You have just entered room "RP of slimy death."
UltimateKoD has entered the room.
THENinjaRabbi: Yo.
UltimateKoD: Must go put pizza downstairs.
UltimateKoD: BRB.
THENinjaRabbi: That's cool.
dragonclawsedw has entered the room.
dragonclawsedw: DUM DUM DUM DUUUUUUUUM!
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
THENinjaRabbi: Sorry. ^^
Arch mage144 has left the room.
UltimateKoD: Oooh... I think I drank too much Sunny D at one time...
THENinjaRabbi: You unleashed the power of the sun too early.
UltimateKoD: Now I have a supernova in my gut.
OMG Archmage has entered the room.
THENinjaRabbi: Alright...
OMG Archmage: Much better.
THENinjaRabbi: Cha and Kate know their roles.
UltimateKoD: Yes, we do.
dragonclawsedw: Rawr!
UltimateKoD: I'm ready.
UltimateKoD: Who else we missin'?
THENinjaRabbi: Lemme type up my schpiel...
THENinjaRabbi: Um...nobody.
THENinjaRabbi: I mean, some people are going to see this, so they don't bitch me out.
THENinjaRabbi: But I dunno if they're on.
OMG Archmage: Err?
THENinjaRabbi: Pervy.
dragonclawsedw: Pervy was eating last I checked...
THENinjaRabbi: I'll invite him when he's back.
dragonclawsedw: Oh come on you know he'll make a fuss...
THENinjaRabbi: I do know!
OMG Archmage: Uh huh.
THENinjaRabbi: The first part here doesn't need him.
THENinjaRabbi: In any case...
THENinjaRabbi: <It is a quiet night in Doma Castle. Unbeknowingst to some, though, there is trouble afoot. Three Rivan Dragoons have invaded the castle, using passages known only to a few. Their goal: Assassinate the Queen, and set an (c)
THENinjaRabbi: example to the other dragons out there.>
THENinjaRabbi: <go!>
OMG Archmage: (sounds like a good time)
THENinjaRabbi: (What do you mean?)
OMG Archmage: (Sarcasm)
THENinjaRabbi: (Pfft.)
UltimateKoD: (Fending off assassins are fun for the whole family...)
dragonclawsedw: *Aya, meanwhile, sleeps, since that is night*
OMG Archmage: *Hakaril leans over his desk, peering intently at the top sheet of very tall stack of yellowed papers*
UltimateKoD: *Charles stays up, doing paperwork by candlelight*
OMG Archmage: Great Lord Agnostic. *muttering*
THENinjaRabbi: *The dragoons have studied their passages, and use one that leads into the fireplace in the Queen's quarters*
OMG Archmage: *the mage looks like he's halfway between passing out on his desk from exhaustion and getting up and running around screaming to relieve the boredom*
THENinjaRabbi: *they open the latch, and emerge, quietly*
THENinjaRabbi: D1: this the place?
THENinjaRabbi: D2: I'm certain.
THENinjaRabbi: D3: Good, let's make this quick. *Begins to tiptoe to Aya*
THENinjaRabbi: D2: wait! I think we should wake her up.
THENinjaRabbi: D3: Are you a moron?
OMG Archmage: *growls throatily at the obnoxious pile of paperwork before him, signing some documents with an quill and ink without even reading them*
THENinjaRabbi: *The dragoons aren't exactly quiet, and they begin to stir Aya*
dragonclawsedw: >.o *yawns*
THENinjaRabbi: D1: Listen, we can maybe shake her a little, then end it. But we can't recite patriotic speeches.
THENinjaRabbi: D2: Fuck, what was that?
UltimateKoD: *scribble scribble scribble*
dragonclawsedw: Charles....?
THENinjaRabbi: D3: Shit, she's waking up! Quiet, quiet!
dragonclawsedw: *sits up*
THENinjaRabbi: *The dragoons freeze*
OMG Archmage: *out of desperation, pops a sheet of parchment in his mouth and chews it idly*
dragonclawsedw: Charles is that you over there?
THENinjaRabbi: D2: *with obviously fake accent* Yes, honey. Go back to bed.
dragonclawsedw: .....you sound funny, dear...what's wrong?
THENinjaRabbi: D3: She's not buying it.
THENinjaRabbi: D2: Shut the fuck up! She was convinced!
dragonclawsedw: ....okay who's there?!
UltimateKoD: *sigh* e_e
THENinjaRabbi: D1: We're here to kill you, QUEEN. *sarcastic*
THENinjaRabbi: D2: SO DIE!
dragonclawsedw: WHAT?!
THENinjaRabbi: *D3 draws a lance, and begins running*
THENinjaRabbi: *The guards bang on the door, and ask it everything is ok*
dragonclawsedw: *responds with something that's basically "no" plus a lot of cussing*
THENinjaRabbi: *The guards barge in, and an alarm is set off*
UltimateKoD: ...
UltimateKoD: *takes the candle, and walks to the bedroom*
THENinjaRabbi: *Basically, Charles finds a standoff between two guards, three dragoons, and his wife*
THENinjaRabbi: *Neither the guards or the dragoons want to move*
dragonclawsedw: *Aya looks like she wants to launch a fireball in someone's face*
THENinjaRabbi: D1: JUST KILL HER! OUR LIVES ARE FOR NAUGHT!
THENinjaRabbi: D3: Yessir!
dragonclawsedw: *does just that, launching a fireball at D3*
THENinjaRabbi: (No dice here..)
THENinjaRabbi: D3: AURGH, MY EYES!
THENinjaRabbi: *and...all hell promptly breaks loose.*
OMG Archmage: (I'm assuming Hak hears the alarm.)
dragonclawsedw: (He does)
OMG Archmage: *starts up at the sound of the alarm being raised*
THENinjaRabbi: *The guards eliminate the three dragoons in short order, as they are confused, distracted, and not realizing that the person they were sent to kill wasn't going to just sit there and take it*
OMG Archmage: Holy shit, what the hell's going on here!?
OMG Archmage: *dashes out into the hallway, rubbing his eyes*
THENinjaRabbi: *When Hak makes it to the bedroom, he finds three dead dragoons, two guards, a (probably) twitchy queen, and a (probably) suprised king*
UltimateKoD: An assassination attempt.
dragonclawsedw: How did they get IN here!?
THENinjaRabbi: *One of the guards starts barking out orders to secure the castle*
THENinjaRabbi: G2: Unknown, your highness! We shall find out!
OMG Archmage: ...what the FUCK?
OMG Archmage: ...Aya...*raises an eyebrow*
UltimateKoD: I know, I know... *calls to a guard* I want a full report on this. Everything that's to be known of this, I want to know. Understand?
OMG Archmage: *kneels down to check the dragoons' armor*
THENinjaRabbi: G1: *nods*
dragonclawsedw: *looks both scared and pissed off*
OMG Archmage: *any identifiable crests?*
THENinjaRabbi: *They are of the True Lance*
OMG Archmage: Go figure. Fundamentalists.
THENinjaRabbi: *The castle is secured*
UltimateKoD: That makes sense.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: My liege, it shall take several days to figure out exactly what happened.
UltimateKoD: ... you have 48 hours.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Yes, my liege.
OMG Archmage: That's two days. Better be enough.
OMG Archmage: What're you going to do if they can't figure it out, execute them?
UltimateKoD: ... we'll see.
OMG Archmage: *rubs his eyes* Right.
OMG Archmage: At least no one got hurt.
OMG Archmage: ...no one that didn't deserve it, anyway.
UltimateKoD: ... indeed.
THENinjaRabbi: (Anyone mind a timeskip?)
OMG Archmage: (no)
UltimateKoD: (No.)
dragonclawsedw: (Go for it)
THENinjaRabbi: (okies.)
THENinjaRabbi: *Two days later, things are just begining to return to normal. Doma was under slightly tighter security, and they watched over who was entering/leaving.*
OMG Archmage: (The king ordered that the security level be elevated to "red")
THENinjaRabbi: (Figured.)
THENinjaRabbi: *The guards finished their report, and wished to present it to the King privately.*
UltimateKoD: *agrees*
THENinjaRabbi: G1: So, you see sir...
THENinjaRabbi: G1: This is how they got in. *is pointing to schematics of the castle, and a passageway that the King knew about*
UltimateKoD: ... heh. I used that to sneak out as a kid.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: They got in here, and made their way to Her Highness' bedroom. We have already begin sealing the passage to prevent further attacks
THENinjaRabbi: +.
UltimateKoD: Excellent.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: There is a slight problem, though.
UltimateKoD: Mmm? o.o
THENinjaRabbi: G1: See, as far as we found out, only a few people actually knew about this passage.
UltimateKoD: And those people would be?
THENinjaRabbi: G1: One being you, one being the Queen, and the generals of Doma.
UltimateKoD: *stunned*
THENinjaRabbi: D1: To have this information slip out would be dangerous to you, so we suspect..
THENinjaRabbi: *G
UltimateKoD: ... yes?
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Quite frankly, we suspect someone on the inside was behind this.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: However, we do need to conduct a fuller investigation on this.
UltimateKoD: ... make sure of it. And place covert surveillance on everyone.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: How long do we have?
UltimateKoD: Hmmmm... whoever tried this will try again, and soon before we're fully ready. Find this ... individual within the next 24 hours, or sooner.
UltimateKoD: Much preferably sooner. This is my wife we're talking about.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Yes, my liege.
THENinjaRabbi: *A loud knock is held at the door*
THENinjaRabbi: *heard
UltimateKoD: Come.
OMG Archmage: *meanwhile, Hakaril is in his office, trying to put a leash on an uncooperative paperweight*
THENinjaRabbi: *Several more guards have been placed at all the important people's rooms*
OMG Archmage: Paperweight: GRRAAARRRGH!
THENinjaRabbi: *A second guard barges in*
THENinjaRabbi: G2: Sir, we caught someone in connection to the attempt!
UltimateKoD: Bring him to me. Bound.
dragonclawsedw: (It's a mimic!)
THENinjaRabbi: G2: Already done. *G3 enters with a bound prisoner*
THENinjaRabbi: G2: We found this note on him. *hands it to the King*
UltimateKoD: *reads it*
THENinjaRabbi: *it reads: "Pike- I am afraid that our little outing was ruined yesterday. I request some more meat to cook. I promise that I will not burn it this time. Sincerely, Blue"*
UltimateKoD: *to the prisoner* You're Pike?
THENinjaRabbi: P: No, no!
THENinjaRabbi: P: He gave it to me! Paid me 2000 gil to take it to Riva!
THENinjaRabbi: P: Told me not to show anyone!
UltimateKoD: Who exactly IS Pike, then?
UltimateKoD: A dragoon?
THENinjaRabbi: G2: We do not know.
UltimateKoD: And... Blue?
THENinjaRabbi: G2: However, this prisoner says he was in contact with someone from the castle, who must be the "Blue" in this letter.
UltimateKoD: It's really important we know who Blue is...
OMG Archmage: *shoves the rogue paperweight in a cage and slams it shut, slapping a padlock on the door and glaring reproachfully at the artifact, which hisses and jumps around frantically*
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
THENinjaRabbi: P: I saw him! He wore robes..told me if I told you about him, he would kill me!
THENinjaRabbi: P: You've got to save me! He's gonna kill me!
UltimateKoD: I will kill you if you do not tell us who Blue is!
THENinjaRabbi: P: But he told me...
THENinjaRabbi: P: He's going to kill me...those eyes..that hat...
UltimateKoD: ... hat?
THENinjaRabbi: P: He put it on the table while we talked...he put a hood over his face...
UltimateKoD: What did the hat look like?
THENinjaRabbi: P: ....feather...
THENinjaRabbi: P: *is close to tears*
UltimateKoD: ... eVe What color was the hat?
OMG Archmage: ...I should just disenchant this fucker. It's more trouble than it's worth.
THENinjaRabbi: P: RED!
OMG Archmage: What good is a paperweight that won't hold still? 9_9
UltimateKoD: ...
THENinjaRabbi: P: *crying*
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Sir?
UltimateKoD: Search Hakaril's room. And place Hakaril himself in a holding cell.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: yes, my liege.
dragonclawsedw: *meanwhile, Ayra decides to drop by Hakaril's room for a second* =o.o= Mister Hakaril.....
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Throw the prisoner in a cell, make sure he stays alive.
OMG Archmage: ...hey, Ayra!
OMG Archmage: *looks down at the catgirl*
dragonclawsedw: ...... *stares up at him, looking upset*
dragonclawsedw: I....
OMG Archmage: ...what's the matter?
UltimateKoD: *grumbles, puts a fist in the wall*
dragonclawsedw: I...*sniff*
THENinjaRabbi: *G1 begins to walk toward Hak's room*
OMG Archmage: ...Ayra, c'mon, tell me what's wrong. *sighs*
UltimateKoD: ... I'll be in my chambers if you need me. *proceeds to his room*
dragonclawsedw: I hate my job..... *runs away*
OMG Archmage: ...what?
OMG Archmage: ...*raises an eyebrow*
THENinjaRabbi: G1: *walks into Hak's room*
OMG Archmage: Ayra! What are you talking about!?
OMG Archmage: ...hey, did you just see Ayra?
OMG Archmage: She looks...really upset...
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Her job is tough, I believe.
OMG Archmage: ...being the reaper can't be easy sometimes...
THENinjaRabbi: G1: In any case, I'm afraid I have to escort you to a cell.
OMG Archmage: But she never complained before.
OMG Archmage: ...you're going to what?
THENinjaRabbi: G1: King's orders.
OMG Archmage: Uh. Sorry. Give me a real reason.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Frankly, the report has come in, and we believe it was an inside job.
OMG Archmage: What report?
THENinjaRabbi: G1: You are one of the few that knew of the passage the dragoons used...
OMG Archmage: ...what are you saying!?
THENinjaRabbi: G1: The King wishes to hold you for a short time.
OMG Archmage: The king can suck my cock.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: I believe you will be released soon.
OMG Archmage: I'm not sitting in a prison cell.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Are you disobeying an order?
OMG Archmage: I don't take orders that compromise my personal comfort.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Listen, sir. This is only a minor inconvenience.
OMG Archmage: You're accusing me of plotting treason.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: I am sure it will be cleared up by the end of the day, and you can return home.
OMG Archmage: If you're so sure I'm innocent, there's no reason to imprison me, is there?
THENinjaRabbi: G1: His highness requires more convincing.
OMG Archmage: Yeah, well. I'm going to talk to him in person. Right now.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Just come with me, and don't compromise your situati...sir...
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Very well. Follow me.
OMG Archmage: Where is he, tell me.
THENinjaRabbi: *begins to lead Hak*
OMG Archmage: ...*grabs his hat off his desk and puts it on his head, adjusting it smartly*
OMG Archmage: *and follows the guard*
THENinjaRabbi: *They enter the Throne Room, just as the prisoner is being led out*
OMG Archmage: *glances at the prisoner* Who's that?
THENinjaRabbi: *the prisoner, upon seeing Hakaril, begins freaking out, completely*
OMG Archmage: ...o_O
THENinjaRabbi: P: DON'THURTMEI'MINNOCENT!
OMG Archmage: ...sure you are.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Take him away!
OMG Archmage: Yes, throw real criminals in the dungeons. *chuckles*
OMG Archmage: That's why they exist.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: *bows before the King*
THENinjaRabbi: *meanwhile, two guards search Hakaril's room*
UltimateKoD: ... Guardsman, why hasn't Mr. Silvar been escorted to a cell yet?
OMG Archmage: *they're not going to find anything*
OMG Archmage: I have a better question, Charles.
THENinjaRabbi: *They're still searching*
OMG Archmage: Why are you ordering that I be escorted to a cell?
UltimateKoD: Evidence links you to the attempt on my wife's life.
OMG Archmage: You can't be serious.
OMG Archmage: Why the fuck would I want Aya dead?
UltimateKoD: I DON'T KNOW, HAKARIL.
OMG Archmage: ......
OMG Archmage: Well, neither do I.
UltimateKoD: ... all I know is that I will protect her with every resource at my command.
OMG Archmage: I support that.
OMG Archmage: And I know that throwing me in a cell does nothing to protect her.
UltimateKoD: I don't know that for sure.
OMG Archmage: I do.
UltimateKoD: ... well, until this is cleared up, I cannot trust you anymore.
OMG Archmage: So it's that simple, is it?
UltimateKoD: It is.
OMG Archmage: What "evidence" do you have?
UltimateKoD: That doesn't concern you.
OMG Archmage: That's not good enough.
OMG Archmage: It definitely concerns me.
UltimateKoD: Well, it will have to do for now, Hakaril.
OMG Archmage: I don't think it will, Charles.
UltimateKoD: ... for once, just do as I ask. Please?
OMG Archmage: I'm sorry. *shrugs* But I can't do that.
UltimateKoD: ... then you leave me no choice. GUARDS!
THENinjaRabbi: *The guards surround Hak*
OMG Archmage: ...*stands, staring the king in the eye*
UltimateKoD: Escort Mr. Silvar to one of the magic free cells.
OMG Archmage: I'm not going anywhere.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Resistence of a direct order is treason!
OMG Archmage: I'm an innocent man.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Then why are you so against being held?
OMG Archmage: Accusing me of crimes I haven't committed...*shakes his head*
OMG Archmage: Would you like to sit in a cell for days, uncertain of your fate?
OMG Archmage: Would you want to be accused without even being told why?
THENinjaRabbi: G2: If I was innocent, I would have faith that I would be redeemed!
UltimateKoD: Gentlemen, less talk, more subduing.
OMG Archmage: *chuckles*
OMG Archmage: Charles, tell them to go away.
THENinjaRabbi: *They close in on Hak, and one produces handcuffs*
OMG Archmage: *muttering quietly*
OMG Archmage: NO!
THENinjaRabbi: *They cuff him*
UltimateKoD: *says nothing*
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Come with us.
OMG Archmage: I'm not going to do that, gentlemen.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: These handcuffs were made especially for mages.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Unless you are strong enough to break them, you're not going anywhere.
OMG Archmage: (You do realize that you interrupted what I was going to do just because you managed to type it out before I got my sheet pulled up.)
THENinjaRabbi: (...oh.)
THENinjaRabbi: (Ignore everything I just typed.)
OMG Archmage: FLASH OF BRILLIANCE!
THENinjaRabbi: (lemme just read it real quick. ^^)
dragonclawsedw: (*eats popcorn*)
THENinjaRabbi: (Roll a d6.)
*OnlineHost*: OMG Archmage rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
THENinjaRabbi: (We're going to use Philsys lite.)
*OnlineHost*: THENinjaRabbi rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 1 6 5 4
THENinjaRabbi: *Two of the guards flinch, and shield their eyes, stunned*
OMG Archmage: *fucking hauls ass*
THENinjaRabbi: G1: SEAL THE CASTLE!
UltimateKoD: AFTER HIM!
THENinjaRabbi: *the alarms are sounded*
OMG Archmage: *as soon as he gets out into the hallway, throws up a planar barrier to block the door*
*OnlineHost*: OMG Archmage rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
THENinjaRabbi: *And guards pour out, covering every exit*
OMG Archmage: *heads for his office*
UltimateKoD: ... for Ashura's sake, does he have to turn everything into an excuse for an uprising? e_e
THENinjaRabbi: *there are four guards waiting in his office*
OMG Archmage: Hi, guys.
THENinjaRabbi: *they were searching through it*
THENinjaRabbi: G3: Stay away! You are supposed to be confined!
OMG Archmage: Who says?
THENinjaRabbi: *They begin to surround him*
dragonclawsedw: *pushes around guards and heads for the throne room* Charles!
OMG Archmage: *sighs* FLASH OF BRILLIANCE!
*OnlineHost*: OMG Archmage rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
*OnlineHost*: THENinjaRabbi rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 1 6 4
THENinjaRabbi: *Only one flinches, the rest tackle him*
*OnlineHost*: THENinjaRabbi rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
OMG Archmage: *is not going to go down without a fight--is punching, kicking, and biting*
*OnlineHost*: OMG Archmage rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
THENinjaRabbi: *One is knocked off*
*OnlineHost*: THENinjaRabbi rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
dragonclawsedw: (HE BITES! I KNEW HE WAS A RABBIT!)
UltimateKoD: (Hak sorta fights like a woman... >.>)
*OnlineHost*: OMG Archmage rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
dragonclawsedw: *rushes into the throne room* What's going on?!
THENinjaRabbi: *The second holds him down, and the third produces handcuffs, and quickly cuffs him*
OMG Archmage: ...grrr...
UltimateKoD: Hakaril is making his life more difficult.
THENinjaRabbi: G3: *panting*
OMG Archmage: ASTRAL THROW! *the window flings itself open*
OMG Archmage: PRISMAT, GET YOUR ASS UP HERE NOW!
THENinjaRabbi: (The cuffs were made to inhibit magic, most likely.)
OMG Archmage: (Oh give me a break.)
THENinjaRabbi: (I'll let the throw go.)
OMG Archmage: (That's all I need.)
THENinjaRabbi: (Where is Prismat?)
dragonclawsedw: What? What's wrong with Hakaril, Charles?
OMG Archmage: (He's going to be busting down the outer wall to Hak's office here in less than a second)
THENinjaRabbi: (Where was he BEFORE?)
OMG Archmage: (Outside. He lives on the grounds.)
THENinjaRabbi: (*nod*)
UltimateKoD: ... he might be connected to last night's... happenings.
THENinjaRabbi: *Prismat does indeed bust through the wall*
OMG Archmage: Prismat, get them off me!
THENinjaRabbi: *However, roughly 10 archers are hurling arrows at it*
OMG Archmage: (...that's a little contrived.)
THENinjaRabbi: (The alarm WAS sounded. o_o)
THENinjaRabbi: (There has to be several guards out there.)
OMG Archmage: (And the archers are where exactly?)
THENinjaRabbi: (Around the castle walls. It IS red alert security.)
THENinjaRabbi: Guards: HOLY FUCK!
UltimateKoD: (brb benkui)
OMG Archmage: (...how are they going to hit it if it's halfway inside Hak's office, and the building wall is probably collapsing?)
THENinjaRabbi: (Doesn't stop them from TRYING.)
OMG Archmage: (Well, yeah.)
OMG Archmage: GET THEM OFF ME NOW!
THENinjaRabbi: *Prismat does a nice job of scaring off the guards*
OMG Archmage: *the dragon squeezes his way into the office, making a real mess of the architecture, and Hakaril climbs up onto his back*
OMG Archmage: Now...get us far, far away from here while I figure out what do to.
OMG Archmage: *to do
THENinjaRabbi: *By this time, Doma's full guard support is slowly getting into place*
THENinjaRabbi: *And with Hak's handcuffs, he cannot use magic*
OMG Archmage: *spurs the dragon to fly the hell away*
OMG Archmage: (Which direction is he cuffed from?)
THENinjaRabbi: (front.)
THENinjaRabbi: *As soon as the dragon escapes, arrows of all shapes and sizes fly at it, spells, more arrows...*
OMG Archmage: ...I'm sorry about this, Prismat...
*OnlineHost*: THENinjaRabbi rolled 10 6-sided dice: 6 3 2 2 4 6 2 6 3 5
UltimateKoD: (back)
THENinjaRabbi: *Several arrows and spells smack into Prismat*
dragonclawsedw: (;_; Poor dragon)
dragonclawsedw: What are you talking about?! Hakaril would never try to kill ME!
THENinjaRabbi: *The assault continues, intent on taking the dragon down*
UltimateKoD: ... I certainly hope you're right.
OMG Archmage: (Dragons can move pretty fast, but either way, it's technically your call how far he can get from the castle and whatnot.)
UltimateKoD: Because right now, he's digging his own grave.
THENinjaRabbi: (He was wounded...I'm saying pretty badly. He ain't getting too far.)
OMG Archmage: (Very well.)
THENinjaRabbi: G1: Sir, we have to stop him.
dragonclawsedw: WHAT?! What did you try to DO to him!
UltimateKoD: Take him to a cell. That's all.
OMG Archmage: *Hakaril, noting the damage done to Prismat, makes an attempt to land him as far away from the castle and inner city as possible...*
UltimateKoD: But you know him. He couldn't wait to defy me.
dragonclawsedw: That's not right...this can't be right, why did you tell him THAT?
dragonclawsedw: Of course he'd go nuts! What's wrong with you Charles!?
UltimateKoD: I am doing what I'm doing to keep you safe. That is number one on my list.
THENinjaRabbi: *Hak manages to take him just outside the city*
OMG Archmage: *gets off the dragon and checks to see how badly wounded he is*
THENinjaRabbi: *Chocobo-mounted guards were chasing Prismat, and soon will be to him*
THENinjaRabbi: *Prismat is pretty seriously wounded. He took a lot.*
OMG Archmage: ...Prismat, I'm sorry.
OMG Archmage: ...if they follow me...hold them off. Please.
OMG Archmage: You're a real friend...maybe the only one I've got left.
OMG Archmage: *takes off running, hoping to find cover somewhere in the woods to the north...*
THENinjaRabbi: *Behind him, Hak can hear sounds of a fight*
OMG Archmage: IM: This is ridiculous.
THENinjaRabbi: *As the guards begin to attack Prismat*
OMG Archmage: IM: ...>_< Prismat...
dragonclawsedw: I can't believe this...
UltimateKoD: ... why couldn't he just do as ordered? For ONCE in his hardheaded life!
OMG Archmage: (Prismat is going to be breathing like a madman at this point.)
THENinjaRabbi: *He hears more guards coming after him*
UltimateKoD: I can't even guarantee his safety now!
THENinjaRabbi: *The scene behind him is serious. And there's no WAY the castle is going to keep this covered up.*
OMG Archmage: *is running as fast as he possibly can and looking for someplace he can hide*
THENinjaRabbi: *He's almost to the forest, but he can hear he's being pursued*
OMG Archmage: IM: They're close, too close...there has to be something, a ravine, an outcropping, some dense brush...
THENinjaRabbi: G2: HALT!
OMG Archmage: IM: It's worth getting a few thorns in my ass to avoid getting lances shoved there instead...
OMG Archmage: OVER MY DEAD BODY! *calling back over his shoulder*
THENinjaRabbi: *There's a small brush nearby, but it's not a good hiding place.*
dragonclawsedw: *shudders and looks to the window*
THENinjaRabbi: *He knows he can't outrun the guards*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Please Hakaril, don't do anything stupid...
dragonclawsedw: (You can blame Pervy for that >:{)
THENinjaRabbi: (yes. XD)
OMG Archmage: *ditches his hat off in the opposite direction with a qucik thrust of the head...*
THENinjaRabbi: G2: *is almost to arm's distance*
OMG Archmage: *and dives into the brush, scurrying as quickly as possible in hopes of losing his pursuers*
THENinjaRabbi: (The guards are also mounted.)
THENinjaRabbi: G2: We see you in there!
OMG Archmage: (doesn't mean they can't be lost in the proper sort of thicket)
THENinjaRabbi: (True.)
OMG Archmage: IM: I don't care if you see me or not, I'm a doomed man, and doomed men do crazy things.
THENinjaRabbi: *one of the guards moves to the other side*
OMG Archmage: *looks for another exit*
THENinjaRabbi: *He's effectively trapped*
THENinjaRabbi: G2: Well, it's come down to this. Go with us, or suffer.
OMG Archmage: Psh.
OMG Archmage: They're the same choice.
OMG Archmage: You pretend to give me options, but I know better.
THENinjaRabbi: G4: Well, then. Let us end it.
OMG Archmage: *stands tall*
OMG Archmage: You're disgusting.
THENinjaRabbi: G2: You're dead.
OMG Archmage: I hope my death teaches you something.
OMG Archmage: A man who cannot think for himself is no better than an animal.
OMG Archmage: If you want to be the king's dogs, go on. Kill me.
OMG Archmage: Because it's the only way you're taking me back.
THENinjaRabbi: G2: Oh, we are not the KING's dogs...
THENinjaRabbi: G4: But that's not important now. *throws a spear*
THENinjaRabbi: G2: *also throws*
THENinjaRabbi: (Time skip?)
OMG Archmage: (Um...no?)
OMG Archmage: (where is Hakaril hit?)
THENinjaRabbi: (Chest.)
OMG Archmage: *squeezes his eyes shut at the impact*
THENinjaRabbi: (Easy to hit spot.)
OMG Archmage: ...what a shitty...way...to die.
OMG Archmage: *drops to his knees and coughs violently, blood staining the grass*
OMG Archmage: *tears stain the magician's eyes*
THENinjaRabbi: (Tell me when you're done. ^^)
dragonclawsedw: (And award for best death scene in an RP goes tooooo)
OMG Archmage: ......
OMG Archmage: *falls flat on his face*
OMG Archmage: IM: ...Masahiro...
OMG Archmage: IM: ...I'll finally...see you again...
dragonclawsedw: (Hakaril: Rose....bud....)
THENinjaRabbi: (XD)
OMG Archmage: IM: ...why?
dragonclawsedw: =-.-= IM: ....why.....
THENinjaRabbi: (He BETTER find a reason to say rosebud.)
UltimateKoD: (... well shasta mcnasty... I am being kicked off the net.)
THENinjaRabbi: (It's ok.)
THENinjaRabbi: (really, it's done. But can you get 5 minutes?)
dragonclawsedw: *unseen to the guards, the young reaper pulls the soul of the archmage from his body*
OMG Archmage: *and thus...the great Hakaril Silvar, Archmage, ex-General, Astralist, Planar Cartographer, Linguist, Scholar, Author, and man of many more titles unlikely to be remembered...*
OMG Archmage: *...fell in battle, betrayed by his comrades, after giving his very last to preserve his own life...*
OMG Archmage: *...may he rest so long as the gods ordain.*
THENinjaRabbi: (Well, this isn't going to be hidden from the general public.)
THENinjaRabbi: *Unfortuantely, the way in which he met his demise ensured shame upon him, and he was not buried in the Doman graveyard...instead thrown into a nameless tomb.*
THENinjaRabbi: (So...that was dramatic. o_o)
dragonclawsedw: IM: First Ara....now Hakaril.....why.....
UltimateKoD: ...
THENinjaRabbi: (I didn't even need to pull out my final piece of "evidence.")
UltimateKoD: He'll have to be replaced. Contact... Hyral.
THENinjaRabbi: G1: *Nods*
THENinjaRabbi: (So. How about we end here?)
UltimateKoD: (Works for me.)
THENinjaRabbi: </RP>
UltimateKoD has left the room.
dragonclawsedw: OKAY BOTH OF YOU IN HERE RIGHT NOW
OMG Archmage: *raises an eyebrow*
THENinjaRabbi: I'm here.
dragonclawsedw: Okay what's the deal, because right now I'm this close to deciding to just fuck the whole damn project
THENinjaRabbi: Ditto.
OMG Archmage: Why?
dragonclawsedw: The others were right, we can't do anything big here without everyone getting in your FACE about it
THENinjaRabbi: Kate, I've put so much damn work into this, it's insane.
THENinjaRabbi: I've gone over things several thousand times for plotholes.
OMG Archmage: Who what face huh?
THENinjaRabbi: I know that if Pervy found ONE, he'd ream my ass from here until China.
dragonclawsedw: You TRY to give everyone a nice big epic plot to work with, something DIFFERENT happening
dragonclawsedw: And all they wanna do is fucking poke holes in it or stop the damn plot before it ever starts!
THENinjaRabbi: Brian: I've been plotting this off and on for like 5 months.
THENinjaRabbi: Kate's been helping me for as long.
OMG Archmage: ...so why are you bitching at me about it?
THENinjaRabbi: Because I HAD to have him die in this.
OMG Archmage: Okay, that's wonderful. o_o He's dead.
OMG Archmage: He isn't to be resurrected or brought back to live by divine intervention or otherwise, though.
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah, but I told you. frankly, in the next two days, some major shit's going down.
THENinjaRabbi: ...what?
THENinjaRabbi: back up, here, WHAT?!
OMG Archmage: He's going to be forgotten in history as a nameless traitor o.o
dragonclawsedw: If that's the case, then we can't have this RP to have happened to begin with. Or something. I dunno.
OMG Archmage: I'm sorry if that screws up your RP, but I can't have my character die dramatically and then come back a week later.
OMG Archmage: Hakaril James Silvar is dead. o_o And thus, 2nd gen is more fully defined as an AU.
THENinjaRabbi: Dammit, man.
OMG Archmage: Because it has to be.
THENinjaRabbi: ....dammit, dammit, dammit.
THENinjaRabbi: He's not the traitor!
OMG Archmage: The people think he is.
THENinjaRabbi: If only you knew what I was planning...
OMG Archmage: His name might be cleared down the line, sure.
dragonclawsedw: I dunno, Adam I'm ready to say fuck it -__-
OMG Archmage: They might have his corpse exhumed and reburied more appropriately, if the government is willing to admit that they made a mistake.
dragonclawsedw: *scowls*
dragonclawsedw has left the room.
OMG Archmage: Dude, you can do the RP without Hakaril.
THENinjaRabbi: >_<
OMG Archmage: ...oooooh boy.
THENinjaRabbi: Dammit, that's not the fucking point!
THENinjaRabbi: I TOLD you to trust me on this!
OMG Archmage: I did, and I am!
THENinjaRabbi: No you don't!
OMG Archmage: Adam, Hakaril is dead.
THENinjaRabbi: If you did, you wouldn't be saying this stuff about "unnamed traitor."
THENinjaRabbi: And I have a plan! I know what I'm doing here.
OMG Archmage: That's great! I'm glad you have a plan!
THENinjaRabbi: You have no clue on what I have.
OMG Archmage: But my character is dead! o_o
THENinjaRabbi: But you have no clue!
OMG Archmage: Great. This is fucking awesome. Kate is horribly pissed at me.
THENinjaRabbi: She's pissed at me too.
OMG Archmage: I don't fucking care about anything else, you realize.
OMG Archmage: This RP doesn't mean half as much to me. Not anywhere close.
THENinjaRabbi: Listen, I did NOT put 5 months inot this to have it die horribly.
THENinjaRabbi: Before it even started.
OMG Archmage: Adapt to your roleplayers a little.
THENinjaRabbi: Kate put JUST as much into it.
OMG Archmage: *sighs* Look.
OMG Archmage: Don't tell me what you've got planned, but I can't have my character come back from the dead in any way, shape, or form, man...
THENinjaRabbi: You see, if I could tell you what I had planned...
THENinjaRabbi: Then you would change your mind.
OMG Archmage: Adam, I don't think it matters...
THENinjaRabbi: I should've just gone with the execution while he was sleeping.
OMG Archmage: ...if my character is dead, he's dead, no matter what you planned, unless a) the RP takes place in the afterlife or b) he comes back.
THENinjaRabbi: It worked for Ara.
OMG Archmage: Kate has a different set of beliefs when it comes to roleplaying.
THENinjaRabbi: It also worked for Jak.
OMG Archmage: She's really angry with me...she's not even online.
THENinjaRabbi: Do you realize I thought you'd be the most understanding of this?
THENinjaRabbi: I thought DIA would be the hardest.
OMG Archmage: What the fuck are you talking about?
THENinjaRabbi: But she didn't even question it! She just said yes!
OMG Archmage: My character is dead!
THENinjaRabbi: And he will be coming back!
OMG Archmage: I don't want him to come back now that he's gone!
OMG Archmage: It cheapens his death. *sighs*
THENinjaRabbi: He will not be Hakaril, the Traitor.
THENinjaRabbi: Cheapens his death?
THENinjaRabbi: Listen, not everything is so black and white!
OMG Archmage: OK, look.
OMG Archmage: There is a fundamental problem here.
OMG Archmage: And that problem is: does an afterlife exist in Gaera's universe, and if so, what is it?
THENinjaRabbi: See, he never WENT to the afterlife, if it does exist.
OMG Archmage: But Adam...
OMG Archmage: Look.
OMG Archmage: I'm sure you're planning something awesome.
OMG Archmage: I'm sure it's going to be completely fucking epic.
THENinjaRabbi: I'm going to call it off. If I can't convince YOU, how am I going to convince everyone ELSE?
OMG Archmage: Why would it be hard to convince other people?
OMG Archmage: Even if you call it off, my character is still dead. *laughs*
THENinjaRabbi: Because generally, people defer to you or Pervy.
OMG Archmage: Other people can do as they please o.o
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah, but seriously. I mean, he's going to be revived. He's going to have his name cleared.
OMG Archmage: But I don't want that o_o;;
THENinjaRabbi: Things are going to get completely wasted in Doma.
OMG Archmage: His name can be cleared, but I want him to stay dead. I don't believe dead people should come back...
THENinjaRabbi: WHY didn't you say this when I asked? WHY?
OMG Archmage: It makes the consequences of what has happened so much more serious, so much more dramatic, so much more real, Adam.
THENinjaRabbi: But it's the matter of WHY he comes back that makes it real
THENinjaRabbi: !
THENinjaRabbi: He was wrongfully killed. Murdered. Betrayed. All for one person.
THENinjaRabbi: He's going to be given a chance to get revenge.
OMG Archmage: *sighs*
OMG Archmage: I don't think you're going to understand this no matter how many times I explain it...
THENinjaRabbi: And if Hak has any emotions, he's going to want in.
OMG Archmage: ...I almost wish I had Priam to back me up.
THENinjaRabbi: No, I undestand.
THENinjaRabbi: I understand. But you just raped my idea up the ass.
OMG Archmage: Why can't you do it without Hakaril?
THENinjaRabbi: Because now I killed him for no reason!
OMG Archmage: Nuh uh. o.o
THENinjaRabbi: Gah, this is like two brick walls arguing.
THENinjaRabbi: Neither one of us is going to budge.
OMG Archmage: The other people in the RP can try to clear his name as his friend...
THENinjaRabbi: But I didn't WANT to permanently kill characters!
THENinjaRabbi: You KNOW I don't like doing that!
OMG Archmage: What's done is done. o_o We can't just say tonight's RP didn't happen. I like how my character's life ended.
OMG Archmage: It was oddly fitting.
THENinjaRabbi: If I had not seen this fully necessary, I wouldn't have done it!
OMG Archmage: But it's okay!
OMG Archmage: I don't mind o_O
THENinjaRabbi: But I do!
THENinjaRabbi: You should have told me before!
OMG Archmage: I'm not mad at you for killing my character, dude, it happens.
THENinjaRabbi: Now Hak's done for good, and it's my fault!
OMG Archmage: ...I figured you would have already known my stance on bringing people back from the dead.
THENinjaRabbi: I thought you had understood what I was doing, and were willing to waive it once.
OMG Archmage: No, man, I thought you just wanted to kill my character so it could be a plot device.
THENinjaRabbi: Fucking hell. Do you want me to explain the plot to you?
OMG Archmage: No, that'd kinda ruin it...
THENinjaRabbi: Why?
THENinjaRabbi: You're not going to be IN it currently.
OMG Archmage: ...'cause if my character is going to live and be in the plot then...it, well, you know...I don't want to know what's going to happen.
THENinjaRabbi: But you keep saying you want him to stay dead!
THENinjaRabbi: Make up your mind. o_O
OMG Archmage: Well, here's the thing.
OMG Archmage: You want to explain the plot to me so that I'll agree with what you planned before, right?
OMG Archmage: Which will mean that I will have to play my character in the RP.
OMG Archmage: And I'll already know what's going to happen.
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah.
THENinjaRabbi: But you won't want to do it unless I tell you.
THENinjaRabbi: Right now, we're in a catch-22.
OMG Archmage: How many other people are in this RP?
OMG Archmage: And who are they?
THENinjaRabbi: 4 people total.
THENinjaRabbi: Ara, Jak, Rai'm, and Hak.
THENinjaRabbi: Think about these people, and how they're connected.
OMG Archmage: Malachias, obviously.
THENinjaRabbi: yes...
THENinjaRabbi: Now, what did he say about them?
OMG Archmage: Hold on a sec.
THENinjaRabbi: ok.
OMG Archmage: The news of Hak's death is spreading rather quickly.
THENinjaRabbi: ...how fast?
THENinjaRabbi: And how? O_o
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah...Cha left before all this.
OMG Archmage: Okay, well...
OMG Archmage: [23:10] Kate: It's because of a certain aspect that's going to show up later in the whole saga that you're not really going to enjoy.
OMG Archmage: I really don't like the sound of that, for the record.
THENinjaRabbi: Lemme ask her what aspect she means.
THENinjaRabbi: She meant the "getting brought back to life" aspect, which you already knew about.
OMG Archmage: Oh, of cousre.
THENinjaRabbi: See, it's a catch-22.
OMG Archmage: Can't it just...not work?
THENinjaRabbi: THENinjaRabbi: I can't tell him about the plot because Hak has to be alive in it, yet he doesn't want Hak to be brought back. If I told him what the plot was, he'd agree, but...
THENinjaRabbi: What not work?
OMG Archmage: Him being revived?
THENinjaRabbi: The reviving?
OMG Archmage: Yes o_o
THENinjaRabbi: I doubt it, really, because of who's doing the reviving...
OMG Archmage: ah.
OMG Archmage: See, Kate's going nuts because people are evidently bitching.
OMG Archmage: But people complain nothing ever happens in doma.
OMG Archmage: Something just happend o_o
THENinjaRabbi: I know.
THENinjaRabbi: Listen.
OMG Archmage: I have teh typosz.
OMG Archmage: OK, I'm listening.
THENinjaRabbi: I had something to do tomorrow.
THENinjaRabbi: Rai'm is the last to go.
OMG Archmage: RPwise?
THENinjaRabbi: I was going to do a big CI for it, post it up on the boards...
THENinjaRabbi: People are going to HAVE to know. It's going to change Doma.
OMG Archmage: Of course.
OMG Archmage: That's a given.
THENinjaRabbi: Now, if you don't want Hak to be revived, is there any other option?
OMG Archmage: ...I don't know, you tell me, you wrote the plotline...
THENinjaRabbi: Can he just come back for a short time to avenge himself?
OMG Archmage: I did just consider that.
THENinjaRabbi: Maybe it can start that way, and you have the final say on whether or not he comes back permanently?
OMG Archmage: That's not in character, though.
OMG Archmage: He wouldn't go "yes, I'll come back to life for a while and then stop."
THENinjaRabbi: When people get mad, they don't act rational.
OMG Archmage: Hakaril does, to some extent. That's part of his personality--except when he REALLY snaps.
OMG Archmage: *sighs* I guess he's going to have to come back.
THENinjaRabbi: Just let him go the "short time" route.
THENinjaRabbi: If needed, I can work him into a proper rage for it.
OMG Archmage: No, no. It doesn't make sense in character.
OMG Archmage: No, no, that's alright.
OMG Archmage: No matter how mad you are...
OMG Archmage: You don't decide you want to die.
OMG Archmage: Well. You know what I mean.
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah.
THENinjaRabbi: Listen, he has to come back. He may come back kicking and screaming.
THENinjaRabbi: Frankly, his...revivor isn't going to take no for an answer.
OMG Archmage: He's not going to have any problem with being revived!
OMG Archmage: I do! *laughs*
THENinjaRabbi: ....oh.
THENinjaRabbi: Jeeze!
THENinjaRabbi: Then you're trying to force something OOC on him!
OMG Archmage: I'm actually trying to prevent you from offering him the chance to come back to life.
OMG Archmage: Which avoids the OOC situation.
OMG Archmage: But I guess that can't work within your plotline.
THENinjaRabbi: He's been chosen.
THENinjaRabbi: If it's your destiny, you can't run from it.
THENinjaRabbi: ...this reminds me of this week's Torah portion. o_o
THENinjaRabbi: Jonah was told by God to tell the people of a country they were doomed to die because of their wicked ways.
OMG Archmage: But he tried to escape.
OMG Archmage: What an idiot. You can't run from God.
THENinjaRabbi: He was scared, and thus he tried to run. However, God had a whale eat Jonah to keep him from escaping.
OMG Archmage: Yep.
THENinjaRabbi: Jonah was spit out upon the banks of the country.
THENinjaRabbi: Everything he tried to do to run from his destiny failed. He eventually fufilled it, but that's another story.
OMG Archmage: And he had to do as he was commanded.
OMG Archmage: In the end, yes.
THENinjaRabbi: So, you see, you can't run from a god.
THENinjaRabbi: especially if you're dead.
OMG Archmage: *sighs* It really doesn't make me happy...
THENinjaRabbi: Listen, just go with me, and we'll figure out what to do after the dust settles.
OMG Archmage: Psh. He'll come back and stay back, there's nothing to it.
OMG Archmage: It's not what I would have wanted.
OMG Archmage: I would have much preferred the route of Hakaril's death causing a rift between the king and queen...
THENinjaRabbi: ...oh, there's going to be a rift. >_>;;;
OMG Archmage: Which would have lead to all sorts of other problems.
THENinjaRabbi: Trust me, there's going to be a rift.
OMG Archmage: Oh, I know that, but all of these things, people distrusting the government, trying to clear his name, trying to avenge him...
OMG Archmage: ...they can happen and him stay dead. It's so much more real a consequence that way.
OMG Archmage: People have to live with the results of their actions.
THENinjaRabbi: I know what you're saying.
THENinjaRabbi: But the problem is, someone's not going to LET them get to that stage.
THENinjaRabbi: He's been preparing, and he's ready to go.
OMG Archmage: *sighs* Whatever.
THENinjaRabbi: Listen, just let him get revived...
OMG Archmage: I agree to whatever you want, just because it'll make Kate happy.
OMG Archmage: Or at least, I hope it will.
THENinjaRabbi: Ok...
THENinjaRabbi: now, go tell her. But don't word it like that. She wouldn't like it. >_>;;
