NebbieQ has entered the room.
Zero has entered the room.
OMG Priam has entered the room.
Ryuugami has entered the room.
Zero: *NICE ROOM, DUNCE.*
NebbieQ: Y'know, for some reason.
Lithaladhwen has entered the room.
Zero has left the room.
Arch mage144: Oops, the name of this chat is random numbers!
OMG Priam: Oops! =D
NebbieQ: I'd like to see Griff in this. o_o Dunno why.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *LOOK WHAT YOU DID*
Lithaladhwen: ....
Arch mage144: FUCK YOU :D
NebbieQ: *Punches Priam in the face*
OMG Priam: *punched* ow.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *I don't think it's a Griff night. ._.*
Arch mage144: OKAY SO
NebbieQ: Shini: Kay, then.
OMG Priam: Every night is Griff night.
Arch mage144: Um, who's actually RPing, raise your hand and tell me who.
Arch mage144: The character, that is.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Me!*
OMG Priam: <Anion> *raises hand*
Lithaladhwen: *Dawn*
NebbieQ: *Raises* Spob Nueva, at your service.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And! As I said! I'd like to use Tareen, but I'd happily go with someone else, as Tareen is fuckshit insane :(*
OMG Priam: (Unless someone would prefer I bring Aluino back)
Arch mage144: OK, Priam is playing a negatively charged particle, NQ is playing Spob, I don't care who Shini plays, and Ashley is playing Dawn.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Dude, Anion*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *I remember that guy*
OMG Priam: =D
TheWaiChibiAngel: *He owned Kristoph, like, thirteen times.*
OMG Priam: He hasn't been around in a while
OMG Priam: He did.
Arch mage144: Who in the name of some blasphemous holy figure is Tareen?
NebbieQ: Shapeshifter girl, who got hoisted on Neb and Spob.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Hey, they took her willingly :(*
NebbieQ: She's very...eccentric.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Very energetic girl. Shapeshifter. Active imagination.*
OMG Priam: I call her Capslock because I can never remember her name, and her speech style is very....noticeable.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And eccentric is the Nueva household's middle name :(*
Arch mage144: OKAY then.
Arch mage144: Do me a favor.
NebbieQ: It is. :(
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Hmm?*
Arch mage144: If you have a character who knows Hakaril, play him or her if at all possible instead >.>;
Zero has entered the room.
NebbieQ: The only RP experience I have with him is him and Neb fighting over a book.
Arch mage144: Then it doesn't matter who you play, but as for Shini...
Arch mage144: Play someone Hak knows and doesn't hate with a bloody passion.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *...So, not Kristoph, then.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And most likely Griff after all :(*
NebbieQ: Aw shucks, that was my suggestion.
Arch mage144: That is one of the insinuations.
Arch mage144: Yay Griff, he sets sewage on fire@!
OMG Priam: A question to shini then
OMG Priam: Kurt or Anion?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Works, I suppose, though I can't promise much, as I can't usually RP Griff well when I'm feeling under the weather. He always comes off as "Guh?"*
NebbieQ: Griff can be under the weather, as well. :(
NebbieQ: C'mon, give him a winter cold.
OMG Priam: Weather: *is over everyone! MUAHAHAHA.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Griff is never under the weather. He is HEALTH MAN*
Zero: *What about Zero? What should Zero do?*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And: Priam! Don't care :(*
OMG Priam: Anion it is, then. Because I'm lazy.
Arch mage144: OK then.
Arch mage144: Zero should play whoever he wants, preferably but not necessarily someone who would know Hakaril for the sake of ease!
Zero: *None of my characters would know Hakaril for any reason whatsoever :D*
Arch mage144: OK, then pick a character of your choice without worries!
Lithaladhwen: *already did*
Zero: *Is this a CI, or plotted, or who what?*
NebbieQ: Also, Pervy asks to lurk.
Arch mage144: CI that is going to morph into plot, I think, as I have an idea that I never got to develop fully.
SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
Zero: *Okay.*
Arch mage144: 'kay so.
Zero: *I'll be using Keir. Everyone loves him!*
Arch mage144: Temporary CI. Setting is the Doman Marketplace near a large number of fruit vendors and magazine salesmen. No one is entirely sure why they decided to set up booths adjacent to one another, but they did.
Arch mage144: In case you were wondering, only a small number of the magazine salesmen sell magazines about produce.
Arch mage144: Any questions or objections?
Zero: (What of produce that is wrapped in magazines for shipping?)
NebbieQ: Is there a subscription available?
Arch mage144: To what?
Zero: (Any dirty mags?)
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
NebbieQ: (The magazines, of course!)
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
Arch mage144: (Anyway!)
Arch mage144: <RP!>
OMG Priam: (tjord!)
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (cheese fries! )
Ryuugami: (mmmm)
Arch mage144: *Today the setting in the Doman Marketplace seems at first to be nothing out of the ordinary, and for all intents and purposes, nothing is out of the ordinary.*
KnightsofSquare: (...wow. This is the first time I've seen someone actually use a default chat name =o.o= )
Arch mage144: (It was a mistake.)
Zero: (Same here.)
Ryuugami: (wait, Lithawallyloo, aren't you Ashley? Why don't I have you on my buddy list?)
Lithaladhwen: (... That's me. I don't know. )
Ryuugami: (:()
Arch mage144: *Among the various shoppers today, one might happen to notice a particularly striking and identifiable blue-haired man in black robes with reddish trim and a very stylish hat with a protruding feather*
OMG Priam: (mind if Anion is tagging along with his liege?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Style? Who needs style?*
Arch mage144: *However, in the event that passers-by neither know nor recognize him, there're plenty of other things to catch the eye of a shopper...*
Arch mage144: (Not at all)
OMG Priam: *Anion does, in that case, happen to be following a few steps behind the Red-hatted one*
Zero: *At the magazine stand is Keir, perusing his contents. Those unfamiliar with Keir will note the fellow as being aged about 35; wearing white shirt, black pants, green vest, and a long grey coat over it all.*
NebbieQ: *And among these shoppers is another mage, albeit much less famous. It is none other than Spob Nueva, white mage neko/usagijin hybrid extraordinaire.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *When you're Griff, you can just be big!*
NebbieQ: *In his black furred hands is a basket, holding various fruits and other goods.*
Arch mage144: Anion.
OMG Priam: Sir?
Zero: *Catching the eye most would be a pocket watch, worn fancily. How shiny!*
Arch mage144: I have a question.
OMG Priam: *gestures as if to say "Go ahead with it"*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *In fact, Griff is probably pretty eye catching, what with being almost 7 feet tall, and having a red trenchcoat. Not to mention that stunning blonde hair. And the claw! Can't forget that claw on his right hand*
NebbieQ: IM: Let's see...I've got the apples...the carrots were picked up earlier...
Arch mage144: Why exactly did you ask to come with me when all I'm doing is attempting to pick up some groceries?
OMG Priam: Some of the most wondrous things in this world can be found in the most seemingly mundane of places. We are surrounded by miracles from the instant of our birth.
Arch mage144: Profound.
OMG Priam: That, and I have grown tired of research for a time.
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: So far, so good. No guards acting up. No theives acting up. It's an easy day.
NebbieQ: *Notes Griff as he's walking along, and stops for a bit.* Hey there.
Arch mage144: Do you think it counts as a miracle when a wizard is attempting to cast a spell and misplaces a decimal point, resulting in his closet being filled with rotting pineapples?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hm? Oh. 'Lo, Spob.
Zero: *Closes a magazine and sets it back on the rack.* IM: They included it. This is deserving of a celebration.
OMG Priam: Indeed. It is a miracle that such a spell can possibly exist. It is a sad day when people think of such things and fail to realize just what a blessing it is, how much work has gone into the pursuit of such possibilities.
Arch mage144: You're right!
Arch mage144: Now all I have to do is convince Vixxy that the sickly-sweet odor of decaying tropical fruit is a miracle instead of a fuck-up.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Glances at Spob! Is he carrying swag? :O*
NebbieQ: *If a basket of foodstuff counts as swag, yes.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Ah, yes. Missed that.)
OMG Priam: Knowing her, you may be able to use the pineapples in your personal activities.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Shopping?
OMG Priam: ....wait, decaying?
Arch mage144: ...I...er...ow.
Arch mage144: Yes, they're a bit soft anyway.
OMG Priam: No no. I meant, the juice.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Figured Neb would be doing that, honestly. >_>;
Arch mage144: Oh. You mean, to drink?
OMG Priam: Or whatever one might do with it.
NebbieQ: It was my turn. We had a trade off.
Arch mage144: Maybe some of them are salvageable.
NebbieQ: She deals with the kid today, and I deal with the food.
Arch mage144: Worse things have happened, I suppose.
OMG Priam: I may be able to assist with that when we return to the castle.
Arch mage144: I did tell you about the accidental animation of the Gunnir Castle basement, did I not?
OMG Priam: The entire basement?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Ah.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Wait, kid?
Arch mage144: No, unfortunately.
Zero: *Glances around.* IM: Strange; is that Griff?
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Arch mage144: As a clever prank, a very mischevious wizard thought it would be entertaining to attempt to animate the entire Gunnir Castle.
OMG Priam: *deftly snatches an apple from a stand...the shopkeeper pays little attention*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Thinks*
Arch mage144: He, er, screwed up.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Ah, right, right. I took a look at the paperwork for that awhile back.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Dunno what's with you people, just taking in random kids. >_>
OMG Priam: *Griff may notice anion's apple-stealing ways, though!*
Arch mage144: The resulting collapse of excessive magical energy left his body in no condition to fill a thimble.
Arch mage144: That, and the entire graduating class was turned into rabbits.
TheWaiChibiAngel: First Karin, then Enlil, now you. It's weird.
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 12-sided die: 10
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Nope!*
NebbieQ: Hey, I have an excuse.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Excuse?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Too caught up with Spob :(*
OMG Priam: Rabbits? How ironic.
Arch mage144: He did partially animate the basement, however, and it seems to have gained a bit of bizarre sentience.
NebbieQ: I was one of those random kids, back in the day.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Besides, it's an apple.*
Arch mage144: It tried to eat me once.
OMG Priam: I imagine that was harrowing.
Arch mage144: And it swallowed a harlequin romance novel I checked out from the school library.
Arch mage144: I had to pay an awfully high fee.
Zero: *Griff may note a low whistle.* Griff?
Arch mage144: Hey, isn't that Griff over there?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Nods* I guess that makes sense. Trying to give them everything you nev- Huh? <_<
OMG Priam: I would expect no less, really. A book with so many pages as those must be expensive.
Arch mage144: Griff!
OMG Priam: >_>
Zero: (Griff: *Looks in two directions at once!*)
NebbieQ: *Looks over* Friends?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Looks to Kier, then at Hak*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....Yeah. I'm just damned popular today, I guess.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hak! *Gives a wave*
Arch mage144: *the scene becomes about three-hundred times more chaotic as a man with spiky red hair, clothed in a trenchcoat, and with mechanic's goggles shoved up onto his forehead comes barrelling through the crowd*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Popular place to be today.
Arch mage144: *he more or less tackles Griff, completely by accident, as a result of tripping over a box of pears*
NebbieQ: (Random Man: Yaaah! e_e *Tackles, bounces off* )
Arch mage144: I'm just...CHANDLER!?
Zero: Amusing.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Taken by surprise, Griff actually almost falls over!*
NebbieQ: IM: What the hell?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...What the fuck was that?! o_O
OMG Priam: *quirks an eyebrow*
NebbieQ: Random fruit related accident.
Arch mage144: *wildly attempting to assume some sort of composure, the man starts spinning around in a panic, trying to distinguish friend from foe and failing miserably*
Lithaladhwen: *Nearby, a young woman stands eating an apple, watching the general chaos occurring in the crowd. She has green eyes and hair dyed green to match.*
NebbieQ: ...hey, are you alright?
Arch mage144: ........
Arch mage144: NO!
Arch mage144: SOMEONE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Kill you?
Arch mage144: Again?
NebbieQ: IM: Again?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Calm down, calm down. I'm in the guard. Just tell me what's up. >_>
Arch mage144: Well!
Arch mage144: You're guard!?
Arch mage144: Oh, good!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Yep.
Zero: IM: A murder plot in broad daylight? How very interesting.
Arch mage144: I was going to go to the castle, but you see, I had to cut through the market, and I was stopped by a man who was trying to sell me fish, and I panicked.
Arch mage144: I clobbered him with a very large trout.
Zero: *Makes his way closer to the conversation.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
NebbieQ: *Watches the man intently, waiting for his storry to finish*
TheWaiChibiAngel: You what?
Arch mage144: ...I won't get arrested for that, will I!?
Arch mage144: I was in a hurry!
OMG Priam: .....
Arch mage144: I thought he was trying to kill me, too!
Lithaladhwen: *Is now listening with some degree of interest.*
Arch mage144: As soon as he saw me, he shoved a swordfish in my face and shouted, "FRESH FISH! WE CATCH EM, YOU BUY EM!"
NebbieQ: And why did you think he was trying to do that? >_>
NebbieQ: ...ah.
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
Arch mage144: ...this is growing infinitely more ridiculous at a very rapid pace.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....
Zero: Are you new to the urban areas of Doma, fellow?
Arch mage144: I live here!
Arch mage144: Sometimes.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...He...
OMG Priam: *ready stance, on guard and waiting in case Hakaril should issue some sort of command*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Tried to sell you a swordfish.
Arch mage144: How was I supposed to know he wasn't trying to impale me with a swordfish!?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....So you hit him with a trout.
Lithaladhwen: IM: For someone who 'lives here' he sure seems terrified of everything.
Arch mage144: Well yes.
Arch mage144: It seemed like the rational thing to do.
Arch mage144: ...at the time.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Most people would have more sense than to try to impale someone with a swordfish.
Arch mage144: Look, this isn't about the fishmonger!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...C'mon, let's go get this sorted out. -_-;
Arch mage144: It's about the guy who tried to shoot me in the head!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Then what is it?
OMG Priam: *w2Hak* I recommend we get this man away from the large public immediately.
Zero: Griff; perhaps this is the sort of person you should lock up for his own safety?
NebbieQ: ...I assume someone else tried to-ah.
Arch mage144: *w2An* No, this is normal.
OMG Priam: *nods*
Arch mage144: *w2An* He's been drinking too much Volt Cola again.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Holds a finger up to Keir*
Arch mage144: You can't lock me up! I won't let you!
Zero: *Which finger? It's hard to guess with Griff.*
Arch mage144: Lock up the person shooting at me instead!
NebbieQ: Calm down, calm down.
Arch mage144: CALM DOWN!?
NebbieQ: We can't lock him up til we know more about him.
Arch mage144: Well, I barely know anything about him myself!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Forefinger*(
NebbieQ: ...what about what happened?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Look! Calm down and tell me what happened, so I can sort this out!
Arch mage144: I almost lost an ear! *points to a nick across his upper temple*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Spob, can you take care of that, please, so that he has one less thing to freak out over?
Arch mage144: I was at my workbench, trying to sketch out some plans for a new design, and suddenly, a shot rang out!
Arch mage144: Everything went dark!
NebbieQ: *nods* I'm on it.
Arch mage144: I think this may have been because I closed my eyes.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Brilliant.
NebbieQ: *Concentrates for a moment, to hear the relatively minor wound.*
NebbieQ: (What shall I roll, Ducky?)
Arch mage144: In any case, the bullet collided with the mirror across the room and broke it into a fairly large number of shards.
Arch mage144: (3d6.)
OnlineHost: NebbieQ rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 6 2
Arch mage144: (Note to all, if you're going to roll anything, roll 3d6.)
OMG Priam: (So be it.)
Arch mage144: *the relatively minor nick heals up without much trouble*
Arch mage144: (Think improvised GURPS.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Right! You're gonna have to tell me success/fails and the like,t hough. :( )
TheWaiChibiAngel: *raises a brow*
Arch mage144: (I will.) Anyway, I caught him in the mirror.
Arch mage144: Just a flash of him. Or her. Person, anyway.
TheWaiChibiAngel: What'd he look like?
Arch mage144: Whirled around and tried to shoot back, but they were already gone, I think.
Arch mage144: Well...
Arch mage144: ...blue hair...pretty long...wore black...
Arch mage144: ...GENERAL SILVAR!?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
NebbieQ: ...
Arch mage144: WHAT!?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Calm down! Calm down!
Arch mage144: I did NOT try to shoot you!
OMG Priam: *steps forward*
NebbieQ: IM: I swear, if it's that psychotic mercenary...
Ryuugami: (fuck you, GAIM)
Ryuugami: (and your fucking "message is too long" bullshit, too :()
Zero has left the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I know at least three people who wear black and use guns.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Blue hair isn't much of an indication, either. COuld be an illusion, could be you saw it wrong...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Besides, blue hair ain't all that rare in this city. >_>
NebbieQ: (Now plain, ordinary brown, on the other hand...)
Arch mage144: Alright, chill out.
Arch mage144: Someone with blue hair, and that person was not me, tried to shoot you.
Arch mage144: When did this happen?
OMG Priam: *staring Chandler down, eye to eye, giving that "Don't do anything stupid" look*
Arch mage144: *glances at his wristwatch*
Arch mage144: Uh, maybe thirty minutes ago.
Arch mage144: OK. Anion, where was I thirty minutes ago?
OMG Priam: We exited the palace gates twenty nine minutes and forty two seconds ago.
Arch mage144: ...damn, man, you're as handy as Darin.
Arch mage144: Do you want to be my alarm clock?
OMG Priam: If you choose.
Arch mage144: ...no, I'm not going to make you do that, you're not my servant. o_O;
Zero has entered the room.
NebbieQ: (Pause for a moment? Zero needs to get caught up.)
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
Zero: (Sorry guys. This anti-spyware crap my dad forced on my computer turns my computer off randomly when it thinks I'm in danger of COmmunism!)
Lithaladhwen: (dirty commies)
Zero: (Kay.)
Arch mage144: (Anyway, caught up at all?)
SongstressEnlil: (Rrrrr! Supper devouring is done! Mind another joiner?)
Arch mage144: (This is going to eventually become too much for me to handle if it develops into a semblance of plot, but if you want to join and we just keep things very loose...it might work)
Zero: IM: What an odd story. The reaction to the gunshot; of looking into the mirror before it's breaking...
OMG Priam: (Perhaps Jackie Joiner-Kersee?)
Arch mage144: OK, so. The point is that I couldn't have shot you.
Arch mage144: And you saw the assailant in the fragments of the mirror. And he had blue hair and a black outfit.
Arch mage144: Who are the usual suspects, gentlemen?
SongstressEnlil: (Hmmm. Someone who isn't too much.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hmmm....
OMG Priam: I have seen a Drow about the city by roughly that description.
Arch mage144: *looks around in a slightly unnerved manner, as though he might suddenly leap out of his pants in fear that someone's going to take a potshot at him again*
TheWaiChibiAngel: I know three gunman who wear black, but none have blue hair.
TheWaiChibiAngel: One's also blind.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ANother's a garoujin.
Arch mage144: ...a blind gunman.
OMG Priam: I would say the Drow also did not have blue hair so much as white.
NebbieQ: She wasn't always blind. >_>;
TheWaiChibiAngel: She was a gunman before she went blind. >_>
Arch mage144: I think that might be the most utterly ridiculous proposition I've ever heard...oh.
Ryuugami: ("So I hit him with a trout!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Now she just sits around the house and takes care of her kid.
Arch mage144: That makes marginally more sense.
Arch mage144: Ah.
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is insane.
Zero: I've heard of a blue haired gunman. A hitman, if I recall.
Arch mage144: Uh huh. Keep going.
Zero: Do you happen to have any enemies?
Arch mage144: What do you mean, "do I have any enemies?"
OMG Priam: *stance relaxes*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...You know what?
NebbieQ: *nods* I think I know who Keir is talking about. <_<
Arch mage144: Of course I have enemies!
TheWaiChibiAngel: I didn't even think of Kamos. o_O
Lithaladhwen: IM: Besides the people he pummels with fish?
Arch mage144: Everyone's out to get me!
Arch mage144: Especially the people who want to steal my inventions!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Probably because I figured he'd have shouted something stupid before firing.
NebbieQ: So, this isn't like him?
Arch mage144: I usually don't leave my basement unless I have to.
Arch mage144: You think Kamos tried to murder him o_O?
Arch mage144: ...why? What's his motive?
Zero: It's possible. I hear he's been hard-up for cash.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Doub tit
Arch mage144: Who would hire Kamos?
TheWaiChibiAngel: No one.
TheWaiChibiAngel: That's why I doubt it.
Arch mage144: Game, set, match.
TheWaiChibiAngel: He'd also probably talk about it for a week before hand.
Zero: A rival inventor could; to try and steal plans or something.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Even his tartget would know he's coming. >_>
Arch mage144: I don't think you get it.
SongstressEnlil: *And walking about the marketplace today is a large, powerfully built blonde man. He clearly has the look of a warrior about him, despite his plain clothing and lack of a weapon. Instead...he has wire-rimmed spectacles and a cane.*
Zero: But, from what I hear, Kamos'd be the worst sort for a job such as that.
Arch mage144: He wouldn't hire Kamos.
Arch mage144: Yeah.
NebbieQ: ...hmn.
Lithaladhwen: IM: An unfortunate tendency.
NebbieQ: *Appears to be pondering over stuff.*
Arch mage144: Haven't I met him before?
Zero: But then again, the hitman did miss. So....~
SongstressEnlil: *He does seem to be sorta passing by, sorta watching the crowd*
NebbieQ: Maybe he just tried tos care him?
Arch mage144: So let's find Kamos and interrogate him!
SongstressEnlil: IM: My word. Is that General Silvar?
Arch mage144: Except that that's probably not going to be worthwhile, as it's probably not him.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Probably not.
SongstressEnlil: *Yeah, the guy is rubbernecking and by the way he leans on that cane, he needs it.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Like I said, if it was him, we'd know.
Arch mage144: Okay then.
NebbieQ: Well, I meant in general.
OMG Priam: .....
Arch mage144: Not Kamos.
NebbieQ: The shooter could be trying to send a "message", so to speak.
NebbieQ: Whoever it was.
Arch mage144: A message?
TheWaiChibiAngel: No, Kamos wouldn't send messages.
Lithaladhwen has left the room.
OMG Priam: Possibly a letter was affixed to the projectile.
NebbieQ: Like I said, in general. In case it wasn't him.
TheWaiChibiAngel: He'd try to shoot the guy.
Arch mage144: ...a letter was not affixed to the projectile. I would've noticed!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...A letter on a bullet? o_O
NebbieQ: You know, spook him?
Zero: >_>
OMG Priam: Stranger things have occurred.
Lithaladhwen has entered the room.
OMG Priam: Chandler.
Ryuugami: (wb)
Arch mage144: Yeah?
NebbieQ: Chandler?
OMG Priam: Can you take me to the spot where you saw the shooter standing?
SongstressEnlil: IM: Someone tried to shoot someone?
NebbieQ: (Wait, scratch that.)
SongstressEnlil: I say. Do you know what sort of bullet it was?
TheWaiChibiAngel: >_>
Arch mage144: Uh, sure, I can take you there.
Arch mage144: !
TheWaiChibiAngel: That's a good question. We can find out when we get there.
Arch mage144: *whirls around to face [Pervy's character]*
SongstressEnlil: A musket ball and a valthi round are different, you know.
NebbieQ: *Looks over*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...By the way, who are you, and why are you listening in on us? o_o
Arch mage144: No, I haven't done analysis on it or even looked it over, because I wanted to get away from places where people were shooting at me!
Zero: <_< IM: Huh. I don't particularly feel like getting too involved in this, but things could get even more interesting.
SongstressEnlil: *Sorta grins nerviously at the group* Well, I saw that the general was here, and got a bit curious
Arch mage144: Alright, uh, who're you again, person who's with the General?
Arch mage144: I do tend to attract attention.
SongstressEnlil: Name's Allen Grenson. I run a shop a few blocks over.
OMG Priam: My name is Anion Duprei, in service of General Hakaril.
Arch mage144: *adjusts his hat and flips his hair bishounenly*
OMG Priam: *General Silvar
NebbieQ: Hey, I think I remember you, now.
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
NebbieQ: Spob Nueva, here.
Arch mage144: So you're a shopkeeper.
Arch mage144: What do you sell?
SongstressEnlil: Mostly historical relics, but lately I've expanded into books.
Arch mage144: Ah, I might have to take a look at your wares later!
Arch mage144: But first. To the scene of the crime!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
OMG Priam: Indeed.
OMG Priam: After you. *to Chandler*
NebbieQ: Well, er, let's go then.
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: Hak still needs to get over himself. 9_9
Arch mage144: ...I suppose it won't look weird if we drag along an entire group, seeing as how Griff is Royal Guard, Spob is Spob, Anion insists on following me around, and you're an old guy.
Zero: IM: Books? I must remember to stop by some time.
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is certainly more interesting than anything else going on. Maybe I'll head in whatever direction they seem to be taking.
Arch mage144: Let's go!
Lithaladhwen: IM: Too many people for the moment, however.
SongstressEnlil: I suppose I could lend a hand.
OMG Priam: Actually, it is better that we have at least six.
SongstressEnlil: I've done some investigative work before. Mostly piecing together things in ruins, and such.
Arch mage144: *Chandler leads the procession along a good way--the walk takes about 20 minutes, and places the group near his Doman workshop*
OMG Priam: Three to go down to the area where Chandler was struck, and three to travel up to the ledge where the shooter stood.
NebbieQ: *Just follows along, trying to take the situation in*
NebbieQ: *nods* Doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Arch mage144: This is my home, effectively. *points to a relatively run-down house that's really more of a warehouse than someone's home, at least from the outside--it even has barn-style double doors*
Lithaladhwen: *finishes her apple, and then follows at a rather long distance*
SongstressEnlil: *Follows along, figuring out who shot what and suchforth.*
Zero: *Swaggers along at the back of the line.*
Arch mage144: At least, when I'm in Doma.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm going to be checking out the scene. >_>
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Begins that way* It locked?
NebbieQ: (brb, dad needs me)
OMG Priam: All right. Allan, was it? Please do your investigations on the bullet type.
Arch mage144: *he opens the front doors, revealing a large room filled with wooden and metal tables and covered in glassware, tubing, blueprints, and soda cans*
SongstressEnlil: *Nods* Just show me where it was.
Arch mage144: *the floors are wooden planks, somewhat dusty despite the fact that someone apparently lives here--it seems Chandler does minimal cleaning*
SongstressEnlil: IM: Looks like my place, kinda.
Arch mage144: *the back end of the room is full of strange-looking mechanical parts and tools, and against the back wall is a broken mirror--some of the shards still hang in the case, but most of the mirror is on the floor*
Arch mage144: I was sitting there. *points to a swivel chair*
SongstressEnlil: *Nods*
Zero: <_< >_>
Arch mage144: That's the mirror I saw the attacker in, which means he probably fired through *points* that window.
Arch mage144: It's open, as you can see.
SongstressEnlil: Right.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Checks the mirror, then the window*
Zero: *Inspects the tubing.*
SongstressEnlil: IM: Must've been hot to open a window in winter.
OMG Priam: You, guardsman. Keep watch here, in case there should be a second attempt.
NebbieQ: (Back. Now I just need to catch up.)
Arch mage144: *the tubing is made of rubber and is presently doing nothing more interesting than, well, being tubing*
Arch mage144: ...nice lab.
Arch mage144: That is what you call this, right, even though it's not an alchemy facility?
NebbieQ: (Done.)
SongstressEnlil: *Goes to inspect the mirror, taking care not to disturb anything.*
Arch mage144: Right.
Zero: What's this tubing for? >_>
Arch mage144: *buried behind the wooden frame, or more precisely in the wall, is a metal slug*
Arch mage144: Experiments.
NebbieQ: *Looks about for any windows, in the opposit direction of where the bullet is.*
Zero: *Nods* That's all I needed to know.
SongstressEnlil: Hmmm. Mr. Chandler, do you have any clips or something I can get this bullet out with?
Arch mage144: *the window is a double-window setup that can be easily opened from the outside, but the windows are high enough off the floor that climbing in is probably not a good idea*
OMG Priam: *flicks out a stiletto* You can use this to pry it out.
Lithaladhwen: *Doesn't follow the group all the way to Chandler's, but does stop in the general area so she can be there if something outlandish happens. That seems relatvely likely at this point.*
NebbieQ: *Are they open or closed?*
Arch mage144: *the window that the shooter presumably fired from is the only open one*
SongstressEnlil: Thank you, sir. *to Anion, as he accepts the stilleto*
NebbieQ: Well, we've got a direction.
Arch mage144: Yeah, my return shot probably stuck into the wall right over there, as well.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hmm.
Arch mage144: I knew where he fired from, more or less, but I could've been off a little, since all I caught was his hair and coat collar, more or less.
SongstressEnlil: *And starts to work the bullet out gently. Perhaps too gently, it seems like he is trying to avoid all damage to it and the wall*
Arch mage144: *the bullet comes out, but to hell with preventing wall damage*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *What could be seen through the widnow?*
SongstressEnlil: Bah.
Zero: (Agh, my head is too stuffed up for RPing, methinks. I'll nudge my way out; sorry.)
Arch mage144: *outside through that window is a narrow alleyway--Chandler's workshop is jammed in between other buildings rather closely*
SongstressEnlil: *Takes it in hand, and gives it a quick look.*
Arch mage144: *this is basically Doman "industry" as far as the setup of the city layout goes*
Arch mage144: (Roll 3d6, would you?)
NebbieQ: (All, or just Pervy?)
OnlineHost: SongstressEnlil rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 3 4
OMG Priam: (or Shini?)
Arch mage144: (_Pervy)
SongstressEnlil: (DID I WIN?!)
Arch mage144: *the slug is likely of Valthi origin!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Huh.
SongstressEnlil: This looks like Valthi work.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'll be back. <_<
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Heads out, into the alley!*
OMG Priam: Guardsman.
Arch mage144: *the alley!*
OMG Priam: Are you headed to the place where the shooter stood?
SongstressEnlil: It's too tapered to be a flintlock ball.
Arch mage144: ...I think that's where he's going.
NebbieQ: *Shrugs*
Arch mage144: So you're saying it was a Valthi gun. Alright then.
OMG Priam: *follows Griff out*
NebbieQ: IM: He can take care of himself.
OMG Priam: Wait!
SongstressEnlil: Uh, anyone want this? For...well...whatever magic you might use on it?
Arch mage144: How many Valthi do we know, and furthermore, how many of them have an agenda that involves the death of inventors?
Arch mage144: What good's magic going to do? It's a bullet.
Arch mage144: If you want me analyze it with spells, it'd have to be the gall stone of a basilisk or something.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hm? <_<
NebbieQ: I'd be surprised if we knew the shooter, actually.
NebbieQ: It could be somebody a bit more subtle.
OMG Priam: Don't step into the area where the shooter was. I have something I need to do first.
TheWaiChibiAngel: What's that? <_<
OMG Priam: Divination, of a sort.
Arch mage144: But, hey. Let me see the bullet anyway.
SongstressEnlil: Sorry, I'm not much for magic.
SongstressEnlil: *Hands it over*
OMG Priam: Chandler! *shouting in from the window* About where was he? Or she? Or it?
Arch mage144: Uh...
Arch mage144: *tries to point, and winds up changing his mind and pointing at about seven different places for about a quarter second each*
Arch mage144: Right there!
OMG Priam: *nods*
OMG Priam: *goes very near to there, and begins chanting.*
Zero: <_< >_> *Makes to slip away; he doesn't need to be involved with any of this.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Just sits back, watching! What happened to my font?!*
OMG Priam: (Control-T)
Arch mage144: (3d6 me, Priamsan)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Probably.)
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 1 2
NebbieQ: (Neat.)
Arch mage144: (Holy shit, critical success)
OMG Priam: *attempts to see back in time to the shooter's visage...*
Arch mage144: *A vision begins to take form in Anion's mind*
Arch mage144: *slowly, at first, the image comes into focus...*
OMG Priam: *has a distant, vague look on his eyes...*
Arch mage144: *He views the scene from the angle facing down the alleyway from the street, and a man dressed in a black leather coat with mid-back length blue hair and a red military beret strides into the alley...*
Arch mage144: *he reaches into his backpack, withdraws a very small ladder-like device, presses a button, and extends it in order to climb up to the window...*
Arch mage144: *he climbs, and Anion's view rotates around, giving him a clear view of the shooter's face--he doesn't recognize the figure in question, but he has narrow features and maroon colored eyes*
Arch mage144: *the shooter opens the window, raises a handgun, aims it carefully at Chandler with one eye closed, and there is the sound of a shockingly loud BANG! that snaps Anion back to reality*
OMG Priam: *reels back for a second as he regains focus*
OMG Priam: ....My.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Huh?
TheWaiChibiAngel: What was it? >_>
Arch mage144: You know, I've always been impressed by firearms.
OMG Priam: You may want to reenter the building for this.
Arch mage144: *turns the flattened-out slug over in his hand*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ,,,Riiight.
SongstressEnlil: So we know we're dealing with a Valthi, or someone with a good smuggler.
NebbieQ: So, what now?
OMG Priam: *stays in the alley*
Arch mage144: It's a genius idea. A weapon any man can use with minimal training that requires very little physical strength.
OMG Priam: I have new evidence.
OMG Priam: *stating through the window*
Arch mage144: What'd you find?
OMG Priam: Everything.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Stays put, for now*
Arch mage144: ...uh?
SongstressEnlil: *Looks toward Anion*
Arch mage144: Can you provide a little more information?
OMG Priam: Easily.
Arch mage144: I prefer my breakfast not to have a side of "vague."
OMG Priam: *to griff* Don't you want to see this?
NebbieQ: *Waits for the man's answer.*
Arch mage144: What exactly are you doing, Anion?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Yeah, you're gonna show me. >_>
OMG Priam: .......
NebbieQ: I'd like to know that, as well.
SongstressEnlil: *Hobbles over a bit closer to the window*
TheWaiChibiAngel: DOn't see why I gotta be inside for it, though. e_e
Arch mage144: Griff, just fucking listen to him, would you?
Arch mage144: He's not going to blow up the lab, I'm in here.
OMG Priam: As you wish. It'll be most difficult to see through the other side of the illusion, mind.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Tch, fine.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Heads back inside!*
OMG Priam: Everyone, please watch the window.
Arch mage144: *leans on a table*
Arch mage144: *picks up an empty Volt Cola bottle idly*
SongstressEnlil: *Nods*
Arch mage144: *closes one eye and peers into the bottle*
OMG Priam: *takes his time crafting an illusion spell on the window, which is to display exactly what Anion himself just viewed, as though through some sort of television-like interface*
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 3 4
Arch mage144: *projection gets the idea across*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...o_O
Arch mage144: Hey!
Arch mage144: I, er...
SongstressEnlil: That's amazing. You saw this?
Arch mage144: I know that guy!
NebbieQ: *Watches*
NebbieQ: What?
Arch mage144: You DO!?
Arch mage144: He's you, isn't he!
NebbieQ: IM: I'll have to ask him about this later, if I see him again. o_o
Arch mage144: Does he look anything like me!?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...It's not him.
OMG Priam: *reenters after the illusion dispels*
Arch mage144: ...no!
NebbieQ: Well, who is it?
Zero has left the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Stop throwing accusations around. <_<
Arch mage144: How in the name of the Great Lord Agnostic are you a scientist!?
Arch mage144: ...are you insulting my knowledge of science!?
SongstressEnlil: IM: Name of who?
NebbieQ: *Clears throat, loudly*
Arch mage144: No, I'm suggesting you need to fucking think!
OMG Priam: Please calm yourself, General.
NebbieQ: Shoudn't we be trying to find out who did this?
Arch mage144: *adjusts his goggles and huffs*
Arch mage144: What?
Arch mage144: Oh.
SongstressEnlil: IM: If he wasn't a general...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
Arch mage144: We don't have to find out. I know.
NebbieQ: Well, tell us then.
Arch mage144: What I don't know is why, aside from the obvious.
TheWaiChibiAngel: So, who was it? >_>
Arch mage144: You remember how we were accusing Kamos?
NebbieQ: Yeah...
Arch mage144: Well.
OMG Priam: *retrieves his stiletto back from Allen*
Arch mage144: We need to move over to the next branch of the family tree.
SongstressEnlil: Do we know where he went? *more to anion than Anyone*
Arch mage144: We've got another Mazuo on our hands. Only this one's competent.
OMG Priam: I'm afraid that is all I had seen. Chandler has more information on that than I do.
SongstressEnlil: (Get those caps where they go :( )
NebbieQ: IM: ...great. As if one wasn't enough already.
Arch mage144: No I don't!
OMG Priam: .....
SongstressEnlil: Hm. I don't suppose we have anyone who knows how to track?
Arch mage144: Anyway, Chandler, you're going to tell me what you did to get someone to hire Zeke Mazuo to shoot you.
Arch mage144: I don't know!
NebbieQ: *SHakes his head* Out of my league.
Arch mage144: ...you have to have done something.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Wait.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Kamos has relatives?
SongstressEnlil: We might be able to figure out which way he went. I suppose I could try to reconstruct it.
Arch mage144: You know, I think I saw that guy the other night.
Arch mage144: At a bar.
NebbieQ: Yeah?
Arch mage144: Wait, I did! I just couldn't see very well then.
Arch mage144: So he wasn't very clear.
OMG Priam: im: You didn't happen to punch him, did you?...
Arch mage144: I think we were hitting on the same girl.
SongstressEnlil: IM: Hee hee. Sounds like a good night at the pub!
Arch mage144: ...he wouldn't try to shoot you for that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM:...Goddamnit, Kamos has relatives.
Arch mage144: Wait.
Arch mage144: Did she fuck you?
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM:...I was hoping it was just someone who couldn't see straight.
NebbieQ: ...
SongstressEnlil: >_>
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....<__<
Arch mage144: ...er, well...
NebbieQ: IM: This is inane.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....
Arch mage144: ...no.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Do we REALLY need to know?
SongstressEnlil: IM: Brash, isn't he?
Arch mage144: Okay, then he definitely had no reason to shoot you.
OMG Priam: From the sound of it, she did come home with him, though, and that may be enough.
Arch mage144: Yes, we did need to know.
NebbieQ: Well, if this Zeke is the jealous type...
Arch mage144: If you take Zeke's woman, he's going to be pissed.
SongstressEnlil: Well, it's a lead.
NebbieQ: *Shrugs*
Arch mage144: Pissed enough to put a little bit of lead in your brain.
NebbieQ: Do you happen to know where he stays? *To the good general*
Arch mage144: Hell of a way to die from heavy metal poisoning.
OMG Dirty has entered the room.
OMG Dirty: (omg?)
Arch mage144: Zeke's a bit of a wanderer. Unlike his cousin, he's actually a real mercenary.
OMG Priam: (wtf =D)
SongstressEnlil: (FYAD!)
Arch mage144: He doesn't invite himself along on missions and insist that we pay him.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...>_>
NebbieQ: *Chuckles a bit at the comment*
Arch mage144: He gives you his business card.
SongstressEnlil: Ugh, Mercs.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Right.
OMG Priam: Hm....
Arch mage144: He doesn't kill people unless he's being paid to, though.
OMG Dirty: (What's up?)
SongstressEnlil: Had more than my share of them at...eh, Im rambling, sorry.
Arch mage144: It's an assassins' code of honor thing.
Arch mage144: Killing for free is stupid.
OMG Priam: Or if they 'fuck' his woman?
Arch mage144: Um, well.
Arch mage144: I didn't actually ask him about that part.
Arch mage144: IM: I swear I can hear the quotations around "fuck."
Arch mage144: Alright, soooo...
Arch mage144: You guys are going to arrest him, right?
NebbieQ: If they can find him.
OMG Priam: Useless.
OMG Priam: It is no good capturing the pawn if the hand that moved him is still about.
Arch mage144: Fair.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Warning: I have to leave in ten minutes, for roughly half an hour)
Arch mage144: But we can interrogate him.
NebbieQ: I recommend getting this man some protection, for the time being.
Arch mage144: Yeah.
Arch mage144: Let's put him in Block H.
SongstressEnlil: Pretty sure attempted muder is illegal.
Arch mage144: That's safe, no one will try to get him there.
Arch mage144: ...Block H?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...You don't want to know.
Arch mage144: Actually, no, that's moderately inhumane.
OMG Priam: .......
Arch mage144: You trade safety for the integrity of your colon.
OMG Priam: I have a better idea.
NebbieQ: IM: You know, I've lived here for most of my life, and I still dont' know what the deal is with that jail cell.
Arch mage144: What?
SongstressEnlil: IM: Always thought that was a legend.
OMG Priam: Chandler, please stand still.
OMG Priam: This may feel a bit strange.
Arch mage144: *Chandler is obviously having trouble doing this*
OMG Priam: ......
Arch mage144: *it seems to go against the very nature of his existence*
Arch mage144: *however, he manages*
OMG Priam: *sigh* im: it will have to do....my kingdom for a sleep spell.
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 6 4
Arch mage144: (Success, whatever you're doing)
OMG Priam: *crafts an illusion centered on Chandler himself, to look very different from Chandler's normal appearance. Possibly female.*
Arch mage144: ......
SongstressEnlil: (Chandler: *Explodes* Anion: Problem soleved!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...What? >_>
SongstressEnlil: ...Oh hell, not one of those.
Arch mage144: Holy WD-40!
NebbieQ: That's...er...
NebbieQ: Effective. o_o;
SongstressEnlil: *Hand to face ACTION!*
Arch mage144: I have...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....No.
Arch mage144: ...*tentatively attempts to feel his own chest*
TheWaiChibiAngel: You won't be finishing that sentance.
NebbieQ: There are some items at my store, though, that we can use instead if you need them. >_>;
Arch mage144: *looks very disappointed when his hand goes through*
OMG Priam: *it does not feel like anything besides Chandler.*
Arch mage144: *for all of two seconds*
Arch mage144: Err, well.
Arch mage144: I guess I'm...diguised?
OMG Priam: Yes.
NebbieQ: I think a different race would work better than a different gender, myself.
Arch mage144: *Chandler is now wearing an enormous and frilly blue dress*
Arch mage144: *in addition to having long, red braids*
OMG Priam: Your voice, as you may have noticed, has been changed to suit.
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: If I had my way, that sort of crap would be illegal.
Arch mage144: IM: That is the least attractive woman I have ever seen.
Arch mage144: IM: Wait. No.
Arch mage144: IM: ...ew.
Arch mage144: ...ah, it has!
Arch mage144: I don't even sound like myself anymore!
Arch mage144: Well damn. o_o
Arch mage144: Alright, well.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I could also lock him up in a guard station. That would be pretty safe. >_>
Arch mage144: *walks outside*
OMG Priam: You can now walk among the rest of the crowd, safe in knowing that nobody who is looking for you will ever find you.
Arch mage144: ATTENTION CITIZENS OF DOMA!
OMG Priam: .........?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..NOW what?
Arch mage144: Anion, get out here!
OMG Priam: *follows*
NebbieQ: (Zeke: *notices him*...whoa. Check out the babe.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Also follows, though keeping a distance*
NebbieQ: *Looks to Hak, following*
Arch mage144: *Hakaril rapidly notices that there's basically no one in this part of town except a green-haired woman*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *He wants to see what's up, yo.*
NebbieQ: IM: What's he about to pull? >_>
Arch mage144: ...er, um, my audience is fairly nonexistent.
Arch mage144: You, ma'am!
Lithaladhwen: *arches eyebrow* Yes?
NebbieQ: *To Griff* Isn't an announcement like this a bit...redundant?
SongstressEnlil: *Hobbles out after Hakaril*
Arch mage144: Do you live around here?
Lithaladhwen: I do not.
Arch mage144: Oh.
Arch mage144: How long have you been in this part of town?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Yes.
Lithaladhwen: Not too long. I enjoy the occasional walk every now and again. *holds out mundane black walking stick* It's a nice function of being bipedal, I think.
Arch mage144: ...yes, I suppose.
Arch mage144: Care to give me a measure in hours?
NebbieQ: IM: Well, at least we have a potential witness.
Lithaladhwen: I don't know. I wasn't keeping track. Why?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: A vague guess.
Arch mage144: Anion. The illusion, if you please, of Zeke.
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 3 5
Lithaladhwen: Were you people in town a bit ago making a lot of... well, chaos?
OMG Priam: *it's blurry and has no sound, but...*
Arch mage144: Have you seen this man?
Lithaladhwen: Can't say that I recall him, no.
Arch mage144: Chaos is, unfortunately, not my middle name, but it might as well be.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Kristoph: Did someone say Chaos? < >_> >)
Arch mage144: No?
Arch mage144: Damn.
NebbieQ: What sort of chaos?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
OMG Priam: (Anion: Yes. Now come just a little bit closer.)
Arch mage144: Yeah, what the hell chaos in particular?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Chaos has nothing to do with this. >_>
TheWaiChibiAngel: If he's as good as you say, he's not going to be drawing alot of attention.
Arch mage144: Chaos has something to do with everything.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Especially if he looks like Kamos.
NebbieQ: (be right back)
SongstressEnlil: *Hobbles of toward where Zeke was, looking for clues to where he went.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hell, if I looked like Kamos, I'd hide. >_>
Lithaladhwen: Do I need to know who this 'Kamos' is?
OMG Priam: >_>
OMG Priam: im: judging from the sound of things, nobody needs to know that...
Arch mage144: *unfortunately, Allen manages to find no trace of Zeke's being there...unless the bullet casing that was ejected to the ground interests him!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Not really.
Arch mage144: You don't know Kamos Mazuo?
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I must step out :( )
Arch mage144: ('kay)
Lithaladhwen: Why should I?
Arch mage144: Do you pray to any gods?
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Shall I write Griff out for now, with the hopes of him coming back, or what? ;_;)
Arch mage144: (Up to you)
Lithaladhwen: Not really, no. Sorry.
Arch mage144: (Suggest he's out investigating some lead)
SongstressEnlil: Ugh.
Arch mage144: Hmm, in that case, I'm surprised you haven't met him.
SongstressEnlil: Are you a tracking sort, miss?
OMG Priam: (Get the guard lookin for Zeke)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Indeed.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...You know what? <_<
Arch mage144: Because it would take the protection of some sort of deity to have the good fortune never to meet Kamos.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm going to go get my men looking for this guy.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'll catch up with you later, if I can. <_<
Lithaladhwen: Well, maybe I've attracted some divine attention, then.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And, the big man is off!*
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow*
NebbieQ: (Back. *catches up*)
Arch mage144: That's not all the attention you're attracting.
OMG Priam: .......
Lithaladhwen: Yes. Well.
Lithaladhwen: Good for me, then.
Arch mage144: No, no.
SongstressEnlil: *Shrugs* IM: Fine, answer me.
Arch mage144: Er. I don't think you understand.
SongstressEnlil: *+ don't
Arch mage144: Miss, do you realize that you have wizarding potential o_o?
Lithaladhwen: Yes.
Lithaladhwen: Is that relevant?
Arch mage144: It's always relevant!
Arch mage144: It's as relevant as being able to breathe!
OMG Priam: .......
Lithaladhwen: I enjoy it, yes. But it matters to you?
SongstressEnlil: Don't we have a hired killer to find?
NebbieQ: Allen has a point.
Arch mage144: Anything that is...yes, yes, after I finish discussing the principles of magic with this woman.
Arch mage144: She seems to miss the point.
NebbieQ: ...no, no, no.
OMG Priam: Sire, the guild will still be there in a month.
Arch mage144: This is not about the guild!
Lithaladhwen: I think your friends are getting impatient.
NebbieQ: I think you'd make a much better case if you weren't distracted.
Arch mage144: Look.
NebbieQ: By such things as finding a hired killer.
Arch mage144: But I don't need to find a hired killer until I find out what kind of magic this woman does!
Arch mage144: It's intensely fascinating!
NebbieQ: Maybe you could discuss it on the way?
Arch mage144: It's like discovering a rare new species of bird, only I can find a dozen of them if I go to the zoo.
Lithaladhwen: *places fingertips on forehead as if gathering patience* Fine.
OMG Priam: Sire, I recommend not becoming too entranced by this creature...
OMG Priam: Remember, your wife....
Lithaladhwen: If it makes everyone so happy to do so.
Arch mage144: I'm not hitting on her!
Arch mage144: I'm inquiring about her talents!
SongstressEnlil: Do you randomly pester people about their magic, General?
Arch mage144: Giving her a chance to show off!
Arch mage144: Yes.
Arch mage144: *bishounen hairflip*
OMG Priam: Only the female ones.
Arch mage144: No!
NebbieQ: ...well then. o_o
Arch mage144: The male ones too!
Lithaladhwen: Hm.
Arch mage144: Remember, I apprenticed Karis.
NebbieQ: IM: ...I hope he never sets foot into the store any time soon.
OMG Priam: I have an idea, sire.
Arch mage144: You seem to have lots of those, Anion.
OMG Priam: Invite her to come with us. Her talents will become self-evident in time.
Arch mage144: And quit calling me sire, or I'm going to have to do something rash.
SongstressEnlil: Or just arrange a lunch.
Lithaladhwen: Or someone could just.... ask?
Lithaladhwen: I might actually know.
Arch mage144: I'm not asking her to lunch. That would imply that I was interested in doing something with her.
NebbieQ: *Looks to his basket at the mention of food*
NebbieQ: IM: Hungry... 6_6
SongstressEnlil: He has been asking, you know.
Arch mage144: Why don't you demonstrate for me what you're capable of, miss, and then, if I find you might be useful in our cause, I might ask if you would be willing to aid us.
Arch mage144: We're trying to find a killer.
Lithaladhwen: I see.
NebbieQ: *Realises that they may not be leaving soon, so he pulls out a carrot to munch on.*
Lithaladhwen: Well, I know some mind-related magic... and some other odds and ends.
Arch mage144: *Hakaril's face hardens slightly*
Arch mage144: ...mind-related.
Lithaladhwen: Problem?
OMG Priam: *smiles*
NebbieQ: Hmn! What sort?
NebbieQ: Telepathy, I assume?
Arch mage144: *visibly grits his teeth for a second*
NebbieQ: IM: ...oh, this is going to be fun.
Arch mage144: IM: ...not all mentalists are bad. Not all mentalists are bad.
Lithaladhwen: ...
OMG Priam: *barely loses the ability to stifle his chuckling*
Arch mage144: IM: NOT ALL MENTALISTS ARE MURDERING SONS OF BITCHES WHO SHOULD BURN FOREVER IN THE FIRES OF ETERNAL HATRED!
Lithaladhwen: Excuse me.
Lithaladhwen: Are you quite all righ?
SongstressEnlil: IM: You know, times like these I wish I still kept that zwiehander.
OMG Priam: *pokes Hakaril in the eye*
Arch mage144: *softens his expression*
Arch mage144: OW!
OMG Priam: s/eye/arm
Arch mage144: YOU FUCK!
SongstressEnlil: *Zweihander
Arch mage144: THAT WAS MY EYE!
OMG Priam: I was aiming for your temple.
Arch mage144: ...IS my eye!
Arch mage144: You missed!
Lithaladhwen: Okay. I think everyone is a little distracted.
OMG Priam: Miss.
NebbieQ: Sory, miss.
SongstressEnlil: I have to agree
NebbieQ: *Munch.*
OMG Priam: I believe what he wishes to say is for you to come along with us.
Arch mage144: Do me a favor, then
Lithaladhwen: What are you people trying to accomplish?
Arch mage144: I have to get over this bullshit.
Arch mage144: Read my mind.
OMG Priam: Isn't that correct, General?
Lithaladhwen: Why?
NebbieQ: We were trying to find a criminal.
Arch mage144: It's a long story that I'm not going to tell you.
Arch mage144: Furthermore, I need to see if you can do what you say you can. Look, if you're actually an accomplished telepath, you'll be a great help finding a criminal.
OMG Priam: Knowing your skill, though, that hardly matters.
SongstressEnlil: Well, we are trying to find a murderer. And he suppositely knows where to find this guy.
Lithaladhwen: I see.
Arch mage144: You want to be rewarded, fine.
Arch mage144: I'm just trying to calm down a very paranoid inventor.
Arch mage144: He might've dreamed the whole thing because he ate too much cheese.
Lithaladhwen: Is he the one with the fishmonger issues?
Arch mage144: ...yes, him.
OMG Priam: ........
Lithaladhwen: Ah.
OMG Priam: *slightly insulted*
NebbieQ: ...I see you met him.
Arch mage144: ...you look bothered, Anion.
SongstressEnlil: *Shifts his weight a bit*
OMG Priam: It is not worth your concern. Pride gets in the way of much.
OMG Priam: In any case, time is not on our side. *said with some irony*
SongstressEnlil: IM: Takes a strong man to say that. I like this Anion guy.
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 5 3
Arch mage144: IM (which Dawn reads): Motherfucking sonovabitch drow couldn't stand having anyone disagree with him for one second...but he's dead now, oh yes. Dead. Dead, and being tortured forever...
Lithaladhwen: Who's dead?
Arch mage144: IM (still reading): Oh. I need to think of something. Um. Blue.
OMG Priam: .........
Arch mage144: What color am I...WHAT!?
OMG Priam: ........uh oh.
NebbieQ: ...
NebbieQ: IM: Wonderful. v_v;
Arch mage144: ...I think you...have proven your capacity to read my mind...
Lithaladhwen: Well, you asked.
Arch mage144: ...without my noticing. *mutter*
SongstressEnlil: (EMO SUICIDE! DARWINISM AT ITS BEST!)
Arch mage144: Yes, I commend you.
Lithaladhwen: I would not have done it otherwise.
Arch mage144: Yes, I know.
NebbieQ: (...Pervy, that shouldn't have made me laugh so much.)
Lithaladhwen: I find it's intensely rude to be in the minds of others without consent.
OMG Priam: *tries to recall which scrolls Hakaril left the place with...*
OMG Priam: *palace
Arch mage144: Alright, so. I hate to be so to the point, except that I don't actually, but I figure I should say so because it's supposedly courteous to be vague and not tell anyone what you really think.
OMG Priam: *and if any were particularly destructive in nature...*
Arch mage144: We could use your help. Will you assist us?
SongstressEnlil: *nods to Dawn* It's good that you think that way, Miss.
Lithaladhwen: That should be no problem for me.
Arch mage144: *well, there was that one scroll of mental pureé*
Lithaladhwen: Shouldn't you ask your friends?
OMG Priam: *irked look*
Arch mage144: *oh, and Wray's extendable force sword*
NebbieQ: I don't mind any extra help.
SongstressEnlil: Well, I don't mind the company.
Arch mage144: *and astral hemorrage*
OMG Priam: *mouth twists the other way, twice as hard*
NebbieQ: *Looks to Anion*
SongstressEnlil: Welcome aboard, Miss...?
Lithaladhwen: As long as nobody minds. Dawn Valerian.
NebbieQ: *Quietly* Are you alright?
Arch mage144: Anion, you're positive that the vision you had was accurate, so we're going to continue hunting Zeke and assume Chandler isn't making shit up this time.
OMG Priam: So far.
SongstressEnlil: Allen Grenson.
Arch mage144: He used to come to me every week and tell me someone was trying to kill him.
SongstressEnlil: *Offers his free hand to Dawn*
Arch mage144: One time, it turned out that it was actually a pair of bunny slippers in his closet that was convinced had it in for him.
Lithaladhwen: *takes hand*
OMG Priam: The vision I displayed was most certainly accurate. I cannot say whether it was Chandler he was shooting at, or something behind Chandler, but the situation did in fact happen.
OMG Priam: Most likely very recently.
SongstressEnlil: *Firm shake! Hey, he has a good grip*
Lithaladhwen: *is not bothered*
Arch mage144: I have absolute faith in your ability to predict such.
Arch mage144: You always know what time it is, so you must be right about other things, too!
NebbieQ: (Bah, called off.)
OMG Priam: Your logic is.....astounding.
Arch mage144: Your office is also very shiny.
Lithaladhwen: Well that does make all the difference.
OMG Priam: im: What in the nine levels of Hell caused this man to be so well-remembered in history?
NebbieQ: ... *ignores the general, and turns to the lady.*
Arch mage144: ...according to the Queen, that influences how influential you are, but I'm not sure about that part.
NebbieQ: And I'm Spob Nueva. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier.
Arch mage144: That was kind of a redundant statement.
Arch mage144: Er, anyway.
SongstressEnlil: (Auriga: Oh, little pact with the 4th)
Arch mage144: So, you're Dawn Valerian.
Arch mage144: I've never heard of you, but it's good to make your acquaintence.
Lithaladhwen: *To both Spob and the general.* Yes. Nice to meet you.
Arch mage144: Alright.
Arch mage144: We have absolutely no leads and Chandler is dressed in drag.
Arch mage144: This is a great scenario.
Arch mage144: I have but one suggestion.
SongstressEnlil: Didn't he saw he saw Zeke in a tavern?
NebbieQ: Yes?
SongstressEnlil: Sounds like a fairly good idea to check there.
Arch mage144: Well, that's where you usually see him.
Arch mage144: Anyone want anyone else dead?
OMG Priam: im: I do wish I'd not aligned myself with General Silvar so soon, and made some black market contacts...
OMG Priam: I'm sure that someone always wants someone else dead.
Lithaladhwen: A sound assumption.
Arch mage144: No, I mean, anyone here want anyone else dead.
Arch mage144: ...I suppose failing that, you could always lie about it.
NebbieQ: No thanks, I'll pass.
NebbieQ: But thanks for the offer.
SongstressEnlil: Just the tax man. *Half grin*
Arch mage144: Alright, well.
OMG Priam: That does not sound terribly appropriate.
OMG Priam: If the party who paid this Zeke to slay Chandler found out that the job was unfinished, they would be most displeased.
Arch mage144: I sincerely doubt Chandler has any idea where the woman he ran off with last night went, and as a result, we won't be able to use her as a source of information.
Arch mage144: Furthermore, Chandler was probably too heavily inebriated to remember what bar he was in last night.
SongstressEnlil: IM: Need to sit down, my leg is killing me.
Arch mage144: ...but now we have a mind-reader who can pull it out of his addled brain.
Lithaladhwen: If it's necessary, I can give it a try.
OMG Priam: If Zeke is as competent as you make him sound, then he knows that he did not kill Chandler. Zeke will not be relaxing.
Arch mage144: I think it might work.
Arch mage144: No, no. You don't know Zeke.
Arch mage144: Zeke is always relaxing unless he's shooting at you.
NebbieQ: Let me guess...especially arrogant?
Lithaladhwen: If this Zeke is as competent as you all believe, wouldn't Chandler be dead unless Zeke had other plans?
SongstressEnlil: Or he's skipping town.
Arch mage144: Zeke is as full of himself as Kamos is full of self-pity.
OMG Priam: Unless the contractor does not actually want Chandler dead, just injured or frightened.
Arch mage144: Even the most competent gunner misses occasionally.
SongstressEnlil: IM: You know. I hope I never learn why they dislike this Kamos guy.
Arch mage144: A pistol shot at that range, from my understanding of ballistics, would imply an inaccurate shot.
Lithaladhwen: I will concede that.
Arch mage144: You could be right, Anion.
Lithaladhwen: Just a potentiality.
Arch mage144: But I'm not sure why anyone would want to kill a guy who invents things like alarm clocks and soda.
SongstressEnlil: ...Hey.
NebbieQ: Maybe he came across something interesting? Sometimes the greatest discoveries are accidents.
SongstressEnlil: Maybe that potion magnate hired him?
NebbieQ: And he seems liket he sort to have a lot of them.
Arch mage144: Potion magnate?
SongstressEnlil: If Chandler's dabbling into drinks and stuff.
Arch mage144: Who's the potion magnate?
NebbieQ: ...wait, are you talking about Stavonski?
Arch mage144: Is he Barian?
SongstressEnlil: *Nods* Some Guy from Barius. Yeah, him.
Lithaladhwen: I must confess I am a little confused at this point.
Arch mage144: I've never met him.
NebbieQ: *Shakes head*
NebbieQ: Not his style.
Arch mage144: What does he do, make potions all day?
SongstressEnlil: Met him once, he tried to buy out my store when I was rebuilding it after the war.
NebbieQ: I'm partners of sorts with the guy. He's another businessman.
Arch mage144: Hmm.
Arch mage144: And you don't think he'd hire an assassin.
NebbieQ: And, he wouldn't do anything that illegal. Far too risky.
Arch mage144: We can always go ask him anyway. >.>
Arch mage144: It's not like he can lie to us.
Arch mage144: *glances at Dawn*
NebbieQ: ...well...if nothing else, he might know of a few rumors...
Lithaladhwen: *looks around, trying to follow the conversation*
SongstressEnlil: (Oh! Dawn vs. The Hat)
NebbieQ: (...ahaha.)
Arch mage144: Okay, that's good. We'll go speak to Stavwhatever.
Arch mage144: But first, let's see what pub Chandler was in last night.
Arch mage144: CHANDLER!
Lithaladhwen: (jigga wha? The Hat? )
SongstressEnlil: Sounds like a better lead, Chandler. I was just guessing.
SongstressEnlil: (*IMs it*)
NebbieQ: (I'd tell you, but that would ruin the surprise.)
Arch mage144: *out comes an oddly effeminate Chandler!*
Arch mage144: Yeah?
Arch mage144: How much did you have to drink last night?
NebbieQ: (And, I need to get going soon.)
Arch mage144: I, er, don't remember.
NebbieQ: While you take care of that, I can get in touch with Inverse.
Arch mage144: Yeah. That proves my point.
Arch mage144: Dawn, rape his brain.
NebbieQ: Any place where you want me to meet you?
OMG Priam: ........
Lithaladhwen: This should be interesting.
OMG Priam: An odd way of putting it...
NebbieQ: IM: ...you know, they always make it sound so dirty...
Arch mage144: Call it a little bit of old bias.
OMG Priam: I will.
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 3 3
NebbieQ: *Turns to Anion*
Arch mage144: *Dawn begins to root through Chandler's synapses, seeking some bit of buried information...*
NebbieQ: As I was saying, I can go ahead and talk to him, see what he knows.
Arch mage144: *having been heavily inebriated most of the night, many of Chandler's later memories are poorly formed and not terribly coherent*
Arch mage144: *however, Dawn notes that, of all the completely unsurprising places for Chandler to have gotten himself trashed last night, he was at the Jade Dragon*
OMG Priam: That sounds like a more sound lead. *to Spob*
Lithaladhwen: Well, he was at the Jade Dragon.
NebbieQ: Any place you want me to meet up with you when I'm done?
Lithaladhwen: And very intoxicated.
Arch mage144: (Since Neb has to go soon, I was thinking we can potentially put this on hold for a little while as soon as she has to leave--we can do the unthinkable and continue it later.)
OMG Priam: (Are you going to be back later, Neb?)
Arch mage144: (Cripes almighty, I'm GMing again.)
SongstressEnlil: (HAW HAW)
Arch mage144: (Then again, this plot has lived in my head for about a year.)
OMG Priam: (WINNAR)
Arch mage144: (I never got to do it.)
NebbieQ: (I was planning on leaving for the rest of the night, fairly soon. At around midnitght or a little later.)
NebbieQ: (However~)
NebbieQ: (I can stay on for another half an hour, if it's needed.)
Arch mage144: (That's okay. We can just pause here, unless you want to ICly break up and regroup?)
Arch mage144: (We won't finish anything in half an hour.)
Arch mage144: (Anything more meaningful, that is.)
NebbieQ: (Well then, I shall make my IC exit.)
OMG Priam: If you would perhaps drop a note at the palace gates for me, in approximately, say, six hours?
NebbieQ: That shouldn't be a problem.
OMG Priam: No need to hand it to anyone. Just drop it on the ground.
NebbieQ: Are you sure?
OMG Priam: *nods*
NebbieQ: *Shrugs* Alright, then.
Arch mage144: Okay. So. We split up, Spob goes to check out another lead, and the rest of us can go to the Jade Dragon shortly.
Arch mage144: And we need to grab Griff before we go.
OMG Priam: I will do my own investigating.
Arch mage144: We'll see if anyone there saw Zeke last night--or if Zeke himself was there.
Arch mage144: You're welcome to do that, if you wish, Anion. I suppose you have your own methods.
NebbieQ: *nod* You might want to ask some of the gobs if they've seen anything.
OMG Priam: *nods, begins walking off...*
Arch mage144: That's not a bad idea.
OMG Priam: *passes Dawn very closely on his path...*
NebbieQ: You'd be surprise what sort of stuff tavernworkers notice.
Arch mage144: (That mean that you're ICly out of this for good, or do you want to be in the continuation if/when, Priam?)
Arch mage144: No kidding.
NebbieQ: Anyways, I'll see you all later. Good luck at the inn.
OMG Priam: *whisper* Do be careful what minds you probe into. *sinister overtones*
Arch mage144: Alright. Let's do the splitting up thing for now, then. Dawn, Allen, come with me.
SongstressEnlil: Right you are.
OMG Priam: (I would indeed like to be in on the followup.)
NebbieQ: *And with that, the white mage makes his way off into the distance.*
Lithaladhwen: *is a little perturbed by the whispering* *follows the General*
Arch mage144: Spob, good luck with Inverse. He can be a bit of a slimy character, if you catch my meaning.
Arch mage144: But it's not like he's actually evil or anything.
OMG Priam: *walks off*
NebbieQ: *Stops*
Arch mage144: He just tried to outbid me on the book I wanted to buy. e_e
NebbieQ: ...wait wait wait.
NebbieQ: How long ago was this?
Arch mage144: Oh, a while ago.
Arch mage144: I got the book, but it cost far more than it should have.
NebbieQ: How...interesting.
Arch mage144: ...?
NebbieQ: Well, like I said, I work with the guy.
Arch mage144: Right.
Arch mage144: I trust you can handle it.
Lithaladhwen: So... what now? This is your big mystery.
Arch mage144: Well.
Lithaladhwen: I just kind of... ended up here.
Arch mage144: Uh.
SongstressEnlil: Jade Dragon, I'm guessing.
Arch mage144: Um.
NebbieQ: *And with that, he continues along.*
Arch mage144: Yes! To the Jade Dragon!
SongstressEnlil: And just about the same here, Dawn. *Chuckles*
Arch mage144: (And this is where we cut and I make the typical "OKAY PEOPLE POST TIMES HERE KTHX" post)
NebbieQ: (Hmn!)
SongstressEnlil: (I'm probably good tomorrow_
NebbieQ: (Saturday is bad, as I'm seeing off a friend who's going into the navy soonish. Sunday is bad due to previous RP. Tomorrow, however, is good.)
OMG Priam: (Any day after midnight. Some days after 10pm. Thursdays generally whenever.)
Arch mage144: (Tomorrow is D&D session for me. That's a nongood.)
NebbieQ: (Monday?)
OMG Priam: (Monday is a midnight day for me)
Arch mage144: (Mm)
Arch mage144: (I'm going to put up a thread and figure it out, because it won't be tomorrow or Saturday by the looks of it)
OMG Priam: (Of course you can feel free to do it without me--Anion is moderately accessory to the plot)
Arch mage144: (That should give us time to figure)
NebbieQ: (Right.)
NebbieQ: (Anyways, night all.)
SongstressEnlil: (*Logs*)
Arch mage144: (Posted)
Arch mage144: (Post times, rock on)
NebbieQ: (Expect post tomorrow.)
