You have just entered room "fromtheashes."
NebbieQ has entered the room.
THENinjaRabbi has entered the room.
The Net Spider has entered the room.
FFFan80 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Jah. Hallo.)
Lithaladhwen: (People here and all that fun?)
The Net Spider: (moo.)
Lithaladhwen: (roll call!)
FFFan80: (Woof)
NebbieQ: (Robot Rollcall?)
THENinjaRabbi: (rhubarb.)
Lithaladhwen: (Excellent!)
Lithaladhwen: (People can start where they wish. They will once again be found. Except Char'rynn. For some reason she's really difficult to track down today.)
The Net Spider: *Lym is totally in his borrowed room at the castle, sleeping off a headache the Time Cubism book gave him.*
FFFan80: *At the Ivory Horn, sipping a drink at a table* -\/-
FFFan80: *...and occasionally rubbing at the nice big bruise on his face* >\/9;
THENinjaRabbi: *Walks outside his house to have the door slam behind him*
NebbieQ: *Walks into the main area of the Ivory Horn, yawning.*
NebbieQ: IM: That was a nice room...
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Well, shit.
THENinjaRabbi: IM: How was I supposed to know she worked there now?
FFFan80: ...where's bloody ice when you need it 9\/9;
Lithaladhwen: *Stephan feels something brush against his sleeve*
FFFan80: ........
FFFan80: *looks*
Lithaladhwen: *a squirrel races up the back of his chair and over his other shoulder onto the table*
FFFan80: .......
THENinjaRabbi: IM: I need a drink.
FFFan80: o_ó
THENinjaRabbi: ...
THENinjaRabbi: IM: FUCK.
Lithaladhwen: *It has a note tied around its neck.*
FFFan80: ....
Lithaladhwen: S: *blinks and swishes tail*
THENinjaRabbi: *proceeds to bang his head against the wall for a few minutes*
FFFan80: Can I have this thing without my finger being mauled to pieces? 6\/6
Lithaladhwen: S: *blink*
FFFan80: *sighs* -\/-
FFFan80: *tries to grab the note*
Lithaladhwen: *Squirrel doesn't move.*
Lithaladhwen: *neither does it maul him*
NebbieQ: *As Kei gets closer, the duelist notices Stephan's new friend.*
FFFan80: ...this better not be about my business in the bloody bushes last night... desperate times call for desperate action ¬.¬
FFFan80: *reads said note* 6\/6?
Lithaladhwen: *The note reads: "Thought I'd catch up with everyone. If you get a moment, I'd like to met you in the park. That's where this squirrel lives, so just follow him back. -Yadali"*
Lithaladhwen: S:*blinks*
FFFan80: ...
THENinjaRabbi: *Trudges his way to the Ivory Horn* IM: I wonder when Hak's ordering us all to go after that Dawn woman. If it was that so important, why didn't he gather us all up?
Lithaladhwen: S:*runs off the table and out the door*
NebbieQ: Is everything alright, Mister Stephan?
FFFan80: Wonderful, a midget tourguide....
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: No
FFFan80: Noooo it's not e.e;
FFFan80: That squirrel, that just left?
FFFan80: What's-her-face-druid-woman there wants us to follow it.
THENinjaRabbi: *slams open the door to the bar, then spots Stephan and Kei*
The Net Spider: *Lym wakes up and groans.* Shit.
The Net Spider: Fucking...time cube...
NebbieQ: ...I see.
FFFan80: Fucking druids ~\/~;
The Net Spider: *He spends the next five minutes struggling to dress and rub his forehead at the same time.*
NebbieQ: Do you know why?
FFFan80: Maybe she wants to sit down for tea.
FFFan80: How the hell should I know?
FFFan80: *hands her the note* See for yourself.
Lithaladhwen: *Lym sees two foxes curled up on the floor next to his bed*
NebbieQ: (brb phone)
The Net Spider: THE HELL?
Lithaladhwen: *One stands and sniff his face*
Lithaladhwen: *sniffs
The Net Spider: I...hey, little guy... o.O
Lithaladhwen: *In a moment he finds himself face to face with Yadali* I'm not a guy. But hello!
The Net Spider: o.o
NebbieQ: (Back.)
THENinjaRabbi: ....
NebbieQ: *Takes it, and reads.*
THENinjaRabbi: Stephan, what's the matter?
The Net Spider: How long have you been there?
The Net Spider: *Lym has just managed to pull on his pants, and is still shirtless. He blushes so fuckin' red.*
FFFan80: That nutcase druid wants to meet us again, it looks like.
Lithaladhwen: I've been waiting with Alex for you to wake up.
NebbieQ: *Hands Kerov the note.* This is what he got.
The Net Spider: So, you...heh heh, uh...
The Net Spider: *Blush!*
THENinjaRabbi: Oh. I see.
THENinjaRabbi: I'm still suprised Hak himself isn't leading us about now...
Lithaladhwen: Anyway, go ahead and do your wakeup stuff.
THENinjaRabbi: But whatever, a job's a job.
The Net Spider: .... Right....
FFFan80: I'd be shocked if he DID, at this rate ¼_¬
FFFan80: *¬_¬
Lithaladhwen: *sits back down on the floor with the still-sleeping Alex*
The Net Spider: .... *Delays putting on his shirt until last...occasionally glancing to the druid lady to see if she's checking him out.*
Lithaladhwen: *apparently Alex is used to her foolishness*
NebbieQ: Perhaps he's investigating some things himself?
Lithaladhwen: *she doesn't*
The Net Spider: *Elf-psion sadness! Oh well.*
FFFan80: Be nice if he mentioned it.
The Net Spider: Okay, I'm ready.
FFFan80: You know, on the off chance it could completely fuck us over in some way.
The Net Spider: What's up?
Lithaladhwen: *looks over her shoulder at him* Okay.
THENinjaRabbi: *shrugs* Should we get going?
Lithaladhwen: Well, I was thinking I'd get in touch with everyone again.
FFFan80: Might as well ~_~;
Lithaladhwen: I knew you'd be here, and I spied on the others until I found out where they were.
NebbieQ: *nods* If nothing else, it should be informative.
Lithaladhwen: Sent a squirrel to get them.
FFFan80: Hopefully
The Net Spider: Huh. I bet you did.
THENinjaRabbi: Thing whole thing's confusing enough already...
Lithaladhwen: I did!
THENinjaRabbi: As soon as someone mentions time magic, I get lost.
The Net Spider: Where to?
FFFan80: Anything with time is just going to be fucked up.
Lithaladhwen: Well, I was thinking the park. I like it there, and since we can't exactly meet at the Jade Dragon... seems like a good choice.
FFFan80: I think my partner there nearly went into a coma trying to make heads and tails of it once 9\/9
NebbieQ: Your partner...he is a mage, yes? A very skilled one?
FFFan80: Oh yeah, lot more than me, that's for sure.
The Net Spider: Sounds good, I guess.
NebbieQ: IM: If the mages can't even understand it, then I'm going to be completely lost. ._.
Lithaladhwen: They should be getting there at some point here, but there's not really any need to hurry.
The Net Spider: *Heads out the door, knowing where the park is because goddamit his obscene geographical knowledge has to be good for something.*
FFFan80: ...
Lithaladhwen: *Yadi and Alex follow* So... I have a question.
FFFan80: ...maybe I should've mentioned the whole heading out on a mission bit there.
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: ....nah, he'll be fine I'm sure... <.<
The Net Spider: Oh yeah? Me too. But you first.
NebbieQ: Hmn?
THENinjaRabbi: Well, I finally told Ara.
FFFan80: Nothing.
Lithaladhwen: I didn't get much detail on the whole "Dawn has a sister" thing. Is that something I should keep an eye on?
FFFan80: ...told her, what?
THENinjaRabbi: About the job.
FFFan80: ...and?
THENinjaRabbi: Good thing I'm leaving town...
The Net Spider: *Stops walking and rubs the back of his neck, then his temple.* It's...definitely something to keep in mind.
THENinjaRabbi: *sighs*
FFFan80: ...wasn't too thrilled you forgot to mention it?
The Net Spider: *Describes Ever to Yadi.* You see a girl like that around, bear in mind who she is. Because I know she doesn't WANT to do things for Dawn.
THENinjaRabbi: Not too much.
Lithaladhwen: *stops as well* How concerned should I be? Should I kill her?
NebbieQ: *Politely ignores the troubles of their significant other-hey, is that salt on the table?!*
THENinjaRabbi: Let's just go.
FFFan80: ...know the feeling... <\/<;
The Net Spider: Oh, no, no, not at all, if you can help it.
FFFan80: ...actually, one quick sec
The Net Spider: I mean, if she goes after you, I won't tell you not to fight back.
The Net Spider: But I don't think she will.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* Okay. Just wanted to know.
NebbieQ: If you need to pass a message, you can catch up with us later.
The Net Spider: And if she does, keep in mind that it's probably something Dawn is making her do -- not something she wants to.
FFFan80: Nah, just need to leave a quick message for someone.
Lithaladhwen: That doesn't make a whole lot of difference to me, honestly.
The Net Spider: *Nod.* Fair enough.
FFFan80: *heads to the front desk/bar/whatever the Ivory Horn uses*
The Net Spider: I personally agree with Hakaril about potentially killing the children...
Lithaladhwen: I've fought people under mental control before. *thinks a moment* She got turned into a rabbit. I considered eating her.
The Net Spider: I know I would rather be dead than a slave to anybody like that.
FFFan80: 'scuse me.
The Net Spider: Anyway. Now I want to ask you something.
Lithaladhwen: Sure.
NebbieQ: *Waits patiently.*
Lithaladhwen: *Bartender notices Stephan* Yes?
The Net Spider: *Grins, gets his broom out.* Ever ridden one of these?
FFFan80: Can you leave a message for someone, once they wake up?
Lithaladhwen: Nope.
Lithaladhwen: Of course.
The Net Spider: Want to? ^.^
FFFan80: Should be a bloke with red hair, green robes, yellow hat.
FFFan80: Tell him Stephan went to meet someone at the city park for the Hak job.
Lithaladhwen: I'd need to hold onto Alex.... but if I ride with you I guess you can hold onto him in front.
Lithaladhwen: He doesn't like flying much.
Lithaladhwen: But he'll be fine.
Lithaladhwen: Of course, sir. *nods*
FFFan80: Thanks.
FFFan80: *leaves a couple gil and heads back to the others*
FFFan80: All set.
NebbieQ: *nods*
The Net Spider: He'll be fine. I won't go high. *Hops on the broom side-saddle, and gestures for Alex to get onto his lap.*
Lithaladhwen: Alex: *looks to Yadali*
Lithaladhwen: It's all right. He'll hold on to you, I promise.
The Net Spider: I wouldn't want to make anybody cry.
Lithaladhwen: Alex: *climbs onto Lym*
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: Just realized
FFFan80: We have to follow the furball...
The Net Spider: Okay, now you, Yadi.
FFFan80: ...and it's not here e_e;
THENinjaRabbi: I know where the park is.
THENinjaRabbi: Just follow me.
NebbieQ: She shouldn't be hard to notice.
Lithaladhwen: *sits up behind him on the broom* That work?
The Net Spider: Mhm!
NebbieQ: Lead the way, Mister Kerov?
The Net Spider: *Lym takes her on a flight through the castle's corridors, waving at all the people they pass in a very friendly fashion.
Lithaladhwen: *waves*
FFFan80: We've both lived here long enough, I'm assuming you can remember where it is >.>
Lithaladhwen: *Everyone who knows Yadi ignores you*
The Net Spider: *At one point, he levetates the broom and holds a door open for someone else.*
THENinjaRabbi: *leads the way!*
Lithaladhwen: *Some others give you looks, including the person for whom you open the door*
NebbieQ: *Follows!*
The Net Spider: *Finally gets you out of the castle, flying up just enough to get over everybody's heads on the way to the park.*
Lithaladhwen: Lym, let's beat them there.
FFFan80: *yawns* ~.~
The Net Spider: That's what I like to hear.
The Net Spider: *Flies there fast.*
The Net Spider: *Floating over anything incovnenient.*
Lithaladhwen: ^_^
The Net Spider: It looks nice from up here, don't ya think?
FFFan80: ...guess I should've slept a bit more...
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. I can fly if I do it as an animal, but the broom is nice.
THENinjaRabbi: *Is currently leading way to park, whenever he gets there...*
The Net Spider: It also looks awesome.
The Net Spider: *sets down in the park.*
Lithaladhwen: *hops off*
Lithaladhwen: Come here, Alex!
Lithaladhwen: A: *jumps off of Lym*
Lithaladhwen: *hugs Alex* See, that wasn't so bad.
Lithaladhwen: *notices something* Ducks!
The Net Spider: Ooh!
NebbieQ: *I assume they see the broomstick riders?*
Lithaladhwen: *They flew over you on the way there*
THENinjaRabbi: I like the parks.
THENinjaRabbi: *park
Lithaladhwen: *As the ducks begin to close in, Yadali pulls a piece of bread from her pocket and sits down right in the middle of the flock of them*
NebbieQ: Did either of you see that?
The Net Spider: Aw. *Leans on his broom and watches.*
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah, I saw.
Lithaladhwen: *Feeds ducks, talking and quacking to them* ^_^
FFFan80: *yawns again* ~.~ ....see what?
NebbieQ: I think I saw Lym, on his broomstick.
Lithaladhwen: =Ducks! I have food!=
FFFan80: ......e.e *slight glare*
FFFan80: Wonderful.
THENinjaRabbi: Let's get this over with.
Lithaladhwen: *is now veritably covered in ducks*
Lithaladhwen: ^_^
THENinjaRabbi: *Hurries his way over to the Ducks*
FFFan80: ...
FFFan80: I swear something is fucked with the ducks in this park >\/>;
NebbieQ: IM: So it wasn't just me that noticed.
Lithaladhwen: *turns around* Oh! Hi!
Lithaladhwen: *stands as ducks basically fall off of her like webbed snowflakes*
The Net Spider: *Waves and smiles sheepishly in the most charming way he can manage.*
Lithaladhwen: 6.6 Bye!
Lithaladhwen: Um... we should track down the others.
Lithaladhwen: *points* Over there. Hi, guys!
The Net Spider: Hiya.
NebbieQ: Hello there, miss.
THENinjaRabbi: *walks over* Hello again.
Lithaladhwen: How have you been?
Lithaladhwen: It's been a few days.
FFFan80: *heads over, yawns again* ~\/~
NebbieQ: I'm just a bit tired.
THENinjaRabbi: I'm ready to go.
Lithaladhwen: Hm. Well, have a seat somewhere if you're tired.
The Net Spider: Where are we going, precisely?
NebbieQ: You said you wanted to talk, yes?
Lithaladhwen: I just wanted to update everyone on some stuff.
NebbieQ: *Plops down on a nearby bench.*
Lithaladhwen: *sits cross-legged on the ground and pulls Alex onto her lap*
Lithaladhwen: *pets Alex*
FFFan80: *sits*
Lithaladhwen: Well, General Hakaril hasn't expressly told me not to help him, so I'm going to. He and Darin are off researching time travel stuff. That's why I didn't just call you all to his office.
NebbieQ: *nods*
The Net Spider: Hope they have better luck than I did... *groan.*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, I'm not even going to worry about that. Arcane magic is weird to begin with, but time travel...
Lithaladhwen: no way.
THENinjaRabbi: Indeed.
NebbieQ: The whole thing is confusing to me.
FFFan80: So what, exactly, is the point of us meeting here?
Lithaladhwen: I was just getting to that, Stephan. Eventually. Or something.
Lithaladhwen: Anyway.
Lithaladhwen: Areas around Doma have been seeing a minor increase in arson and accidental fires lately. Probably wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't been watching for it.
Lithaladhwen: But, yeah.
Lithaladhwen: I think it has to do with Dawn and the kids.
The Net Spider: I wonder what the hell they're doing that for.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: Did they leave marks?
The Net Spider: What dot hey have to gain from this stuff?
Lithaladhwen: No. That was only for the Jade Dragon, I guess.
FFFan80: ....wonder why....
Lithaladhwen: I asked myself the same question.
NebbieQ: Hmn. Is there any pattern?
THENinjaRabbi: It's strange.
NebbieQ: Are the places similar, in any way?
Lithaladhwen: Seems totally random.
THENinjaRabbi: When you have an army of brainwashed kids, you don't go setting random fires.
THENinjaRabbi: There's a purpose somewhere.
Lithaladhwen: They start in the southwest and move roughly northeast.
NebbieQ: *nod*
NebbieQ: Besides the inn, were any of the places well known?
Lithaladhwen: Now, the thing is, I tried to find out what she's doing.
Lithaladhwen: No. Not really.
Lithaladhwen: Just a trend, that's all.
FFFan80: I'd be curious what's in the northeast of Doma, then.
NebbieQ: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: It looks like the inn was the real attention-getter here.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, it is a well known inn.
Lithaladhwen: But I used up my emergency healing spell trying to scry on Dawn.
The Net Spider: How'd your search go?
Lithaladhwen: I got zapped.
Lithaladhwen: I can try again, but I need someone with healing spells to stand by in case I get zapped again.
Lithaladhwen: I don't mind, it's just a dumb way to die.
The Net Spider: That's...odd...
THENinjaRabbi: I can heal you, if need be.
The Net Spider: I wonder if that would happen to me if I did my thing...it's not really the same sort of power...
The Net Spider: Or, magic, in your case.
Lithaladhwen: Awesome. Now... should I check on the other one, too?
NebbieQ: She would still have skills to prevent it, if she's as skilled as Miss Eve claims.
The Net Spider: Prevent what?
THENinjaRabbi: Which other one?
The Net Spider: What I do?
Lithaladhwen: The sister. If this is starting up again, I want to know if I have to find her and kill her or something.
The Net Spider: I really don't think we'll need to find her and kill her.
NebbieQ: ...she...I believe she is harmless.
NebbieQ: And to prevent people spying on her.
The Net Spider: If she's involved in this, she'll come to us. And I like her. A lot.
FFFan80: *slight glare at a certain someone... but remains silent*
Lithaladhwen: *funny look to Lym* But if you have a better idea, I'm all ears. Go for Dawn, then?
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah, leave Eve alone.
The Net Spider: That's what I would do. Although her teleportation is problematic.
The Net Spider: We're in a situation where our opponent can basically escape for free at any time.
Lithaladhwen: If I'm spying on her, it really doesn't matter where she is. It'll find her.
Lithaladhwen: Okay, so... um. Yeah.
Lithaladhwen: *goes over to the pond's edge*
The Net Spider: Well, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying when it comes time to do something about her. But go on.
Lithaladhwen: This may take a moment. Shouldn't be too long.
Lithaladhwen: *stares into the water*
Lithaladhwen: *As she does so, Kerov feels a tap on his shoulder*
THENinjaRabbi: *turns around*
Lithaladhwen: *Behind him is a blonde woman with rather unremarkable apparel. She isn't especially attractive, but she's okay-looking* Hi.
Lithaladhwen: You mind if I talk to you for a moment?
FFFan80: <\/<?
THENinjaRabbi: Um...sure.
Lithaladhwen: Fabulous.
Lithaladhwen: *to the others* I'll only need him for a moment.
The Net Spider: Er, Kerov, weren't you going to be healing, just in case?
FFFan80: IM: ...who the hell is this?
Lithaladhwen: I swear. Only a moment.
NebbieQ: A friend, I assume?
The Net Spider: Mam, do you mind my asking who you are?
FFFan80: Well someone better tell what's-her-face to hold off on her pond thing then.
Lithaladhwen: Hm? I have to talk to Sir Altec, but I'm afraid it's rather of a confidential nature.
FFFan80: *heads over*
THENinjaRabbi: Er, someone keep watch. I'll heal if something happens.
The Net Spider: ...
NebbieQ: How long will this take? >.>
THENinjaRabbi: ...
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah, how long.
The Net Spider: *Will be following them silently with his third eye.*
NebbieQ: IM: Please use common sense, please use common sense..
Lithaladhwen: *The scrying or the conversation?*
FFFan80: *scrying*
THENinjaRabbi: *conversation.*
Lithaladhwen: *The scrying will only take a moment when Yadali starts. Right now she's just making herself comfortable. She's apparenltly done this before.*
THENinjaRabbi: Alright, just tell her to not start it yet.
THENinjaRabbi: I'll go talk with...what's your name?
Lithaladhwen: Sir Altec? If you don't mind... *gestures to a bench not far away*
Lithaladhwen: My name's Karen.
NebbieQ: IM: This is far too suspicious.
FFFan80: *pokes the Druid*
THENinjaRabbi: Ok, I'll go talk to Karen real quick, ok?
Lithaladhwen: *heads off to the bench*
Lithaladhwen: Hi.
Lithaladhwen: You need something?
THENinjaRabbi: *Follows her*
FFFan80: You might wanna hold off
Lithaladhwen: Oh.
Lithaladhwen: ...sur.e
Lithaladhwen: *sure
NebbieQ: *Watches Karen and Kerov as they walk off.*
FFFan80: *thumbs at Kerov* Your healer just ran off with some woman
Lithaladhwen: Ah. It happens. Thank you.
FFFan80: Meh. *shrugs*
Lithaladhwen: *sits down*
Lithaladhwen: All right. I just wanted to get out of earshot, since most of this is just for you.
The Net Spider: I just want everyone to keep in mind...
THENinjaRabbi: What is it? *Curious*
The Net Spider: *And Lym! Hehehe.*
The Net Spider: Dawn can make you see things. And hear things. And feel things.
Lithaladhwen: Well, first of all. I heard about what happened the other night.
Lithaladhwen: And... I wanted to let you know that some things are probably for other people to deal with.
THENinjaRabbi: What do you mean, exactly? *eyebrow raise*
OnlineHost: NebbieQ rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
FFFan80: ...you realize of course using that logic.
FFFan80: We could all still be sleeping right now, for all we know.
FFFan80: o.ó
Lithaladhwen: *Kei hears their voices from time to time, but as they're talking quietly, she doesn't hear anything else yet.*
The Net Spider: *Lym doesn't seem to notice the comment. He's staring off into space...in the opposite direction of the conversation.*
NebbieQ: IM: I wish I could get closer without making it obvious...
Lithaladhwen: Well, I'm saying if something were your concern, you would know it.
Lithaladhwen: I also know about what happened to Eva.
Lithaladhwen: I'll pick up the pieces this time...
THENinjaRabbi: ...how do you know her?
Lithaladhwen: but in the future, try to keep your friends in line.
NebbieQ: *How close are they to the Ducks?*
Lithaladhwen: And this part is for you as well as the man who hit my sister. *draws a knife from her belt and shoves it into the side of her neck, collapsing onto the grass in front of Kerov*
Lithaladhwen: *the ducks are nearer to Yadali*
THENinjaRabbi: Fuck!
The Net Spider: SHIT.
THENinjaRabbi: *immediately casts a Cure Serious Wounds on her*
Lithaladhwen: *no effect*
NebbieQ: *Gets up, and begins running towards the two.*
THENinjaRabbi: ....
NebbieQ: IM: What the hell did she do?!
The Net Spider: *Groans.* Dawn.
Lithaladhwen: What the---
Lithaladhwen: *runs over*
Lithaladhwen: What did you do?
THENinjaRabbi: *sits down on the ground*
The Net Spider: *Follows, but since he knows what happened he's in a bit less of a rush.*
THENinjaRabbi: I didn't do anything.
Lithaladhwen: OH.
Lithaladhwen: Well, then.
NebbieQ: He did not do any-he's right.
NebbieQ: The woman did this to herself.
THENinjaRabbi: Don't bother trying to spy on her.
NebbieQ: What happened?
THENinjaRabbi: She knows we're after her.
NebbieQ: (be right back)
Lithaladhwen: ... Uh... okay.
Lithaladhwen: And that matters why?
The Net Spider: It doesn't.
THENinjaRabbi: She's killing people now, just to "keep us in line."
The Net Spider: All the more reason to put her down fast.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah? So... doesn't that bother you or something?
THENinjaRabbi: Yes, it bothers me.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
THENinjaRabbi: But I'm TRYING to stay in control. Now can you kindly tell me where Dawn is?
FFFan80: .....
Lithaladhwen: I'll go have a look if you'll fix me when I get zapped.
The Net Spider: *Lym wants to make an educated guess as to where this lady came from, but I don't know how much style/appearance differs from region to region. Is that something he can do?*
THENinjaRabbi: Oh, Stephan. Apparently, that woman did that 'cause you slapped Eve.
THENinjaRabbi: So let's not do that again. e_e
Lithaladhwen: *She just looks poor*
FFFan80: ...
FFFan80: So it's my fault she's nuts.
Lithaladhwen: *walks to the water's edge* Can I go ahead now?
The Net Spider: No. But it's your fault you're an insensitive, stupid son of a bitch.
THENinjaRabbi: GO FOR IT ALREADY.
The Net Spider: *Walks back to watch Yadi.*
Lithaladhwen: *squats down and stares into the water*
FFFan80: I still take offense to the stupid bit there.
The Net Spider: *Ignore!*
THENinjaRabbi: Shut UP, Stephan. Alright? People are dying now. That is unacceptable.
NebbieQ: (Back.)
Lithaladhwen: *After a few seconds she stiffens, her fingers digging into the grass.*
FFFan80: .....e.e
Lithaladhwen: *Twitch*
The Net Spider: ....That looks bad.
NebbieQ: This woman, you're saying that Dawn killed her lke this?
THENinjaRabbi: *Hurries over to Yadali, and uses Lay on Hands on her (30 HP)*
FFFan80: Listen, you pompous holy fuck....
FFFan80: .....
Lithaladhwen: *goes limp and twitches again*
Lithaladhwen: *sits back*
FFFan80: .....how convenient. >\/>;
Lithaladhwen: *Looks up at Kerov* Damn. You're good.
THENinjaRabbi: *takes a deep breath*
THENinjaRabbi: Alright. It's not your fault, Stephan. Eve could've used a nice jolt.
THENinjaRabbi: I gotta stay focused.
THENinjaRabbi: *Takes another deep breath*
The Net Spider: *Glares at Kerov.*
Lithaladhwen: Okay. I saw her for a moment. I couldn't get a good look at the surrounding area because she definitely knew I was there.
NebbieQ: We can talk about this when we're done. First we need to take care of her, and the druid.
FFFan80: Agreed.
The Net Spider: Do you know where she is, though?
THENinjaRabbi: Did you see anything that could help us?
Lithaladhwen: I sort of have an idea. She was inside, so all I saw were some mountains outside a window.
Lithaladhwen: *The party hears something bad.*
NebbieQ: I will try to take care of the woman's body. It was not her fault she was a pawn i-
NebbieQ: *Pauses*
FFFan80: ......? *looks around*
Lithaladhwen: *They hear the familiar quiet, carefully enunciated voice of Dawn Valerian* Spying on me now?
The Net Spider: Oh for fuck's sake.
Lithaladhwen: *She appears as a translucent image in front of the party*
FFFan80: e.e
The Net Spider: Yes, you're really fuckin' cool, Dawn. We're impressed.
The Net Spider: That is an incredibly nice trick.
Lithaladhwen: Not impressed enough it would seem.
THENinjaRabbi: Taking the time to gloat, are you?
Lithaladhwen: No.
THENinjaRabbi: Gloat while you still have the chance, you bitch.
NebbieQ: *Glares at the visage.* What are you trying to tell us, Dawn?
Lithaladhwen: If you continue to spy on me, you'll end up getting hurt, as your friend finds out every time she tries.
Lithaladhwen: I know what you're doing.
Lithaladhwen: However...
The Net Spider: Thanks for the warning. That's real considerate of you.
Lithaladhwen: As I hate to force you to such extremes of bad manners, I thought I would talk to you.
Lithaladhwen: That's how civilized people behave. *looks at Yadi scornfully*
THENinjaRabbi: ..........
Lithaladhwen: *sticks out her tongue*
The Net Spider: Wow...this girl is obnoxcious.
FFFan80: ...you know.
The Net Spider: So, anything else you'd like to tell us? I'm wondering about the petty arson.
NebbieQ: ...if you want to talk, then talk. We're waiting.
Lithaladhwen: Unfortunately, you cannot be trusted as a group with diplomatic affairs. A few of you *to Stephan* are too violent for your own good.
FFFan80: For someone so 'powerful'.
FFFan80: You sure seem preoccupied with Eve there.
FFFan80: >_> ...worried I knocked some sense into her?
Lithaladhwen: I don't need to worry about Eva.
The Net Spider: *Rolls his eyes.*
FFFan80: Worried she might realize what she's capable of against you? e.e
THENinjaRabbi: *sighs* Stephan, please be quiet.
THENinjaRabbi: At least for a few minutes.
Lithaladhwen: *polite nod to Kerov*
Lithaladhwen: Thank you.
THENinjaRabbi: IM: If we can keep this bitch talking, maybe we can use something she says.
FFFan80: *rolls eyes*
FFFan80: Whatever.
Lithaladhwen: Now, you seem to be operating under several delusions about the well-being of my children.
Lithaladhwen: I am willing to discuss the current dispute between us.
FFFan80: ...
FFFan80: *looks around*
NebbieQ: Then enlighten us. What do you have in mind for them?
FFFan80: *futile? Possibly. Does he care? Nope.*
The Net Spider: My main dispute with you is that you continue to exist.
Lithaladhwen: Certain conditions apply, of course. I will speak with only one of you, or rather... only one emissary will be protected.
NebbieQ: I will talk with you.
Lithaladhwen: I will allow no harm to come to this person, but I will not tolerate violence.
Lithaladhwen: *nods to Kei*
Lithaladhwen: I accept your offer.
THENinjaRabbi: ...
The Net Spider: Hey. Wait. What the fuck?
The Net Spider: Why are you debating with her?
Lithaladhwen: I will allow you to choose a neutral location if you wish, or you may come with me to see the children.
The Net Spider: Why are you trying to be diplomatic?
NebbieQ: I am merely trying to be well informed.
The Net Spider: I've got some fuckin' information for you....
Lithaladhwen: Because. We're adversaries, not animals. Diplomacy is never out of the question.
The Net Spider: *Rolls his eyes.*
FFFan80: ...since someone needs to ask the obvious question.
FFFan80: You realize we have no reason at all to trust you. Why should we right now?
The Net Spider: Why don't we all gather 'round the camp fire and debate whether or not it's okay to use children.
The Net Spider: Let's do that.
The Net Spider: That's totally reasonable. You're right.
THENinjaRabbi: We don't have a choice right now. We'll do it.
Lithaladhwen: *to Stephan* Because I am promising that no harm will come to the emissary in question. I am many things, including a liar. But I never break a promise.
THENinjaRabbi: IM: If we're going to get any sort of information at all...
The Net Spider: Why don't we have a choice?
FFFan80: ...
FFFan80: *pokes Kerov*
The Net Spider: I can tell you anything you need to know.
Lithaladhwen: Because. Certain information is protected even from you.
Lithaladhwen: *slight smile*
NebbieQ: Would any location do?
The Net Spider: Does any of it prove you aren't using children?
Lithaladhwen: *Ignores Lym* Yes, Kei. A neutral location of your choosing. And absolutely no violence. Understood?
THENinjaRabbi: *is poked*
FFFan80: *w* Hey... you read Hak's file there, he mention any crap about her keeping her word, or shit like that?
The Net Spider: *As a general statement.* Fuck you.
Lithaladhwen: I will allow no harm to come to you, but I will not tolerate an attack on myself or my children.
NebbieQ: IM: I need someplace safe in case things go wrong...but someplace that's still close to the city.
NebbieQ: Outside the city gates, tomorrow in the evening. While it's still late, if you please.
NebbieQ: still light*
Lithaladhwen: *nods* Very well.
Lithaladhwen: *blinks away*
THENinjaRabbi: *w* Hold off for a sec*
Lithaladhwen: Uh...
THENinjaRabbi: *.
THENinjaRabbi: (erm, late.)
Lithaladhwen: What the-- You're not going to do it are you?
The Net Spider: *Does Lym have any idea from his training as a psionicist what Dawn is using to protect herself from scrying?*
NebbieQ: I will say this.
THENinjaRabbi: Alright. I have no idea if she'll keep her word. But the only way to get enough information on this bitch is to do what she says.
NebbieQ: If you do not like what I'm doing, then I encourage you to form your own plans.
THENinjaRabbi: You should go. Right now, you're the most levelheaded.
NebbieQ: But...it would be in the best interests of us all if I stay out of them.
FFFan80: I don't think it's too bright, to be blunt.
Lithaladhwen: ... Eh. Better than me getting electrocuted all the damn time.
FFFan80: But *shrug* we don't have many options.
THENinjaRabbi: Just give me any infromation you get. And you won't have to be involved at all anymore.
The Net Spider: Why do we need more information?
Lithaladhwen: You worried she'll fuck with your head or something?
The Net Spider: FOr fuck's sake, what else could you possibly need to fucking know?
NebbieQ: *sighs* Honestly, I think this is foolish myself.
FFFan80: ...well gee, lady.
The Net Spider: I say we start setting up something to fuck her. Right now.
THENinjaRabbi: Maybe she'll let slip.
THENinjaRabbi: Give us a weakness. Something.
FFFan80: She only made a complete stranger stab herself in front of us, why would we be worried about THAT?
FFFan80: 9\/9
The Net Spider: *Rolls his eyes.*
The Net Spider: Because she seems so out of control, right?
THENinjaRabbi: She has to die, but her...followers...don't need to.
The Net Spider: Actually...Kerov...
The Net Spider: I did research. I did my seer thing.
NebbieQ: I think I'll return to my room now. Remember what I said earlier.
The Net Spider: And I have bad news on that exact subject.
NebbieQ: What do you mean?
THENinjaRabbi: ...what is it?
FFFan80: We won't tell you about our brillian plan to rescue you, don't worry
FFFan80: ....?
The Net Spider: From what I can tell, what she's done to them is probably permanent. There are things you can do to a person that they can NOT get rid of.
The Net Spider: Killing her does a lot of things. But that probably isn't one of them.
THENinjaRabbi: ...
THENinjaRabbi: *Takes another deep breath*
The Net Spider: Futhermore, I have reason to suspect that they are not simply under her control.
THENinjaRabbi: *Decides one is not enough, and takes another*
NebbieQ: You have a point. It isn't just her powers...it's the fact they have noone else.
The Net Spider: I can tell you this with certainty: they love her.
The Net Spider: So even if you were to kill her and the control were to dissipate, which it wouldn't, they would still immediately force you into a combat situation.
The Net Spider: All that in mind, here's what I'm reccomending:
NebbieQ: *Begins to walk off, quickly.*
NebbieQ: IM: If I stay, I'll just be putting them at risk.
The Net Spider: We kill all of them. Then we gather their remains, take them to a safe place.
THENinjaRabbi: NO.
FFFan80: ......
THENinjaRabbi: I'm not killing multitudes of kids.
The Net Spider: Then we ressurrect them in a place where they can do themselves and ourselves no harm.
THENinjaRabbi: ....
The Net Spider: When they are killed, it should break her hold on them.
FFFan80: They won't want to come back.
The Net Spider: Then that's their choice.
THENinjaRabbi: That would take a lot of mages...
The Net Spider: But the point is that they are going to force our hands on this.
FFFan80: *sighs*
NebbieQ: *Hey, guess who didn't hear their plan? The kitty didn't hear their plan!*
The Net Spider: Hakaril can give us mages.
Lithaladhwen: ... I'm in.
FFFan80: Listen.
FFFan80: I've been in this situation before.
FFFan80: They will not
Lithaladhwen: I mean... if you want to go to all the trouble of bringing them back...
THENinjaRabbi: But...killing kids...
NebbieQ: IM: ...then again, she can still spy on them, right? v_v; So maybe I'm not doing any good anyways.
FFFan80: Want to come back.
The Net Spider: What I'm saying is we can decide in advance to kill them, and behave accordingly. Or we can go in without a good plan and get killed by them.
FFFan80: If they die.
The Net Spider: Then that's their decision! We should at least give them the right to stay dead.
The Net Spider: There are worse things than death.
The Net Spider: For instance: Being used by that murderous, psycopathic bitch for your entire life.
THENinjaRabbi: ...
The Net Spider: SOMEHOW, I think that, if they were rational, they might fucking agree with me on that one!
Lithaladhwen: Uh.... yeah. I'll be over here. *looks into the water again*
Lithaladhwen: *stares into the water, but appears unharmed*
THENinjaRabbi: So, essentially she's in a situation where I can't touch her.
FFFan80: ....
Lithaladhwen: *staaaaares*
The Net Spider: What's that, Kerov?
THENinjaRabbi: Like I said, I. Don't. Kill. Children.
The Net Spider: Well. That's unfortunate.
The Net Spider: Are you going to stop me when I do it?
THENinjaRabbi: If she's carrying a shield of twenty eight year olds, I can't hurt her.
FFFan80: ...you have noticed he's a Paladin right?
The Net Spider: What I'm doing isn't evil.
THENinjaRabbi: Yes, it is.
FFFan80: Kid
The Net Spider: Any remotely nuanced understanding of the situation would allow you to see that.
FFFan80: I walk a VERY fine line on that front.
The Net Spider: At what point do you kill someone, Kerov?
THENinjaRabbi: When they kill someone. A life for a life.
The Net Spider: Well guess what those kids have fucking done!
THENinjaRabbi: You have no proof.
THENinjaRabbi: And they are not of the right mind.
The Net Spider: Guess what they will continue to do for the rest of their lives.
The Net Spider: I could prove it. Do you want me to prove it? You know what I can do.
THENinjaRabbi: How can I trust you're telling the truth?
The Net Spider: You can look me square in the eye.
THENinjaRabbi: Alright, do it then. *This is pretty much the coldest tone he ever uses*
Lithaladhwen: *staares*
FFFan80: ...*sighs and goes to check on the druid*
FFFan80: *...yes the conversation is getting that bad =[*
Lithaladhwen: *waves to Stephan to be quiet*
The Net Spider: *Closes his eyes and thinks hard, the way he does when he uses hypercognition.*
FFFan80: ....?
FFFan80: *just watches for the moment*
The Net Spider: *Opens his eyes.*
The Net Spider: The short answer is yes.
THENinjaRabbi: You closed your eyes.
Lithaladhwen: *sits back and looks up at Stephan*
The Net Spider: ...I had to to manifest the power.
THENinjaRabbi: I cannot trust your answer.
FFFan80: I see you're not dead yet.
The Net Spider: Look into my eyes *now*.
Lithaladhwen: *w* Don't tell Lym. I just took a look for Eve.
THENinjaRabbi: *snaps his fingers*
FFFan80: Ah.
FFFan80: <.<
FFFan80: *w* ....so... how is the kid doing?
THENinjaRabbi: Hold still. I knew there was a reason I had this.
THENinjaRabbi: *Casts discern lies so that Lym is in the radius*
Lithaladhwen: *w* She's fine.
The Net Spider: Let me explain to you how hypercognition works, Kerov.
FFFan80: ¬_¬ *w* ...guess she's smart enough to cover her own ass if anything...
THENinjaRabbi: Ok. Give me your answer again.
THENinjaRabbi: And do not spare me any details.
The Net Spider: What I do is look deep into my own mind. I take all the little clues that the world has given me.
Lithaladhwen: (Lym, roll a will save.)
OnlineHost: The Net Spider rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
The Net Spider: (That's 30.)
The Net Spider: And I...I open my mind to the universe, Kerov.
Lithaladhwen: (What's the will save DC for your spell, Kerov?)
THENinjaRabbi: (What is it, 10+ spell level + cha?)
THENinjaRabbi: (if so, 18.)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay. I think Lym makes his will save against that spell)
The Net Spider: And what I am telling you is that my intuition, the things that I have observed, and the universe itself tell me that these children have killed. Some more than others. But this is what she does with them.
The Net Spider: She uses them, Kerov.
The Net Spider: And she's going to KEEP fucking using them until we take care of her.
The Net Spider: AND them.
FFFan80: ...mind if I ask ya something?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, sure.
THENinjaRabbi: ....
FFFan80: What's your take on this?
THENinjaRabbi: I...I need to be alone for a little while.
THENinjaRabbi: Just...I need to sit down.
The Net Spider: I understand.
THENinjaRabbi: *Goes and sits on the bench*
Lithaladhwen: ... I say kill them all if we have to. I mean, it sucks when anything that young has to die.
The Net Spider: Please know, if there were any other way...
Lithaladhwen: But really.
FFFan80: ...I guess.
Lithaladhwen: Actually... in the interests of finding more information... I also think we need to find the girl.
THENinjaRabbi: Just...leave me alone right now.
The Net Spider: Alright.
FFFan80: *sighs* ~_~; You mean Eve there?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah.
Lithaladhwen: Lym doesn't think I should kill her, so I won't.
Lithaladhwen: But, really.
The Net Spider: *Instead of approaching them, Lym simply listens in on the discussion with his eye.*
Lithaladhwen: Loose end off the port bow.
FFFan80: ...meh. She's not as bad.
FFFan80: Could've offed us all if she wanted, but didn't.
FFFan80: But who knows.
FFFan80: Maybe she's a puppet too, and we don't know it
THENinjaRabbi: *Puts his head in his hands and goes silent*
Lithaladhwen: *looks at Kerov* I feel bad for the moral types.
Lithaladhwen: Life must suck when you always have to consider what someone else wants.
FFFan80: ...it's not *always* a bad idea... just bad if you do it too much, or for too many people.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, I guess. Morality's too tricky for me.
Lithaladhwen: Everyone's is different.
FFFan80: *smirks* guess that's what makes people so interesting.
Lithaladhwen: All you can really go on for consistency is what happens naturally, what's supposed to happen by natural law.
The Net Spider: *Approaches them.* So.
The Net Spider: We need to plan.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: Well you sound like you've already settled on one.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
The Net Spider: No, I really haven't.
The Net Spider: What I will say is that the one thing I agree with Kei on is the time she gave us.
FFFan80: The way holy man's reacting, it sure seems like it.
The Net Spider: Oh, as far as kids, he may have been convinced. If they need to be killed, I don't think we can count on him, but I think he won't necessarily stop it.
The Net Spider: But it would be nice if we could avoid that, of course.
FFFan80: ...well no shit.
FFFan80: This may come as a shock to you, but I'm not thrilled about it either.
The Net Spider: Nor should you be.
The Net Spider: But we need to forget about the kids for a moment...of course this is what she wants, us worrying about the children instead of how to off her.
FFFan80: I've been like those kids before, and the thought of them dying for some controlling manipulative bitch doesn't sit well with me, you see.
FFFan80: ...point.
The Net Spider: *Nod.* I understand.
The Net Spider: Listen. About Eve.
The Net Spider: Can you look in on her, Yadi?
Lithaladhwen: ...
THENinjaRabbi: *Stands*
Lithaladhwen: Sure. If you like. *grin*
THENinjaRabbi: *walks over to the group* I shall return as soon as I am able. I will not be too long.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. We'll wait. Or I will.
FFFan80: And where are you off too?
THENinjaRabbi: To the temple.
FFFan80: Ah.
THENinjaRabbi: *Turns and goes*
Lithaladhwen: *w to Stephan* Morality stuff.
FFFan80: Well, if your God has any brilliant insight, be sure to share it.
The Net Spider: ... Say a prayer for me, too.
FFFan80: *was it sarcasm... or genuine?*
Lithaladhwen: So, Lym. She's fine. I kinda sorta spied on her already.
The Net Spider: Good to know. And that's alright.
FFFan80: *idly fiddles with a ring on his finger*
The Net Spider: Where was she?
Lithaladhwen: I don't really know where, precisely.
FFFan80: -.- IM: ...please be safe, love...
The Net Spider: Do you have a general idea?
Lithaladhwen: But I can find someone who knows a spell. *nods*
The Net Spider: Well, I can find her myself, I just hoped I wouldn't have to...
The Net Spider: I'm worried about what Dawn said.
Lithaladhwen: What do you mean?
The Net Spider: You know how you spy sometimes?
The Net Spider: Like just now?
The Net Spider: *Taps his third eye.* I do the same thing. Sometimes.
Lithaladhwen: And that'll tell you where she is?
The Net Spider: No. What I'm saying is that I heard Dawn's conversation with Kerov.
The Net Spider: And she said she was going to "pick up the pieces" on Eve.
Lithaladhwen: Oooh. Okay.
The Net Spider: I don't like that.
The Net Spider: I can find out where Eve is the same way I found out what those children did.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, that's bad.
FFFan80: Ok.
Lithaladhwen: Well, where is she, then?
FFFan80: Putting aside, any choice comments you have about me for the moment.
Lithaladhwen: O Master of Finding Shit?
The Net Spider: Yes?
THENinjaRabbi: *Kerov finally returns some time later, looking as if a great weight has been lifted off his shoulders*
FFFan80: You really think she wants us to find her? Or is going to do anything if we do?
Lithaladhwen: o_o Are you gonna look or what?
Lithaladhwen: Kerov? You okay?
The Net Spider: What I think is that she is a psionicist equal to myself in power, and that she is terrified of what Dawn would do to her.
FFFan80: That's pretty obvious.
FFFan80: ...? *notes Kerov*
THENinjaRabbi: Alright. If need be, I will help you guys. But I will not enjoy it.
FFFan80: <.<?
The Net Spider: I'm glad, Kerov.
FFFan80: And what brought this about?
THENinjaRabbi: And if some children ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO die, then I will not still my sword.
The Net Spider: Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs*
Lithaladhwen: *pokes Lym* I want to see this! Find her!
The Net Spider: Okay, okay!
THENinjaRabbi: What's going on right now?
The Net Spider: *Hypercognition: What is the precise location of Eve?*
Lithaladhwen: *She's in a subterranean house-type-thing near the Shumans. He knows the exact location, but I don't feel like giving the precise map coordinates.*
THENinjaRabbi: ...?
The Net Spider: Huh.
FFFan80: Checking on Eve, apparently
Lithaladhwen: He's finding the girl.
The Net Spider: *Describes the location.*
FFFan80: ...hmm.
Lithaladhwen: Cool.
Lithaladhwen: But I have a demiplane, which is better. *looks very proud*
The Net Spider: ...that is pretty cool!
Lithaladhwen: I got it for fighting evil undead and avatars of gods and stuff.
THENinjaRabbi: ...a demiplane.
Lithaladhwen: That's also how Alex was knighted.
Lithaladhwen: General Hakaril had it made for me. I like him.
Lithaladhwen: I don't often meet someone who makes perfect sense.
THENinjaRabbi: ...a demiplane.
Lithaladhwen: Just a little one.
Lithaladhwen: Little bitty one. But it's mine.
The Net Spider: *Question 2: What is the precise location of Dawn? Yay for powers that are not scrying!*
THENinjaRabbi: IM: I should get a demiplane...
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Easier to coordinate the paladins...
FFFan80: Hakaril.
FFFan80: Make sense.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: Uh huh.
Lithaladhwen: *Back at the estate--Biddeford--Yuan-ti caves--estate--*
Lithaladhwen: *The answer changed several times as Lym gathered data*
The Net Spider: Figures.
Lithaladhwen: *But it settled eventually on the estate*
The Net Spider: Well, she's not with Eve.
The Net Spider: Dawn, I mean.
THENinjaRabbi: Alright. We should keep them separate.
THENinjaRabbi: Dawn wants to try to do something with her.
Lithaladhwen: ... That was kind of neat. That would have saved me a lot of trouble.
Lithaladhwen: The whole "I can find anything" thing.
The Net Spider: So. Do we go try to talk to Eve? Do we try to get someone in Doma to send her a guard?
Lithaladhwen: *carefully inspects Lym*
Lithaladhwen: A guard? Who's going to guard her?
THENinjaRabbi: I don't think we should send an overt guard.
THENinjaRabbi: Because then she'll freak out, and we don't want that.
The Net Spider: It's neat, but it has its limitations.
The Net Spider: I can ask one question.
Lithaladhwen: *inspects* Hm.
The Net Spider: A simple scrying spell, if possible, is often far better suited to a given problem.
Lithaladhwen: *she looks like someone at a county fair inspecting horseflesh*
Lithaladhwen: *grin* Yeah. They're useful.
The Net Spider: *Lym just smiles at her charmingly.*
THENinjaRabbi: So..what now?
The Net Spider: I don't know. Fuck. I don't know... I've still got a headache...
The Net Spider: Anyone else got an idea?
Lithaladhwen: Uh.. do something about the dead body over there? *points*
FFFan80: Well...
FFFan80: If my partner were here
The Net Spider: ;.; Oh right.
FFFan80: He'd probably say we should know all we can about psionisist before fighting her, unless we wanna be caught with our pants down. *shrug*
THENinjaRabbi: ...yes, besides that.
FFFan80: ...Not my specialty.
THENinjaRabbi: Ok, you're a psionisist, Lym.
THENinjaRabbi: How do we stop them?
The Net Spider: Right.
FFFan80: Or, you know, have some chance in hell of defending ourselves.
THENinjaRabbi: I mean, I've never dealt with any.
THENinjaRabbi: All I know is that you can melt me with the power of your mind or something.
The Net Spider: First of all, there are things we can do to cancel out a psionic's powers.
Lithaladhwen: Alex: *sniffs Stephan's leg*
FFFan80: >.o
FFFan80: 6\/6? *looks*
The Net Spider: You know anti-magic fields? There are anti-psionic fields.
Lithaladhwen: A: *looks up at him*
FFFan80: ...need something?
Lithaladhwen: Stephan, he probably wants food or attention or something. He's not that picky about which.
The Net Spider: ...not that those would be so helpful to me, of course, but you might like them.
FFFan80: ...er...
FFFan80: 6\/6
FFFan80: ...eh, I need to sit down a minute anyway
Lithaladhwen: Alex: *sits*
FFFan80: *does so!*
THENinjaRabbi: But where do we get something like that?
The Net Spider: Actually it's the same thing.
The Net Spider: Antimagic = antipsionic.
Lithaladhwen: Alex: *sits next to Stephan and puts his head on Stephan's leg*
FFFan80: ...well you didn't piss on my leg, guess that's something.
Lithaladhwen: Alex: *PUPPY DOG EYES*
FFFan80: <\/<
The Net Spider: So the same place you get that. I don't have any use for such things, so I wouldn't know.
Lithaladhwen: Alex likes you. That's good.
The Net Spider: But the big thing with any psionic is fairly obvious.
FFFan80: *holy crap, is that scritching? =O* 6.6
THENinjaRabbi: Hmm.
Lithaladhwen: Alex: ^_^
The Net Spider: Look at me, Kerov. Forget for a second that I can fuse your flesh into a ball, if I'm lucky.
THENinjaRabbi: I'm not capable of creating one of those...but that's useful.
THENinjaRabbi: *does so*
The Net Spider: Forget that if I get real lucky,I can take your brain out.
The Net Spider: *Holds out his arm. Wraps his thumb and forefinger around it.* I'm a fuckin' geek.
Lithaladhwen: *Yadali laughs*
The Net Spider: Big guy like you hits me, I'm going down.
THENinjaRabbi: ...
The Net Spider: And I'm actually fairly tough for a psionicist.
The Net Spider: I had to go to a lot of effort to be able to use this modest armor.
The Net Spider: Dawn has done no such thing. She is frail.
The Net Spider: If you can actually find her, get within range, and hit her, she will go down. Hard.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, that's good to know...
Lithaladhwen: ... I could eat her.
The Net Spider: Could you?
FFFan80: .....*scritch stops*
Lithaladhwen: *mimes chomping motion with her hands*
The Net Spider: Here's basically what I'm thinking would be wise.
THENinjaRabbi: Hm?
The Net Spider: Get her into a fight. Close the distance between us while taking advantage of our magical abilities.
FFFan80: Assuming.
The Net Spider: Then, activate the anti-magic field we're going to have to obtain before then.
FFFan80: *scritches again* 6.6 She hasn't fooled say, me into thinking Kerov is her... in which case I'm chopping him in half with a greatsword.
The Net Spider: She will be defenseless at this point, if we haven't taken her out already. Of course, I'll be useless too.
The Net Spider: You make a good point.
THENinjaRabbi: Hmm.
Lithaladhwen: Alex: *looks adoringly up at Stephan*
The Net Spider: Yadi, you mentioned you've actually killed her before.
Lithaladhwen: I didn't.
Lithaladhwen: Someone else did. I was just there.
The Net Spider: Well. Alright.
The Net Spider: How did that person do it?
Lithaladhwen: He smushed her with a golem.
The Net Spider: ...makes sense.
Lithaladhwen: Oh!
Lithaladhwen: And she was also eaten by a Great Wyrm Force Dragon.
Lithaladhwen: But I don't think we can get one of those.
The Net Spider: ...I don't either...
Lithaladhwen: That was weird. That was on the astral plane, and you could barely see it.
THENinjaRabbi: ....
THENinjaRabbi: Ok, so she CAN get killed...
Lithaladhwen: And then Kazeros had to convince it we weren't after it.
Lithaladhwen: Sure. Most anything can get killed.
The Net Spider: A lot of her power is simply in dominating other people.
The Net Spider: If we can avoid that, and get past the children, we should have a good chance.
FFFan80: The big question *scritch* is how do we avoid it *scritch, scritch*
The Net Spider: Strong minds, and fast action.
The Net Spider: Do any of you have abilities that could weaken her physically? I don't mean beatings, I mean something that could reduce her basic capacities.
FFFan80: *shrugs* most of my stuff's blowing shit up.
The Net Spider: I have to get around her mental or physical defenses to hurt her at all...I have something that would be devestating if it worked, but I need to give it every chance to doits job.
Lithaladhwen: Alex: *adjusts his head a little. continues to enjoy the attention*
THENinjaRabbi: Hmm.
THENinjaRabbi: I have no idea.
Lithaladhwen: So... basically, don't give her a chance to mindfuck you. Then kill her.
The Net Spider: I guess... *sigh*
FFFan80: easier said *scritch scritch* then done.
The Net Spider: It feels like we should be able to do more.
Lithaladhwen: What do you do with the kids after that? And Eve before then?
The Net Spider: The kids, you do what they make you do.
The Net Spider: I'm going to say we probably have to kill them.
The Net Spider: Eve...Eve...shit, Eve.
Lithaladhwen: Eve, shit. Eve... Eve. Yes.
Lithaladhwen: We get it. You're worried and whatever.
THENinjaRabbi: I dunno...
THENinjaRabbi: I don't think Eve did anything.
The Net Spider: *Lym closes his eyes and, out of desperation, pulls a very long shot of a hypercognition attempt.*
The Net Spider: *What can I do within the next 24 hours to make Eve trust me with her life? (This is so not going to work, but Lym wants to do it...)*
Lithaladhwen: *If you find her... no one kill her.*
Lithaladhwen: *Or severely injure her*
Lithaladhwen: (punching doesn't count as severe injury)
The Net Spider: Alright. Here's what I'm thinking.
THENinjaRabbi: Ok, go for it.
The Net Spider: (Sorry, just a sec, realized I didn't know something Lym did...)
The Net Spider: Do any of you know a way I and a friend can get somewhere that is days away within the next 24 hours? We'll need to get back, too.
Lithaladhwen: Uh... Hakaril has a teleporter in his office, but I don't trust it.
The Net Spider: I do.
The Net Spider: Unless you can give me a very good reason I shouldn't.
Lithaladhwen: (font!) We'll ask someone else in the castle. I can go look.
THENinjaRabbi: There's a gate in the Castle, it won't get you right there, but close enough to transport.
Lithaladhwen: His office is scary.
THENinjaRabbi: I mean, where do you want to go?
The Net Spider: I want to go to Eve.
The Net Spider: And we need to be able to get back in time.
The Net Spider: Stephan, I want you to come with me.
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah, there's no gate in the world that'll take you right there...
THENinjaRabbi: *blinks*
FFFan80: ...*blinks*
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Stephan? To get Eve? Wow, that's a shocker.
FFFan80: ....me?
The Net Spider: I want her to know that she can trust us completely. And I can't see a better way of demonstrating that....
The Net Spider: Than if you come along and don't hit her or yell at her.
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: Fine.
FFFan80: I won't touch her.
The Net Spider: Thank you.
Lithaladhwen: So. Castle gate? I don't know where that is.
The Net Spider: I would suggest that while we are gone, Kerov and Yadi go to work finding a way to generate an anti-magic field.
Lithaladhwen: I guess I haven't done enough snooping.
The Net Spider: For the moment: Yadi, if you can take us to the castle, we can work it from there.
THENinjaRabbi: You should ask around. You're a Knight, right?
Lithaladhwen: Um... sure. Do you want us to come get you after a while, or are you relyingg on Eve?
THENinjaRabbi: They told me as soon as I was knighted.
Lithaladhwen: Well, right after he knighted me I ran off to drink Volt with Chandler, so he didn't get a chance to tell me all the requisite stuff.
The Net Spider: We can rely on Eve if nothing goes wrong. Otherwise, I'll drop you a line. *Taps her head.* Up here.
Lithaladhwen: And then we were busy.
Lithaladhwen: ...Okay, Lym.
The Net Spider: Plan sound good?
Lithaladhwen: You're the one going.
Lithaladhwen: Plan sound good?
The Net Spider: Sure.
The Net Spider: Let's get moving.
Lithaladhwen: Kerov, you lead the way this time.
Lithaladhwen: Then we can go research stuff.
THENinjaRabbi: Alright.
THENinjaRabbi: *Leads the way!*
FFFan80: Sure.
FFFan80: *heads out*
The Net Spider: *Yup.*
Lithaladhwen: *follows with Alex*
Lithaladhwen: *Time lapse to the gate?*
The Net Spider: *Sure.*
Lithaladhwen: So... you guys go on through. See how close you can get. *half-hearted attempt to maintain her authority as their employer*
Lithaladhwen: We wait.
Lithaladhwen: Kerov and I look stuff up.
The Net Spider: How close will this take us?
Lithaladhwen: Well, you know where it is, right?
The Net Spider: Mhm.
THENinjaRabbi: It'll take you to a town close by, I suppose.
The Net Spider: Alright.
THENinjaRabbi: Just let the mages know where you wnat to go.
Lithaladhwen: Have fun!
THENinjaRabbi: Or else you'll end up anywhere.
The Net Spider: Stephan, you ready?
THENinjaRabbi: ...yeah...have fun.
FFFan80: Guess so.
The Net Spider: Thanks for trusting me.
The Net Spider: Let's go.
The Net Spider: *Lym speaks with the appropriate people and gives painfully precise instructions.*
FFFan80: *gets ready*
Lithaladhwen: Mages: *nod emphatically*
The Net Spider: Alright. *Um, Lym, does the thing, that you do. Walking through the gate, I guess.*
Lithaladhwen: *That's what you do. Stephan following, I presume.*
FFFan80: *indeed*
Lithaladhwen: *They come out behind a house in a rural town near the mountains*
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: *looks around*
The Net Spider: Okay...step two.
The Net Spider: *Looks around for a person to talk to.*
Lithaladhwen: *An old woman is sweeping her porch*
The Net Spider: Excuse me, mam?
FFFan80: *still looking about*
Lithaladhwen: ...Yes?
The Net Spider: My friend and I are travelers that have happened accross your town more or less by chance. Can you tell us where we are?
Lithaladhwen: *a young man with an armful of groceries is walking into his house next door, also.*
Lithaladhwen: Oh... well...
Lithaladhwen: Those are the Shumans. You don't get a better landmark than that. You're in the town of Lewiston. *nod*
The Net Spider: *Is that what I'm looking for?*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah, You're close.*
Lithaladhwen: *Really close*
The Net Spider: *Alright.*
The Net Spider: Thank you, madam.
The Net Spider: *How close am I? Lym has a super-precise location here.*
Lithaladhwen: *Damn close.*
FFFan80: ...so are we hopelessly lost, or what?
The Net Spider: *Lym, um, walks in the direction of, her location. Looking for likely structures to lead to her.*
The Net Spider: No, not at all. In fact, we're in the exact location we wanted.
FFFan80: That's a change of pace
The Net Spider: Heh heh.
Lithaladhwen: *They notice a rather large mass of vines in the general direction they're looking for. It's not precisely the spot they want, but it's the most obvious thing around for a while.*
The Net Spider: Huh. ... *Pokes vines. Examines.*
The Net Spider: What do you make of this?
Lithaladhwen: *The vine twitches and makes a swing at Lym. It misses horribly.*
FFFan80: *are these along the side of a house?*
FFFan80: ....
The Net Spider: O...kay...
Lithaladhwen: *No. They're hanging over a cave opening.*
The Net Spider: *Can Lym slip under them?*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah.*
The Net Spider: *crawl.*
Lithaladhwen: *They swing at you guys a lot, but while they're nasty as plants go, they're not all that scary*
FFFan80: *can Stephan slip under?*
Lithaladhwen: *same*
FFFan80: *follows, then*
The Net Spider: *scooches like a plastic army man, yo.*
Lithaladhwen: *awesome. the plants are pissed but harmless*
FFFan80: ...I'd of preferred chopping em myself.... >.>
The Net Spider: We're coming here in good faith. So we don't want to chop if we can help it.
The Net Spider: *What's it look like in here?*
Lithaladhwen: *dark*
Lithaladhwen: *totally dark*
FFFan80: *out comes the lantern!*
The Net Spider: Nice.
The Net Spider: *Now how's it look?*
Lithaladhwen: *Tunnel with very smooth walls. Almost totally round is this tunnel*
FFFan80: ...bit round for a cave.
The Net Spider: Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with this. But I think this should lead us to Eve.
The Net Spider: *Walk!*
FFFan80: *follows, keeping an eye out*
Lithaladhwen: *You walk. It's uneventful, except for the occasional drip of water.*
Lithaladhwen: *The tunnel stops abruptly, and there's a wooden door in front of you.*
The Net Spider: *Will totally walk until he reaches something that is of interest.*
The Net Spider: *spoke too soon!*
The Net Spider: ...well, um...
The Net Spider: .... *knock, knock, knock.*
FFFan80: ......o_ó
Lithaladhwen: *rustling noise from behind the door, then silence*
The Net Spider: *Through door:* It's Lym.
Lithaladhwen: *The sound of metal dropping comes from behind the door*
Lithaladhwen: Lym?
Lithaladhwen: ...It's open.
FFFan80: *hangs back*
The Net Spider: I've got Stephan with me. But he's cooled down. He won't hit you.
The Net Spider: *Opens the door slowly.*
Lithaladhwen: *As he opens the door, Eve steps back and a short spear teleports from the floor to her hand*
Lithaladhwen: Hi.
The Net Spider: *Regards the spear with some curiosity.*
Lithaladhwen: How the hell did you find me.
Lithaladhwen: Why?
The Net Spider: I found you with my power. You know. Hypercognition.
The Net Spider: And we came here because we're concerned about you.
Lithaladhwen: Well, here I am.
The Net Spider: *Steps just a little closer, so he's in dangerous proximity with the spear, clearly can't defend himself against it even if he wants to.*
Lithaladhwen: *tenses just a little*
The Net Spider: I don't want...to frighten you...but you deserve the truth, dear.
The Net Spider: You know that Dawn has you on her mind again...you know that she can find you...and today, we had some communication with her.
FFFan80: *observes for now*
The Net Spider: She said something that led me to worry very deeply for your safety.
The Net Spider: We're all worried.
Lithaladhwen: She does that.
Lithaladhwen: *watches Stephan* And you? Are you 'worried for my safety' too?
FFFan80: *looks up*
Lithaladhwen: *eyebrow*
FFFan80: A bit of my own, if you must know.
FFFan80: *idly rubs at a bruise on his face*
Lithaladhwen: ... What happened to you?
FFFan80: ...
FFFan80: *points* ask him.
The Net Spider: *Smile.*
Lithaladhwen: ...
The Net Spider: I taught him a little compassion.
Lithaladhwen: I see.
The Net Spider: Stephan is a good man. He means well. But he doesn't always think before he swings.
FFFan80: IM: ...that sounds eerily familiar.
The Net Spider: Understandably, he doesn't overflow with the urge to hug either of us, but whether he's willing to admit it or not, he was worried about you too.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: Oh.
Lithaladhwen: Well, um. What are you all so concerned about? *lays the spear on the kitchen counter*
The Net Spider: Well, like I said....we spoke with Dawn today...
The Net Spider: She...made a woman, her messenger, kill herself.
The Net Spider: But before she did, she said something that suggested she would be in contact with you very shortly.
Lithaladhwen: ...
The Net Spider: I'd rather you were with us where I could keep an eye on you, if you'd be willing to come back to the castle with us.
The Net Spider: Actually... *grins sheepishly, scratches the back of his neck* You're kind of supposed to be our ride, if you're willing...
Lithaladhwen: *small smile*
Lithaladhwen: *sigh*
Lithaladhwen: *looks around her little hideout* Fine. I don't know that it'll do any good, but fine.
FFFan80: You know her better than any of us.
The Net Spider: Okay. Thank you.
Lithaladhwen: *slow nod*
The Net Spider: ...shall we go?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. This way. *gestures to another door* So... you didn't kill my vines did you?
The Net Spider: Oh no. Crawled right under them.
Lithaladhwen: Cool.
FFFan80: You may want to look into that.
The Net Spider: Mhm!
Lithaladhwen: The berries make good wine. I sell them for a cut of the results.
Lithaladhwen: I have to kick the plant's ass every now and again, but it's worth it.
Lithaladhwen: *opens the door and walks through a veritable wine cellar and fills her bag with wine and cigars* Okay. We go?
The Net Spider: Cool. *Drools at the booze.*
FFFan80: Wait.
FFFan80: I want to ask one thing.
FFFan80: *looks at Lym* and that's it.
Lithaladhwen: ...what.
FFFan80: *looks back*
The Net Spider: Okay?
FFFan80: Are you absolutely sure abou this, even with what we may end up having to do?
FFFan80: If not, say so now.
Lithaladhwen: It doesn't matter what I want. This... I-- I have to.
Lithaladhwen: Or it'll never end.
The Net Spider: *Nods silently.*
FFFan80: I was hoping you'd realize that.
Lithaladhwen: I think I've known it for a while. Anyway. Out.
Lithaladhwen: *offers both hands to them*
The Net Spider: Back to Doma.
The Net Spider: *Takes a hand.*
FFFan80: *likewise*
Lithaladhwen: *The three of them are pulled into the astral plane and Eve leads them confidently through*
FFFan80: IM: ...this is new.
Lithaladhwen: *They come out on the edge of Doma and near the ruins of the JD*
The Net Spider: That is so cool.
The Net Spider: Let's find Yadali and Kerov!
Lithaladhwen: Where are they?
Lithaladhwen: You supposed to meet them?
FFFan80: In the castle, when we left.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. I can't teleport in there.
Lithaladhwen: So, we walk.
The Net Spider: Mhm.
FFFan80: Well let's get the hell over there then.
Lithaladhwen: *walks!!*
Lithaladhwen: *stops, rethinks*
FFFan80: ....
Lithaladhwen: *gets her broom out of her bag*
FFFan80: Something wrong?
Lithaladhwen: I don't feel like walking. You want to ride with me, or with Lym?
FFFan80: ......
The Net Spider: *Gets out his broom and wiggles his eyebrows at Stephan.*
FFFan80: IM: ...this is a fun choice, the one I smacked or the one who smacked me.
Lithaladhwen: Come on. I don't bite.
Lithaladhwen: You rode with me before.
FFFan80: *sighs* Whatever, fine.
Lithaladhwen: Kay then.
FFFan80: *hops on*
Lithaladhwen: *sets out for the castle*
The Net Spider: *Fly!*
Lithaladhwen: *They get to the gates, and Eve stops* I can't go in just yet. I need a pass. One of you will have to go get Feathers to let me in.
FFFan80: ...heh.
The Net Spider: Oh, uh, I'll do it.
The Net Spider: *Goes to do whatever she is referring to, which mike is not familiar with.*
Lithaladhwen: *Need a pass. Lym would have a temporary one.*
The Net Spider: *Yes, um. Pass getting occurs.*
Lithaladhwen: *Find Kerov?*
The Net Spider: *Sure.*
THENinjaRabbi: *He's in his office, doing some paperwork*
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Hmm. I haven't heard from that group in a while...
THENinjaRabbi: IM: I should check in...
THENinjaRabbi: *looks up* Wow, you're back soon.
The Net Spider: Nomads, man. They move.
THENinjaRabbi: I trust you were successful?
The Net Spider: We've got her. She needs a pass.
THENinjaRabbi: Ah, ok. *finds a sheet of paper and quickly fills it out* What's her full name?
The Net Spider: *Um, shit. What is her full name?*
THENinjaRabbi: Hm. I hate all this paperwork. It was easier when you could just run amok in the castle...
THENinjaRabbi: But I digress, that was a simpler time.
Lithaladhwen: (*Eva Valerian*)
The Net Spider: Eva Valerian.
The Net Spider: (Oh right.)
THENinjaRabbi: *fills it out* Ok, let's go get her.
The Net Spider: K.
Lithaladhwen: *stands with Stephan* So.
THENinjaRabbi: *heads over to the gate*
Lithaladhwen: How'd you get dragged into coming after me?
FFFan80: ...well.
FFFan80: Lym figured I should guarantee in person I wouldn't smack you around again *shrug*
Lithaladhwen: *rueful laugh* Lovely.
Lithaladhwen: Well, as long as we aren't killing each other, it's better than nothing.
THENinjaRabbi: Ah, Eve. Welcome back to Doma. *walks up to her*
Lithaladhwen: *looks over at him* Yeah.
THENinjaRabbi: Here, use this. *hands her the pass*
Lithaladhwen: *looks down at the pass and her face is troubled for a moment before she puts it away*
Lithaladhwen: Thanks.
FFFan80: ...
FFFan80: Something the matter?
Lithaladhwen: *pulls out the pass and points to the name* That's what she calls me. But... then again it is my name.
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs and puts it away again*
Lithaladhwen: That's me.
THENinjaRabbi: We...uh, have a new person that's going to join us.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah?
THENinjaRabbi: Her name's Myrnal. She...uh, likes knives.
The Net Spider: .... Knives.
The Net Spider: I guess they're cool.
THENinjaRabbi: We got some scrolls of antimagic, and she's the only one that we know of that can use them.
The Net Spider: Right...I forgot how tricky that can be,.
Lithaladhwen: So. What now?
THENinjaRabbi: She's probably in her room now. Or eating cheesecake. One of the two.
Lithaladhwen: What have I missed?
THENinjaRabbi: Um, not all too much, honestly. I suppose Lym and Stephan updated you.
Lithaladhwen: He said you talked to her.
Lithaladhwen: That she killed someone, and that was about it.
THENinjaRabbi: Yes...that's pretty much it.
Lithaladhwen: ...*long pause* What did she say?
THENinjaRabbi: Essentially, "she's going to pick up the pieces for you."
THENinjaRabbi: And, um, don't mistreat you or more people'll be hurt.
FFFan80: I need to start getting ready, myself.
Lithaladhwen: *looks stunned* Oh.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: *deep in thought*
Lithaladhwen: ...
FFFan80: Maybe see if my partner knows some things we can try for this.
THENinjaRabbi: It's highly possible.
Lithaladhwen: *no longer paying attention to any of them*
FFFan80: I'll let you know if he does.
The Net Spider: What are you thinking, Eve?
FFFan80: IM: ...and hope to hell he doesn't kill me <_<;
Lithaladhwen: Nothing. Just... stuff from when we were kids.
FFFan80: *scoots off back to the Ivory Horn*
The Net Spider: *nod.*
Lithaladhwen: And, um.... it's... *broods some more*
Lithaladhwen: *shakes it off* Anyway.
Lithaladhwen: Where am I apparently staying?
FFFan80 has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: Should probably head that way and get set up.
The Net Spider: Um... *Shrug.*
The Net Spider: I'm sure we can hook you up with a room.
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah, there's plenty of guest rooms.
Lithaladhwen: *nod*
THENinjaRabbi: And, uh, if you're hungry or anything, there's the kitchen, it's usually always serving something.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. Is there going to be, like... an armed guard outside my door waiting for me to kill everyone or something? Because that would kind of suck.
THENinjaRabbi: No.
Lithaladhwen: I already ate.
Lithaladhwen: And, um. Thanks.
THENinjaRabbi: I signed your pass, you won't have to worry.
Lithaladhwen: ... thank you. I know this is kind of a risk on your part.
Lithaladhwen: Giving the nearest Valerian a pass to the castle.
Lithaladhwen: They won't let me smoke inside, will they?
THENinjaRabbi: You can in your room, just not outside it.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. Awesome.
Lithaladhwen: I stocked up. You should stop by.
THENinjaRabbi: You can near the mages' quarters. That's usually smoking anyways.
Lithaladhwen: I have really good Inustani cigars.
THENinjaRabbi: Hmm.
Lithaladhwen: Really good.
THENinjaRabbi: I might stop by later.
Lithaladhwen: *looks a little relieved* Cool.
THENinjaRabbi: If you need me right now, I'll probably be in my office. The door's usually closed, but unlocked.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. I'll stop in if I need anything.
Lithaladhwen: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: And, um. Thanks. This is really nice of you.
The Net Spider: *Smiles.* I'm going to go get some rest.
THENinjaRabbi: Listen, just because your last name is the same does not make you the same person.
THENinjaRabbi: You understand?
Lithaladhwen: Lym, could you stay a sec?
Lithaladhwen: *looks down* Yeah.
THENinjaRabbi: I'll help you get set up, if you'll follow me.
The Net Spider: Oh, yeah, sure.
Lithaladhwen: Um, just a moment. I need to talk to Lym. I'll be in there in a bit.
THENinjaRabbi: *nods, and heads off*
Lithaladhwen: Lym.... I don't know what I can do to fix this mess... but for what it's worth, thank you for coming for me.
The Net Spider: No problem at all, dear.
Lithaladhwen: Dear? *little smile* I'm 'dear' now?
The Net Spider: *Grin.* Sure you are. Dear.
Lithaladhwen: Uh huh. Puddin.
Lithaladhwen: *grin*
The Net Spider: *Laugh.*
The Net Spider: Careful now or I'll be gettin' the wrong idea. ;0p
Lithaladhwen: *smile fades* Yeah. Probably. Anyway... yeah. I'll see you in the morning.
Lithaladhwen: Kay?
The Net Spider: Alright. Lemme know if you need anything.
Lithaladhwen: I will. *heads off after Kerov*
The Net Spider: *Heads off to bed.*
Lithaladhwen: </rp?>
THENinjaRabbi: (Sure.)
Lithaladhwen: <logging>
