You have just entered room "blandlytitled."
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Der DWSage: (<_< >_>)
Der DWSage: (Sorune trembles in fear.)
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: I need someone else who knows Zea.
Lithaladhwen: Hrm.
Der DWSage: (I think I'm about to go off again...!)
Lithaladhwen: Shaun will be here in a while, and Charles won't be around until ten.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: I see.
Der DWSage: No, perhaps not.
Der DWSage: Zwee.
Lithaladhwen: I hope you'll have minimal trouble tonight. That would be truly super.
Der DWSage: It would, wouldn't it.
Arch mage144: Well, do you want to start the stuff you said you wanted to do with me now?
Lithaladhwen: Yes, please.
Arch mage144: Okay. I'm kinda hungry, though.
Der DWSage has left the room.
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Der DWSage: (Fuck a pig.)
Der DWSage: (Oh, cool, I'm back in.)
Lithaladhwen: (You didn't miss anything. I'm still typing.)
Lithaladhwen: *The notice board in Doma has always been a good way for mercenaries and other adventuring types to explore potential employment opportunities.*
Lithaladhwen: *A man in grey slacks and a green business-type shirt is hanging around the notice board with a few slips of paper in one hand, as if waiting for people to come around.*
Lithaladhwen: *He's of relatively average height and looks to be in his mid-forties. His hair's thinning a bit toward the back, but he looks well enough for his age.*
Arch mage144: *Zeke, being in the neighborhood, decides to drop by the board--he's twenty years older, making him about 47 at this point, but the guy's still active as a mercenary despite his middle-age*
Arch mage144: *his features have hardened a little since his more youthful days, and he has a couple of very noticeable facial scars, one over his eye*
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
Der DWSage: (Thought as much. This'll be interesting...)
Lithaladhwen: (His computer died without killing the screen. That's...not ever good.)
Der DWSage: ("Lost Brian. Now Sage is down and Brian is back. Now Brian's here...whoops, lost Sage.)
Lithaladhwen: (That's okay. I'll deal.)
Der DWSage: (Ah well. Just lemme know when I come in.)
Lithaladhwen: (I'll come find you. It might not be for a while, but then Shaun isn't supposed to be around for a bit.)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Effectively, Sage... you're here early.)
Arch mage144: *Zeke's clothing is no less--um--black--than it used to be, and as is typical for the mercenary, he looks like some sort of bizarre J-rocker*
Arch mage144: *a lot of his outfit features metal studs and chains, to give you an idea*
Der DWSage: (Sorune:*Mutters something along the lines of 'damn teenagers...'*
Der DWSage: )*
Arch mage144: *he peruses the message board, as per usual*
Lithaladhwen: Random Guy: Excuse me, sir. May I assume you're looking for employment?
Arch mage144: Always. *flashes a smile*
Lithaladhwen: Excellent. My name is Nagesh Jayaram. Call me Nagesh. I may have an opportunity for you.
Arch mage144: Doma is the land of opportunity.
Arch mage144: What opportunity do you have that no one else does? *grins*
Lithaladhwen: *smirk* An opportunity for someone... well, let's say circumstances demand someone with a little more finesse than your average sword-swinging mercenary. A professional.
Lithaladhwen: The real question is what can you offer that no one else does? *smile*
Arch mage144: Then I'll tell you up front. I've been a mercenary for twenty-seven years. I'm still alive.
Arch mage144: That's what I offer.
Lithaladhwen: *nod* Impressive enough. I will of course require your name if I'm going to consider hiring you.
Arch mage144: *smirks and hands him a business card*
Arch mage144: Zeke Mazuo. I'm Valthi ex-military.
Lithaladhwen: Aha. I know who you are. Excellent. If you have a moment, we could return to my office and discuss the job?
Arch mage144: I have lots of moments. I'm always working.
Lithaladhwen: Well. I promise I'll only need a few of them. *turns toward the wealthier bit of town and waves for Zeke to follow*
Arch mage144: *does so!*
Lithaladhwen: *They arrive at a rather unremarkable building with a few magical or religious symbols above the door. Think Freemason halls and the stuff they use. Not ostentatious, but noticeable.*
Lithaladhwen: *Nagesh leads Zeke inside and down a hall to an office with a nice wooden desk in it.*
Arch mage144: *enters without questioning it*
Arch mage144: *looks for a place to take a seat*
Lithaladhwen: *gestures to a chair next to the desk and sits in his own big leather desk chair*
Arch mage144: *sits*
Lithaladhwen: Well. I don't suppose I have to tell you that, in the event you choose not to take this job, anything I tell you regarding my request is to be strictly confidential.
Arch mage144: Mercenary's code of honor. You have my word that nothing leaves this room except me and my mission.
Lithaladhwen: *nod* You are, of course, under no obligations until you have whatever information you need. Fair?
Arch mage144: Fair.
Lithaladhwen: All right. We'll discuss price if you decide you're interested.
Arch mage144: Fine.
Lithaladhwen: The basic nature of the job is this:
Lithaladhwen: I need assistance with the location and retrieval of a specific person. For your convenience, this is what she looks like.
Lithaladhwen: *He pulls a round, frameless mirror out of a drawer and sets it on his desk. Above it materializes the figure of a teenaged girl in black robes with blue hair.*
Lithaladhwen: Now, there is some information you'll be needing of course.
Lithaladhwen: First of all, she is not to be harmed. Not killed at least. The reason I am only hiring one man is that sending a gang of grown men after a young girl could result in... unprofessional conduct. I'm sure you understand.
Arch mage144: Just find her? She's hotter than a Valthi flamethrower.
Der DWSage has left the room.
Arch mage144: All you want me to do is bring her to you?
Lithaladhwen: *He tilts his head briefly in thought* You see, I do not believe she will come willingly. In fact, I'm certain of it.
Lithaladhwen: I require her assistance and she has been reluctant to offer it.
Arch mage144: I don't ask too many questions. If I don't need to know what you need her for, it's not important. I'll find her. Care to give me a lead?
Lithaladhwen: I know where she lives and can readily give you that information. I would like to caution you, however. I did say you'd have whatever information you need, and I believe this is relevant.
Lithaladhwen: She has not been here long, according to our observations. Nonetheless, she has made some very powerful friends. Avoid them if possible. Catch her alone, because they will cause you problems. Serious ones.
Arch mage144: Accepted.
Lithaladhwen: Also. She is still in contact with her family, and you should be wary of them as well. Near as we can tell her father will not be a problem, or at least she has not contacted him while we've been watching her. A word on her mother.
Arch mage144: Her mother is the dangerous one? *smirks*
Lithaladhwen: Yes. She is. *He taps the mirror and another image appears, one that's actually pretty damned familiar to Zeke. It's Quinn*
Lithaladhwen: She's a very dangerous demon. Vicious. She will not hesitate to kill you.
Arch mage144: ...I know her.
Lithaladhwen: Do you?
Arch mage144: You're absolutely correct about her lack of hesitation.
Arch mage144: But I'm not worried.
Lithaladhwen: I do not know that I can offer you any protection from her, but as you aren't worried, I will choose not to worry as well. This woman *gestures to Quinn* has been seen in Doma recently.
Lithaladhwen: As you know this 'Quinn', I trust warnings are unnecessary.
Arch mage144: Like I said. She can tear a man apart down to his entrails.
Arch mage144: With her teeth.
Lithaladhwen: *grim nod* I am aware.
Arch mage144: IM: Her mouth was always nice to me, however.
Lithaladhwen: How well do you know her?
Arch mage144: Intimately.
Lithaladhwen: Don't be offended. I am concerned about a potential conflict of interests.
Arch mage144: We're friends. She would say so.
Lithaladhwen: *nod* And this will not compromise your willingness to hunt down and probably kidnap her daughter?
Arch mage144: Do you pay cash?
Lithaladhwen: *laughs* I can, on delivery. Does that make the difference?
Arch mage144: Maybe.
Arch mage144: In any case, the answer is "no."
Lithaladhwen: To the job?
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Arch mage144: No compromises.
Lithaladhwen: *looks pleased* Excellent.
Arch mage144: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: To the matter of payment, then?
Arch mage144: Name a figure.
Lithaladhwen: I'm willing to pay more than a normal mercenary job, since there will obviously be more work involved than simply killing her and proving you did it.
LovelyJester has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: *writes a nice shiny figure on a slip of paper and slides it across the desk to Zeke*
LovelyJester: (penis!)
Arch mage144: That part is usually easy.
Arch mage144: *looks at the number* That's fair.
Lithaladhwen: Excellent. You will receive this when you bring her here. *signs the bottom of the paper to prove he did indeed promise that*
Arch mage144: Is this my copy?
Lithaladhwen: Yes.
Arch mage144: You don't get a receipt, by the way. *takes the paper*
Lithaladhwen: *smirk*
Lithaladhwen: Understood.
Arch mage144: You can keep the business card, though.
Der DWSage has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: I will. Her residence is some distance from here, but as it is not yet evening I doubt she will be there. She generally works in the market in the afternoons, and does not arrive home until rather late.
Lithaladhwen: Near as I can tell, she has no plans tonight. However, I cannot guarantee it.
Lithaladhwen: Her name is Zea, and she lives at *blah blah He names an address in the shittiest slum in like bloody ever*
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow* An interesting neighborhood.
Arch mage144: People in that neighborhood probably turn up missing all the time.
Lithaladhwen: She's a necromancer. She's part of the reason why people in that neighborhood turn up missing.
Lithaladhwen: You'll find many of them in her garden.
Lithaladhwen: *taps the mirror again and Quinn's image is replaced by Zea's*
Arch mage144: Hmm. Necromancer. Interesting.
Lithaladhwen: Is there anything else you wish to know? I believe I've covered everything, but you're welcome to whatever information I can offer that will assist you.
Arch mage144: I'm set.
Arch mage144: No one gets a bullet in the head this mission if I'm lucky.
Arch mage144: IM: Or unlucky, if this turns out to be boring.
Arch mage144: IM: Go find a girl. At least she's attractive. A little young.
CGNakibe has entered the room.
Arch mage144: If there is nothing further, I'll be on my way.
Lithaladhwen: (Ew. Dirty.)
CGNakibe: (Rar.)
Lithaladhwen: *nod* I'll leave you to your work, then. There's no rush, or at the very least, feel free to take your time. I'd rather you take the time to be careful. She's no use to me dead.
Arch mage144: (Does he want Zea in carbonite?)
Lithaladhwen: (No, you fuck. Though if she survives the freezing process she'll be quite well protected.)
Lithaladhwen: (Does Zeke have access to carbonite?)
Arch mage144: (Valth is mysterious.)
Lithaladhwen: (...)
CGNakibe: (No, but if you give him a couple hours....)
Arch mage144: (Valthi political head: *turns out to be a hutt with a hooka full of frogs*)
Lithaladhwen: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: (Anyway!)
Lithaladhwen: *Zeke has been hired to do a thing. He is free to do any number of other things that may or may not relate to the first thing. What does he do?*
Arch mage144: *the thing, he's on duty*
Arch mage144: *he's always armed, so it's not like he has to go home and get his gun*
Lithaladhwen: (Aw. I thought he only carried weapons in emergencies as a last resort!)
Arch mage144: (You have Zeke confused with evil Mohandas Ghandi)
Lithaladhwen: (I LOL'd.)
Arch mage144: *Zeke goes to THE SLUMS*
CGNakibe: (This chat needs Evil Lincoln.)
Lithaladhwen: *On the way, he has to pass through the market area where just about everyone hangs out. It occurs to him it's possible to check and see if she's around there!*
Arch mage144: *well sure, obviously*
Lithaladhwen: (This chat needs Wayne Gretsky, who looks suspiciously like Lincoln with a katana.)
CGNakibe: (I can get you Wild Wing from the Mighty Ducks cartoon. o.o)
CGNakibe: (That's close, right?)
Arch mage144: (I always liked Duke.)
CGNakibe: (Good taste, methinks.)
Lithaladhwen: *He actually does see a young woman matching the image he was shown. She's still at her marketstall, selling herbs and spices and things. She's talking to a few of her customers, and so doesn't seem to notice him. She's busy.*
CGNakibe: *one of said customers being a studious-looking man who apparently is busy trying to find some spices for meals* ... so how much Oregano do you have today, miss Zea? o.o
Arch mage144: IM: Aha.
Lithaladhwen: *she gestures to one corner* It's from yesterday, so I should have plenty.
Lithaladhwen: *She's also not wearing black necromancer gear today! She's dressed like a normal person.*
CGNakibe: Despite what people say, its hard to live on conjured bread alone.
CGNakibe: Ah. Thanks. *thinks* While I'm thinking about it...
Lithaladhwen: ...Yeah. I can imagine. I never learned that. Just plants.
Arch mage144: IM: Doesn't dress like a necromancer.
Arch mage144: IM: She's a part-time grocer, or something.
CGNakibe: Haven't got a good grasp on it myself. Sometimes the bread gets up and wants to eat my knees or something.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: You need to try conjuring whole wheat or something. Maybe it'll be better-behaved.
CGNakibe: *bags up a fair share of yon spices*
Arch mage144: IM: That man is clearly a wizard.
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *walks over to the spice table*
CGNakibe: ... Hm. Could be. o.o Either that or I should try for something different. Like Sourdough.
Lithaladhwen: *weighs Solis's purchases with one hand and names a price*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, you ...I'm sorry, can I help you, sir?
Arch mage144: Yeah. You're selling spices? I need a recommendation.
Lithaladhwen: *blinks a couple of times* I-- sure. Yes. What can I help you with?
Arch mage144: Well, you actually know how to cook, right?
Arch mage144: How do I get my chili to have that restaurant flavor?
Der DWSage has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: A lot of them put in cloves. Hard to tell that's what it is until it's missing. I-- sure, would you like some? I do have a bit.
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Arch mage144: If you've got cloves, I'll take them.
Lithaladhwen: *glances back to the cloves, back at him briefly, and shakes her head a little as if clearing her thoughts* Right.
Arch mage144: Something on your mind?
CGNakibe: Miss Zea, do you have any other good spices for a chili? o.o Perhaps some peppers...
Lithaladhwen: Right! Yes. I do. Um, just a moment, Solis.
Lithaladhwen: *goes over by the cloves and looks back to Zeke, making pointed eye contact* Yeah, there is. Um. Don't worry about it. *smiles and puts a few ounces in the bag*
Lithaladhwen: How much do you want, sir?
Lithaladhwen: *She's looking at Zeke oddly, as if she's studying him*
Arch mage144: Enough for a couple pots. Maybe an ounce.
Lithaladhwen: ...Yeah. Of course. *balances out the amount*
Arch mage144: Running a spice stand is a bit like running an apothecary. *chuckles*
CGNakibe: *waits patiently, glancing at various spices*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, it... can be. Sir, may I ask you a question?
CGNakibe: IM: Lets see... I'll probably need a bit of salt too, but that depends...
Arch mage144: What?
Der DWSage has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: I-- *clears her throat a little self-consciously* What's your name?
Arch mage144: *despite being almost 50 years old, Zeke sweeps back his hair with a flourish and produces a business card8
Lithaladhwen: *She stares at it for several seconds before slowly reaching out to take it.*
Lithaladhwen: *She's staring at it like she's never seen paper before.*
Arch mage144: Zeke Mazuo. Mercenary for hire. Amateur cook.
CGNakibe: Eh? o.o Miss Zea? Is there... something wrong....
CGNakibe: Zeke Mazuo? o.O
Lithaladhwen: ....No, Solis. ....I'm fine.
CGNakibe: *stares himself* ... you know, this is the first time I've seen you in person. o.o
LovelyJester: *And in this Market, there is a catgirl. Of sorts anyway*
CGNakibe: I saw a lot of Kamos, but never you. o.o
LovelyJester: <Pure Devilmen>
Arch mage144: Yeah. Mazuo. You know my cousin, I take it. That's why you're looking at me like I'm crazy.
Lithaladhwen: *Zea abruptly turns away and pulls something out of a belt pouch*
Lithaladhwen: *She turns back around and offers Zeke an incredibly old business card. One of his.*
LovelyJester: *Is wearing a kimono as usual and looking.....a might somber for the normally madly optimistic girl*
Lithaladhwen: Here. Trade? I needed a new one anyway.
LovelyJester: *Has a basket slung over one arm and is inspecting fruit! Ah fruit. The neat thing that it is.*
Arch mage144: (Fruits Basket what?)
Arch mage144: ...
Arch mage144: I've never met you. Did you get this from a friend?
Arch mage144: It's ancient. Probably older than you are.
Lithaladhwen: It is. *looks profoundly nervous* Um, is there any chance that I could talk to you after I get off work?
CGNakibe: o.o
Arch mage144: IM: I dunno what this is about, but...
Arch mage144: IM: ...bingo.
Arch mage144: *looks at her* Certainly.
Lithaladhwen: *swallows and nods hurriedly* ...Okay. Um. Right. I... am done in a half hour. Should I come find you?
Arch mage144: I'll wait over there. *points to a park bench by a fountain* I have time to kill.
CGNakibe: You know, miss Zea... if you need to talk I can probably come back later on.
Lithaladhwen: No, Solis, you're fine.
Lithaladhwen: Um... right. I'll find you over there.
Lithaladhwen: *still looking rather shaken, she goes to tally up some stuff in Solis's corner.*
Arch mage144: *salutes militarily, pays for his cloves, and goes over to sit down*
CGNakibe: Hm. At least he isn't as immediately antagonistic as his cousin. o.o
Lithaladhwen: *glances over a couple of times to Zeke* Yeah. I don't know his cousin. I've never met either of them before.
Lithaladhwen: *snaps her pencil in half accidentally* Crap. Solis, do you have a pencil?
CGNakibe: Oh? Then... may I ask how you happened to... I think so.
CGNakibe: *checks his robes* Bah. I know there was one SOMEWHERE in he.. *and a pencil just happens to pop out of a sleeve* o.o
Lithaladhwen: ...Thanks.
CGNakibe: No problem. ^^ *hands Zea said pencil*
Lithaladhwen: And, um. I know him by reputation. He's a friend of my mother's. A good friend.
LovelyJester: *Shuffles over to the spice stand, and notes a familiar face!
Lithaladhwen: I, um. I actually came up here to find him.
CGNakibe: Oh really? *thinks, tries to remember Zea's mom*
LovelyJester: *bobs her head up and down in greeting*
Lithaladhwen: *Quinn!*
Lithaladhwen: *waves to Pure*
CGNakibe: Oh... OOOH. O.O
Lithaladhwen: Hey.
CGNakibe: Wait... >.> Him?
Lithaladhwen: *a few nods to Solis* Yeah. I, um. Yeah.
CGNakibe: Wow. Just.... I mean... wow. o.o
LovelyJester: Hello!
Lithaladhwen: What do you mean, wow?
CGNakibe: Its... well...
CGNakibe: A combination of knowing his cousin, Kamos.
LovelyJester: *her tail twitches happily and she begins to sniff various spices, seeing if anything tickles her fancy*
Arch mage144: *well out of earshot, of course*
CGNakibe: Who is... well... dedicated to his work...
CGNakibe: And, finding out that you're sort of related. o.o
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: What?
CGNakibe: Total difference.
Lithaladhwen: *Pure finds lots of nice smelling herbs and things.*
CGNakibe: Kamos was.. err... well, I know how liked guns, and doing his mercenary work, but aside from that he didn't get along with a good number of the regulars at the Jade Dragon.
Lithaladhwen: No, the related part.
Lithaladhwen: *glances back over to Zeke where he's waiting for her.*
Lithaladhwen: What did you mean?
LovelyJester: *loads several into her basket, and waits patiently for a moment to inquire price*
CGNakibe: ... He's your father, isn't he? o.o I think.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: *w* Is it that obvious?
CGNakibe: *w* Sorry. ^^;;;
CGNakibe: You DID say you were here to find him.
CGNakibe: And, well...
Lithaladhwen: *looks down* No, it's fine. It's true.
Lithaladhwen: I've... never met him. So this is, well. I'm nervous. Obviously.
Lithaladhwen: *subject change* Pure, is there something I can help you with?
LovelyJester: *bobs her head up and down*
LovelyJester: Yes! I'd like these.....
LovelyJester: And I was wondering if you had any tea?
Lithaladhwen: Sure. Yes. I do. And those are fine. *pulls out a tray with tea-stuffs in it*
CGNakibe: If... um... >.>;;; I mean.... v.v
CGNakibe: If you need me to, you know, stay here and try to help you or something, miss Zea... 9.9;;
Lithaladhwen: I... *looks about to protest* Um. ... Maybe.
CGNakibe: Or if you're really uncomfrotable, you could maybe meet with him later. o.o
Lithaladhwen: No, I need to do it now. I can't not take this chance.
CGNakibe: *nods* I understand.
LovelyJester: *Rummage attack!*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, um. Right. Pure, I'm about to close up here, so whatever you want I can total that up for you. No rush, but you're the last customer of the day.
LovelyJester: *sniffing teas like there is no tomorrow*
LovelyJester: =o.o=!!! OH!
LovelyJester: So sorry!
LovelyJester: *plucks out a fragrant tea and adds it to the basket*
Lithaladhwen: Not a problem. Take your time.
LovelyJester: no no!
LovelyJester: I do not want to delay you!
LovelyJester: *bobs her head again, making her look like the cat version of one of those bird toys*
Lithaladhwen: It's fine. I'm just meeting someone. It's not a big deal. Solis is apparently coming with.
Lithaladhwen: Pure, you remember that discussion we had about tracking down your parents because it eventually drives you crazy?
LovelyJester: =n_n=;;; This is all! I am sure!
CGNakibe: Hm.
LovelyJester: =o.o= Yes.
LovelyJester: Pure had to.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. I'm doing that.
LovelyJester: Oh!
Lithaladhwen: Solis is coming along for... moral support.
CGNakibe: ^^ Yeah.
LovelyJester: =o.o= Your father then?
Lithaladhwen: *totals up and finds sum of prices and charges and things*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. *head jerk over to Zeke* Don't say anything, okay?
LovelyJester: *puts a paw over her mouth and nods*
Lithaladhwen: He doesn't know.
LovelyJester: *digs out the appropriate gil*
LovelyJester: How do you know then?
Lithaladhwen: I know who he is. I've always known who he is. Look at him and look at me. We even look alike. I had no idea how much I look like him. *glances over her shoulder at him again*
CGNakibe: It... must be kind of odd. o.o
CGNakibe: Having him just show up like this, I mean.
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* Telling him is going to be even more odd.
CGNakibe: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: *closes up shop* Well, here goes. Public place, in case he decides to freak out that he has a daughter?
CGNakibe: ... probably a good idea. ^^;;
Lithaladhwen: *deep breath* Oookay. Here goes. Pure, you can come if you want. Again. Minimizing freakouts?
CGNakibe: ... I wish I had some luck magic in times like this...
CGNakibe: Or rather, FOR times like this.. o.o;;;
CGNakibe: Either that or surprise exams. ^^;;
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, something like that.
Lithaladhwen: *exhales and heads over by Zeke* We're going to get something to eat. *swallows* Be honored if you'd join us.
Arch mage144: Honored? You must have heard a lot of stories about me.
Lithaladhwen: You could say that. Anyway. You have plans?
Arch mage144: None.
Arch mage144: Except those that concern you.
CGNakibe: *follows, of course, looking as friendly as a somewhat confused guy can manage...*
Arch mage144: Or at least, that's the case now.
Lithaladhwen: *swallows and nods again* Okay. Um. Okay.
Lithaladhwen: *heads to Ye Olde Jade Dragon, for Ye Olde Times Sake*
Arch mage144: *goes for the sake of olde traditione*
CGNakibe: Almost like coming home again, still. ^.^ *tradition obviously suits him today*
Lithaladhwen: (I'm going to hold for Lex since she's been all quiet and things.)
CGNakibe: (Kinda wondering what's up with Sage myself. o.o He not coming?)
Lithaladhwen: (His connection is being difficult. I can get him in later.)
LovelyJester: (sorry sorry sorry important phone thingy.)
LovelyJester: I will come.
LovelyJester: I had to do something similiar once.
LovelyJester: *nods* I will help.
Lithaladhwen: *nods and grabs a table inside, pulling out a chair and sitting*
Arch mage144: *seats himself as well* I used to come here all the time. Good choice.
Lithaladhwen: (I like the color scheme we have in this RP. It's quite attractive.)
Lithaladhwen: *nods*
CGNakibe: (Actually is.)
Lithaladhwen: Um, right. You guys get whatever you want. It's on me.
CGNakibe: I used to live here, myself.
CGNakibe: It's always kinda nice to come back here, even if for a little while.
LovelyJester: (Blue + green = groovy times.)
Arch mage144: *orders a Valthka tonic and boneless fried chocobo*
Lithaladhwen: *steak and red wine for the necromancer*
CGNakibe: *orders green tea and a chicken sandwich*
LovelyJester: *Copy cats him! Green tea, mmmm*
Lithaladhwen: *food is ordered*
Lithaladhwen: *Whoo!*
CGNakibe: I'd imagine that you aren't in Doma too incredibly often of late, mister Mazuo.
Lithaladhwen: *taps the table a couple of times with her fingertips* Um, anyway. This is Pure, this is Solis, and in case you don't know him Pure...this is Zeke Mazuo.
Lithaladhwen: Introductions all around tonight.
CGNakibe: Um. Hey. ^^;;
Arch mage144: *tips his beret*
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: Um, anyway.
Lithaladhwen: (Hey, Sage.)
Arch mage144: Yes?
Der DWSage: (Fucky fuck fuck.)
Der DWSage: (Fucking connection.)
Lithaladhwen: The reason I asked you to come to dinner with us tonight is, um. It's kind of a long story.
Arch mage144: IM: Shit. She's onto me.
Arch mage144: IM: Her friends are all going to attack me. The entire inn is going to turn out to be her ally group.
Lithaladhwen: You know a woman named Quinn, right? I mean, you've met.
Arch mage144: *eyebrow raise* Yes. We have.
Der DWSage has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: So you remember her at least. That might make this easier.
Lithaladhwen: It kind of has to do with her. A bit.
Arch mage144: I could never forget her.
Arch mage144: What does this have to do with her?
Lithaladhwen: I heard about you from her.
CGNakibe: o.o
CGNakibe: That kinda explains the business card, eh? Heh. ^^;;;
Lithaladhwen: (BRB food.)
LovelyJester: (*Waits*)
LovelyJester: (GOD my mom needs to stop phoning. ARG BISCUITS.)
Arch mage144: (Backage.)
Arch mage144: Really. Were you looking for a mercenary? Did she refer you?
Lithaladhwen: Not ...exactly. But I was looking for you.
Lithaladhwen: That's... part of the reason I wanted to talk to you. What I heard, I mean. I have no reason to doubt any of it. It's just that um.
Lithaladhwen: *food arrives and is distributed*
Arch mage144: You were looking for me, but you didn't want to hire me? Hah. Perhaps she told you about the things I do when I'm...off-duty.
Arch mage144: *grins a little*
Lithaladhwen: ....Are you flirting with me?
Arch mage144: Would you like me to?
Arch mage144: *takes a drink of his tonic*
Lithaladhwen: .... *takes down about half her wine* Actually, it's kind of creepy. It's not that--- oh, hell. Never mind.
Arch mage144: What, that I'm older than you are?
LovelyJester: (ARG SORRY!)
Arch mage144: IM: I usually can't get this close to my marks.
CGNakibe: *almost chokes on a piece of his chicken sandwich at that one* >.>;;;
Lithaladhwen: ...That's ...not it.
LovelyJester: *Chokes on her drink*
Arch mage144: Oh, what is it then?
LovelyJester: =9.9=
CGNakibe: (There is a level where this is so freaking FUNNY.)
LovelyJester: *calmly sips her tea and inspects the ceiling*
Lithaladhwen: You know my mother. Better than most people and that's saying something. There are a hundred reasons why that makes this weird.
LovelyJester: IM: =Oh my! Awkward!=
Arch mage144: It's not the first time I've known someone's mother and flirted with them anyway. *smirk*
CGNakibe: *concentrates on the sandwich, and idly takes off his ornamented silk bag and places it on the table*
Lithaladhwen: I promise you, it's weird.
Lithaladhwen: But yeah. Quinn. I mean, I know you haven't seen her much over the past several years. She's... been busy. Having a kid.
CGNakibe: IM: So. Very. Wrong. >.>;;;
Arch mage144: What? Quinn? A kid? You're joking.
Lithaladhwen: Everyone always says that. But yeah.
LovelyJester: *Tail swishes at a faster rate*
Arch mage144: That can't have been an accident.
Lithaladhwen: No. Apparently she thought this one guy was worth it, and tada. Me.
CGNakibe: *hand enters said silk bag, as if Solis is hoping to find SOME way of helping this along...*
Arch mage144: The idea of Quinn deciding she likes one guy enough to bear his kid is entertaining.
Arch mage144: I haven't seen her in years.
Lithaladhwen: She's mentioned you. I hear about a lot of people she's known.
LovelyJester: >_>
LovelyJester: IM: DENSE!
Lithaladhwen: *gives "you shush" looks to her friends*
LovelyJester: *gives a slight tug on her tail to keep her from saying something*
Lithaladhwen: But she did think pretty well of this guy. Well, I mean. I've heard all about him, even if he wasn't around.
Arch mage144: I hope she speaks well of me.
Arch mage144: As well, if not more.
Arch mage144: They must have had a very...interesting...relationship.
Lithaladhwen: Um. Well. Yeah. She...um.
Lithaladhwen: *looks down for a moment*
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Der DWSage: (Fucking fucking connection.)
Lithaladhwen: She ...spoke very highly of you. But she never told you about me, did she?
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Der DWSage has left the room.
Arch mage144: *spits Valtka tonic all over Solis*
Arch mage144: What are you implying!?
Lithaladhwen: Zeke. Look at me. What do you think I'm implying?
CGNakibe: ... ewww... .>.<
Arch mage144: ...you're my daughter!?
CGNakibe: *grabs a couple... dozen towels.*
Lithaladhwen: v_v
Arch mage144: I have a daughter!?
Lithaladhwen: Um. Yes?
LovelyJester: *A tiny snort*
Arch mage144: ...with QUINN!?
LovelyJester: *Coughs into her napkin*
CGNakibe: ^_^ And... err... a beautiful daughter she is too. ^^;;;
Lithaladhwen: Yes again?
Arch mage144: My daughter is hotter than a Valthi flamethrower!
Lithaladhwen: *chokes on her wine as she's attempting to finish it*
LovelyJester: =n_n=; You are very bless--......
Arch mage144: Damn! I did a good job!
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
LovelyJester: *.....Pure is broken!*
CGNakibe: IM: Oh dear Ishtar... -.-;;;
CGNakibe: IM: ... somehow this makes SENSE.
Arch mage144: So, uh...how's life?
LovelyJester: =o_o=
LovelyJester: IM: This reaction is very scary.
Lithaladhwen: *puts one hand over her face and looks over at Zeke* ...It's all right. Been looking for you for a while. Good to meet you.
Lithaladhwen: *successfully finishes her wine this time*
Arch mage144: Hey, you too. Wow. This is news, you know. She didn't think to tell me.
LovelyJester: *tail starts ticking, and appears to be holding back quite a bit of laughter*
Arch mage144: ...come to think of which, she wouldn't.
CGNakibe: Yeah, I... guess shee wouldn't. o.o;;;
Lithaladhwen: She didn't want you to know. Eventually I made her promise not to tell you.
Lithaladhwen: I ...wanted to.
Arch mage144: She wouldn't worry about telling me because she wouldn't want me to worry about it.
Arch mage144: *scratches his head* I'm not really a father figure, Zea.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, I know. You were flirting with me earlier.
Lithaladhwen: It's okay. I understand.
Arch mage144: It isn't that. I don't have time to raise children.
Lithaladhwen: I know.
Arch mage144: Yeah, I guess she would've told you.
Lithaladhwen: She always told me that you were a good guy, but you wouldn't be happy as Mr. Father Guy.
Lithaladhwen: And... she wanted you to be able to live your life.
Arch mage144: A good guy, huh? I see.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah.
Arch mage144: ...hm.
Arch mage144: You even look like my daughter. You're clearly Valthi. I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner. Your hair is natural, isn't it?
Lithaladhwen: *slow nod*
Lithaladhwen: You don't know how weird it's always been to look in the mirror and see a guy I've never met.
Arch mage144: *takes a drink--he appears to be thinking about something*
LovelyJester: =n.n=
Lithaladhwen: Well. Maybe Pure does. *little smile*
LovelyJester: IM: This is getting better. And no freak outs. How nice.
LovelyJester: Yes.
LovelyJester: The blue part. *giggles*
Lithaladhwen: *points to her hair* Yeah. The blue part.
Lithaladhwen: You've got it.
Arch mage144: Zea, I'm going to break a rule. I have cause to break that rule under clause 47; insufficient information can be cause to terminate a contract if later information violates the worker's terms.
Lithaladhwen: ....What?
Lithaladhwen: What are you talking about?
LovelyJester: Really...
Arch mage144: I was hired to hunt you and retrieve you for an employer.
Lithaladhwen: ...
CGNakibe: ... wait, WHAT? o.O;;;
Lithaladhwen: *no reaction for a few seconds* ...What?
Arch mage144: I didn't know you were my daughter.
Arch mage144: Do you know of anyone who might be after you?
Lithaladhwen: ...*sits back in her seat as it sinks in* Reshtaha... I...
Lithaladhwen: Not offhand.
Arch mage144: I don't know his name. It isn't a question I ask.
Arch mage144: *wait, yes he does, disregard*
Arch mage144: Nagesh. Name ring a bell?
Lithaladhwen: *head shake* No. It doesn't.
Arch mage144: Very well. You have no enemies?
CGNakibe: ... could this be about the garden, miss Zea? o.o
CGNakibe: Please tell me its not, but...
LovelyJester: To, kidnap her?
Lithaladhwen: *to Solis* I doubt it.
Lithaladhwen: *head in hands* Oh, Zeke. I'm so sorry. I should have found you earlier.
CGNakibe: *nod nod* Good.
Arch mage144: Kidnap her, yes, and return her to him.
LovelyJester: How strange.
Arch mage144: So that's what Quinn has to do with this...
Arch mage144: He told me she would kill me if she found out I was pursuing you. *chuckle*
Lithaladhwen: *dry laugh* I bet. She flips out about some things.
Arch mage144: I think we would've talked before that happened.
CGNakibe: Yeah, I could see how she might do that... o.o;;;
Arch mage144: We may have wound up exchanging more than words.
Arch mage144: *slight smirk*
LovelyJester: IM: Ewwies. Definately.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well. You might have been forced to share parts of your soul, much as she'd probably regret the loss.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs again* Damn it.
Arch mage144: Somehow, that doesn't surprise me. In any event, my contract is broken.
Lithaladhwen: I'm sorry. I know that's important to you. I should have found you earlier.
LovelyJester: Maybe it is a fake name? Nagesh? *To herself mostly*
Arch mage144: It makes no difference. I likely know where to find him.
CGNakibe: It sounds rather odd.
CGNakibe: Even for Doma.
Lithaladhwen: Did he give a last name?
Arch mage144: (He's an evil maha rajah)
Lithaladhwen: (EVIL *claw gesture*)
CGNakibe: (Shut yo mouth!)
Arch mage144: (Zeke is just a penniless sitar player)
Arch mage144: Jayaram.
Lithaladhwen: ....Oh. Him.
Lithaladhwen: Fuck. He's serious.
Arch mage144: So you do know him?
Arch mage144: Tell me more.
Lithaladhwen: We've corresponded.
Arch mage144: Who is he?
CGNakibe: Jayaram? o.o Who is this, miss Zea?
Lithaladhwen: He leads this nonprofit group -slash- religious thing. He wanted me to help him with some ritual.
Lithaladhwen: He contacted me and tossed a bunch of theology at me. I told him I wasn't interested. I didn't think he needed me that badly.
CGNakibe: Apparently help is rather hard to find these days.
Arch mage144: He apparently wants you badly enough to hire people to find you and bring you to him. Is he a mage?
Lithaladhwen: Don't think so.
Lithaladhwen: Though I don't know for sure.
Lithaladhwen: I've never met him.
CGNakibe: Never can tell with some folk.
Arch mage144: I see.
Lithaladhwen: *nod to Solis*
LovelyJester: IM: People and their plots. And here I thought coming back home to Doma town meant no more schemin'.
CGNakibe: *pulls cards out of his little silk bag*
Arch mage144: Well. *stands* I need to inform him that our contract is off.
Lithaladhwen: *looks up at Zeke* ...Thank you. You don't have to do that.
Arch mage144: I'm sorry, but I do.
Arch mage144: Mercenary's code of honor: If a contract is to be broken, the employer must be informed as soon as possible.
Arch mage144: It allows another mercenary to take up the contract without delay.
Lithaladhwen: No, I don't mean that. I mean I never asked you to give up the job.
Arch mage144: Do you want me to bring you to him?
Lithaladhwen: *head shake*
CGNakibe: Hm.
Arch mage144: Then don't worry about it.
CGNakibe: ... you know. Just when I thought today was already weird... miss Zea had found her dad... things got stranger. o.o
Lithaladhwen: *nods a few times and then looks down to her plate* Stranger is right. *sigh*
CGNakibe: *holds one of his cards up to the light, as if examining it.*
Lithaladhwen: *stands to address Zeke* I know this is weird but I've wanted to do it since I was five, and you're just going to have to humor me.
Lithaladhwen: *hugs him*
Arch mage144: *looks down at the girl, being just over six feet tall*
Lithaladhwen: *lets him go*
CGNakibe: *mumble mutter, mumble... those who look might find the card is a little... reflective and shiny now?*
Lithaladhwen: See you around, then?
Arch mage144: Likely. I know where you live. *smirk*
CGNakibe: *although Zeke probably feels something. Its not like Solis is hiding it*
LovelyJester: Well at least she knows someone might be coming after her.
CGNakibe: Good luck, mister Mazuo. Hopefully we'll see you around town later.
Arch mage144: You will.
Lithaladhwen: I guess he would have told you. Let me know in advance if you stop by. There are.... things in my garden.
Lithaladhwen: They don't let anyone in.
Arch mage144: I have no plans to die.
Arch mage144: Of course. I will.
Lithaladhwen: *nods* Okay.
Arch mage144: Take care of yourself. *pats her on the head and heads out the door*
CGNakibe: (Zea Zea, quite contrary. How does your garden grow?)
Lithaladhwen: *smiles and waves to him as he leaves*
Lithaladhwen: *sits back down*
Arch mage144: (With crimson bells and body shells)
Lithaladhwen: (And skeletons all in a row.)
Arch mage144: *heads to the place where his employer hangs out*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah, he's there.*
Arch mage144: *knocks at his office door*
Lithaladhwen: *folds her arms on the table and rests her head on them with a sigh*
Lithaladhwen: *Nagesh opens the door!*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, hello. Did you need something?
Arch mage144: We need to talk. May I come in?
Lithaladhwen: Of course. Please. *motions him in*
Arch mage144: *enters, shuts the door behind him, and sits*
Lithaladhwen: *likewise sits*
Arch mage144: This is more serious than I had imagined.
Arch mage144: *removes the signed note regarding his payment and sets it on the table, then stands*
Lithaladhwen: *looks up at him with one raised eyebrow*
Arch mage144: *Zeke snaps his fingers--unless the guy's got himself some magic resistance, it feels as though his neck is in a vise*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah, it succeeds*
Lithaladhwen: *grabs for his neck*
Arch mage144: I don't hunt my children.
Lithaladhwen: Wh---what?
Arch mage144: *draws a gun with the other hand and blows his head off*
Lithaladhwen: *dies before he gets an answer!*
Lithaladhwen: *Because you see.....his secret weakness is being shot in the head.*
CGNakibe: *meanwhile* Just in case, I felt the need to give him a bit of luck. Everyone needs it sometime, right? *tries to chuckle*
CGNakibe: (OHNOES!)
Arch mage144: *holsters his weapon and walks out, closing the door behind him*
Lithaladhwen: *lifts her head from the table and nods* I guess.
Lithaladhwen: Door: *is closed*
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Hi Sage.)
Der DWSage: (*Chews a police car in half* Sorry. My connection is wanting to be buggy.)
CGNakibe: (Velkom, Sage of Ages. Or something.)
Lithaladhwen: (It's okay. I understand.)
CGNakibe: (Coffee, Tea? Explosive devices?)
Lithaladhwen: (I can wait for the next thingie to get you in. Not a problem at all.)
Arch mage144: *Zeke then begins the walk to his home at the other side of town...*
Lithaladhwen: Other side of town: *is on the other side of town*
Lithaladhwen: *Zeke finds it there.*
Arch mage144: *nods at his current residence before going inside*
Arch mage144: IM: All in a day's work.
Der DWSage: (All three, in one cup.)
Lithaladhwen: (So, Sage. We going to have to wait for you until another night?)
Lithaladhwen: (Might work better session-structure-wise at this point.)
LovelyJester: (arg must medicate dog.)
Lithaladhwen: (I don't have anything else planned for tonight unless people want to stay up until 7am RPing.)
Lithaladhwen: (Which I don't think you do.)
Lithaladhwen: (So, here endeth the GMed part.)
Lithaladhwen: So what exactly did you mean by "give him luck?"
CGNakibe: Oh. I never told you, did I? o.o
CGNakibe: My main sort of magic is... well, aside from Light, which I can barely control some days... is luck.
CGNakibe: I can literally change someone's luck for short periods if I try. And.. err... a few other things.
Lithaladhwen: *nods, still kind of spaced out*
Lithaladhwen: Damn, Solis.
CGNakibe: Usually doesn't last long enough for too much. ^^;;;
Lithaladhwen: I was so fucking nervous when I was talking to him before. He was there to kidnap me. He'd probably been watching me.
Lithaladhwen: *sigh*
CGNakibe: Although it IS kinda funny when that one guy who thought he was going to rob you falls flat on his face somehow...
CGNakibe: ... Its alright now. He didn't, and you're still here.
Lithaladhwen: And I was just nervous because he's my father.
CGNakibe: ... and you met him. o.o
Lithaladhwen: Yeah.... yeah I did. *smile* I'm glad.
CGNakibe: ^^
CGNakibe: As for this other.. thing...
Lithaladhwen: Yeah?
CGNakibe: You probably should talk to mister Sorune sometime. o.o Maybe ask him if he's willing to help you out around the store.
CGNakibe: .... o.o -.- o.o;;;
Lithaladhwen: Why?
CGNakibe: I just realized how bad things COULD have gone if Pure and I HADN'T come with you.
Lithaladhwen: ... You're right.
Der DWSage has left the room.
CGNakibe: .... *shudders* But yeah... talk to Sorune. Convince him to help out if you can.
CGNakibe: Better to have some help to deter future... problems.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* I'll be fine.
Lithaladhwen: As long as people aren't hiring my family to drag me off to gods-only-know-where, I'm really okay.
CGNakibe: That's the thing. o.o This guy could hire someone else.
CGNakibe: I mean, if he wants you bad enough to hire a mercenary...
CGNakibe: He's likely to hire another one.
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs again* Someone else I can kill. With a clear conscience, no less. I don't know that I could have fought my father seriously if it came down to that. Even if I did, I don't know how well it would have gone for me.
Lithaladhwen: I'm less worried about someone else. But I'll keep an eye out, and I'll talk to Sorune about it.
Lithaladhwen: *head shake* I couldn't have fought him. I can kill a lot of people, but I knew it was him the moment I saw him.
AngeloState606 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Tara.)
Lithaladhwen: (Jade Dragon. Zea.)
Lithaladhwen: (2 gen.)
CGNakibe: ... I... could see that. If it was my brother... *shakes head*
CGNakibe: He was like a father to me. I'm not even sure I could cast the FIRST spell....
AngeloState606: (DONE!)
AngeloState606: (Sorry...I was wrapping BM gifts...huzzah.)
Lithaladhwen: This is what I get for running around doing mercenary work instead of finding him straight off. I think I was putting it off, honestly. I shouldn't have.
Lithaladhwen: Now everything is crazy.
AngeloState606: (Crap...X is in here...*erases the previous line from X's memory)
AngeloState606: (*)
CGNakibe: Mercenary work... its almost like it runs in your family. o.o
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* Well, I figured it was like looking for a chef in a restaurant. Eventually I figured I'd hear something. Turned out that someone I was working with knew him.
Lithaladhwen: That was weird.
CGNakibe: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: My parents are apparently pretty well known. They... get around.
CGNakibe: Heh.
LovelyJester: (presents?!)
LovelyJester: (FOR ME?! :D:D:D:D:D:D)
Lithaladhwen: (Heh. That brings you back?)
LovelyJester: (Do I have to wait until the wedding?! Bring it ho!)
CGNakibe: (Looks like it works.)
AngeloState606: (*Le gasp* Damn! The memory-erase spell didn't work! *kicks at the dirt and cusses a lot)
Lithaladhwen: (Apparently!)
LovelyJester: (Sorry had to treat my puppy and she's a wiggler.)
AngeloState606: *And into the JD walks a familiar red-haired elf woman. She's dressed rather ethnically today; wearing something that looks a chinese dress*
LovelyJester: .....Get around is a terrible way to phrase that.
LovelyJester: *giggles*
AngeloState606: *She's just returned from her Igala-travels and looks refreshed and happy, carrying her lute in her hand*
AngeloState606: <Zyvanna!>
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well. It's accurate, isn't it, Pure?
Lithaladhwen: *glances over to Zyvanna and waves*
Lithaladhwen: *Zea looks tired, like she's on her last damn nerve of the day.*
AngeloState606: *Waves back, now holding a glass of wine*
AngeloState606: *Approaches Zea*
CGNakibe: IM: Glad Pure said it and not me.
AngeloState606: You look utterly spent, darling.
Lithaladhwen: You would be, too. I promise.
Lithaladhwen: How've you been? Freed any ghosts lately?
LovelyJester: *flicks her ears* Very much a night.
LovelyJester: A tough one.
AngeloState606: *She just smiles and sits with a sort of glow about her*
LovelyJester: *finishes up her tea*
Lithaladhwen: What are you so happy about?
CGNakibe: ... Its a night that deserves strong liquor. And considering I normally drink tea, that's something.
AngeloState606: No *grins*...not come across any ghosts lately.
Lithaladhwen: If you get one, would you grab me something?
AngeloState606: Oh, I've just returned from a vacation.
AngeloState606: Nekonia, mostly.
Lithaladhwen: *nods* Good deal. You look like you had a good time, or maybe glad to be back.
AngeloState606: I found it most diverting.
AngeloState606: A bit of both, actually.
AngeloState606: I had an excellent time, but I am happy to be back here.
CGNakibe: Hm. Nekonia's a fun place to visit.
Lithaladhwen: Never been there. I got up here on the surface and came straight to Doma.
LovelyJester: Yes.
LovelyJester: =n_n= I love Nekonia.
AngeloState606: I see! *Sips the wine* Perhaps you should travel there sometime. It ought to relieve your stress, whatever that may be.
LovelyJester: *is infact nekonian, and wearing traditional nekonian getups*
Lithaladhwen: I... I don't know about that.
LovelyJester: I wouldn't say that.
LovelyJester: *tail flick* But it is nice.
Lithaladhwen: I just met my father for the first time only to find out that he'd been hired to kidnap me by some random guy who wants me to assist in some ritual.
LovelyJester: Fuzzymother and I still have a home there if you decide to visit.
Lithaladhwen: A trip to Nekonia might not do the trick.
AngeloState606: How odd. *wine sip*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. Something like that.
AngeloState606: That is a most stressful situation, indeed.
Lithaladhwen: Yes it is. Especially considering he's the reason I came here in the first place.
AngeloState606: Hmm >.>
Lithaladhwen: But, according to him, he's not going to do it. I'm inclined to believe him.
AngeloState606: Well...*shoulder pat* I am happy he did not succeed in his quest.
AngeloState606: I may need more of that potion from you in the near future *smile; sip*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, right. The, uh. The --right.
CGNakibe: Potion? o.o
LovelyJester: *cocks her head to one side*
AngeloState606: *Chuckles* Surprisingly! I did not use all of it on my travels.
AngeloState606: I found most of the sights breathtaking enough to not require other diversions.
Lithaladhwen: I made her one of my mother's... energy cocktails. In fact, Zyvanna. You used them for the same thing she does.
CGNakibe: Hm.
AngeloState606: *Smiles* That would make sense considering the vivacity of your mother.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, gods. You know her, too?
Lithaladhwen: Do I even want to know?
CGNakibe: Your mom must be famous by this point. o.o;;
Lithaladhwen: I guess.
LovelyJester: =n_n= Your mom is nice.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: Pure? You too?!
LovelyJester: =o.o= She was friends with Mr. Kae.
Lithaladhwen: Oh! Yeah. Yeah, she was.
Lithaladhwen: She mentioned him.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* You are surrounded. Come out with your hands up. >:p
Lithaladhwen: No shit. I can't go anywhere. I thought I left this crap at home.
LovelyJester: I met her. She seemed a very agreeable lady.
LovelyJester: *tail flick*
LovelyJester: IM: Held onto my paw too long though.
Lithaladhwen: Pure, she is. She's very friendly, even by succubus standards.
AngeloState606: Oh, dear. I don't know her THAT well, darling.
AngeloState606: *Sip*
Lithaladhwen: Talk about having to live up to your parents. All of her friends kept asking me how old I am.
LovelyJester: ......OtherMother is a succubus.
LovelyJester: It's tough sometimes.
AngeloState606: I have met her before on casual terms. I learned much about her demeanor that night.
AngeloState606: She is a fascinating being indeed.
LovelyJester: *something clicks, and she gets a thoughtful look*
Lithaladhwen: *to Zyvanna* Most people only need the one night.
Lithaladhwen: *to Pure* Yeah, see? Someone gets it.
LovelyJester: .....Oh......*deeper* Oooooh.
LovelyJester: She knew Kae.
LovelyJester: *mutter* Jerkface.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. You two on the outs? Oh, shit! The guy you were talking about was Kae'oss?
LovelyJester: =o.o= Yes.
CGNakibe: Mew. o.o;;;
LovelyJester: I broke up with him.
LovelyJester: He was...=v.v= Being very mean.
CGNakibe: I mean, wow...
CGNakibe: (Oops. ^^;;; )
CGNakibe: Hm. I see.
Lithaladhwen: Ah. Well, you know best. He was actually at my house a few weeks ago. Weird.
Lithaladhwen: Played with a rabbit of mine.
LovelyJester: =<.<= *tailflick*
Lithaladhwen: Didn't realize you guys were on terms by now.
LovelyJester: I'd watch your bunny. He terrorized my chicken.
Lithaladhwen: What'd he do that was so mean? What do you mean terrorized your chicken?
CGNakibe: Yeah... the rabbit. o.o;;;
LovelyJester: He'd get it mad, tease it.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. Well, my rabbit was dead. Nothing he could have done would bother it.
LovelyJester: =o.o= Dance in front of the window shaking his butt and making monster faces. Dinner wanted to eat him.
Lithaladhwen: ...Uh huh.
CGNakibe: ... and why is your chicken called Dinner?
AngeloState606: Oh yes. Kae'oss.
AngeloState606: I remember him. *wine sip*
LovelyJester: er....actually. Mr. Kae was the one I was dating, er.....not...the one that I like.
AngeloState606: And the rabbit.
LovelyJester: =o.o= Because he was going to be dinner.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, I figured, Pure. He seemed all right, but I don't think I'd date him either.
LovelyJester: We bought him to make him fat.
LovelyJester: =9.9= But I liked him, and he became my pet.
AngeloState606: Hrm...dating.
LovelyJester: But he's still Dinner.
AngeloState606: *wine sip* Men are much more useful in other ways....
LovelyJester: .....*wrinkles her nose*
CGNakibe: Hm. o.o;;;
LovelyJester: He said I embarrassed him.
LovelyJester: *ears flatten close to her white hair*
Lithaladhwen: He said what? Why?
AngeloState606: Precisely!
LovelyJester: I got drunk and acted a little silly. Nothing bad. But he was mean.
LovelyJester: =._.=
Lithaladhwen: Oh. Well, forget him, then.
AngeloState606: They are far too difficult to please in a relationship setting and their minds are on only one thing anyway...
Lithaladhwen: As far as guys go, I've never really cared either way. No offense to present company. *nod to Solis*
LovelyJester: I will try...
AngeloState606: *Chuckles* But I can't criticize too much...I am the same way.
Lithaladhwen: As long as I can tell they're alive, I'm usually okay with men on principle.
LovelyJester: *nibbles the end of her tail*
CGNakibe: None taken.
CGNakibe: *w to Pure* ... he really meant a lot to you, huh?
LovelyJester: ....yes and no?
LovelyJester: He was nice.
LovelyJester: He was my first boyfriend and kiss.
LovelyJester: But we weren't right.
Lithaladhwen: Ah. Yeah. That happens. The first one never is, it seems.
LovelyJester: He was really after one thing. *pouts*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. That seems to be another commonality.
AngeloState606: *Puts a hand on Pures arm* Don't worry, child. You'll find the right one soon enough.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Maybe. Maybe not. She doesn't need to hear that, but meh.
AngeloState606: *Finishes her wine and begins strumming quietly on her lute*
Lithaladhwen: Seriously, Pure. You'll be fine.
Lithaladhwen: The first guy is always the toughest, but at least you didn't have to kill him.
Lithaladhwen: That happens sometimes.
AngeloState606: Ha! Yes, I imagine that is a most agreeable outcome.
Lithaladhwen: Killing them? Eh. Worked pretty well for me.
Lithaladhwen: He was a jerk anyway. Didn't find that out until later.
AngeloState606: >.> *snicker*
Lithaladhwen: The axe I sometimes carry? Yeah, that was his. I killed him with it.
AngeloState606: I suppose sometimes when just need killing.
AngeloState606: (*Men just need killing)
AngeloState606: (Fucking automated fingers)
Lithaladhwen: Well, yeah. Sometimes. I can't do the whole soul-sucking thing, but where there's a will there's a way.
LovelyJester: (hehehe. sorry was being swwskod.)
AngeloState606: (My brain is saying one thing, but my fingers are hearing something that rhymes with what my brain is thinking)
LovelyJester: =o.o= No.
LovelyJester: I do not want to kill Mr. Kae.
LovelyJester: Just....kick him a little.
AngeloState606: *Grins* Knew there had to be some succubi in you somewhere.
LovelyJester: Maybe on the foot.
Lithaladhwen: Heh. That works. And what do you mean some in me? Of course there is.
AngeloState606: Well, you did the right thing, Pure, from what it seems.
Lithaladhwen: But he deserved it. That was... a couple of years ago. He's been dead a while.
AngeloState606: You must demand respect otherwise men like him will walk all over you.
Lithaladhwen: Heh.
Arch mage144: http://archmage-brian.livejournal.com/
AngeloState606: Of course, being as that I'm far more liberal in my sexual encounters and not really all that interested in relationships, love-advice is not my specialty.
Arch mage144: (Wrong chat)
Lithaladhwen: Well, if you're a friend of my mother's, I kind of assumed. No offense. *wink*
AngeloState606: None taken.
Lithaladhwen: Sex is like a card game that some people are good at. There are times to play and times not to play, and you don't want to play with anyone manifestly inferior to you because it spoils the fun.
AngeloState606: I suppose there's a possibility that one day I may be swept off my feet, but it hasn't happened yet...136 years later.
AngeloState606: So, I don't expect that it will happen anytime soon.
LovelyJester: *Blushing SO bad right now*
LovelyJester: =9.9=
AngeloState606: Bravo.
AngeloState606: *notices Pure's blush*
Lithaladhwen: *smirk*
AngeloState606: So sorry.
AngeloState606: Would you like a drink?
LovelyJester: *embarrassed smile* tea?
AngeloState606: *Calls for a cup of tea*
Lithaladhwen: Well, I haven't had the best of luck with guys, but then I've been surrounded by incubi all my life.
Lithaladhwen: Good for one thing, and usually not much else.
Lithaladhwen: That one thing, though.
Lithaladhwen: I'll certainly give them points for that.
AngeloState606: *Grins* Well, now that you are in a diverse city such as Doma, surely your chances of meeting a more suitable companion will increase.
Lithaladhwen: I guess. Maybe.
LovelyJester: *drinks her tea and fidgets a little*
AngeloState606: Also...I've never encountered an Incubi.
AngeloState606: *Ponders*
LovelyJester: They are weird.
LovelyJester: =o.o= Full of smarm and sassin'.
Lithaladhwen: *incubus
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, I'll vote for that. Some are worse than others. Guy I worked with by the name of James? Pain in the ass, but at least he didn't slip me love potions all the damn time.
Lithaladhwen: Right decent of him, I guess.
Lithaladhwen: *smirk*
CGNakibe: James? James Silvar? I know him.
CGNakibe: Then again, I've been getting some magic lessons now and again from his father. Hard NOT to know him.
Lithaladhwen: His father. ...Silvar. I know that name, don't I?
CGNakibe: Yep, Doman General.
AngeloState606: (*Snicker* I laugh at myself. Then again, I'm sure Zyv wouldn't mind an Incubus orgy)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
CGNakibe: He of Many Titles. *nod nod*
Lithaladhwen: I've... only heard one or two.
CGNakibe: Lot of them come from stuff he's actually done, which is the funny part.
Lithaladhwen: You know, that's so weird. When we were working together, I was so busy trying to hide who I was that I never asked him for his last name, either.
Lithaladhwen: Isn't that the damndest thing.
CGNakibe: Irony is like that sometimes.
Lithaladhwen: Wow. o_o It just occurred to me. I can use my last name now.
Lithaladhwen: Zea Mazuo.
LovelyJester: Very nice!
Lithaladhwen: How long has it been since I've said that aloud?
Lithaladhwen: Huh.
CGNakibe: It IS a nice name.
LovelyJester: It sounds pretty together.
AngeloState606: *Nods* I guess one potentially positive thing has come out of the evenings situation.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. I was named after him, kind of. Never used my surname, though. Didn't think it was a good idea.
AngeloState606: What's your father's name?
Lithaladhwen: Zeke Mazuo.
AngeloState606: Ah...now it makes sense.
LovelyJester: *nods*
LovelyJester: I use my foster name.
LovelyJester: I think my real last name is Rowan though.
AngeloState606: Rowan? Rowan....
AngeloState606: Rowan...?
CGNakibe: Pure Rowan? Hmm.
LovelyJester: =>_>= OH PLEASE....
AngeloState606: IM: Why does that sound so familiar?
LovelyJester: ....Don't say you know him.
LovelyJester: *flattens her ears out and makes a pained face*
Lithaladhwen: ...I sure as hell don't, if that makes you feel better.
AngeloState606: >.>
LovelyJester: IM: Very possible.
CGNakibe: I can't say I do. ^^;;
AngeloState606: It does sound familiar...
LovelyJester: Well..he's kinda dead now.
AngeloState606: But nothing rings a bell right now.
LovelyJester: =<.<=;; He....er.....was a drow.
LovelyJester: ......=v.v=;;; "entertainer".
AngeloState606: A drow, eh...*the wheels are turning*
CGNakibe: Hm.
AngeloState606: IM: Damned memory loss!
AngeloState606: *Pays for her wine and Pure's tea*
AngeloState606: On that note! I must be going back to work. My breaktime has exceeded necessity.
Lithaladhwen: Well, it was good seeing you.
LovelyJester: Bye, Miss.
AngeloState606: Goodbye, everyone! *curtsies!*
LovelyJester: Thank you for my tea.
AngeloState606: *Out the door she goes*
CGNakibe: See you later! *waves*
AngeloState606: *Just as Zyvanna makes her exit, as strapping young lad comes in, holding the door for Zyvanna, in fact, as she exits*
AngeloState606: *DOLAN!*
AngeloState606: *Walks up to the bar and sits on the stool*
Lithaladhwen: Poor Zyvanna. I felt so bad for her the last time she came over.
Lithaladhwen: I think she's not as used to the dead as I am.
AngeloState606: Ale, please.
CGNakibe: Not many people are... heh. But the whole ghost thing was admittedly a little freaky. ^^;;;
LovelyJester: Ghost?
LovelyJester: A ghost in your house?
Lithaladhwen: *looks down into her plate* I've seen worse. I never used to talk to other kids when I was little because I could never tell if they were alive or haunting me.
AngeloState606: *He's wearing typical work clothes. It would appear that he's maybe been working outside all day. He's got a little bit of dirt on him, and he's got that sort-of "been sweating" look on his brow*
LovelyJester: (Marta: Hot.)
Lithaladhwen: *to Pure* Ghosts are attracted to me. It's a long story, and not a very interesting one.
LovelyJester: =o.o= How terrifying.
AngeloState606: (Dolan: Oh yeah. I'm a sexy biznitch.)
Lithaladhwen: IM: That guy is cute.
LovelyJester: That must have been very hard.
Lithaladhwen: Eh. The child ghosts weren't so bad. The grown ones sometimes were.
LovelyJester: Can you ignore them?
Lithaladhwen: Not really, no. Most of the time I can't tell they're dead unless they walk up to me with a hatchet in their face of something.
AngeloState606: *He sits and drinks his ale quietly. He hangs his head in between gulps, as if he's happy to finally be sitting down and relaxing*
LovelyJester: *Shudder*
LovelyJester: Yes, I won't press any more on the subject.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
AngeloState606: >.>
LovelyJester: I was always scared of ghosts.
AngeloState606: IM: Hatchet in their face? What in the world are they talking about?
Lithaladhwen: Just, uh... If you see me talking to empty air, let me know?
LovelyJester: =o.o= Still am. But I've never seen any.
CGNakibe: Sometimes I have to wonder how you could stand it. o.o;;
Lithaladhwen: People need to tell me these things. Sometimes I can tell and sometimes there's no difference at all.
LovelyJester: Zea must be full of the bravery. =n_n=
CGNakibe: *nod nod*
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* I thought it was normal until I was about five.
AngeloState606: *Finishes that ale and asks for another*
Lithaladhwen: I thought everyone else just ignored them.
CGNakibe: The being able to tell may have something to do with how close a place is to the Shadow plane.
Lithaladhwen: I think it has more to do with how strong the ghost is.
LovelyJester: *shudders*
Lithaladhwen: There are some that look, feel, even smell like people to me.
CGNakibe: Possibly. I've never studied ghosts.
LovelyJester: =o.o= I'm going to go get some dessert. Would you like some?
Lithaladhwen: Um. Coffee ice cream?
LovelyJester: *nods her head and smiles*
LovelyJester: Solis?
CGNakibe: Sure, why not.
LovelyJester: Back in a bit.
LovelyJester: *bounces towards the counter to order*
CGNakibe: Um... Vanilla for me!
Lithaladhwen: You promise to let me know, Solis? Just a simple, "Zea, there's no one there" would be great.
LovelyJester: *chirps out an "Got it!"*
CGNakibe: Sure, I'll do that. I could also try to banish one if they get really rude, but I can't make guarantees that it'll work.
LovelyJester: *stands at the bar near dolan*
Lithaladhwen: Whatever you want. I've never been able to get rid of them.
AngeloState606: *Starts on his new mug of ale*
Lithaladhwen: No talent for holy magic at all.
AngeloState606: *Closes his eyes and inhales*
LovelyJester: *To the waitress* I'd like one Vanilla, one coffee, and one lemon icecream scoops please! EAch in a seperate bowl. Cherries on the lemon. And whippy cream. *grins merrily*
AngeloState606: >.>
AngeloState606: That's a lot of sweets for a small lady such as yourself...
CGNakibe: TOO much in my case.
LovelyJester: =o.o= OH!
LovelyJester: They are not all for me!
CGNakibe: No control sometimes when I try to use it.
AngeloState606: *Drink*
CGNakibe: That's why I just stick to the cards.
AngeloState606: Oh...that makes sense.
LovelyJester: Coffee and lemon would taste soooooo yucky!
Lithaladhwen: Yeah? My shadow magic is similar. It calls ghosts sometimes.
AngeloState606: *Grin*
LovelyJester: *shakes her head making her hair bounce* I'm buying dessert for my friends.
Lithaladhwen: Sometimes they just show up, and sometimes it's like I can hear every person who's ever died all at once.
AngeloState606: *Looks over his shoulder at the friends she's referring to*
AngeloState606: I see. That's awful nice of you.
Lithaladhwen: *eyebrow raise and brief wave to the cute guy*
AngeloState606: *Smiles, but is obviously pretty exhausted*
CGNakibe: Meanwhile I've had to keep my rooms insulated for a few years now. You know, just in case I manage to generate enough light and heat by accident to really fry something not-me.
LovelyJester: Wanna join us?
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
AngeloState606: Hmm? Uh...
AngeloState606: Sure...why not.
LovelyJester: Good!
Lithaladhwen: You mentioned before with the whole snowman thing the reason you weren't interested in mental magic was the whole "hearing everyone" bit.
CGNakibe: Oddly, lightning I have more control with.
LovelyJester: Would you like some icecream?
Lithaladhwen: I knew exactly what you meant.
CGNakibe: Its trouble enough with very little training, believe me.
AngeloState606: No thank you, miss. I'm doin' a-okay with my ale. *holds his mug up and then takes a drink out of it*
CGNakibe: I've heard some people have to build mental walls strong enough to keep everyone's thoughts for MILES out.
LovelyJester: =o.o= Okay!
LovelyJester: I'm Pure by the way.
Lithaladhwen: The best we could do was bind my aura when I was little. I don't hear them all the time anymore.
CGNakibe: THAT scares me.
AngeloState606: Pure? Nice to meet you.
CGNakibe: Hm. *nod nod*
AngeloState606: *Drinks and hesitates a minute*
Lithaladhwen: Most of my friends when I was a kid were ghosts. In retrospect that's kind of weird.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Means you didn't have to work too hard at imaginary friends, when I think about it.
AngeloState606: Oh! How rude of me...my mother would positively whip me! I'm Dolan *Stands and bows slightly*
Lithaladhwen: That's true!
Lithaladhwen: Some of them weren't the best influences, though.
LovelyJester: Nice to meet you!
LovelyJester: Come over and I'll introduce you.
Lithaladhwen: *head shake* That was such bullshit.
LovelyJester: *picks up the icecreams and heads over to the table*
CGNakibe: Hm...?
LovelyJester: *sets down the respective icecreams in front of their consumers*
AngeloState606: *Sheepish smile* Of course. *picks up his ale and carrys it with him to the table*
Lithaladhwen: Thanks, Pure.
LovelyJester: Zea, Solis, tihs is Dolan!
LovelyJester: n_n He's gonna join us for a bit.
Lithaladhwen: Hey, Dolan. Nice to meet you. You play cards?
CGNakibe: Hey Dolan. And thanks Pure.
AngeloState606: Pleased to meet you both.
LovelyJester: *seats herself and starts playing with the whip cream on her icecream*
AngeloState606: Sure I play cards.
LovelyJester: No problem.
Lithaladhwen: I'll keep that in mind.
AngeloState606: *Sets his ale down and sits in front of it*
Lithaladhwen: Anyway, Pure.
Lithaladhwen: You missed a riveting discussion about my childhood friends.
AngeloState606: *Driiiink*
CGNakibe: On that subject, some dead folks are meant to be dead.
AngeloState606: >.>
Lithaladhwen: You have no idea. >_> If you do, I'm sorry.
LovelyJester: Oh my.
LovelyJester: Perhaps it is best I got icecream?
LovelyJester: *takes the cherry and nibbles on it*
Lithaladhwen: Maybe. You don't like the ghost talk, do you?
AngeloState606: IM: Well, this is the makings of an interestin' discussion.
CGNakibe: *shrugs* Ice cream is good, yes. *two scoops*
LovelyJester: .....I don't know. Thinking about ghosts is eerie.
LovelyJester: Afraid one my tap me on the shoulder and go BOOGA. Or something.
Lithaladhwen: They don't usually do that.
AngeloState606: *Chuckle* Ghosts, hrm?
LovelyJester: In my head they do.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, ghosts. Why?
CGNakibe: Ghosts. *nod*
AngeloState606: Never thought about those much...*drink*
LovelyJester: Ghosts speak ghostish, which is mostly odd noises, droolin' and bleeding. I'm sure that's not right at all.
LovelyJester: And lots of wailin'.
Lithaladhwen: ...The wailing is correct, but that's usually only when there are too many of them to tell what any one of them is trying to say.
AngeloState606: That's what it would seem like, anyway.
LovelyJester: *plays a bit more with her icecream trying to shape it into a cat head*
Lithaladhwen: I'm much better about it now.
AngeloState606: Better about what?
AngeloState606: O.o
Lithaladhwen: The ghost thing. They like me more than they should, and I can't always tell the difference. It's awkward, but I've met some perfectly nice ones.
AngeloState606: Huh? You mean....you can talk to ghosts?
LovelyJester: *makes whip cream ears for her icecream cat of lemon goodness*
Lithaladhwen: I don't make a habit of it, if that's what you mean.
CGNakibe: Hm. Lemon-flavored cat. *chuckles*
LovelyJester: =n_n= Sour Puss.
LovelyJester: Get it?
AngeloState606: Well...uh...not really...<.<
CGNakibe: Heh.
AngeloState606: That's just...wow...
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
Lithaladhwen: Nice one.
AngeloState606: How long have you been able to do that?
Lithaladhwen: I'm not able to do anything. It's a birth defect.
LovelyJester: *giggles and attacks part of the cats face, and eats it! Mmmmmmmm*
AngeloState606: A birth defect?
AngeloState606: IM: Blimey....
Lithaladhwen: Problem with my aura. It's weird, but more or less fixed.
Lithaladhwen: Sometimes more, sometimes less.
AngeloState606: Aura?
AngeloState606: So you're not human, then?
LovelyJester: Your magic thingy.
Lithaladhwen: ....Humans have auras.
LovelyJester: Yep!
Lithaladhwen: If someone took yours away you would die.
LovelyJester: *looks proud to know this*
AngeloState606: <.< Ah well...I don't know much about all that.
CGNakibe: Not to mention it may be a bit painful. >.>;;
AngeloState606: Good to know.
Lithaladhwen: And I'm pretty much human, for the record.
AngeloState606: I'll make sure no one touches my Aura *Wink*
LovelyJester: It'd be neat if you could keep it safe in a box.
Lithaladhwen: Your aura kind of is.... never mind. That's a long and boring explanation.
LovelyJester: I wouldn't know much. =>.>=;; I haven't had a very big education...
AngeloState606: I think...by the way you refer to it, anyway...is it akin to a soul?
CGNakibe: If its long and boring, its probably a class at Gunnir. >:P
CGNakibe: Also if it involves turning yourself or others into frogs.
Lithaladhwen: Not really. Your intellect and memories are different. It's like how your mind and your brain are different. Your mind is you, your brain is meat.
Lithaladhwen: Your aura is another layer like that.
AngeloState606: *Nods*
AngeloState606: So...your aura is you, and your body is meat?
AngeloState606: Do I understand that? *drink*
LovelyJester: ...It's kinda like your magic presence?
LovelyJester: Yes?
Lithaladhwen: Pure has it.
CGNakibe: Yeah, sort of like that.
Lithaladhwen: Everything that's alive has a magical essence in addition to their personal identity.
LovelyJester: *Wiggles a little with pride*
Lithaladhwen: You have the meat part of you, your intellect which doesn't really reside anywhere we can pinpoint, and then your magical astral parts.
Lithaladhwen: Your aura helps to separate you from everything that isn't you.
LovelyJester: IM: I sound smart. =n.n=
Lithaladhwen: If it went away, the rest of reality's life energy would poison you and you would die.
AngeloState606: *Nods; his normally bright blue eyes look a bit duller now with a long days work behind him*
CGNakibe: How well you manage your aura is seen in how good you are at casting spells, too. Some people are really talented at manipulating such.
Lithaladhwen: So, it's your life energy, and it's also a barrier between yourself and everything else.
AngeloState606: I think I understand now...*drink*
LovelyJester: *eats more lemoncat*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. There's all kinds of technical crap that doesn't matter right now.
AngeloState606: I was home-schooled growing up. My Mom usually stuck to the typical school subjects...
Lithaladhwen: Generally if you're not a mage... as long as your aura is working you don't even know it's there.
LovelyJester: I was too.
AngeloState606: We never talked much about magical things like this...
LovelyJester: Except I mostly learned about nekonian customs, cooking, dance and medicine.
Lithaladhwen: I had tutors. *points to self* Necromancer.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
LovelyJester: Nothing really practical except for the cooking.
LovelyJester: I can read in both languages though.
LovelyJester: *Proudness again*
Lithaladhwen: Nice. It's useful to be bilingual. Good skill to have.
AngeloState606: *Chuckles* Unfortunately, my interest in education only lasted long enough to learn what was necessary.
AngeloState606: I'm not like my brothers who are still striving for education.
LovelyJester: =n_n= Mages?
AngeloState606: Well...one of them is aspiring, I think, to be a mage...or maybe just a wizard.
AngeloState606: I'm not too sure. He doesn't tell me much about it.
AngeloState606: And the other is training to be an Ashuran priest.
LovelyJester: Oooh.
LovelyJester: *giggles*
LovelyJester: Their the naughty ones.
AngeloState606: But me? I'm content with running the farm and working the land.
Lithaladhwen: Ashura is good. Not my first, choice, though. Solis knows what I mean. *smirk*
CGNakibe: Working the land? Hm.
CGNakibe: Heh. Yeah, I know what you mean. ^^
LovelyJester: I'm just trying to get my dancing career started....
AngeloState606: Yeah...I suppose I may end up inheriting my Mother's store, as well.
LovelyJester: But until then, I work in the imports store.
AngeloState606: Dancing? Really? Yeah! You look like a dancer.
AngeloState606: Good luck with that.
CGNakibe: Yeah, good luck.
LovelyJester: =n_n= Yes, I want to be in the big shows at the theater.
AngeloState606: I'm sure an opportunity will come along eventually.
LovelyJester: Maybe. I can hope.
Lithaladhwen: *nod*
AngeloState606: Don't give up on it.
AngeloState606: *Driiink*
AngeloState606: But...in the case that I do inherit the store...I'll need a wife to run it...there's no way I'd be able to do it alone.
LovelyJester: .....You could ....hire somebody.
LovelyJester: Or do you just want cheap labor?
LovelyJester: *sticks out her tongue at him*
Lithaladhwen: *snort*
CGNakibe: *chuckles, and continues eating iced cream*
AngeloState606: I've no idea when that'll happen, either...*drink; stares straight ahead, as if zoning out just thinking about running the jewelry store*
LovelyJester: Cheap labor it is!
AngeloState606: Cheap labor? No...I didn't mean...um...uh..
Lithaladhwen: Heh.
LovelyJester: *giggles and finishes off her icecream*
AngeloState606: <.<
AngeloState606: v,v
Lithaladhwen: I should...*looks at the corner of the room for a while*
Lithaladhwen: *head tilt*
LovelyJester: .....Should?
AngeloState606: >.>
AngeloState606: Something the matter?
CGNakibe: Hm.
Lithaladhwen: Hm. *eats ice cream*
CGNakibe: Getting a bit late, I think. o.o
Lithaladhwen: No. Fine. Thought I recognized someone I used to know.
LovelyJester: It is.
CGNakibe: I... probably should beheading back for the night.
LovelyJester: I gotta bake a cake for fuzzy mother to take to her tomorrow.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. I should check and make sure that Nagesh Jayaram didn't hire anyone to ransack my house.
LovelyJester: It's her birthday.
LovelyJester: *Beams a cheery grin*
LovelyJester: =o.o= Yes.
AngeloState606: Ah! Well, happy birthday to...fuzzy mother.
LovelyJester: Maybe you should hire someone to find out more about him?
AngeloState606: *Drink*
CGNakibe: Look... hm..
Lithaladhwen: So, I'll see you guys later and tell your mother I said happy birthday.
LovelyJester: Okay!
Lithaladhwen: *finishes ice cream*
LovelyJester: Bye Zea!
