kai: (First gen. Myrnal, Kumo, Tristana--I think-- and Sheng.)
Mekta Satak Kai: (Upscale bar in the rich part of town. Myrnal has dressed like a girl tonight.)
J4deninj44: (This is Sheng's debut into the common RP realm.)
J4deninj44: (So I'm kind of shaky Rping him. *bows* Forgive me.)
dragongurl4390: Who, pray tell, is your brother?
Der DWSage: >_>
PapatymisonN: (... oh, I KNOW who's gotta see that...)
Der DWSage: Y'know, the last guy I saw with Illusar had a wound about about as big as me.
Mekta Satak Kai: If Tai and Miang wanted to kill you I'd help them. Just a note.
Mekta Satak Kai: Before you continue.
Mekta Satak Kai: *wink*
J4deninj44: You know them?
J4deninj44: *looks at Kumo* You know of Illusar?
Der DWSage: I'm a White Mage.
PapatymisonN: *and, entering in a well-tailored set of robes, is the king! He's even wearing his turban, sans facemask!*
Der DWSage: People get dragged in all the time, either fighting over the stuff, or fighting a guy that was on the stuff.
Der DWSage: <_<
J4deninj44: *looks at Tristana* Ah...uh...Long Tsung and Cheng Tsung. we own the Tsung compound in the slums.
Der DWSage: *Notes the king! Gives a friendly nod, and returns to conversation*
PapatymisonN: *nods back*
J4deninj44: (Charles....I could have your baby right now.)
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
PapatymisonN: ... *observes the lovely la- MYRNAL? o.o*
PapatymisonN: *she's in a nice black dress, I assume...?*
Der DWSage: *Click!*
Mekta Satak Kai: (Nope. I'll IM you.)
dragongurl4390: Hmn.
Der DWSage: *Kumo gets a lovely little lightbulb over his head, looking at Sheng again* Tsung compound.
PapatymisonN: ... by... all the gods...
PapatymisonN: *instantly sits next to her* Myrnal, you look LOVELY tonight! ^_^
Mekta Satak Kai: *growls* Yes, that's great.
dragongurl4390: *Looks over* Who is this?
Mekta Satak Kai: What do you want?
PapatymisonN: ... Oh! I was just coming in for a drink when I see one of the greater shocks of my life!
J4deninj44: *nods and smiles proudly* That's right, my grandparents and mother, Aolong, took it over a while ago.
J4deninj44: (Myrnal's lesbianism would simultaneous confuse and intrigue Miang's mother....That terrifies me.)
dragongurl4390: *A little frustrated that no one is answering her*
Der DWSage: It's his majesty the king of Doma, unless it's another impersonator.
J4deninj44: (I answered you by the way, Lenore.)
PapatymisonN: It's the real deal. ^_^ Very nice to meet you...? *searching for a name*
dragongurl4390: Tristina.
Der DWSage: Kumo. Apprentice White Mage. Saved the world once, but who hasn't?
J4deninj44: *Sheng immediately rises and stares at the king* An Argovian?
dragongurl4390: Pleased to meet you, Majesty....
Mekta Satak Kai: *rests her chin on one hand and decides to ignore Charles until he stops realizing she's a girl.*
dragongurl4390: *Ear twitch towards sheng*
PapatymisonN: ... I'm not from Argovia.
PapatymisonN: I'm ruler of this land. My family's been here for MANY generations.
Mekta Satak Kai: Yeah, what he said. >_>
J4deninj44: *looks all out of sorts, his badass demeanor crumbling*
PapatymisonN: ... it's alright. It happens.
J4deninj44: *pushes up his glasses and goes over some quick calculations* Here for generations?
dragongurl4390: *Closes her eyes*
PapatymisonN: Generations. And in Baron before that.
PapatymisonN: Past that, there are no records.
J4deninj44: Then the Shango could have planted themselves here and dealt in many things...
PapatymisonN: ... I know nothing of that.
PapatymisonN: You are going to sit down, right?
J4deninj44: *blinks* Why would I do that?
Mekta Satak Kai: Because you were sitting before.
J4deninj44: OH! I'm trying to be incognito. *nods to himself and sits*
PapatymisonN: And standing can be tiring.
Der DWSage: >_>
PapatymisonN: ... Thank you.
PapatymisonN: You were making me nervous
Der DWSage: IM:How very, very strange he is.
PapatymisonN: .
J4deninj44: *Sheng's mind starts whirring and he looks back to the Alahi drow, who has disappeared*
dragongurl4390: *Opens her white eyes and looks at the king*
Mekta Satak Kai: You got a problem, man?
Mekta Satak Kai: *to Sheng*
dragongurl4390: You majesty has a lovely voice.
Mekta Satak Kai: IM: Wow. That's fucking creepy.
PapatymisonN: Oh! Thank you. I'd like to think I've worked on my speaking voice...
Mekta Satak Kai: IM: "Tristana. You have a lovely ass." Seriously. Strange comment.
J4deninj44: ... I... I... <Dammit, this is so complicated...>
Der DWSage: >_>
Der DWSage: *Sigh* You're new at intrigue, aren't you.
dragongurl4390: Your welcome.
dragongurl4390: *You're))
PapatymisonN: ... who, me?
J4deninj44: Usually my brothers and I just beat people up.
J4deninj44: Or I'm reading.
dragongurl4390: Yes. Was that not the corrwct thing to say?
J4deninj44: *looks deep in though* But I'm the only one that has a brain among the three of them... I feel like I'm thinking too much but that's impossible!
dragongurl4390: *Ignoring Shen's rambling*
PapatymisonN: *shrugs* I play things by ear.
dragongurl4390: I shant take that as a pun.
Der DWSage: <_<
PapatymisonN: Please.
J4deninj44: *stands up* Excuse me.
PapatymisonN: ... *looks to Myrnal* Doing alright there?
Mekta Satak Kai: *glance* Yeah, fine.
Mekta Satak Kai: *low voice* I'm pretty sure he's related to this woman I met the other day. Kind of weird.
dragongurl4390: *ear twitch*
Der DWSage: ...How about we talk outside...what was your name?
PapatymisonN: *nod-
J4deninj44: *looks at Kumo* Ah...me?
Der DWSage: *Nods*
J4deninj44: *stares at Kumo then looks relieved and blushes* I'm hopeless, aren't I?
Der DWSage: Maybe. That's a good part of what I want to talk about.
dragongurl4390: *Glances at them*
J4deninj44: *nods* I'll fill you in then but be warned...I live a dangerous life. *smirks arrogantly and pushes up his glasses*
PapatymisonN: ... *quirks an eyebrow*
Der DWSage: I'm not even going to respond to that. *Begins to go outside!*
J4deninj44: *follows Kumo, tilting his head slightly*
Mekta Satak Kai: *snorts*
PapatymisonN: ... those two are ... interesting...
Mekta Satak Kai: Yeah, I dunno.
Der DWSage: *Once outside, and decently outside of hearing range!*
dragongurl4390: *Silent*
Der DWSage: First, are you just another creep trying to control an area because of some ego thing, or are you looking for Illusar for another reason?
PapatymisonN: ...
PapatymisonN: Done talking, Tristana?
J4deninj44: *takes a deeeeeep breath*
dragongurl4390: I am not sure of what to say.
dragongurl4390: **)
Der DWSage: If it's the first, I simply won't help you. I won't tell anyone, but I won't help out. >_>
J4deninj44: The Tsung family belongs to the Dong Pai Saam. What I should say is that the Black Lotus clan has been an ancestral part of the organization.
PapatymisonN: ... Myrnal, do you know her life story?
dragongurl4390: *Blinks*
Mekta Satak Kai: Uh.... what?
J4deninj44: We have our own shady dealings but we do not deal drugs. Mr. Wong likes to keep things clean on our side. The shango are our bitter enemies but...
PapatymisonN: No? Then tell it, my dear. *slightly cocky grin*
dragongurl4390: *Her sightless eyes rest on the king for a moment*
J4deninj44: We think the war has bolstered their supply of the drug Illusar. Mr. Wong thinks the Alahi are supplying them and they're hitting the richer pockets, moving out of the slums.
Der DWSage: Right.
Mekta Satak Kai: *chuckles* Smooth, Charles.
Mekta Satak Kai: What about yours, huh? I don't hear you spilling all your darkest secrets to strangers.
J4deninj44: I'm here to find their contact but as you can see, my job as support offensive magic is of no use in espionage...
PapatymisonN: It's cuz I don't HAVE dark secrets.
Der DWSage: And if you gain control of the Illusar...exactly what will you do with it?
PapatymisonN: They're grey at best.
J4deninj44: Destroy it. Like I said, Mr. Wong keeps it clean.
Der DWSage: *Nods* Alright then. We've got a common interest.
Mekta Satak Kai: Everyone has secrets. You're nobility. You're are probably more horrible than we can imagine.
dragongurl4390: My life story is not very pleasant.
PapatymisonN: ... mmm... no, not really...
PapatymisonN: ... and Tristana? That just makes it more worthy of telling.
J4deninj44: We think the nobles are ingesting the illusar in small amounts in their *thinks of the Common word* ...booze.
PapatymisonN: And the telling would probably be better for you.
PapatymisonN: Gets things off your chest.
Der DWSage: Hrm.
Mekta Satak Kai: *snorts*
dragongurl4390: Well...I was a student in my home city.
J4deninj44: *polls a glowing purplish blue vial out of his tunic* Pure Argovian Illusar. Not the cheap stuff either.
PapatymisonN: *sits back*
Mekta Satak Kai: Okay. Well if we're going to start that nonsense, you cannot get me drunk enough to participate. Tristana, it's your show.
Der DWSage: ...Right.
Der DWSage: >_> First off, how'd you get that?
J4deninj44: You won't believe who and what I had to turn inside out to get it.
dragongurl4390: Alright, Myrnal. I was learning white magic, among the other things that proper elves of my age learn.
J4deninj44: *smiles arrogantly and adjusts his glasses*
Der DWSage: No, I probably would.
Der DWSage: Regardless. Alright.
J4deninj44: But you see? Pure!
dragongurl4390: I had two wonderful teachers. One was very funny, the other was very stern. She always told me that White Magic could be just as dangerous as any other kind.
Der DWSage: ...What about it? I'd guess it'd be more expensive, and probably more potent, but what's so amazing about it?
dragongurl4390: And I found out that she was right....the hard way.
dragongurl4390: I was in an accident that stole my sight in my fitieth year.
CGNakibe has left the room.
dragongurl4390: As you must know, that is childhood for my race.
J4deninj44: The D.P.S. had cut off the Shango from Argovia. That happened in the last gang war in the slums. They've been making cheap stuff ever since, cutting the purer Illusar down.
Mekta Satak Kai: Right. Sounds like it'd suck, but you seem to be getting along all right.
J4deninj44: This...is straight from the source. They've got around our roadblocks somehow...
PapatymisonN: Mm.
dragongurl4390: Indeed. Because my teachers never gave up on me.
Der DWSage: So you're saying that they've managed to find a way around this...D.P.S. or else bribed someone on the inside?
Idran1701 has left the room.
J4deninj44: *nods*
dragongurl4390: They kept me learning because they knew I had the potential to be a great mage.
Der DWSage: Sounds troublesome.
dragongurl4390: *SMiles slightly, remembering*
J4deninj44: It is. *puts the vial in his sleeve* The Tsung have to leave soon and Mr. Wong will lose us as an edge...
Mekta Satak Kai: *shrugs* I don't do magic. If I can't stab something with my own knife in my hand, I just don't feel like I've killed it.
Mekta Satak Kai: *finishes her salad and sips the last of her wine*
Der DWSage: So you have to act fast. Which means you want someone on their inside.
PapatymisonN: ... magic has its benefits.
J4deninj44: Precisely. If the Dong Pai Saam, the D.P.S. lose the war to the Shango...Doma's going to have a lot of trouble on its hands.
J4deninj44: And therefore so is Mr. Wong.
Mekta Satak Kai: Eh.
Mekta Satak Kai: *glances out the window*
dragongurl4390: Anyway, I eventually found my way here, and have been somewhat out of work.
dragongurl4390: People seem to stumble upon me if the need is great.
dragongurl4390: *Sighs*
Der DWSage: *Ponders*
Mekta Satak Kai: *lays down a few gil next to her plate* I actually need to be heading out. So uh... Tristana, good luck with... stuff. Your highness, same.
Der DWSage: How long do you think you have?
PapatymisonN: Huh. Well, white magi are never out of luck long.
PapatymisonN: ... one thing before you go, Myrnal.
Mekta Satak Kai: What?
J4deninj44: Depends.
dragongurl4390: *Looks to Myrnal*
J4deninj44: *sighs and rubs his temples* I need to research the Dillidan Complex as well.
PapatymisonN: *twirls his finger, gesturing to the dress* What... what brought this on? Not that it's bad, quite the contrary... but I was unaware you POSSESSED a dress. o.o
J4deninj44: There's a rumor from the homeland that they've started a clan war ....
Der DWSage: The what?
J4deninj44: It's a country.
J4deninj44: Full of gwailo.
Mekta Satak Kai: e_e
J4deninj44: Uh...white people.....*looks confused then shrugs*
PapatymisonN: ... It's an honest question.
Mekta Satak Kai: I go out sometimes.
dragongurl4390: *Smiles slightly*
PapatymisonN: ... well, you look very nice. You should go out more.
Der DWSage: ...Oh, foreigners?
J4deninj44: Yes.
Der DWSage: Well, foreign to your country anyway.
Mekta Satak Kai: Yeah, well. Tell just over half the population of your country that and maybe I'll have more reason to do it.
J4deninj44: It's in Argovia.
Der DWSage: Hrm.
Mekta Satak Kai: Your highness. *little smirking courtsey*
Mekta Satak Kai: Seeya.
PapatymisonN: I do make proclamations, you know.
PapatymisonN: ^_^ Till later, Myrnal.
Der DWSage: *Shrug* No offense...but the Dillidan thing doesn't sound like it concerns me, or Doma in general.
Mekta Satak Kai: Yeah, well. I don't think you can proclaim this. *waves and leaves*
Mekta Satak Kai: </Myrnal>
Der DWSage: It's not that I care, but I think that the drugs are a bigger problem.
dragongurl4390: *Quietly* Your highness has been kind to listen to my story
J4deninj44: It doesn't. *waves his paw* It's just why, I'll be leaving soon.
Der DWSage: Alright. Let's start from the basics.
PapatymisonN: ("My people... this is an artist's rendering of Myrnal Shalienza... IN A DRESS! Go out and inform the masses... that she looks LOVELY! *cheers!*")
MajorGeneralTso: (...White people indeed.)
MajorGeneralTso: (*Lurks*)
J4deninj44: *swishes his tail and looks intently at Kumo*
Der DWSage: You're dressed wrong for any sort of spying.
Mekta Satak Kai: (Does Charles want to be assassinated?)
J4deninj44: *blinks* But...this is my best outfit....
PapatymisonN: (No. But damn if it doesn't seem like he tries sometimes. ^_^)
Der DWSage: You don't blend in at all. You're not supposed to look your best-you're supposed to look your worst, like you've spent every dime and you're trying to gather enough for your next fix.
J4deninj44: *looks appalled*
Der DWSage: Unless you had something in mind with the contact?
Der DWSage: Or was it just 'find them and work from there?'
J4deninj44: Well...they're selling to rich people so I wanted to look rich...I think I saw something suspicious but I may ...have tipped them off.
dragongurl4390: *Looks at Charles again, pondering*
Der DWSage: *Rubs his chin*
PapatymisonN: ... is there something you wished to ask me?
Der DWSage: What'd you see then?
dragongurl4390: No. I was simply thinking that if all kings were like you, there would be no war.
J4deninj44: An Alahi drow and something that looked like Illusar but they were drinking it.
J4deninj44: I mean...in wine glasses.
J4deninj44: Not in vials like slum people take it.
Der DWSage: *Nods*
Der DWSage: And...what did you think you did?
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
Der DWSage: IM:I've got a few ideas...
PapatymisonN: ... seriously, you do NOT have to kiss my ass.
PapatymisonN: I have an aide for that.
J4deninj44: I'm...a Long. *sighs* He likely assumed I'm a part of DPS.
Der DWSage: Good, at least you realize it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Everyone knows that Long are crowd control, their DPS is awful.)
J4deninj44: *blush*
dragongurl4390: THat's not what I was doing. *SMiles* I was being honest.
Der DWSage: This raises the next natural question.
Der DWSage: Any way you have of disguising your form? You obviously can't pass for a natural doman, but you could...I don't know. Shave and claim you got in a bad accident with a fire mage.
J4deninj44: *A noble walks up to the king and smiles brightly, bowing deeeeeeply*
dragongurl4390: I have no reason to kiss your ass, as you say, because I have nothing to gain or lose by doing so.
dragongurl4390: *Hears the rustle of clothes and looks over*
J4deninj44: My grandparents might know how but...I've only studied illusions like the one you speak of. I don't know them. I was hoping to just get evidence. Follow him.
J4deninj44: I can shadowwalk.
PapatymisonN: ... greetings!
PapatymisonN: ... forgive me, I've forgotten your name...
Der DWSage: Huh.
Der DWSage: *Scratches his chin, a few ideas forming*
Der DWSage: ...I know a few people who might be able to be decoys for us...
J4deninj44: Your Highness, many greetings and blessings of Ishtar on you. *kisses his rings* I am Nobleman Riverman Langley...The Third.
J4deninj44: *sparkling smile*
dragongurl4390: *Raises a brow*
PapatymisonN: ...
J4deninj44: Wait...what's your interests in Illusar?
PapatymisonN: IM: ... is this guy for real? *checks to make sure all those rings are still there*
Der DWSage: I want the bloody stuff off the streets.
J4deninj44: *blinks* You don't look like a Shango...
PapatymisonN: Well, it's nice to know your name, Riverman... please, sit!
Der DWSage: That's pretty much it. I'd definitely feel safer knowing at least one illegal substance is off the streets.
dragongurl4390: Your highness...I'm afraid I must be off.
J4deninj44: *booooooows to Tristana before sitting*
dragongurl4390: *Looks at him with white eyes*
PapatymisonN: Oh, you do? That IS a shame, Tristana. I feel like we were just getting to know one another.
dragongurl4390: Your pleasantries are wasted on me.
J4deninj44: Then I feel relieved to know it's not all on our shoulders...
J4deninj44: *blinks at Tristana, turning red like a beet*
PapatymisonN: They are only pleasantries if I did not desire to be pleasant.
PapatymisonN: *rises, and bows to her as well* It was wonderful making your acquaintance.
Der DWSage: ...Dammit, if I knew him at all, I'd go back in the bar and ask the king for help.
Der DWSage: He'd be a huge target, but I doubt he's going to take the word of an apprentice and a foreigner with vested interests.
J4deninj44: Your Majesty...a ...word please? *smile smile*
J4deninj44: The guards are trying but they can only do so much without connections...
Der DWSage: *Nods*
J4deninj44: We need someone that can get into the system and reach a Papa, their leaders. Or someone that can at least find out where their shipments are coming from....
Der DWSage: ...Hrm.
PapatymisonN: *waiting for Tristana to OFFICIALLY leave*
dragongurl4390: </Lenore>
dragongurl4390: ((See oyu guys))
J4deninj44: (Nighty)
Der DWSage: (Night.)
dragongurl4390 has left the room.
PapatymisonN: ... *and once she's gone* Speak, Riverman. ... that IS your name, right?
J4deninj44: Yes, Your Most Gracious Majesty...
PapatymisonN: ... please, PLEASE, cut the honorifics.
PapatymisonN: They give me a headache... >.<
J4deninj44: Yes, Your...ah...um...King Domanada. *blinks*
PapatymisonN: Thank you. Now what is it you need to speak to me about?
Der DWSage: ...You know, I left my sandwich in there.
Der DWSage: Hold on.
Der DWSage: *Heads back inside! Probably won't raise much of an eyebrow. Just a kid, after all!*
J4deninj44: I was wondering if you could open the Beldad Gate again. I need to get some shipments through.
PapatymisonN: ... what manner of shipments?
J4deninj44: Well, with the war I have weapons to deal. *laughs* For once it's not us experiencing hard times.
Der DWSage: *Goes to the bar for his sandwich. He can't help it if he listens...*
J4deninj44: I plan to make a mint off of it.
PapatymisonN: ... how lovely for you. Listen... River... may I call you River?
J4deninj44: Ah... Yes, Your Excellency.
PapatymisonN: River... look. (Give me five minutes or so to reread the thread.)
PapatymisonN: This is a VERY sensitive situation we're in.
Der DWSage: IM:...Hm!
PapatymisonN: VERY sensitive.
J4deninj44: ?
J4deninj44: I don't understand. War can benefit us if we sell the right goods.
PapatymisonN: ...
PapatymisonN: That is not the kind of mentality I like in my kingdom, River.
Der DWSage: IM:Eat your sandwich and think of how to turn this to a benefit...
PapatymisonN: We're not building an empire from the bones of fallen soldiers.
PapatymisonN: Period.
PapatymisonN: ... understood?
J4deninj44: ...Ah...well...
J4deninj44: Is that why you closed the portal?
PapatymisonN: Among other reasons...
PapatymisonN: ... now. Believe it or not, I am not averse to giving Beldad supplies... IF the situation demands it.
J4deninj44: I...see.
PapatymisonN: You are the first applicant to do such.
J4deninj44: *looks excited*
PapatymisonN: That means you'll be the first to be reviewed.
J4deninj44: Thank you, Your Generous Highness!
PapatymisonN: Write up a proposal, and I'll definitely look over it.
PapatymisonN: ... honorifics... >.<
J4deninj44: *bows and tries to kiss his rings* Sorry, sorry.
Der DWSage: *Keeps eating his sandwich...*
PapatymisonN: ... anyways...
PapatymisonN: If someone comes up with a better proposal, I'll go with theirs. That is a flat fact, and you'll have to accept it.
J4deninj44: Yessir...
PapatymisonN: And remember... I'll want any proposal to benefit ALL the people of Beldad, not just its generals. Is that understood?
J4deninj44: Y...Yessir...
J4deninj44: But...what about the imperialist?
PapatymisonN: Pardon?
J4deninj44: *leans in and half whispers* Well, a lot of Alahi and Senators have been...*smirks* vying for your affections and ours.
J4deninj44: It seems that they're in an arms race to take over Argovia. *smiles impishly*
J4deninj44: A perfect chance for us to make a fine mint.
Der DWSage: IM:...I didn't hear all of that, but I heard Alahi. What'd he say about Alahi, again?
Der DWSage: *Not. Turning. Around.*
PapatymisonN: ... we are in our positions to benefit THE PEOPLE, River, not line our pockets.
PapatymisonN: You keep forgetting that...
PapatymisonN: It's troubling.
J4deninj44: Of course, of course...!
J4deninj44: It's just that... Some talk has been circulating...
J4deninj44: What if the Blue drow....ally with the...black drow. *raises eyebrows*
J4deninj44: We could be next on their list.
PapatymisonN: ... family reunion, eh...?
J4deninj44: I say we get in good with them before they turn their fangs to us.
PapatymisonN: ... ... I'm not one to make decisions based on rumour, River.
PapatymisonN: If we must wait till their fangs are at our necks, that is what we must do.
J4deninj44: Besides the Alahi have been good to the nobility of late unlike the Dilldianians.
J4deninj44: They have...airships.
PapatymisonN: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: (So does Chuck.)
J4deninj44: They now control every trade route in Argovia.
J4deninj44: THINK of the goods and the money!
J4deninj44: I mean...for the people...
Der DWSage: IM:What a sleazebag.
PapatymisonN: ... you know what, River?
PapatymisonN: Your greed is turning my stomach. e_e
Der DWSage: *While River is busy being emphatic, slips back outside the door*
PapatymisonN: Consider your proposal reviewed and rejected.
J4deninj44: Your Majesty!
PapatymisonN: Now get out of my sight. e_e
Der DWSage: *...And quickly goes to where Sherm was*
J4deninj44: I...*stands in a huff* When the Alahi come after us, I won't be caught in their irons!
J4deninj44: *walks off gold clinking*
Der DWSage: I've got suspicions about this guy. Look for a noble storming out of the bar.
PapatymisonN: ... IM: If I am going to lose a war, I will lose it HONORABLY. e_e
J4deninj44: *watches the bar as Riverman storms out and heads for his manor*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (..Wait.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Why would the drow have airships? They live underground,d on't they?)
J4deninj44: (The Alahi don't.)
J4deninj44: (Acutally, they owe their fleet to the bastets who gave them the magic to fly.)
Der DWSage: (Obviously, they've all gone insane. If Drow were meant to fly, then [Insert Gaeran Diety here] would've given them jetpacks.)
J4deninj44: (Alahi are tropical drow! Sunny side up, says I!)
Der DWSage: >_>
Der DWSage: *Quietly* Follow 'im. You've got that crazy shadow jump stuff.
J4deninj44: I'll be back.
J4deninj44: *slips into a shadow and disappears*
Der DWSage: *Waits!*
Der DWSage: *No, seriously. He's got no sneaking skills at all. What's he gonna do?*
J4deninj44: *Riverman heads into his manor, Sheng waits and slips inside. Sheng returns twenty minutes later*
J4deninj44: He's taking Illusar but that's it. o__o Apparently, he laughs uncontrollably under the influence. What do you suppose he sees?
Der DWSage: ...
Der DWSage: Damn nut jobs.
Der DWSage: >_> Well, you could always tail him for a while, see who's supplying him.
J4deninj44: *smiles* Actually, I'll leave it to you. I've got a lot on my mind and as you can see...that's not helpful.
Der DWSage: ...Except I'm not really stealthy.
Der DWSage: I stand out a whole lot more than you do.
J4deninj44: *bows to Kumo* Please accept my humblest apologies but please isn't there anything you can do to help me?
Der DWSage: ...Okay, yeah. I'll get some friends of mine and see what we can do.
Der DWSage: (And in the meantime, I fucking need to sleep. Work in eight hours.)
J4deninj44: *stands* Thank you.
J4deninj44: (Yeah, I should be sleeping too.)
Der DWSage: >_> But you're keeping in touch with me, at the very least.
Der DWSage: *Hands him a business card for Jal's House of Healing, and walks off!*
J4deninj44: Of course. *takes card*
J4deninj44: </RP?>
Der DWSage: Goodnight!
PapatymisonN: </rp>
J4deninj44: Night!
J4deninj44: *falls over*
PapatymisonN: INTRIGUE.
Der DWSage has left the room.
J4deninj44: I'm always so tense when I RP war chats....
PapatymisonN: *draws Amanda a nice warm aromatic bubble bath*
J4deninj44: *soaks* x.x
PapatymisonN: ^_^ *finishes setting up the camera, and heads out of the room*
J4deninj44: <.<
PapatymisonN: *the intercom goes* Is there a problem?
J4deninj44: <.<;
PapatymisonN: *intercom* Well?
J4deninj44: *turns into an orc*
PapatymisonN: *intercom* Even BETTER... ^_^
