Lithaladhwen: We still need Tai.
CGNakibe has entered the room.
pd Rydia: his away says to bite his glorious golden ass
Lithaladhwen: Need a Taiar.
Besyanteo has entered the room.
Besyanteo: (*lurk*)
Lithaladhwen: It's cool. No perentheses needed yet.
Lithaladhwen: We still need Tai. He should just be getting home from work.
Lithaladhwen: He has to leave work by 6.5, so he won't be long I think.
PapatymisonN: *nod*
CGNakibe: Hm.
CGNakibe: Shouldn't take him too long, I think.
Besyanteo: ... that does it. I'm hunting for some benedryl or something.
CGNakibe: Bes: Good idea.
PapatymisonN: We want you at peak efficiency.
CGNakibe: Ashley: Think we should shoot a lurk-invite to Oniichan?
Lithaladhwen: Yes.
Lithaladhwen: He was actually in here.
CGNakibe: Hm.
MajorGeneralTso has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: Hey Tai!
MajorGeneralTso: Sorry about that.
Lithaladhwen: Brian is getting some food. He'll be back in a bit.
MajorGeneralTso: Kayo.
PapatymisonN: ^_^
PapatymisonN: WHEE! RPING.
MajorGeneralTso: ...I hope I remember how PS works.
Lithaladhwen: We can help.
CGNakibe: Indeed.
pd Rydia: I better get into my font color...
pd Rydia: okay
PapatymisonN: That took a while...
Arch mage144: I'm already fonted.
MajorGeneralTso: I'm always fonted.
Lithaladhwen: Your background doesn't show up in logs.
Lithaladhwen: Did you know that?
MajorGeneralTso: I did, actually...
MajorGeneralTso: But my background sometimes determine what character I am, so I go with it.
Besyanteo: I return, with food! And have taken beendryl!
Besyanteo: but spelled right.
Lithaladhwen: Keen.
PapatymisonN: Excellent.
CGNakibe: You can breathe again? Good.
Besyanteo: Breathing is good, yes.
Besyanteo: *lurks more*
Arch mage144: I can't say I've heard of internal itching, but I can imagine it
Besyanteo: It happens every so often.
Arch mage144: I'm sure it does, it makes some sense.
Besyanteo: PEt dander and thick dust does it.
CGNakibe: For me that's usually the sign that my sinuses are getting pissed.
Arch mage144: Ah, yes yes. Poor irritated bronchi.
CGNakibe: Or that I'm about to sneeze.
Arch mage144: One of my profs mentioned the other day that supposedly like 70% of adults polled did not know what the context of "for external use only" meant. They knew that it meant you should put something on the skin.
Arch mage144: But some of them thought the reason for it was that you would die or hallucinate or something if you ate whatever topical.
Arch mage144: When really the whole point is "don't, like, try to put this on your throat if it's itching or shove it up your nose"
Besyanteo: I would certainly think something bad would happen in many cases.
Arch mage144: Most of the time it would either just taste really bad or do you no good.
Arch mage144: Or both.
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
Besyanteo: if nothing else, having your bowels reject it.
CGNakibe: Welcome, Freshman.
Arch mage144: I can't imagine why you would want to eat anything with the consistency of an ointment anyway.
Besyanteo: Nor can I!
CGNakibe: Little kids eat EVERYTHING.
Arch mage144: Well, yes. =P
Choark has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (I don't need to font up for now. This will be the Kai-GM font.)
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Cho.)
PapatymisonN: (Hoi.)
CGNakibe: (This'll be Shaun-GM font, I think.)
Choark: (Yo! just lurking for kicks! Won't psam with OOC)
MajorGeneralTso: (...Whooooa...)
Lithaladhwen: (GM stealth drive INITIATE.)
Lithaladhwen: (This way people who aren't in this room won't bug me.)
Besyanteo: (I think I've made Doug mad.)
pd Rydia: (?)
Besyanteo: (He was talking about Kamos, guards, and killing people. And he mentioned how people should realize that Kamos isn't a... *copies*)
Besyanteo: ( "Kamos is not some family-friendly-lah-dee-dah-1950s-Com ic-Code-Superhero" )
Lithaladhwen: (*laugh* Wow.)
PapatymisonN: (Oy.)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, that's what every other PC is.)
Besyanteo: (I responded by informing him that Kamos is not only not that,)
Besyanteo: (Kamos is a Columbine Kid)
Lithaladhwen: (Like Myrnal and Quinn.)
Besyanteo: (He won't answer that.)
pd Rydia: (::whistles:: )
pd Rydia: (I'd say you didn't respond unreasonably)
CGNakibe: (Ow indeed.)
Lithaladhwen: (He wouldn't.)
pd Rydia: (harshly, hell yeah)
CGNakibe: (Unreasonably? Nope)
pd Rydia: (but Doug was cruisin' for a bruisin', as they say)
Arch mage144: (Not in the least)
Choark: ( I went for a 1940s comic book code myself. which is why he spanks women )
Besyanteo: (Normally, I'd feel like I was sort of jerkish for that, but...)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, if he's going to say ridiculous things, he deserves it)
Arch mage144: (That kind of comment is totally nonsensical)
Besyanteo: (*nod*)
pd Rydia: (well, if he's thinking people think Kamos is a comic book super hero, he's probably not thinking so straight ATM)
pd Rydia: (so ::shrug:: )
Besyanteo: (Whee. Anyway.)
PapatymisonN: (Rping yes.)
Lithaladhwen: (Cho: Bondage! Yay Wonder Woman.)
Besyanteo: (*quiet for the movie RP*)
Arch mage144: (I'd say he was just using that as an example to make a point, but it's a poor example, seeing as how no Gaeran characters are like that >_>; )
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah. Down in front!)
Besyanteo: (Brian: Chuck's Jackson,)
Besyanteo: (CoH style Super Hero.)
MajorGeneralTso: (...I'm missing the Super Bowl?! *Lurks*)
Besyanteo: (*quiet now*)
Arch mage144: (OK, well, only Chuck would play characters that resembled anything from any comic book.)
CGNakibe: (Ken?)
PapatymisonN: (Or, perhaps, EXACTLY resemble them. <.< )
Lithaladhwen: (Ken. I will kill you.)
MajorGeneralTso: (*Chuckles* Kidding, Kidding.)
Lithaladhwen: (And your character. And your character's characters.)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay, then.)
CGNakibe: *AHEM*
CGNakibe: *We meet our heroes at the Jade Dragon Inn, which was to Damian the logical choice of place to start from. It has been a couple of days since he left to track down the mysterious kidnappers of Joss and Solis*
CGNakibe: *And there he is, the somewhat tall and trenchcoated man looking much the worse for wear, road dust and a scowl saying that either he found nothing, or that there's something else...*
CGNakibe: (Intros, people?)
PapatymisonN: *he's been pacing since he heard.*
PapatymisonN: *somehow, he paced on his walk to the bar. And since he entered, he's been burning a hole in the floor.*
pd Rydia: ::Dia, for herself, pulled a seat up to Damian as soon as word travelled down the goblin vine that he'd come back::
PapatymisonN: *today, Cardinal's in a long grey jacket, white shirt, and denim pants, with black boots beneath*
pd Rydia: Okay, what news?
CGNakibe: *Damian takes the seat offered, yes.* I found them.
PapatymisonN: *His hair's cut, showing only the blue, but a scruff of hair graces his cheeks*
CGNakibe: Or at least found out where they're likely to be hiding at the moment.
Arch mage144: *Karis is sitting on the edge of a table, looking a little less bright and cheerful than he usually does, but not too much*
CGNakibe: As far as I can tell there are two of them, ladies both.
PapatymisonN: *sits*
MajorGeneralTso: *Taiar enjoys a seat at a table one away from the Dusty Traveller, his chair tilted back slightly onto the rear two legs and his head turned back to face the man, to better hear what he has to report...*
PapatymisonN: *pays rapt attention, eyes burning into Damian*
CGNakibe: And.. they seem to be from MY world, of all places. >.<
PapatymisonN: ... Earth?
Arch mage144: *He looks up at Damian* Your world?
Arch mage144: *blinks* You're from Earth? Like Sara?
pd Rydia: ::frowns:: You haven't talked about that place for some time.
Lithaladhwen: (Hahah, poor Karis.)
PapatymisonN: It's not uncommon.
PapatymisonN: >.>
PapatymisonN: (one sec urine.)
Arch mage144: Being from Earth is not uncommon?
CGNakibe: Cardinal?
CGNakibe: They're people I KNOW.
MajorGeneralTso: I thought otherworlders in general were a little uncommon...Not rare maybe, but uncommon.
Arch mage144: ...what? I...don't see how that makes any sense. o_O
PapatymisonN: Nope. *looks Karis right in the eye*
pd Rydia: Is anything uncommon? ::pulls on a rabbit ear::
CGNakibe: And the way I got here is an accident, so the chances are....
PapatymisonN: ... they came here intentionally.
CGNakibe: Well... fuck. *sighs*
CGNakibe: Yes.
Arch mage144: Hmm...
CGNakibe: Or it seems that way.
Arch mage144: What do you know about them, Damian? Who are they?
CGNakibe: If I had to guess they likely came here for Solis.
CGNakibe: Mages, and that's more information than you might guess.
CGNakibe: On my world magic is... uncommon at best.
pd Rydia: They want Solis because he can cast magic?
CGNakibe: The few of us that actually are able to practice it are highly prized, and kept secret.
pd Rydia: ^>.>^
CGNakibe: Yes. And likely what they want with Joss.
Arch mage144: Uncommon? Unlike being from Earth, if you're here on Gaera? *mischevious smile*
CGNakibe: Its odd, though.
CGNakibe: Heh. Yes, kind of like that.
Arch mage144: Wait...Damian, if they want magic-users, why Solis in particular? Why not kidnap a bunch of mages from this plane?
CGNakibe: That's the OTHER thing.
CGNakibe: I'm not sure if they haven't already.
CGNakibe: Who knows how long they've been here?
PapatymisonN: ...
CGNakibe: With luck they haven't been here long. -.-
pd Rydia: How could we go finding that out?
PapatymisonN: Where are they, Damian?
PapatymisonN: We need to go NOW.
CGNakibe: Northeast, from what I can tell. I lost them in the forest about there.
Arch mage144: *scratches his head* Hmm...
PapatymisonN: *stands* Is there a reason to dally?
pd Rydia: Damian, what sort of magic would these two have at their disposal?
pd Rydia: And other skills, at that? Weapons?
MajorGeneralTso: (Going with a new font, for the sake of others.)
Arch mage144: *looks at Cardinal--I don't think he and Karis have met before.*
CGNakibe: Hm. Hard to say in one case. I never did see her in action. But the other, Topaz. She always preferred water.
Arch mage144: IM: He looks a little like the General, but not quite. It could just be the hair.
CGNakibe: I'd have said she was a bit of a ditz if it wasn't for her track record.
PapatymisonN: *they haven't*
CGNakibe: She prefers much like myself, unarmed.
CGNakibe: The other appeared to be armed with some sort of weapon.
Arch mage144: *head tilt* You don't know what kind?
PapatymisonN: ... does it matter?
MajorGeneralTso: ...Never hurts to be more informed.
CGNakibe: Sadly no.
PapatymisonN: Is it non-projectile, Damian?
Arch mage144: I'm sorry. *polite bow* Your name is Cardinal, isn't it?
PapatymisonN: ... yes... *bows in response* And you?
CGNakibe: I believe so, Cardinal, but it never hurts to be sure around these folk.
pd Rydia: Of course it matters.
PapatymisonN: .... I'm sorry, I...
pd Rydia: Projectile or melee, big difference.
CGNakibe: At least there's one thing in our favor.
Arch mage144: I'm Karis Heru. A diplomat. And General Silvar's apprentice mage.
CGNakibe: I think they were expecting ME at best.
PapatymisonN: ... *offers Karis his hand*
PapatymisonN: Forgive my attitude. I'm truly worried about Joss.
Arch mage144: *shakes* I realize you have plenty of good reasons to want to rush in and save them...
pd Rydia: And they would know, at best, that your magic is shadow- and chaos-based?
Arch mage144: ...but our chances are better if we carefully evaluate the situation. The more we know, the more likely it is that we can help Joss and Solis without anyone getting hurt unnecessarily.
CGNakibe: Yes, they would.
PapatymisonN: ... this is true.
MajorGeneralTso: Tch. That may not be in my favor....
pd Rydia: Nor mine.
Arch mage144: Besides, charging in guns blazing and shouting battle cries really isn't my style! *laughs a little*
pd Rydia: But at least I don't look much like Damian. ::looks over at Damian with a bemused expression::
PapatymisonN: ... somehow, it's mine.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* I'm fairly sure they'd have noticed the wings by now.
PapatymisonN: ^_^ I have a bad habit of not thinking and getting lucky.
pd Rydia: Or ears. ::places forefingers next to the bunny ears::
Arch mage144: Mm. It works for a lot of people, a lot of the time. But you can't rely on luck forever...
CGNakibe: Wasn't sure if you wanted the ears mentioned or not.
PapatymisonN: (Daenj'r: I can! ^_^)
pd Rydia: ::chuckles::
PapatymisonN: I'll try not to.
Lithaladhwen: (Jinx: Oh, no you don't! Bad husband!)
pd Rydia: (Rai'm: Only because you're stupid.)
Lithaladhwen: (Jinx: No luckout! *paperswat*)
PapatymisonN: (Dae: Ow! And hey! LuckOut got us out of Lagnus' place!)
PapatymisonN: (Sorry. OOC.)
CGNakibe: Um... Karis, was it? I'm not the direct type either.
CGNakibe: But eh. I'm glad for any help here.
CGNakibe: I'm actually thinking the direct approach may at least be of SOME value.
pd Rydia: ::rests chin against palm and spreads her fingers upwards to cover her mouth, looking thoughtful::
CGNakibe: Since they were probably expecting to be jumped.
pd Rydia: Did they spot you, you think?
CGNakibe: No, I don't think so.
pd Rydia: And...did you get to actually see Solis and Joss?
pd Rydia: How are they?
Arch mage144: I understand, Damian. *nods* And you could be right. If there are only two of them...there are more of us, in a fight.
CGNakibe: Solis seemed to be hurt when I checked. *frowns* But Joss, he was kicking and screaming for as much as I could see.
pd Rydia: ::grin::
CGNakibe: I'm not counting on them not having more, by the way.
PapatymisonN: ... good.
CGNakibe: But still, the expected approach was surprise.
pd Rydia: We might have some unexpected help, there. Or not...
CGNakibe: I'd just prefer to change the surprise.
pd Rydia: ::frowns:: I wonder why they're still hanging around Gaera?
CGNakibe: Good question.
pd Rydia: ...were there wild lapdragons in the area?
CGNakibe: It MIGHT be because they realized this place is a veritable gold mine.
Arch mage144: If they're trying to capture mages, this is the place.
Arch mage144: Part of me hopes they find out about Gunnir.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Oh, THAT would be rich.
pd Rydia: Heh. Heheheheh.
PapatymisonN: ... *smirks*
CGNakibe: Did you hear Hakaril has moved back there?
MajorGeneralTso: ...He did?
pd Rydia: Yeah, I heard about that.
pd Rydia: He's teaching, isn't he?
CGNakibe: At the very least if they DID get to Gunnir we'd be assured competent help.
Arch mage144: *nod* He is.
pd Rydia: He shows up in here sometimes when skipping classes.
Arch mage144: I would like to see them take on a thousand Gunnir residents, some six to eight hundred mages and student mages plus their standing dragoon "military"...
MajorGeneralTso: ...I wonder if it'll be a good thing having a class of Hakaril taught students floating around Gaera.
pd Rydia: ::looks to Damian:: About the lapdragons...if there were any wild in the area, we could safely bring Azul and let him act as a scout.
PapatymisonN: ... it won't.
PapatymisonN: And it will.
CGNakibe: I'm... not sure. Wait... a few I think.
CGNakibe: But... Hm.
CGNakibe: The other thing.
CGNakibe: We're all military trained. The ones I know, anyway.
Arch mage144: "We?"
CGNakibe: I was one of them. Why do you think I know so much about the one?
pd Rydia: ::frowns, remembering past conversations::
CGNakibe: Its not something I like to talk about, honestly.
Arch mage144: *nods* Your past is your own business.
PapatymisonN: (D: My time with SOLDIER wasn't one of my proudest moments... <.< )
Arch mage144: (Cloud: At least you got in. ;_; )
PapatymisonN: Anything else we should know?
CGNakibe: Nothing else comes to mind.
PapatymisonN: Good. Let's go.
CGNakibe: Is everyone ready?
PapatymisonN: *stands* Came here as such.
MajorGeneralTso: I have no regrets. *Lets his chair hit the ground on all four legs and stands up slowly*
Arch mage144: IM: You wouldn't, would you? You're a mazoku.
CGNakibe: Hm. This is a rather strange group, I must say.
CGNakibe: But as long as we get the boys back.
pd Rydia: Put my chair back, Tai.
PapatymisonN: ... Oh.
PapatymisonN: Let me do one thing.
MajorGeneralTso: ...*Scoots the chair in*
PapatymisonN: *closes his eyes, slows his breath, and attempts to peer into the future*
PapatymisonN: (This'd be Prophecy, boss.)
MajorGeneralTso: I suppose I would have regretted not doing that.
pd Rydia: ::walks over to the pinball machine and plucks a blue lapdragon off from its top::
pd Rydia: Thank you.
Lithaladhwen: (Roll it, Charles.)
pd Rydia: Got to take care of the furniture and all.
pd Rydia: ::sticks head in The Back Room::
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
pd Rydia: Momma! You know what to do!
pd Rydia: Take good care of everything!
PapatymisonN: (Prophecy skill is 7, so...)
Lithaladhwen: (Make a normal MATK roll, man.)
Lithaladhwen: (Total it, please.)
PapatymisonN: (Oh. So 27, then.)
Arch mage144: *whistles* IM: Why do I get the feeling this is going to get much more complicated than I would like?
pd Rydia: ::hangs limply from Dia's graps, looking around the group sullenly:: e_e
Arch mage144: Oh! How cute!
CGNakibe: You should all be prepared, by the by.
pd Rydia: Already have a bag prepared and behind the bar.
PapatymisonN: ... O.O *in an ethereal, otherworldly voice* What happens if we fail... ... ...
CGNakibe: Good.
pd Rydia: Though I should add some extra stuff in for Azul. Wasn't originally planning for him.
pd Rydia: Here, Karis?
pd Rydia: Hold him please.
Arch mage144: *holds out his arms to take the lapdragon*
Arch mage144: You're not going to put him in the bag, are you?
Lithaladhwen: *Cardinal receives a brief but vivid image of two men laughing in the midst of blazing walls of holy energy and fire, mowing down everything in their path. Three guesses who they are.*
PapatymisonN: O.O
PapatymisonN: Well.
pd Rydia: ::handed over!:: No, he'll eat everything. ::goes into The Back Room::
CGNakibe: He seems to be in a bad mood.
CGNakibe: Good.
PapatymisonN: We had best get to them before they're perverted to the ideals of Damian's old friends, or they'll raze the world...
CGNakibe: If so, Azul feels like I do. e.e
PapatymisonN: ... which one, I'm not sure.
Arch mage144: *holds the little dragon, providing appropriate support for his hindquarters*
pd Rydia: Mriaop.
PapatymisonN: Let's hurry. ^^;
Arch mage144: IM: Like a kitten, only more scales.
pd Rydia: ::certainly feels as boneless as a sleepy kitten! Or at least a kitten who doesn't want to be moved::
MajorGeneralTso: ...Could be both!
PapatymisonN: Yes indeed.
PapatymisonN: Can we get moving?
pd Rydia: ::snuffles Karis's hands for eveidence of food::
pd Rydia: ::returns!::
pd Rydia: Back. Sorry, I got waylaid by Big Momma.
Arch mage144: *isn't holding anything edible, unless you count the lapdragon himself*
PapatymisonN: It's fine.
pd Rydia: ::grabs bag and pushes new stuff into it::
pd Rydia: IM: Doesn't this person eat or make food? He doesn't even -smell- like food.
pd Rydia: v_v
MajorGeneralTso: ...Aw, You made it sad Karis.
MajorGeneralTso: Which is good for me usually, but that's besides the point.
Lithaladhwen: (Tai, you'd know.)
CGNakibe: Heh. You WOULD know.
CGNakibe: Wouldn't you?
pd Rydia: He's probably just hungry.
pd Rydia: Which, well, is pretty normal.
CGNakibe: Might be.
MajorGeneralTso: Hey, I know my food as well as you people probably know your's. <.<...
pd Rydia: He'll get fat if he eats whenever he wants food, though.
PapatymisonN: IM: ... I will coexist with the demon, and not slay it. I will COEXIST with the demon, and NOT slay it. *repeats this over and over...*
Arch mage144: Yeah, I bet he eats a lot. He's pretty heavy. *looks down at the lapdragon* Heavier than you'd expect, anyway.
Arch mage144: I don't usually carry snacks suitable for a little dragon on me, though...
CGNakibe: Hm.
pd Rydia: Yeah, they always are. You should try picking up Fluffy sometime!
Arch mage144: That reminds me. Do you think this is going to be a long trip? I didn't exactly pack for one...
pd Rydia: ::nods:: Northeast, you said, in the forest. About how far? Any other significant landmarks?
CGNakibe: Its a good thirty minutes walk.
Arch mage144: Oh, not so bad, then, unless we get in a tough situation...
PapatymisonN: We should be fine.
PapatymisonN: Let's go.
pd Rydia: Hm...
MajorGeneralTso: ...I'm tempted to say we always get into a tough situation, if that's not jinxing the trip...
pd Rydia: I've packed food.
CGNakibe: Tough situation probably isn't out of the question.
pd Rydia: It's routine.
pd Rydia: It's Doma.
PapatymisonN: Agreed.
PapatymisonN: Let's go.
pd Rydia: Indeed, might as well get started.
PapatymisonN: *edging towards the door...*
MajorGeneralTso: I imagine I'll make good on the way, if we fight a struggle. *Smiles a bit*
MajorGeneralTso: food*
MajorGeneralTso: -a struggle*
pd Rydia: Feel free to stay here, Damian, Momma knows.
Arch mage144: IM: That almost sounds like some kind of proverb.
pd Rydia: ::walks past Cardinal and out the door::
MajorGeneralTso: (...And that is a sign I need to eat. So...Dinner. Be back as quick as I can.)
PapatymisonN: *follows her thusly!*
pd Rydia: (k)
CGNakibe: *nods* Good luck.
CGNakibe: And... bring the boys home.
MajorGeneralTso: *Moves to start this adventure as well*
pd Rydia: ::looks up, and mutters a begrudging prayer to Ryuugami::
Arch mage144: *proceeds after the others, humming faintly*
CGNakibe: IM: Don't worry boss. They'll be safe. ... you actually think so? .... nope! e.e Hey, they'll be back, right?
CGNakibe: IM: That counts for something, right? e.e
CGNakibe: *And thusly did the group start to their adventure through the forest*
PapatymisonN: *is kinda going faster than forest travel would normally allow...*
CGNakibe: *filled with danger... wait... the place is rather calm for "dangerous"*
CGNakibe: *... actually its quite nice. Fresh air, a brisk but-not-too-cold day, bright sun out, and the birds are singing.*
pd Rydia: ::just so! As Cardinal is doing the whole superhuman offworlder thing, Dia is happy to take a pace or two behind, keeping en ear (haha) out for the unusual, as per usual::
CGNakibe: *BOOM*
PapatymisonN: (Jackson Myers: Hey! That
PapatymisonN: s MY job!)
PapatymisonN: o.o
CGNakibe: *Yeah, explosions count as unusual*
pd Rydia: ::Azul, meanwhile, has wriggled his way free of Karis and has begun slunking around in the underbrush::
PapatymisonN: *double time!*
CGNakibe: *As does the smoke trail that seems to be rising from the forest nearby.*
Arch mage144: *Well, shit, we don't like random stuff in the forest blowing up
Arch mage144: *
CGNakibe: (Everyone roll INT)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
PapatymisonN: (19.)
OnlineHost: pd Rydia rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Arch mage144: (16)

Lithaladhwen: (Int*3+d20)
CGNakibe: (Intuition x 3)

CGNakibe: *Coughing, followed by "Where'd they go?!?"*

CGNakibe: *Everyone, however, can hear what follows* THEY WENT THIS WAY!
pd Rydia: ::winces::
CGNakibe: Oh, when I get my hands on those little brats..
PapatymisonN: ... *grin*
pd Rydia: ::tries to figure out where the two speakers might be relative to each other::
MajorGeneralTso: (...Moo. I return and stuff.)
pd Rydia: (wb!)
CGNakibe: *Dia gets a decent fix on the voice that seems to have seen where the boys went*
MajorGeneralTso: (Thanks.)
pd Rydia: ::heads in that direction!::
PapatymisonN: *... follows!*
MajorGeneralTso: *Follows Dia*
Arch mage144: *chases after*
CGNakibe: Dammit! I thought you said we were WATCHING them. I WAS. I thought you said they weren't trained!
CGNakibe: *The party is rapidly approaching two ladies, who are busy running about*
pd Rydia: ::stops just before coming across the two, looks back at the group with a, 'OKAY, now what?' expression::
CGNakibe: *one of the ladies is dressed pretty lightly for the cold about this time of year, and the other is dressed more warmly, with some sort of ..... earmuff things on her ear.*
CGNakibe: *They're too small to keep one's ears warm, oddly.*
CGNakibe: *looks back* Who the hell are these folks? I don't know.
pd Rydia: ::smiles and shrugs::
CGNakibe: *the lightly dressed lady stops for a moment and looks at the group, slightly confused*
pd Rydia: Hi!
CGNakibe: Eh? o.o *stops and just stares*
MajorGeneralTso: I guess we don't need to consider a course of action now.
pd Rydia: I was wondering if you needed help. It's kind of dangerous here in the fae forest, and it sounded like you were in trouble.
pd Rydia: What with the yelling and all. Are you alright?
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
THENinjaRabbi has left the room.
OMG Archmage has entered the room.
pd Rydia: (wb)
OMG Archmage has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *blinks* Just travellers passing through.
CGNakibe: Oh, no no. We're not in trouble. We... Um... Just need to track down our cousins. Family is so much trouble, right sis? Yeah, trouble. *and a weird pink thing comes out of her mouth
pd Rydia: You don't need to be modest, Karis.
pd Rydia: You're some of the best herb hunters around.
CGNakibe: *POP*
pd Rydia: That's why I asked you to come with me.
CGNakibe: *chew chew*
PapatymisonN: ... IM: Weird.
Arch mage144: It's true. *nods* I understand that the mushrooms are excellent this time of year, as well.
Arch mage144: But I'm not as good at identifying those.
pd Rydia: Well, that's why it's a group effort!
MajorGeneralTso: ...You always did lack in your fugus studies.
PapatymisonN: ... exactly!
pd Rydia: Speaking of group efforts, can we help you two, then?
THENinjaRabbi has entered the room.
pd Rydia: I understand family troubles, myself.
CGNakibe: No no.. .I um... I think we've got it. Thanks anyway.
pd Rydia: Got a son. Adopted. ::scratches the back of her neck with genuine embarrassment::
pd Rydia: Are you sure? It wouldn't be any trouble!
CGNakibe: *they start off then* Oh?
CGNakibe: *looks at the other one for a moment*
CGNakibe: Well, they seem harmless enough...
CGNakibe: <.< *Shrugs* *pop*
PapatymisonN: *GRIN!* ^_^
pd Rydia: ::looks confused, and then sticks tongue out at Cardinal:: They're talking about you.
PapatymisonN: IM: That's right. Harmless. Utterly and completely non-threatening.
PapatymisonN: *w* Yep.
Arch mage144: *nods*
MajorGeneralTso: Huzzah.
CGNakibe: Yes, well, I think they went this way... Um... Thank you. *looks genuinely pleased... just a bit*
pd Rydia: I hope you can pluck the mushrooms this time.
CGNakibe: *looks BORED. More than a little bit.*
pd Rydia: Oh! Alright!
CGNakibe: *and suddenly those earmuffs of hers start softly making music for no apparent reason*
PapatymisonN: ... o.o
CGNakibe: Where'd they go again? This way, I think.
pd Rydia: C'mon, gang! We've got some kids to find.
PapatymisonN: IM: Curious... they must be from m- I mean, EARTH'S future...
PapatymisonN: Lead the way!
Arch mage144: Yeah, alright. I'm going to keep my eyes open for mushrooms, though. I'm going to be really disappointed if we can't find any morels.
pd Rydia: Yeah, so will Momma.
Lithaladhwen: (Morels are some tasty fucking mushrooms.)
CGNakibe: *isn't it nice when people help each other?*
CGNakibe: (Karis may get lucky and find a Magic Truffle)
MajorGeneralTso: (*Straps a Pig's Nose to Karis' face*)
Arch mage144: (He clearly needs to trip on this adventure, so that he can recover precious PP)
MajorGeneralTso: (You could always just buy the Magic Tarts.)
CGNakibe: *BOOM*
PapatymisonN: *is "searching" for truffles, kicking up the bases of trees and whatnot...*
pd Rydia: ::starts searching around in earnest for the kids!::
pd Rydia: Whoa!
CGNakibe: Uh oh... ... *and there is smoke*
pd Rydia: Are those your cousins causing that ruckus?
pd Rydia: Or are they...they might be hurt!
pd Rydia: ::dashes off for the smoke!::
Arch mage144: Oh, no! This goes against everything Dusky the Bear told us!
Arch mage144: *chasing*
pd Rydia: IM: I am so full of shit, I am so full of shit, I am so full of shit, I am--so glad to be running, it feels good.
PapatymisonN: *takes off!*
MajorGeneralTso: *Follows* IM: Dusky the What?
CGNakibe: *The woods. The woods. The woods are on FIRE*
PapatymisonN: IM: Can't wait to kill those twin whores... e_e
CGNakibe: Um.... We MAY need to take care of that. <.<;;
Arch mage144: *Like, how much fire?*
pd Rydia: T*p*: Azul? Can you find Solis? Is he near enough to talk to?
CGNakibe: *A couple trees... whoops, make that a half dozen, and growing fast*
pd Rydia: ::snuffs about::
pd Rydia: Not good...anyone a fire or water mage?
PapatymisonN: ... *and then it occurs to him...*
CGNakibe: *Solis-smells can sorta be smelled. Smoke is still more popular*
PapatymisonN: o.o IM: We may be too late... they may have already been changed...
MajorGeneralTso: I have a little knowledge of Ice in my Magical Inventory.
Arch mage144: *looks up at the trees* This is going to go poorly if we don't do something, and quickly.
PapatymisonN: I know some fire magic, but not nearly enough to be called a fire MAGE...
Arch mage144: *starts murmuring and holds out his hands*
pd Rydia: Well, you're human, so I doubt you can firewalk...
CGNakibe: *starts... dancing? Step heel step kick step*
Arch mage144: Elemental plane of water, open yourself and flood the world of mortals! Create Water!
pd Rydia: ::starts following the smell of Solis, and guessing where the smell is too faint::
MajorGeneralTso: *Clenches his fist and prepares himself to cast an Icicle Lance...*
CGNakibe: *water rains down from Karis' spell.*
Arch mage144: (Karis is going to create 20 gallons of water, as his typical spell, and propel it toward the burning trees; whatever extra that costs is up to you.)
pd Rydia: ::pulls hood up--::
CGNakibe: *.... although.... has it ever been that much water before? Karis doesn't think so*
CGNakibe: There. *sighs* That's better.
Arch mage144: ...whew.
CGNakibe: *Anyone bring an umbrella for this quick shower?*
MajorGeneralTso: *Cuts himself short though* ...Wow, You do that really well. >.>...
PapatymisonN: ... yeah... o.o
Arch mage144: Dusky would be proud! *thumbs up to no one in particular*
PapatymisonN: ... I'm sure.
PapatymisonN: IM: Who the HELL is Dusky?
Lithaladhwen: *As the smoke clears, they can see two small figures ducking through the undergrowth, away from the explosion. Hard to tell which is which, but one is dragging the other by the hand to keep him from falling behind.*
pd Rydia: ::sprint!::
PapatymisonN: o.o *cuts himself short of calling their names, knowing that would give him away*
PapatymisonN: *but runs anyways!*
CGNakibe: *DASH*
MajorGeneralTso: *Word Which Means To Move Quickly!*
Arch mage144: *chases after the kids, Cardinal, Dia, bad guys, etc*
Arch mage144: *this quickly becomes an episode of Scooby Doo; all we need is a hallway with lots of doors, we're already doing the chase scene*
PapatymisonN: (Roh no! Ross! Rolis! REEEEEEEEEEEELP!)
CGNakibe: *frowns* *looks over at the other one*
pd Rydia: Guys, I don't think we can get any more mushrooms...
CGNakibe: I think they're still behind us!
pd Rydia: SOLIS! JOSS!
Lithaladhwen: Just run! *shove*
Arch mage144: IM: Lapdragon's out of the bag, now...
pd Rydia: HEY GUYS! IT'S DIA!
CGNakibe: *Stops* *and turns* Damn. Real funny.
PapatymisonN: ... Joss... o.o
CGNakibe: *pant pant* Its... Miss Dia!
PapatymisonN: JOSS, ARE YOU ALRIGHT? o.o
Lithaladhwen: Solis, you *pant* just don't worry about them!
Lithaladhwen: Keep going!
pd Rydia: I'm laughin' my ass off!
CGNakibe: Hey. We didn't know you knew the kids. >.>
CGNakibe: Been here long, huh? *pop*
PapatymisonN: ... nor did we! *continues to the boys...*
MajorGeneralTso: ...Yeah, Small Planet huh? <.<...
CGNakibe: (Charles would do be the kindness of making a MDef roll)
pd Rydia: ::pauses, and then begins a summon chant::

PapatymisonN: (That's... 14.5.)
MajorGeneralTso: (He had an MDef roll too.)
PapatymisonN: (Yeah, I know.)
Arch mage144: (Oh.)
Arch mage144: (My bad. No wonder I got confused.)
PapatymisonN: (Fine by me.)
PapatymisonN: (Oop. 14.)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 4
PapatymisonN: (14 again.)
Lithaladhwen: (So, Dia, Cardinal, Dia, Karis, Taiar.)
Lithaladhwen: (Where are the girls, Shaun?)
CGNakibe: (Crystal just went, Topaz is after Karis)
CGNakibe: (Speaking of which, a sec)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay. Take it away, Herr GM.)
CGNakibe: *the woman puts her hand up to her face and blows forth ice shards, that unfortunately Cardinal is unable to stop in time*
PapatymisonN: (... damn.)
CGNakibe: (Card takes 14 damage)
CGNakibe: (DiaDia)
pd Rydia: (going with the aforementioned Cerebus)
pd Rydia: (dia's angreh D: )
CGNakibe: *And shape begins to form next to Dia, at first a shimmering image of red... and quickly forming into a blood-red hound of three heads and of large size*
CGNakibe: T to Dia: Long it has been since you summoned me to hunt.
pd Rydia: ::grits teeth:: I said I'd bring you more prey.
CGNakibe: *a quick howl, and it LEAPS towards the gum-chewing girl* T: That you did....
Arch mage144: *Karis's eyes widen at this display of summoning* IM: Oh, no...I don't think I'm going to be able to stop her from just mauling these people...
CGNakibe: *it takes a VICIOUS chunk out of the girl as it does.* AIEEE!
CGNakibe: (Card)
pd Rydia: ::And, as her summon leaps forward, Dia's expression of vague, frowning displeasure changes to eye-glittering satisfaction. And maybe just a hint of malice.::
PapatymisonN: *the girls are going to be reminded of a show they watched back at home ( or at least, were familiar with...)*
PapatymisonN: *as Cardinal reaches back, gathering blue-orange energy in his hands, he utters one word...*
PapatymisonN: SUPERNOVA!
PapatymisonN: *and he shoves the energy towards Icy McCardfreeze...*
PapatymisonN: *ha! Didn't expect THAT, didja?*
CGNakibe: (Less taunting, more rolling)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
PapatymisonN: (Ouch. 16.)
CGNakibe: *the girl puts out a hand, as if to stop the blast*
CGNakibe: *... wow... it really DOES stop the blast. That's a mean hand*
CGNakibe: (Karis)
PapatymisonN: ... e_e
PapatymisonN: IM: I'm off my game.
CGNakibe: Ill-formed.
Arch mage144: *Karis reaches into his coat and pulls out a heavy-looking revolver, drops to one knee, and menacingly levels it at Topaz* Hold it!
Arch mage144: (Aiming, Called Shot.)
CGNakibe: (Karis has +5 to his roll.... NEXT turn.)
CGNakibe: *The other girl, looking much the worse for wear, looks between Dia and her three-headed mutt*
Choark has left the room.
pd Rydia: ::Hey, he's a pedigree in his dimension!::
pd Rydia: ::His sire was Fizzy Golden Soulstealer!::
Arch mage144: *shoots telepathy at Dia* T: Keep him from totally mauling her, I want one of them alive so we have somebody to question!
CGNakibe: *She puts a hand on Cerberus' head in hopes of getting past him and kicking at Dia's face!*

CGNakibe: (Hm)
MajorGeneralTso: (...Shall I?)
CGNakibe: (Ah, there we go)
pd Rydia: ::howls and spits and response, dragging the back of her arm and wrist across her mouth::
Arch mage144: IM: Oh, damn!
pd Rydia: ::she hasn't responded to Karis, and doesn't look like she's going to, at that::
CGNakibe: *The woman, for her part, is on the ground, and looking like that probably hurt her JUST a bit less.*
CGNakibe: (Taiar, yes.)
MajorGeneralTso: *Negative Emotion Check! Pain and Malice in the air?*
CGNakibe: (Double check!)
pd Rydia: ::she's just kind of glaring at the woman who just booted her, to the head::
MajorGeneralTso: *Draws in the Pain and Malice, consuming to increase his physical strength. At the same time, Tai draws his Glaive seemingly from the air surrounding himself, coming to a defensive posture*
MajorGeneralTso: (Consume Emotion, +1 to STR and Summon Glaive.)
CGNakibe: (Tai is now Str +4 and stuff)
MajorGeneralTso: (Wooo.)
CGNakibe: *the other girl, for her part, begins a chant of her own*
CGNakibe: *and around the girl that kicked Dia, a bit of snow begins to form, as her wounds start the work of closing once again*
CGNakibe: *Cerberus, looking about as pleased as Dia is about now, makes with the bitings of the girl once more*
CGNakibe: Damn... Mutt...
pd Rydia: Eat her legs.
CGNakibe: (Dia's turn again)
pd Rydia: ::Oh, she heard Karis after all. Maybe.::
CGNakibe: *Growls* T: I was hoping for MORE than just that..... and this one IS tasty...
Arch mage144: IM: That, er, might work.
pd Rydia: ::While Cerebus does his thing, Dia yanks the bag around and digs for a healing potion for the drinking::
pd Rydia: There's two of them. We need one of them alive.
pd Rydia: You'd kill both before we made sure we had one.
CGNakibe: (Dia holding off this turn, I guess?)
CGNakibe: (Ah.)
pd Rydia: ::would be drinking that thyar potion, like as not a medium strength, provided she finds one in the bag in a turn's time::
Lithaladhwen: (We don't hate you. She finds one and can take it.)
Lithaladhwen: (Yes, Kai is still here and is kind of a GM. =D )

PapatymisonN: *and all of a sudden, a fiery streak passes through the clouds, aimed right at the frost mage*

CGNakibe: *I'mma HUGE comet... streaking through space.... OHSHIT ATMOSPHERE.*
CGNakibe: *Unfortunately for Card, instead of a huge rock, he ends up hitting her with a tiny pebble. Miscalculations and such.*
PapatymisonN: IM: DAMMIT! e_e
Arch mage144: *Karis was aiming at Topaz...but she's on the ground now, isn't she?*
pd Rydia: ::Dia doesn't seem to be paying much attention to this, but Card could -swear- that the Cerebus is -laughing- at him::
CGNakibe: *Topaz seems to be struggling to her feet about now* Damn..
Arch mage144: *Well, isn't that convenient!*
CGNakibe: *chants as she spins* ... WASHOUT.

Arch mage144: ...!
CGNakibe: (Karis will roll)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Arch mage144: (You know he WILL, and that's 35 MBlock.)
CGNakibe: *Karis manages to shift away some of the inertia behind the water, but not all of it.* (9 damage)
CGNakibe: ...Damn.
Lithaladhwen: (Karis goes now, since his turn is technically before Topaz.)
CGNakibe: (Yes, he does)
Arch mage144: *weathers the blast without a whole lot of apparent concern, closes one eye, and unloads two shots at the woman's kneecaps*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 17 16
Arch mage144: (Slipping the Hammer. First one is a 37, second is a 28.)

CGNakibe: (Hit, hit.)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 5 3 3 5 3 5 1

Arch mage144: (63, before armor.)
pd Rydia: Go for the other one.
MajorGeneralTso: I thought we needed to keep one alive?
CGNakibe: T: With blessings, her flesh will be equally tasty.
pd Rydia: ::nods:: Thanks, Tai.
CGNakibe: (Taiar)
pd Rydia: ::looks severely at her summon:: Her legs.

MajorGeneralTso: I hope you're not depending on me to do that...
MajorGeneralTso: *Goes about the act of consuming the massive pain, thick in the air of the battlefield again...*
CGNakibe: T: I'm sure her heart would make a lovely gift to you, mistress, as soon as I can dig it out.... e.e
MajorGeneralTso: (Consume Emotion, +1 Str. Again. Aaaaand...)
CGNakibe: (Crazy Mazoku and their cuisine)

CGNakibe: *The lady calmly manages to dodge out of the way of Taiar's attack. She's had SOME training for it, probably*
pd Rydia: Her legs, Cereb.
CGNakibe: T: With pleasure, mistress.
CGNakibe: *Three headed dog leaping towards her, her sister down, Crystal makes the only sane choice*
CGNakibe: Frost and snow and driving rain, use your might to end our pains... GLACIER!
CGNakibe: *And the demon dog finds that there is suddenly a WALL of ice strung between two trees in his path*
pd Rydia: ::HISS::
CGNakibe: T: I will NOT BE DENIED MY MEAT. *CLAWS at the wall, then starts around it*
CGNakibe: *Needless to say, she picks up her injured sister, and does her best to vanish into the woods.*
PapatymisonN: *but the boys are alright?*
Lithaladhwen: *The boys are nowhere to be seen.*
Arch mage144: Damn! They're getting away!
pd Rydia: Not if I have anything to say about it. ::Dia's intent? To unsummon Cerebus and summon him again on the opposite side of the ice wall::

PapatymisonN: ... well, shit. e_e

pd Rydia: Anyone
pd Rydia: Now.
pd Rydia: ::starts looking around for the quickest way around it herself.

Arch mage144: Joss and Solis! *that said, he takes off in the other direction, reloading his revolver as he moves*
CGNakibe: (Result?)
PapatymisonN: (21.)
CGNakibe: *Cardinal can almost get up it... almost.... his hand hits the top!*

PapatymisonN: *RUNS around, and gets going!*
MajorGeneralTso: (...Or Around it even I suppose works too.)
CGNakibe: (You have the technology.)

CGNakibe: *Dia can see her foul-tempered three-headed friend ahead, eagerly chasing... something. Can't really see the girls from here*
Arch mage144: IM: Damnit! I don't know if I can even catch up to them now...we spent so much time fighting those two. At least we bought them time to escape.
pd Rydia: T: What do you see?
CGNakibe: *Although the ice spike that Cerberus dodges about now is an indication*
CGNakibe: T: They are faster prey than I expected...
CGNakibe: T: Damned ice witch!
PapatymisonN: *goin' full tilt to catch those girls... and he can move, the skinny bastard!*
pd Rydia: T: The better reason to relieve them of their legs!
pd Rydia: ::makes to reunite with her summon::
CGNakibe: *Dia and Card are slowly catching up with the demon dog. But slowly. Its hard to catch up with a hungry hellhound on the trail of MEAT.*
MajorGeneralTso: (Hmmmm...What's the distance to the Ice Witch?)
pd Rydia: We see them, they're fast. She keeps casting icicles. Damned ice witch!
CGNakibe: (About 50 feet)
pd Rydia: ::breath catches in her throat, and lets loose in a growl::
CGNakibe: *Speaking of ice witches... another WALL?*

PapatymisonN: *then he goes around!*
CGNakibe: (Thinner than the last time, though. She MAY be running out of gas)
CGNakibe: (ATK roll)
OnlineHost: MajorGeneralTso rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
MajorGeneralTso: (...Damn. I am not lucky with these today. 20.)
CGNakibe: *She dodges, but just barely.*
MajorGeneralTso: Damn! *Springs to his feet as fast as he can and resumes the chase, leaving his Glaive to disappear in the underbrush*
pd Rydia: ::stops dead, leans over with her hands on her knees breathing heavily, and tries to get an astral lock on Crystal::
CGNakibe: *Tai finds that he'll get close enough in just a second, at her pace...*
CGNakibe: *Man, that astral aura doesn't look good. Looks worn out if you ask me.*
CGNakibe: *It probably took Crystal a DAMN lot of power to put those walls together*
MajorGeneralTso: *Forgets the tackle and just reaches his hand out to try and grab the back of her collar*
PapatymisonN: *isn't relenting in his straight up chase...*
CGNakibe: (Another d20)
pd Rydia: ::That's good. Really, Dia doesn't think she's been making enough loud noises this fight, so her intent is to yell as loudly as possible into Crystal's head.:: [mindlash]
Lithaladhwen: (Ha.)
CGNakibe: (Still more d20s)
OnlineHost: MajorGeneralTso rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
OnlineHost: pd Rydia rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
MajorGeneralTso: (There we go!)
MajorGeneralTso: (Comes out to 28, I believe.)
CGNakibe: *Taiar manages to get a hand on her collar just barely. Its not the firmest grip in the world.*
CGNakibe: *Or at least it wasn't before the YELLING started*
CGNakibe: AAAH... *stops and sinks to her knees from the POUNDING HEADACHE that Dia's started*
pd Rydia: ::stays put for a good half minute, breathing deeply, and then begins moving forward again::
MajorGeneralTso: *Stops running as best he can and takes a deeeeeep breath, slightly bewildered with what just happened but doesn't ignore the chance to catch a needed breath*
CGNakibe: *Crystal doesn't seem to be moving much. And of course Topaz is trying hard NOT to move*
pd Rydia: T: I'm behind you two, Cardinal, Tai.
PapatymisonN: *stops running when he reaches Crystal's position*
PapatymisonN: T: We've got her, Dia. We've got her. Nicely done...
CGNakibe: Damn.... telepaths.... >.<;;
PapatymisonN: T2Crystal: And the fun's just starting.
pd Rydia: T: You've cut off their legs, right?
PapatymisonN: T: No. You did.
CGNakibe: *Puff Pant* You.... Bastards....
pd Rydia: T: No, Cerebus had to go home.
pd Rydia: T: If one of them dies early, we keep the corpse for him.
pd Rydia: ::viciously::
PapatymisonN: T2Crystal: Hush. Be quiet JUST for a moment...
pd Rydia: ::upon catching up::
CGNakibe: Fuck you. *tries to summon up ice....*
PapatymisonN: ...
PapatymisonN: *PUNCH!*
CGNakibe: *And Cardinal is thanked with a cool winter's breeze as he punches*
MajorGeneralTso: ...I can't decide if that was overdoing it or not.
PapatymisonN: (Aww... how nice of her.)
PapatymisonN: I'm... very sorry. I don't hit girls much. Not used to it.
PapatymisonN: But, as you can see...
CGNakibe: *So we have one woman out cold and another one bleeding from her lower limbs*
Lithaladhwen: *Meanwhile, Karis can see that the kids have stopped to take a breath up ahead, but with a jolt of surprise they start running again when they see him.*
pd Rydia: They're not girls, they're adults like you and me.
PapatymisonN: You only get about a half-second's hesitation.
PapatymisonN: e_e
Arch mage144: Hey, wait! I'm with Dia and Damian, I'm here to help you!
pd Rydia: Alright. Karis is still out and about. What's our first plan of action?
PapatymisonN: *looks at the girl's legs, and to Taiar*
PapatymisonN: ... I suppose I should keep them from dying...
Arch mage144: *forcefully telepaths that message, while we're at it, hoping they hear him*
pd Rydia: Personally, I'm not keen on dragging these two with us to fetch the kids.
CGNakibe: I... don't see... those... .scary.... girls.... >.<
MajorGeneralTso: ...Probably.
pd Rydia: I'd like to break their legs, knock them out, and drop them off at the JD, maybe.
pd Rydia: I could probably do that on my own, or with someone.
Lithaladhwen: *Joss shoves Solis* You keep going. I'll be ri...*pant* ...right behind you.
pd Rydia: I wouldn't be able to change back, though.
CGNakibe: You... sure? I could... help you!
PapatymisonN: ... can't we just bind them to a tree and see what they know?
Lithaladhwen: Go, damn it!
CGNakibe: *nods, RUNS*
Lithaladhwen: *Joss stops and turns to face Karis, waiting for him*
MajorGeneralTso: I don't think we need to bind them to anything at the moment.
Lithaladhwen: *Still panting, he conjures a long, molten-red colored whip.*
pd Rydia: I want our friend at the inn to help us interrogate them.
Lithaladhwen: Come on, then.
PapatymisonN: ... I'd feel better.
pd Rydia: At any rate.
Arch mage144: *pants a little as he hopefully catches up, waving his empty hand at Joss, and he puts his gun back in his coat holster*
Arch mage144: *he heaves tiredly, hands on his knees*
pd Rydia: MEEP!
Arch mage144: Whew...
MajorGeneralTso: ...*Waves hand dismissively* If the Bondage angel strikes you, okay okay...
pd Rydia: ::leaps from Karis and runs for Solis::
Arch mage144: I didn't think I'd be able to catch up, at that rate!
Lithaladhwen: *Joss is covered in sweat and soot and even blood, panting and apparently so exhausted he's shaking.* ........shut up.
Lithaladhwen: Leave us alone.
Arch mage144: *breathes heavily for a second longer, then shakes it off*
PapatymisonN: ... we have rope? *looks around...*
CGNakibe: ... Azul?
pd Rydia: ::hands Cardinal her belt::
pd Rydia: MEEP!
Arch mage144: Are you alright?
pd Rydia: T: YOU HAVEN'T FED ME IN DAYS!
CGNakibe: Its Good to see you again Azul! *scoops up his lapdragon pet*
pd Rydia: T: AND WEEKS!
pd Rydia: T: AND MONTHS! AND YEARS!
CGNakibe: T: I'm sorry, Azul!
Lithaladhwen: Solis! No! Stay away from them. *pant* We have to go!
MajorGeneralTso: ...I could make rope if you can't find it.
CGNakibe: T: ... wait, months?
pd Rydia: T: WHAT HAPPENED?!
pd Rydia: T_T
CGNakibe: But they brought Azul?
PapatymisonN: Please?
Lithaladhwen: *shakes his head tiredly*
CGNakibe: T: I haven't been gond THAT long, you know. But I'm still really glad to see you!
pd Rydia: T: Dia is fighting, fighting, grrrrr!
Arch mage144: Where are you going? Damian and Dia and I came to find you because he was worried about Solis.
Lithaladhwen: Liar! I saw you with them!
pd Rydia: T: and Damian is e_________e and I don't get fed sandwiches anymore!
CGNakibe: T: Those mean ladies, you mean? I hope she beats them good.
Lithaladhwen: You're all liars! Go home!
Lithaladhwen: (Karis, make a sense-motive/diplomacy roll.)
Arch mage144: *frowns* I don't understand. Are you talking about those women? We followed them, hoping they would lead us to you.
pd Rydia: T: She wanted to eat their legs, but that was because she was also e\/e e\/e e\/e
MajorGeneralTso: *Transmutes out a simple rope, seemingly made of just one thick thread-like material, hardly with texture at all. It's about...20-25 feet long.*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
pd Rydia: T: now she wants to just break their legs
CGNakibe: T: If miss Dia came out here then she WOULD be angry.
pd Rydia: T: they only each have two though
pd Rydia: T: Very!
Arch mage144: (22.)
PapatymisonN: *binds them together, one and the other*
CGNakibe: T: I'm just so GLAD to SEE you again. *Hugs Azul!*
Lithaladhwen: (Karis, being something of an expert on such things, can tell from the way Joss is gritting his teeth and the way he starts at every noise that.... he's about to attack the next Non-Solis thing that moves.)
CGNakibe: Wait, Joss. They came with miss Dia!
Lithaladhwen: (He is not in a negotiating mood.)
pd Rydia: ^_______^
Lithaladhwen: THEY'RE LYING!
Arch mage144: *holds up his hands* I'm not here to make you do anything you don't want to do, Joss.
Arch mage144: If you want to run away, that's your decision. I won't stop you.
pd Rydia: ::chews Solis's hair::
Lithaladhwen: *looks around briefly* Where are the others.
PapatymisonN: ... ugh. I've used too many spells for this, but... *the sun shines brightly through the trees...*
Lithaladhwen: You...*pant* You weren't alone.
PapatymisonN: (Sunbath.)
CGNakibe: ... wait... you don't REALLY think they were with those women... do you? o.o <.<;;;
Arch mage144: They're back there, chasing after the women who were holding you. I shot one of them in the leg, and Dia summoned a monster to attack them.
MajorGeneralTso: ...I could probably make that rope erupt into spines too, if it makes you happy Dia. <.<...
PapatymisonN: (Everyone in the immediate area will be affected, I guess. PCs and NPCs alike.)
Arch mage144: The first one picked up her ally, conjured a wall of ice to block our path, and ran away. They chased after them.
pd Rydia: ::grins::
pd Rydia: It would, but it's unnecessary.
pd Rydia: Right now, anyway.
Lithaladhwen: Bullshit. I don't have to listen to you.
MajorGeneralTso: Aaaalrighty.
CGNakibe: (Noted. Roll 2d6
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Arch mage144: You don't. It's true.
pd Rydia: Let's get moving. The kids would be moving toward Doma, I'd assume, which is a good way for us to move.
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 3
Lithaladhwen: (Karis, MDEF.)
PapatymisonN: (Uh... wait, why?)
pd Rydia: Keep an eye and ear out for Karis?
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
OnlineHost: pd Rydia rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 3
Arch mage144: (33.)
CGNakibe: o.o;; *is just watching right now, not sure what to believe*
PapatymisonN: (If this is for spell effect, it's a 2d8.)
MajorGeneralTso: I imagine he's looking for us as well, if he's still empty handed in his search...
CGNakibe: (Yes, 2d8, sorry.)
OnlineHost: pd Rydia rolled 2 8-sided dice: 3 2
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 2 8-sided dice: 5 1
Lithaladhwen: *Joss growls and hurls a ball of fire at Karis. Karis's aura deflects it and it catches some nearby trees. The woods are on fire again!*
Lithaladhwen: Just get away from u!
Arch mage144: Oh, crap!
Lithaladhwen: *us
pd Rydia: ::is this fire noticeable?::
Lithaladhwen: (Yes.)
pd Rydia: ::like, from over where--excellent::
Arch mage144: *turns to the trees and sprays them with a deluge of conjured water*
pd Rydia: Well.
PapatymisonN: (So everyone regains 8+24+6 HP, so 38.)
MajorGeneralTso: ...That about anwsers that.
Arch mage144: >.o IM: Clearly, Joss has never heard of Dusky the Bear, either.
Lithaladhwen: *takes a few steps back, still tired and shaky* Get away from me. You don't scare me.
Arch mage144: IM: "It's your responsibility to avert forest fires!"
pd Rydia: ::looks to Card:: you head that way. Tai and I will get these two 'hme'
Arch mage144: I don't want to scare you, Joss. I'm not your enemy.
CGNakibe: Joss, wait a second.
pd Rydia: O_O
pd Rydia: T: Dia's bag will get burnt!
PapatymisonN: Right. See you later. *takes off towards the disturbance!*
pd Rydia: T: Sandwiches are in there!
Lithaladhwen: No, Solis! You can't just trust everyone who says that they... that they want to help you!
Lithaladhwen: I told you to run!
MajorGeneralTso: ...I would have some complaint to being commanded, but I guess I should stay since the rope is kind of...bounded to me.
pd Rydia: MEEP! MEEP! MREEEP! >o<
pd Rydia: Oh, sorry Taiar.
pd Rydia: Would you, though, please?
MajorGeneralTso: *Chuckles* No problem. I wasn't being serious anyhow.
Arch mage144: *shakes his head* Joss, this is my first time meeting you, so I don't necessarily expect you to know that I'm here to help.
pd Rydia: ::hauls up Topaz and begins toward Doma::
PapatymisonN: *running, running, running... man, this is some ground to cover!*
Arch mage144: I'll do anything to prove it to you. Would you feel better if I gave you my weapons?
CGNakibe: I KNOW, Joss, but... they brought Dia. And Azul.
Lithaladhwen: You're a mage.
Arch mage144: Not a very good one. *laughs*
Lithaladhwen: Damn it, Solis! This is how they got us in the first place! I'm not ...*pant*...I'm not making that mistake again!
MajorGeneralTso: *Lifts up Crystal and treks through the forest towards the capital as well*
Arch mage144: General Silvar taught me, but I haven't really got the aptitude. I'm just able to make a little water and use some basic telepathy.
CGNakibe: .... *frowns*
PapatymisonN: *and... Cardinal... huffing and puffing, shouts* JOSS!
Lithaladhwen: *his eyes widen, from surprise or anger or...something*
Lithaladhwen: *growls* Cardinal.
PapatymisonN: *leans on a tree some ways away, and comes closer*
Arch mage144: *looks at Cardinal*
Lithaladhwen: You stay back, you son of a bitch!
CGNakibe: I'm not HELPLESS, you know. Its not like I....
CGNakibe: Cardinal? >.>
Arch mage144: T2Card: Um...I think you should stay out of this.
PapatymisonN: Joss... Oh... ... *stops*
Lithaladhwen: I'll incinerate you if it kills me you treacherous shit!
pd Rydia: Meep? o.O T: What the meep is going on?
Arch mage144: Whoa, whoa!
PapatymisonN: ... I.
PapatymisonN: Am.
PapatymisonN: Sorry.
PapatymisonN: I am so DEEPLY for what I said.
CGNakibe: ... Why were you all with those scary women?
PapatymisonN: It was a ruse to get them to lead us to you.
PapatymisonN: I swear it.
Arch mage144: *sits down on the grass*
Lithaladhwen: Your word isn't worth shit! You're a liar!
PapatymisonN: Joss, I would NEVER ally myself against you!
Lithaladhwen: Go home!
PapatymisonN: NO!
Arch mage144: Cardinal.
Arch mage144: Please.
Lithaladhwen: Yes you would!
PapatymisonN: *ignoring Karis*
Arch mage144: IM: This is not productive.
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
pd Rydia: T: Solis, I want to go home. ::wriggle::
PapatymisonN: ... the only thing I lied about was what I said to you on that night. v_v
Lithaladhwen: *More trees near Card are set on fire. He's lucky Joss is fucking exhausted.*
CGNakibe: T: Me too, Azul. >.<
Lithaladhwen: Shut up! *pant* Just.... just go away.
Arch mage144: *restrains from smacking himself in the face*
pd Rydia: T: Ah! The sandwiches! The sandwiches!
PapatymisonN: I was lying to myself, too, Joss!
Lithaladhwen: Solis! Go home! I'll be behind you!
Arch mage144: *restrains himself from
PapatymisonN: I am an idiot for EVER thinking there was no going back!
CGNakibe: We ran this far, Joss. I'm NOT leaving. >.<
Arch mage144: Solis...what did you come here to find?
PapatymisonN: Don't ... PLEASE don't be an idiot by believing that, I BEG you...
Lithaladhwen: *grits his teeth* Damn it.... Solis! I gave you my word! I told you I'd protect you! And I'm not letting them get you again!
Arch mage144: *hands spread apart, palms up, in a gesture of surrender* No one here wants to hurt anyone else.
Arch mage144: IM: Except Cardinal, if he doesn't shut up and quit making the situation worse. "Adults" are so damned stupid sometimes.
CGNakibe: I'm not like one of those weird damsels from the books, Joss! I KNOW you're trying to help and I appreciate that, but I can't just LEAVE you here.
Lithaladhwen: I know you can take care... of yourself, Solis! That's why you should go! You're okay without me.
Lithaladhwen: *narrows his eyes at Card* I can handle them.
PapatymisonN: ... you mean you're going to kill me.
PapatymisonN: *tosses his sword away*
CGNakibe: T to EVERYONE: SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME.
PapatymisonN: Cuz I WON'T fight you, Joss.
PapatymisonN: I wo- >.o
Lithaladhwen: >_o
pd Rydia: >_<
Arch mage144: ...ow.
CGNakibe: T: Now. Were you REALLY with those ladies just to find us?
CGNakibe: *.... is that the makings of some sort of spell?*
Arch mage144: T: Of course not. Damian is here, too.
PapatymisonN: T: NO.
pd Rydia: T: I was in the bushes.
pd Rydia: o.o
PapatymisonN: *lets the truth emanate through that message*
Arch mage144: IM: Man, everyone can speak in telepathy. How interesting that is.
Lithaladhwen: *is holding onto his whip with both hands, shaking and looking like he's about to drop, but not willing to let go of his weapon*
CGNakibe: T: Where is miss Dia?
MajorGeneralTso: (Tai: I can't. By myself...)
PapatymisonN: T: Taking the bad ladies (who by the way, we subdued) back to the bar to be secured.
CGNakibe: T: ... and Brother ISN'T here. e.e
pd Rydia: T: Uh...she's too far away to check. And Fluffy is too far away to ask.
PapatymisonN: T: He stayed back at the bar as well.
pd Rydia: T: She was fighting. Those water women.
PapatymisonN: T: This is God's honest truth, I swear it.
Arch mage144: (Oh, wait. He is back at the bar.)
Arch mage144: (Or something. Because he sure as hell wasn't in the combat.)
PapatymisonN: *and yes. God had the same connotation as it does back home*
pd Rydia: T: Damian was all dusty!
CGNakibe: ....
pd Rydia: T: and all e_____e
Lithaladhwen: .....Solis....Solis, no.
pd Rydia: T: ::shows image::
CGNakibe: .... WHAT TOOK YOU ALL SO LONG. >.<
pd Rydia: O____O
pd Rydia: .... u____u
PapatymisonN: We came as soon as we could.
pd Rydia: T: I was on the pinball machine. I'm sorry.
PapatymisonN: IM: Despite dragged feet at the bar...
pd Rydia: u____u
CGNakibe: *Holding his lapdragon tight, at least*
Lithaladhwen: Look, Solis. You think they're not lying?
Lithaladhwen: What about the others, huh?
Arch mage144: Joss, Damian said that people from his world came here to hunt mages.
Arch mage144: He comes from a place where magic is rare, and they're trying to capture people who have magical powers.
Arch mage144: We have to stop them, don't we?
Lithaladhwen: Solis thinks you're not lying. And I trust Solis. But I don't know who else you've... you've got.
Lithaladhwen: Who else is there? I'm not....I'm not going anywhere with... with people who... who can't even talk to me to my face.
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Shaun.)
PapatymisonN: (Kay.)
MajorGeneralTso: (...How does she knoooow...)
PapatymisonN: (I'm taking this opportunity to dig for snacks! *has a tube of jalapeno Pringles around here somewhere...*
PapatymisonN: (Ooh. BBQ. Even better.)
XStrike8 has entered the room.
KnightsofSquare: (OMG WTF BBQ?)
XStrike8: (Haven't been on this comp in AGES.)
pd Rydia: (wb)
pd Rydia: (oooh, old SN)
PapatymisonN: (I'll say.)
XStrike8: (Sankyuu)
XStrike8: Where's miss Dia? Why isn't she here?
Arch mage144: Well, I can talk to your face. It's not very productive to talk to people's backs.
CGNakibe has left the room.
XStrike8: And you... you brought someone else, didn't you?
Arch mage144: She had to help Taiar subdue those women. We're going to have to ask them a few...questions.
pd Rydia: u_u
Lithaladhwen: *jerks his head toward Solis* What he said. Wh-- *pant* ...where are.... *violent head-shake*
Lithaladhwen: Bring them.
Lithaladhwen: I'm so sick of this.
pd Rydia: ::meanwhile, on the way back to Doma--::
pd Rydia: ::--heading back to Doma::
Arch mage144: *frowns* Joss, I can't walk all the way back there and then come back to get you. You might not be here when we come back.
pd Rydia: ::back with Azul!::
PapatymisonN: ... so we should all go.
Lithaladhwen: *eyes narrow* I'm not going anywhere with you.
Arch mage144: One of us should stay here.
Arch mage144: *clears his throat* Cardinal.
Lithaladhwen: Solis. Can you reach her?
XStrike8: T to Dia: Mi... Di... wh...
CGNakibe has left the room.
Arch mage144: Please do me a favor and go retrieve our allies, unless you can reach them with telepathy. I know they're out of range for me.
pd Rydia: ::jerks head::
pd Rydia: T: Solis?
CGNakibe has left the room.
pd Rydia: T: I know that voice and you're missing your classes!
XStrike8: (A sec.)
pd Rydia: (k)
Lithaladhwen: (Would people make an observation or int roll for me?)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
XStrike8: I'm.... I think that's... yeah, that's her.
MajorGeneralTso: (...The people in that group or me/Dia as well?)
PapatymisonN: (28.)
OnlineHost: pd Rydia rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Lithaladhwen: (People in the woods.)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
pd Rydia: (21)
Arch mage144: (13.)
MajorGeneralTso: (Z'okay.)
OnlineHost: MajorGeneralTso rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
MajorGeneralTso: (...Nice.)
CGNakibe has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: *Cardinal sees something flash in the sunlight as it flies through the air. He can't see what it was and doesn't have any clue until Joss drops his whip and slaps the back of his neck.*
Lithaladhwen: *Joss pulls his hand around and stares blankly at what looks to be a small dart between his fingers. He blinks once, twice, and then his legs give out and he collapses.*
PapatymisonN: ... o.o
CGNakibe: WHO DID THAT?!? eVe
PapatymisonN: No. *rolls and grabs his sword, unsheathing it!*
Arch mage144: *surprised and alarmed expression*
CGNakibe: WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THAT?
pd Rydia: ::hisses:: T: Solis, badmen!
PapatymisonN: *if he was FACING the kid, how could he do it?*
Lithaladhwen: *The guys in the clearing hear a whistle from the woods.*
Arch mage144: IM: If you yell more loudly, I bet they'll come out, hand raised, going "oooh, me, me!"
PapatymisonN: I DON'TKNOW!
CGNakibe: *Solis is suddenly in a FOUL mood*
Arch mage144: *looks into the woods*
CGNakibe: <.<
Arch mage144: *where the noise came from*
CGNakibe: >.>
pd Rydia: ::looks -straight- up and behind Solis::
Lithaladhwen: *Standing up from the trees is a rather dapper-looking fellow with tanned skin, short-cropped black hair and flashing silver eyes.*
pd Rydia: T: I'll bite him, Solis!
Lithaladhwen: *He's wearing nice slacks and a shirt open at the neck. One hand in pocket, one sword strapped to back, and one hand with a little blowgun.*
PapatymisonN: e_e
Lithaladhwen: I wouldn't suggest getting too agitated. You'll just waste his time.
Arch mage144: Who are you?
Lithaladhwen: He has a little yet.
pd Rydia: ::slithers down to the ground and into the brush::
CGNakibe: You... What'd you DO to him?
Arch mage144: *Karis's eyes narrow a little, and huzzah, it's spell time*
CGNakibe: T: DIA! HELP!
Lithaladhwen: He'll be all right, provided you don't stop me from taking him back to the base where we have an antidote.
Arch mage144: (Mental Probe. Unless that guy has telepathy ranks, he doesn't get a resist roll.)
pd Rydia: ::up a tree next to Dappo, intending to leap upon his head!::
Lithaladhwen: You... you may have time to get him to town. I doubt it.
Arch mage144: (Karis should be able to read his surface thoughts.)
CGNakibe: T: HELP! DIA!
pd Rydia: Shit. Taiar, they're in trouble.
Arch mage144: *That said, assuming the spell succeeded; any reason to believe this guy is lying, based on his present stream-of-thought?*
MajorGeneralTso: ...Crap.
Lithaladhwen: (This fellow really wants the kids to come back to base. Both of them. If not, Joss doesn't get treated and he dies.)
Arch mage144: IM: Shit.
PapatymisonN: (OK.)
pd Rydia: ::looks at the two:: ...can you teleport these to Doma?::
Lithaladhwen: So. How are you all? If you want to fight me you can. But you'll only be eating up precious time.
MajorGeneralTso: (...How far are we?)
PapatymisonN: Alright.
Arch mage144: IM: This is a lose-lose situation. Joss is going to assume we betrayed him no matter what happens...or he's going to die.
CGNakibe: *looks at the man with pure, 10-year-old HATE*
PapatymisonN: *tired of waiting, Cardinal bores into the man's mind, attempting to twist it to his will...*
MajorGeneralTso: ...Yeah. I'll take care of it and catch up to you people later.
Lithaladhwen: You're the younger one, so you're.... Solis, yes?
pd Rydia: ::nods::
PapatymisonN: (Is his Wis lower than 5?)
pd Rydia: ::meanwhile, how thick are the trees?::
Lithaladhwen: Do you think I really care if he dies, Solis?
Arch mage144: I do.
Lithaladhwen: (What is Cardinal trying to do?)
PapatymisonN: (Control.)
CGNakibe: e.e I think I should make you fry now, mister.
Lithaladhwen: (To what end? This guy hasn't given any indication he's capable of fixing Joss himself.)
Lithaladhwen: I think your friend would die if you did.
PapatymisonN: (He said if he got him back to base, he could cure him, right?)
Lithaladhwen: Because they know I'm here. If I don't come back.... they don't fulfil their end. You understand?
CGNakibe: ....
CGNakibe: Why are you DOING this? Are you with them?
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs*
pd Rydia: ::Dia hoofs it back toward Solis & co::
PapatymisonN: (The command would be to take him, heal him, and bring him back, or at least take him outside the walls again.)
CGNakibe: Those.... crazy water ladies?
Lithaladhwen: I couldn't care less about their wellbeing. *grins* Trust me.
MajorGeneralTso: *Grabs Topaz as well and sets about the time concentrating for a long range teleport with two unconscious and unmoving in two*
Lithaladhwen: But for the record, I do have an arrangement with their employer.
Arch mage144: How long does he have?
Lithaladhwen: About.... *looks up and to the side* ....fifteen minutes? Not long. Long enough. If Solis comes with me, the one on the ground gets treated and doesn't die. He's more good to my employer alive....
Lithaladhwen: So we will do it.
CGNakibe: ... I don't trust you.
pd Rydia: T: Solis? I'm getting closer.
Arch mage144: IM: Lose-lose...lose-lose...
Arch mage144: IM: Need an answer, and quickly...
Lithaladhwen: Do you trust that we want you and Joss alive?
CGNakibe: ....
CGNakibe: v.v
Arch mage144: That doesn't mean you have altruistic motives.
pd Rydia: T: Solis?
CGNakibe: .... You have to help Joss.
Lithaladhwen: I will. I swear by whatever vestige of a soul is left in me.
Arch mage144: *grits his teeth*
Lithaladhwen: I won't let him die if you come with me.
PapatymisonN: ... *does the same*
Arch mage144: IM: We have to lose today to win tomorrow. If he dies, it's over.
CGNakibe: T: He... It...... they..... *there's a vague impression of tears, as if the kid would cry if only he had the time and energy*
PapatymisonN: T2Karis: We have to let them go, don't we?
Arch mage144: IM: But if we let them cooperate, Joss can live...and we can save them later.
PapatymisonN: e_e
CGNakibe: Lets go, then. -.-
pd Rydia: T: What, what? What the hell's going on? How far away am I?
Arch mage144: T2Card: I can't see any other way out of this situation.
pd Rydia: MEEP!
Lithaladhwen: All right. Come along, then. I'm not going to grab you and sling you over my shoulder or anything. I trust you to walk.
PapatymisonN: ...
CGNakibe: T: Joss... they... said he'd DIE if I didn't go with them. >.<
pd Rydia: ::leaps onto Dappo's head and from there, to Solis::
PapatymisonN: *sheathes his sword* e_e
Arch mage144: T2Solis: Solis. Listen to me. I don't like this. But if you go with them, you can save Joss.
Arch mage144: T2Solis: And then we'll come help you as soon as we can.
CGNakibe: T2Karis: I know.
pd Rydia: T: What! What, why? What the hell?
Arch mage144: T2Solis: We will not abandon you.
CGNakibe: *sniffs*
Arch mage144: T2Solis: I promise.
PapatymisonN: *is madder than a cut snake...*
Lithaladhwen: Well? I'm not here to hurt you, kid. I just need to bring you back. *jerks his head back toward the base*
Lithaladhwen: After you, Solis.
Arch mage144: *shrugs* I'm not going to get in your way.
Arch mage144: T2Solis: Solis, ask him where his base is.
PapatymisonN: *is just glaring*
Arch mage144: T2Solis: Get him to actively think about its location.
CGNakibe: *picks up Joss himself and tries to bring him along* .... you'll regred this, Mister. Now, where are we going?
Lithaladhwen: I'll show you.
Lithaladhwen: (Karis knows.)
CGNakibe: *regret
Arch mage144: *still clenching his teeth* Come on, Cardinal.
PapatymisonN: One last thing.
Lithaladhwen: And it'll be easier if you let me carry your friend. I know you're tired. You've been running all day.
PapatymisonN: T2GinImposter: Hey. Just so you know.
PapatymisonN: T: If I can manage it, I'm going to kill you.
PapatymisonN: T: No promises. Just saying it's a goal of mine.
CGNakibe: *glares up at the man* Just stay back. e.e
Lithaladhwen: ^_^
Lithaladhwen: Bye bye. *waves*
Lithaladhwen: Solis, carry him if you want.
PapatymisonN: (...)
Lithaladhwen: *points on ahead* That way.
Lithaladhwen: *They go?*
PapatymisonN: (*has to laugh at that*)
pd Rydia: ::hides inside Solis's shirt::
Arch mage144: *Not stopping them*
CGNakibe: *They go, yes*
pd Rydia: T: >_< They better feed us!
Arch mage144: (Hey, what's the weather like?)
Lithaladhwen: *They go. Exeunt Joss, Solis and That Guy.*
Arch mage144: (I'm curious as to how cloudy it is.)
Lithaladhwen: (Intermittent cloud cover.)
Arch mage144: *sits on the ground and sighs; he looks like he's meditating*
pd Rydia: ::meanwhile, Dia is still running toward the place Solis last telepathed her!
PapatymisonN: *tears now burn down his cheeks*
PapatymisonN: God... dammit... e_e,
Arch mage144: IM: Their base can't be far from here, if he only had fifteen minutes...and I know where it is, now.
Arch mage144: IM: We're going there...soon.
Lithaladhwen: (But that is a tale for....)
Lithaladhwen: (NEXT SESSION)
CGNakibe: (NEXT TIME)
MajorGeneralTso: (...You two should have coordinated saying one thing. >.>...)
CGNakibe: (>:P )
MajorGeneralTso: (Juuust sayin'...)
CGNakibe: </RP>
Lithaladhwen: </Session!>
CGNakibe: (Next time: A tale of Swords and Souls, eternally Told)
Lithaladhwen: (Ha!)
Lithaladhwen: Font.
MajorGeneralTso: ...Feels good to be back.
CGNakibe: Ah, the GMing groove feels good.
CGNakibe: I am alive again!
Lithaladhwen: Whoo!
pd Rydia: fun. ^_^
Lithaladhwen: At last my flesh is restored! *hisses*
Lithaladhwen: We will post EXP when it isn't eleven at night, methinks.
pd Rydia: k
PapatymisonN: Alright.
MajorGeneralTso: ...Mooooooo...
PapatymisonN: ... *finally just turns Cardinal into a plushie and hugs him* Oh, don't worry, buddy! Everything's gonna be OK! I promise I promise I promise! I know it hurts but you'll be OK! I swear... >.<
CGNakibe: Heh.
CGNakibe: No love for Joss?
CGNakibe: He's having a very BAD day today.
Lithaladhwen: I know. Fuck you, man.
pd Rydia: yeah, so it seems
Lithaladhwen: You're a jerk.
pd Rydia: he's making it bad for everyone else, too
pd Rydia: closin' this for OOC chat
pd Rydia has left the room.
PapatymisonN: ... Joss isn't the one weeping like a baby inside my psyche.
Lithaladhwen: Charles, don't play under me. I do this.
Lithaladhwen: Ask everyone in FtA.
Lithaladhwen: I hurt little children.
Arch mage144: There's a reason Karis wanted to make it rain.
Arch mage144: It is also because he can create rain for a 500 yard radius and he judged that the enemy base was likely to be inside that range...
CGNakibe: We have decided it can be done next session's start.
Lithaladhwen: Yes.
Lithaladhwen: And that we would appreciate such an addition to the ZOMG DRAMA.
CGNakibe: WE ARE JUR-EL, MASTER OF GAMING!
Lithaladhwen: WoooEEEEoooooo! *waves hands*
Arch mage144: Meanwhile, Noire walks around on my desk shoving things with her paw.
PapatymisonN: The hugging's not working. Big baby.
CGNakibe: Its not neat enough for her tastes.
Lithaladhwen: Card just needs to grow up, man. This is why you don't do anything ever.
MajorGeneralTso: I am glad...to have Tai teleporting like I always imagined him to in PS.
PapatymisonN: The treatment will be killing off every single one of Joss' enemies.
PapatymisonN: The cure will be making up with Joss.
CGNakibe: I dunno, man.
CGNakibe: THat's getting to be a long list.
Arch mage144: *goes to the OOC chat*
CGNakibe: All of three people. >:P
PapatymisonN: Which is why it's a TREATMENT.
Lithaladhwen: Heh.
PapatymisonN: Administered at regular intervals, it should keep him from being a little woman-man.
