You have just entered room "Steam Powered Nightmares."
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
EbilRyuuzoku has entered the room.
Kekkou Aoshi has entered the room.
Arch mage144: Just setting thins up for when Will gets back.
FDeth has entered the room.
EbilRyuuzoku: Riot
Will Baseton has entered the room.
Arch mage144: ...riot?
Arch mage144: I advise against rioting.
FDeth: ....could you invite me to the OOC again?
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
Will Baseton: I are of requiring OOC.
T3chn0Namagomi: I have one request. No QRRBRBIRLBELs
Will Baseton has left the room.
FDeth: That's quite the acronym.
Will Baseton has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: It can also be spelled Qrrbrbirlbel
T3chn0Namagomi: /Demented Cartoon Movie
Arch mage144: What in God's name is a Qrrbrbirlbel?
Arch mage144: ...ah, okay o_O
T3chn0Namagomi: I was just being senseless
Kekkou Aoshi: Wow, that's awesome.
Kekkou Aoshi: Aron just learned a move that not only attacks strongly, but also boosts his attack.
Kekkou Aoshi: :D
Kekkou Aoshi: And has 35 PP
T3chn0Namagomi: (Nani?)
FDeth: Pokemon, Doug.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh
T3chn0Namagomi: You people are lucky. I had to clean up dog shit for an entire hour
Arch mage144: Suggestion, Sean. Please change your text to something that doesn't hurt my eyes to read. Preferably not dark red on black.
Arch mage144: In fact, a light background would be even better. >.o
Arch mage144: OK.
FDeth: Ok!
Will Baseton: Word.
EbilRyuuzoku: RAWR!
T3chn0Namagomi: Qrrbrbirlbel
Arch mage144: *pops open his favorite flavor of Snapple Elements*
FDeth: *will use this font colour, as he is only using one character and doesn't feel like selecting a unique font for Pete*
Will Baseton: *grabs a Sierra Mist*
Arch mage144: ...whoops, I need my calculator. 6.6 *grabs that*
T3chn0Namagomi: *uses Kamos, and has his macaw with him for good luck*
Arch mage144: Alright. Time for...the necessary background!
FDeth: Woo!
T3chn0Namagomi: YAY.
Arch mage144: For sake of convenience...Sean, does Shiranai know Aya?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...xD
Kekkou Aoshi: Yeah...
Arch mage144: He does, yes. OK. And I ask again for you to change your background to something light colored. *nod*
Kekkou Aoshi: Better?
T3chn0Namagomi: Jes
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh they know each other....
Arch mage144: Much. Anyway, this'll start off in Doma City wherever--the party'll organize eventually, I'll see to that (most likely, anyway)...
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh
Will Baseton: Will will probably be with his sister.
T3chn0Namagomi: I call dibs on the bar!
FDeth: OMG IT STARTS IN A BAR?? :D??
EbilRyuuzoku: RAWR! I start where I want!
Arch mage144: Well it doesn't have to...=P And it obviously doesn't END in a bar...
T3chn0Namagomi: Why not? A lot of Slayers episodes start in restaurants, if I recall correctly
Arch mage144: They do.
T3chn0Namagomi: XD
Arch mage144: So start off wherever is appropriate, and things should pull together! :D
Arch mage144: That being said...
EbilRyuuzoku: *will be at the castle herself*
Arch mage144: <RP!>
T3chn0Namagomi: <IC!>
EbilRyuuzoku: <Aya du Mythril!>
FDeth: <"One-eyed" Pete!>
T3chn0Namagomi: <Kamos Mazuo, youshouldknowwhothefuckheisorelseyoushouldbeshot>
Will Baseton: <Will Baseton>
Kekkou Aoshi: <Shiranai *smirk*>
Arch mage144: *It's been a long week for just about everyone in Doma, and a particular few people are looking for ways to unwind, trying to deal with their problems or just plain celebrate the end of a busy period... *
Arch mage144: *Hakaril Silvar, who everyone should know, happens to be wandering the halls of the castle, looking for Aya*
Arch mage144: AYA!
Arch mage144: ...are you around anywhere?
EbilRyuuzoku: *is at this time not technically in the castle, but outside walking through the gardens*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shiranai, on the other hand, is returning from Nekonia finally. Having spent some time meditating and training, he is ready to return to daily::
Arch mage144: Where the hell is she...AYA!
T3chn0Namagomi: *and Kamos has been drinking in the bar, as usual. Suprisingly, he is NOT tipsy*
EbilRyuuzoku: Such a nice day.... ^_^
Arch mage144: *doing his best to seek out the ryuuzoku, he peers out a window* AYA!?
EbilRyuuzoku: Eh?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: ...there you are. *stares down at her* You've got some mail...
T3chn0Namagomi: The sake's been shitty today...
EbilRyuuzoku: <.< 9.9 Mail?
FDeth: *Pete, known as "One-eyed" Pete not because of only having one eye, as he has both, but because of having a unibrow, and who is also one of th eleast feared pirates on the seas, is also in the bar!*
Will Baseton: *sitting in a tree above Aya* Damn, Hak, you could wake the dead with that yelling...
EbilRyuuzoku: From who?
Arch mage144: ...it seems moderately important...it's from somebody named...*reads*
Arch mage144: Tyrane.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....froooom?
EbilRyuuzoku: .....who? Hold on a sec... *rushes inside*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Who's Tyrane?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Apparently Nekonia decided to make my life shitty too, eh? Or it could be the fact that something else got in it...
Will Baseton: Who the hell is that? *flies up to the window*
T3chn0Namagomi: *simply leaves his bill, without tip, there, and leaves the bar*
FDeth: *is also drinking...prune juice*
EbilRyuuzoku: *gets up to Hakaril* ...Tyrane? Lemme see that..
T3chn0Namagomi: *slowly vacating the tavern with a normal Kamos look on his face*
Kekkou Aoshi: IM: Heheh....maybe I shouldn't put that in the Sake tanks...
Arch mage144: It's an invitation...I think.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shiranai smirked to himself as he thought to himself and walked down the street::
EbilRyuuzoku: Invitation? *takes it and reads*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:damn, people suck ass nowadays...
Will Baseton: *floats over to Hak, smirking* Well...hmm...does it say anything about bringing friends?
Arch mage144: *The invitation reads...*
FDeth: IM: ...oooh! I know! I'll go see if the Cap
FDeth: 'n is about!
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Wait. Those shitheads always did suck ass. Nevermind that.
Arch mage144: "You are cordially invited to experience the vacation of a lifetime! Your imagination is the only limit within the confines of the world of Steamtown!
Arch mage144: Come see what we have to offer--a unique and delightful entertainment venue!"
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, on the outside of the tavern...*
FDeth: *leaves a few coins, and gets up to leave the bar*
Arch mage144: *a similar flyer is posted, appearing to be an advertisement of some sort*
Will Baseton: Vacation... *_* Sis! We're going on vacation!
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks at this advertisement.....and then tears it off and looks at it while going somewhere*
EbilRyuuzoku: Heh....Ara could use this more than me...but currently she's spending some much needed alone time with Taryn...
FDeth: >.> *goes to read the flyer, with difficulty, as he's 90% illiterate*
Arch mage144: *the flyer clearly serves the purpose of attracting visitors to "Steamtown," which is apparently some sort of theme-parkish attraction*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:hmmmm......I'm going to have to check this out....
EbilRyuuzoku: O.o Looks like a big fair thing....where IS Steamtown?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:I wonder what the fuck some crazy-ass kook came up with this time....
Will Baseton: Well, why don't we check it out, anyways? Looks like fun.
EbilRyuuzoku: Maybe Ayra would want to come....
T3chn0Namagomi: *snickers*
Will Baseton: I love theme parks.
FDeth: ...steee....am......tow....in. >.>
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Meanwhile, Shiranai is knocking on the Palace gates, despite the two guards inquiring of him::
Arch mage144: *the invitation and flyer also specify its location--and it isn't far outside of Doma, according to the map, maybe an hour's walk north of the city limits*
Kekkou Aoshi: Well...no one's home.
FDeth: IM: ....wow...those are some big words!
Will Baseton: Wow, and it's close, too.
EbilRyuuzoku: Not far either.....hey this looks fun! ^_^
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Well....this is rather....convenient.
Will Baseton: *nods* Shall we go? I can carry you if you want.
Arch mage144: ...you're going, eh?
Will Baseton: *turns to Hak* Yeah. Want to come with?
FDeth: *tears off the map part of a flye* IM: Well, if the Cap'n is at the castle, then I can see if he wants to go too!
Arch mage144: Might as well. I have...about three things I can do as an alternative.
EbilRyuuzoku: I can walk myself you know...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Damnit, I need something to blow all of this bank account on..
Arch mage144: And two of them involve playing with artifacts of hate.
Will Baseton: Why walk when we can fly or teleport?
EbilRyuuzoku: Hey it'll be fun, could use some more fun around here....ugh...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:What the hell. It could get my mind off of all of this shit.
Will Baseton: Maybe Hak and I could work on combining our powers to make a more potent teleportation spell.
Arch mage144: Yeah. Let's forget the damned artifacts for a while and go screw around?
EbilRyuuzoku: ...those artifacts can wait for now or something...
Arch mage144: Guards: *staring at Shiranai* Uh...excuse me.
Will Baseton: *nods*
Arch mage144: G: Who the hell are you, buddy?
FDeth: *tromps over in the general direction of the castle*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then starts to dash off, but then stops*
Kekkou Aoshi: Eh? I was hired by the King.
Arch mage144: *as the castle is pretty big, it's very possible to walk in its general direction!*
Kekkou Aoshi: To search for an ancient relic.
Arch mage144: G: ...what ancient relic would this be?
Will Baseton: *musses Hak and Aya's hair* This should be great.
Arch mage144: ...don't touch my hair.
Kekkou Aoshi: Hmm...
EbilRyuuzoku: *hair is rather hard to muss*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Thinks to himself::
Kekkou Aoshi: 9.9 I forget the name.
Arch mage144: G: Oh really.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Eh, hell, I'm definitely not going out there without making sure I'm armed properly...
Kekkou Aoshi: It's been months since he gave me the project.
Kekkou Aoshi: I'm just checking in.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Salutes like a smartass::\
Will Baseton: <.< Stop being such a stuck-up punk and have some fun, Hakaril.
EbilRyuuzoku: Will!
EbilRyuuzoku: Don't be an ass!
Kekkou Aoshi: Need proof?
T3chn0Namagomi: *drops the ad, and then Kamos checks his ammo stores and other items*
Arch mage144: G: Really now.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:I need...stuff
Will Baseton: You know I'm just kidding around, sis. Hak and I have been getting along lately.
Arch mage144: G: We're going to have to ask you to leave, if you can't produce proof. Like. Right now.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shrug::
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Digs around in his pants::
Arch mage144: A stuck up punk!?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Alright, then....
T3chn0Namagomi: *starts off his dash towards the northern border*
EbilRyuuzoku: I'm going to see if Ayra wants to come.... *goes to check for her*
Kekkou Aoshi: Hmm...::Shakes his head::
FDeth: *sees the castle gate, goes towards it, while seeing the guards question Shirinai!*
Kekkou Aoshi: Hey, could you, perhaps, help me look?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Peers up from his pants::
EbilRyuuzoku: *peers into one of the rooms, sees Ayra asleep and all curled up*
EbilRyuuzoku: ....awww how cute!
Arch mage144: G: Get off the grounds right now, you twit.
Arch mage144: G: Or we're going to remove you.
Will Baseton: Give it a rest, Hak. I know you stole my fish.
Kekkou Aoshi: Now now...
Arch mage144: ...WHAT!?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Brings up a royal seal printed on a slip of paper::
Arch mage144: How dare you accuse me of theft!?
Arch mage144: G: *are silent* ........
Kekkou Aoshi: Now how did that get down there?
Arch mage144: G: *stare balefully at Shiranai*
Kekkou Aoshi: Mm. 9_9
Kekkou Aoshi: Anyway...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Gives it them::
FDeth: *stands behind Shir, and waits for the guards to finish with him* o.o
Will Baseton: I heard one of the guards talking about a "pretty stone with fish in it" in your office. Hmm...
Arch mage144: G: *open the front door* ...go ahead, sir.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Bows entirely too deeply::
Kekkou Aoshi: You are entirely TOO kind.
EbilRyuuzoku: Hey you two! We gonna go or what?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Walks through the gates, with his hands behind his head::
Arch mage144: G: *muttering irritably*
Arch mage144: G: ...who goes there? *to Pete*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and Kamos is, well, dashing for the northern exit, more out of boredom than anything else*
Will Baseton: Sure. Once Hak admits to stealing my fish. *nods*
FDeth: *walks up to a guard* 'allo! I'm Pete! Is Pervy here? o.o?
EbilRyuuzoku: .....stealing fish? O_o
Arch mage144: I...fine, I stole your fish.
EbilRyuuzoku: ...you stole his fish?
EbilRyuuzoku: .....Will you had fish?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Hears about fish-theft accross the courtyard::
Will Baseton: *nods* I have a pond in the park.
Will Baseton: Dug it myself.
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o ::Sneaks up to it all quick like::
Arch mage144: He put them in a pond in the park with a no tresspassing, royal property sign.
Arch mage144: They aren't royal property...>_>
Will Baseton: Don't worry, Hak, you're off the hook. I can buy new ones.
Arch mage144: ...well now they're mine...um...I'll buy...yeah.
Arch mage144: I'll buy them. I was going to buy them, but...
EbilRyuuzoku: ...........
Arch mage144: It was easier to put them in a bag and make off with them. >_>
Kekkou Aoshi: Off the hook. Psh...bad pun.
Kekkou Aoshi: >_>
EbilRyuuzoku: <.< ......
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Listen::
EbilRyuuzoku: .....you.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Maybe they have guns there!
Arch mage144: ...I was going to eat them, but...yeah.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Realizes he's been seen::
Arch mage144: Anyway.
Kekkou Aoshi: ..........me?
Arch mage144: G: ...Pervy? Oh, Pervy.
Will Baseton: Let's go to the park.
Arch mage144: G: Friends of Captain Pervy?
Arch mage144: *Friend
FDeth: Mmmyeah. I is part of his ol' crew! n_n
EbilRyuuzoku: ...... *stares at Shir* ...what are you doing here?!
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Uses Shukuchi (*) and is suddenly standing less than a foot away from her giving a look Zoolander would be proud of::
EbilRyuuzoku: ......*glares*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Oh right, you asked me a question.
EbilRyuuzoku: You gonna answer my question?
Arch mage144: G: ...right.
Arch mage144: G: Sure, pal. Go ahead. I don't know if he's here or not, but you can look.
Arch mage144: G: *opens the doors*
FDeth: ....ok! Thanks! n_n *goes through the door*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Is thinking::
Will Baseton: Aya, vacation...
Kekkou Aoshi: Well, the king hasn't heard from in months.
Arch mage144: ...hey, who's that?
FDeth: *sees Aya et al*
Arch mage144: ...uh...wait. Have I...? No. I don't think so...
Arch mage144: ...hey, look, it's...a guy with a unibrow.
FDeth: *goes over to them, full of smiles and cheer*
Will Baseton: ......
Arch mage144: Who in the name of the Archmage Wray are you?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
FDeth: Hey! Do y'all know where the cap'n is? o.o
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Peers around::
EbilRyuuzoku: .....you still didn't answer my question....
Arch mage144: o_o Pervy?
FDeth: Yep!
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
EbilRyuuzoku: *still glaring at Shir*
Arch mage144: Yeah, he's...not here. o_o;
Arch mage144: Are you a friend of his?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:I guess I'm making good time...
Kekkou Aoshi: I'm just checking in, that I am. ^_^ Why?
Kekkou Aoshi: Does the queen charge toll for her presence?
FDeth: ....aw. Yeah, I'm part o' his crew, and I was gonna see if he wanted to go here... *shows them the map off the flyer*
Kekkou Aoshi: e_e
Arch mage144: *ignores Shiranai for a minute to deal with Pete*
EbilRyuuzoku: .....no. e_e
Arch mage144: o_o Hey, that's amusing. We're going there.
Arch mage144: If you're a friend of Pervy's...you can't be all bad...
Arch mage144: You could tag along, I suppose. *blinks and adjusts his hat*
FDeth: ...yay!
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Is now standing next to Hak:: Going where? ^ ^
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Arch mage144: Hey, Aya? We're taking...this guy with a unibrow with us!
EbilRyuuzoku: O_o ...how'd he do that...
Arch mage144: o_o Er, what's your name?
Arch mage144: ....GAH!
Will Baseton: >.>
FDeth: ...oh, er, I'm Pete! One-eyed Pete to th' scurvy sea-dogs!
Arch mage144: Look, you cra...wait. That's not magic. How'd you do that?
Will Baseton: Freaky.
Arch mage144: You teleported or something. >_>
Arch mage144: ...and we're going...to go have some fun.
Kekkou Aoshi: Nope.
Arch mage144: What are you doing? Harassing people?
Kekkou Aoshi: ^_^ Pure speed.
Kekkou Aoshi: Eh? I'm merely having my fun.
Kekkou Aoshi: I have been training for the past few weeks.
Arch mage144: ...and...so here you are the castle.
EbilRyuuzoku: *twitch*
Arch mage144: If you want to have fun, you should go to an amusement park or something. Not a castle.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: This guy bugs me...
Will Baseton: Yeah. And leave us alone.
Arch mage144: Castles are places people WORK.
Kekkou Aoshi: Indeed. The king probably misses me.
Arch mage144: IM: ...or avoid work.
Arch mage144: ...you know him?
FDeth: o_o *notices that he has very little money left in his pocket* IM: ...work! That's something I should prob'ly do some more of!
Kekkou Aoshi: I have met this girl. ::Puts his hands on Aya's shoulders::
Kekkou Aoshi: A spunky one, she is.
EbilRyuuzoku: e__e
Arch mage144: Aya, is he a past lover or something?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....grrr.....
EbilRyuuzoku: No *twitch* Just a past annoyance...
Arch mage144: ...or an illegitimate child who got stuck in a positive time acceleration stream...?
Arch mage144: Ah. So basically, he's just a pain in the ass.
Kekkou Aoshi: Hai. Especxially when I use Fushicho. ::Fondles the pommel of his sword::
Kekkou Aoshi: *especially
Will Baseton: ......
Will Baseton: Can we go?
EbilRyuuzoku: ......yeah let's go.
Kekkou Aoshi: Great! ^_^
FDeth: ....yeah! An' have fun and stuff! n_n
Kekkou Aoshi: My legs were atrophying.
T3chn0Namagomi: *and is already making good time, I guess*
Arch mage144: ...he's fondling his sword....
Arch mage144: ...we're...leaving. Yeah. Like. Now.
Arch mage144: So, are we walking? >_>;
Kekkou Aoshi: No. We're standing.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Looks around::
EbilRyuuzoku: Let's get walking.
Arch mage144: ...we are standing now, yes. We're going to start walking.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I'm not giving these many people a ride....especially not that...wacko...
Arch mage144: *starts walking* This way! *points*
Will Baseton: Right...
Arch mage144: IM: There is no way I'm letting Aya lead.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Accidently pokes Hak in the back with his sword pommel::
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Pretends not to notice::
FDeth: >.> n_n *follows Hak*
Kekkou Aoshi: 9.9
Arch mage144: IM: She has the sense of direction of an ettin that's been smacked upside the head with a tree and stuck in a dark room.
EbilRyuuzoku: *follows after Hak, since she has a bad bad sense of direction*
Arch mage144: ...*ignores Shiranai pointedly*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:*just, uhh...makes better time than the rest of the group, I guess*
Will Baseton: *follows Hak* ...hm.
Arch mage144: (*takes a moment to resolve something*)
Kekkou Aoshi: ...o.o Where is it we're going, again?
Arch mage144: *Kamos arrives at what looks like a fairly stereotypical ivory looking wizard's tower with a sign hanging on the door that says "hours 14:00-0:00"*
Arch mage144: *at current, it is 13:40*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....Damn. I'm early....
EbilRyuuzoku: .....a fair, Shiranai
Kekkou Aoshi: I see.
T3chn0Namagomi: Or something
T3chn0Namagomi: Doesn't LOOK like much, thouhg
T3chn0Namagomi: *though
FDeth: n_n *following, in his own little world*
Arch mage144: *in the distance, the group can spot the tower...and those with really good eyesight can see Kamos*
Will Baseton: ...a...tower.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Can feel his heat signature faintly::
EbilRyuuzoku: *doesn't really excel at eyesight or anything*
Kekkou Aoshi: Hmm...
Arch mage144: A tower that's throwing off more magic than a beholder enchanted with Krysta's Artificial Aura.
Arch mage144: Something is definitely worth checking out. Besides, if not, we can bust them for false advertising.
FDeth: o.o ...an' there's like...someone! In front of it!
Kekkou Aoshi: There is a fellow standing there as well.
Arch mage144: ...*squints*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shoots a glance at Pete::
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Smirks at him::
T3chn0Namagomi: *tapping his foot*
Arch mage144: o_o Hey, I know...that's Kamos!
T3chn0Namagomi: Great. More of a crowd to fight...
Kekkou Aoshi: Kamos?
Kekkou Aoshi: Sounds like a wizard or some sort.
EbilRyuuzoku: Kamos? He's here? IM: Uh oh....
Arch mage144: He's a mercenary alcoholic who has bad luck with women.
FDeth: ......oooooh. Is he nice, or one o' those bad guys that we have to fight to get treasure? >.>
EbilRyuuzoku: o_O I never imagined him to be going to a faire....
Arch mage144: And he likes to shoot people in the face indiscriminately.
EbilRyuuzoku: ...uh...he's....neutral.
FDeth: ....oh. ._.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:I just hope that there's nothing else I have to deal with...
Kekkou Aoshi: Sounds like a real nice guy.
Will Baseton: He's weird. That's all.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Could Kamos hear that "Weird" comment?)
Arch mage144: Hey, Kamos!
Arch mage144: *yelling*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Rolls up his sleeves::
EbilRyuuzoku: 'ey lay off him Will..
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Arch mage144: ...*the group approaches the tower--and Kamos*
Will Baseton: *sweatdrop*
Arch mage144: ...the hell're you doing here?
FDeth: o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: *glares at Will*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Cups his hands over his mouth:: YEEHHHHOOOO!
T3chn0Namagomi: The hell're you aski---
EbilRyuuzoku: <__< .......
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Did he HAVE to follow us?!
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then pulls the Kamos Mazuo Death Glare, not to be confused with the Heero Yuy Death Glare, at Shiranai*
Will Baseton: <.<
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
Kekkou Aoshi: Hmm...
Kekkou Aoshi: Not bad.
Will Baseton: IM: This won't go well.
Kekkou Aoshi: May I?
Arch mage144: So...uh...
Arch mage144: ...why are you standing outside, then?
EbilRyuuzoku: ...may you what?
T3chn0Namagomi: It's not open yet
Arch mage144: May you what, psychopath?
FDeth: ....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::As Hak talks, Shiranai draws his sword and emulates this::
EbilRyuuzoku: ....no you may not.
Kekkou Aoshi: Awww.
EbilRyuuzoku: *glare* e_e
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Cries at her feet::
T3chn0Namagomi: ...*sees Aya, and then turns the hell away*
EbilRyuuzoku: -_-;; IM; Oh BROTHER
EbilRyuuzoku: ....uh...heya Kamos...
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o Your feet are scaly...kinda.
Arch mage144: Will you put that thing away!?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....my feet are not scaley!
FDeth: IM: ....wow, the must not like each other mcuh... o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: Leave me alone, please...
Arch mage144: ...now is not the time to go crazy fighting with people...
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o ::Looks up at Hak::
Will Baseton: ......
Kekkou Aoshi: I'm not fighting! >o<
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks to the tower*
Arch mage144: WHO DROPPED YOU ON YOUR HEAD AS A CHILD!?
Kekkou Aoshi: ME!
Kekkou Aoshi: ^_^
Arch mage144: *the sound of a lock clicking can be heard, and the sign vanishes*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Sheathes his sword::
Arch mage144: .......*awkward pause*
T3chn0Namagomi: Can I shoot this reta---
EbilRyuuzoku: >.> Hey I think it's opening....
FDeth: .....yay! It's opening! n_n
Will Baseton: ......
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Good....
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks to Pete*
Arch mage144: *the doors creak open wide*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM; Wow, he's not depressed or a psychopath, I like him....
Arch mage144: *the inside of the tower reveals a small "waiting room" with tables, chairs, and a fireplace, along with stairs up*
Will Baseton: Weird. Let's go in.
Arch mage144: *a sign on the other wall clearly reads "Please wait to be served!"*
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o Served?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Crosses his arms::
T3chn0Namagomi: *stays put*
Will Baseton: ...served? Odd...
FDeth: ....ooooh....it's like, a restaraunt, or something!
EbilRyuuzoku: *walks in* ....restaurant I guess...
FDeth: *follows Aya*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...But didn't the sign say steam?
Will Baseton: *follows his sister*
Will Baseton: ...maybe it's some really fancy steam room. *half-joking*
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks into the room*
Arch mage144: ...you know, I have no idea what kind of attraction this is, honestly.
Kekkou Aoshi: I hope I get to have some fun.
FDeth: Well, surprises are fun. *nods8
FDeth: *
EbilRyuuzoku: That's just the name of the place I suppose.... *shrugs*
Arch mage144: *takes a seat and hums an old Rivan folk song*
EbilRyuuzoku: *also finds herself a seat*
Will Baseton: *sits as well* ......
T3chn0Namagomi: *trying to keep himself from looking at Aya...but then pulls out an odd music box that he bought from "Ze 'appy Shtoof"*
T3chn0Namagomi: *sits, coincidentally, across from Aya*
FDeth: *looks around, attempting to find any plants in the room*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and simply looks away from her*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Resists the urge to sit on someone's lap, and just stands near the corner::
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Damn, he goes from being enamored with me to hating my guts....
Arch mage144: *after a couple minutes, a man wearing dark grey robes tied with a rust-colored sash comes down the stairs*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: That has to be some kind of progress...I think.
FDeth: >.>?
Arch mage144: *his hair is somewhat of a mess, and is copper colored*
Will Baseton: >.>
Will Baseton: Hm.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....oh! Hello!
Kekkou Aoshi: Konbanwa.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Contents of a shattered soul....what are they....
Arch mage144: *his face is clean shaven, and his eyes have a friendly look*
FDeth: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Nuzka...
FDeth: *waves* Hiiiii! n_n
Arch mage144: *given his manner of dress and other features, primarily his aura, it should be apparent to most that he is probably a mage*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Just looks at him and waits::
Kekkou Aoshi: o o
Arch mage144: M: Hello there. *nod* So, you're a few of today's visitors, hm?
T3chn0Namagomi: Aau
Will Baseton: You must be...Tyrane.
Arch mage144: M: My name is indeed Tyrane Arcanista, and I'll be your guide into Steamtown today. *he grins brightly*
Kekkou Aoshi: You have friendly eyes, but your parents must have had something a bit more malignant in mind. ^_^
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh, so you sent the letter.
EbilRyuuzoku: <_< Shiranai, shut up.
FDeth: Oooooooh....
Arch mage144: T: Yes, of course. I've been trying to get visitors out to see my new attraction.
EbilRyuuzoku: What is this exactly?
Arch mage144: T: *claps, and a large, golden furred dog hops to his side*
Arch mage144: Dog: *barks and pants happily*
T3chn0Namagomi: *observes Tyrane, to look for trustworthy or untrustworthy details about him*
Arch mage144: *Kamos can't see anything apparent...he seems like a reasonable guy*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Attempts to feel his heat signature as well::
Will Baseton: Weird...'at's a big dog.
Arch mage144: D: *vanishes suddenly, and appears in Will's lap*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Hmm.....
FDeth: O_O
Kekkou Aoshi: o o
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks over to the dog*
FDeth: Wow, that be a fast critter!
EbilRyuuzoku: O.o A disappearing dog?
Kekkou Aoshi: Hey! He's as fast as me!
EbilRyuuzoku: *reaches over to pet it*
Arch mage144: T: QUENTIN! Get off him!
T3chn0Namagomi: I've seen odder.
Will Baseton: o.O
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
Arch mage144: Q: *licks Will's face*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Tries to then feel the dog's heat::
Will Baseton: *twitchtwitch* Yes, please, get down... ^_^;;;;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes this moment to touch the silver disc on the music box*
EbilRyuuzoku: Aww, he likes ya....
FDeth: .....
Will Baseton: I'm...not a dog person.
EbilRyuuzoku: Dogs aren't that bad....
Arch mage144: *...the dog is giving off normal body heat*
EbilRyuuzoku: *pets the dog*
Kekkou Aoshi: Hm.
Arch mage144: *does Shiranai have a body heat fetish or something o_O?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and the music box starts playing its tune while figurines of Kamos and Aya appear on the box, dancing*
Arch mage144: Q: *barks* =^.^= *looks happy to be petted*
Arch mage144: ...a blink dog.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Ever since it developed in him, Shiranai has always regarded new things with both his eyes and ears, but also his heat sensory::
Arch mage144: T: Very good! *claps* You're intelligent, yes.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...A glimpse of what could have been...
EbilRyuuzoku: Blink dog?
Arch mage144: Any fool knows what a blink dog is. >_>
EbilRyuuzoku: ..... *remains silent*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
FDeth: ....ooooh...what's a blink dog?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::OPuts on a dumb smile::
T3chn0Namagomi: *and the box's music floods the air*
Kekkou Aoshi: *Puts
Will Baseton: They're dogs that can teleport.
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
EbilRyuuzoku: ...of course...
FDeth: IM: Yay! I guess I'm not any fool!
Arch mage144: They're usually friendly.
Kekkou Aoshi: Music?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Looks around::
Arch mage144: And they make decent familiars.
EbilRyuuzoku: >.>;;
Arch mage144: Q: WOOF! *goofy dog smile*
Will Baseton: No kidding, Hak...this one's a bit too friendly... o.o;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: *and one could see Kamos staring at the figurines on the disc*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Watching Kamos::
FDeth: ....woo!
Arch mage144: Q: *teleports again...over next to Kamos*
Arch mage144: Q: *leaps up onto the table, and then onto Kamos*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o;
Kekkou Aoshi: IM: He's cold...so cold...
Kekkou Aoshi: >_>
EbilRyuuzoku: *glances over to Kamos and Quentin*
EbilRyuuzoku: Heh, I think he likes you too Kamos
Arch mage144: Q: *slobbers all over the mercenary*
EbilRyuuzoku: *laughs* A lot...
T3chn0Namagomi: Err....eck....I did not expect the dog to do that to me.
T3chn0Namagomi: Err....*pats the dog on the head*
Arch mage144: T: Quentin, that's enough. *claps, and the dog comes back to Tyrane's side*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: T: I suppose you all came here to see Steamtown, yes?
T3chn0Namagomi: *trying to wipe the dog slobber off of him*
Arch mage144: T: I'm very proud of my creation...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::As if by instinct, a bit of hit transfers into Kamos's body. It is a gentle, global heat that comes on with a tingle::
Kekkou Aoshi: *heat
Will Baseton: That's why we're here, yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
Will Baseton: Is it an amusement park?
Kekkou Aoshi: o o ::Shiranai stares into space::
Arch mage144: (One sec. Need to, as the Brits might say, "take a slash.")
Will Baseton: I love amusement parks.
FDeth: ....oooooh...
T3chn0Namagomi: *and Kamos stares at the figures again*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Realizes finally he is staring, and shakes his head. The head in Kamos's body fades quickly::
Arch mage144: T: An amusement park? My friend, Steamtown is much MORE than a simple amusement park.
EbilRyuuzoku: <.< *glances at what Kamos is staring at*
Arch mage144: Really. *blinks* Where do you keep it?
Arch mage144: Does it fold up and fit in the cellar?
FDeth: ...keep a park in a cellar?
Kekkou Aoshi: Is it invisible or something?
Arch mage144: T: Of course not...*clears thoat*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Aya could see figurines of Kamos and herself dancing on the silver disc...on top of a red box*
FDeth: Oh! Maybe it's underground!
Arch mage144: T: You'll all have to come upstairs. *nods and points to the stairs*
Kekkou Aoshi: Up?
FDeth: ...up isn't underground....
Arch mage144: Q: *woof!*
Arch mage144: T: ...no, it isn't...
Arch mage144: IM: Boy, he's quick.
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks away quickly* Uh...yeah...
FDeth: ....but ok! n_n *goes where he is pointing*
Will Baseton: *stands* Hm...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shrugs and with a very quick blur, Shiranai is standing at the base of the stairs::
EbilRyuuzoku: *blushing slightly still and follows the others*
Arch mage144: T: *heads up the stairs, Quentin at his side*
T3chn0Namagomi: *simply stares at the figurines* IM:Dreams that have yet to die...
Will Baseton: *follows*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::he walks up with the others::
T3chn0Namagomi: *picks up the box and walks toward the stairs, keeping an eye on the figurines*
Arch mage144: *the stairs wind for a bit, going up for a while...and finally, the group arrives in a room that looks like a wizard's laboratory*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Wishes that have yet to disappear...
Kekkou Aoshi: ...o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: This is Steamland?
Arch mage144: *several very comfortable looking couches are pushed up against one of the walls*
Will Baseton: ...a laboratory...we're not gonna be test subjects, are we?
FDeth: ....yeah. I'm not very good at tests. >.>
Kekkou Aoshi: Ooh! Are you gonna analyze my brain? :D
EbilRyuuzoku: o.O *looks just plain confused*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:The contents of a shattered soul...that's what they are...
EbilRyuuzoku: You need a brain for it to be analyzed *hisses*
Arch mage144: *tables with books and trinkets strewn all over them decorate the room, and a short man with shoulder length blonde hair stands in the corner, bent over something glowing*
Kekkou Aoshi: Haha. I laugh because it is you who said that.,
Kekkou Aoshi: ^_^
Arch mage144: T: *points to the man* This is my assistant, Renard.
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: Renard.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Bows to him fakely::
Will Baseton: *nods*
Arch mage144: T: ...right. Anyway.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:My heart, my soul still longs...
Arch mage144: R: *waves at the group idly and pokes at the glowing crystal on his desk*
FDeth: ...hi!
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Nuzka...
Arch mage144: T: You're all going to have to have a seat on those couches. *nods and points*
EbilRyuuzoku: *stares at the crystal*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Nods::
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Shiney......
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Leaps and lands laying down on one of the couches, bouncing::
T3chn0Namagomi: *busy staring at the figurines some more*
Arch mage144: Q: *circles and lies down on a rug*
Will Baseton: *sighs and looks to Aya* We gonna sit?
FDeth: ..ok! *sits on a couch*
T3chn0Namagomi: *sits down on a couch, away from the pirate*
Arch mage144: *Hakaril, meanwhile, walks over wordlessly and gives Tyrane a very quizzical look, curious as to what the procedure is here*
EbilRyuuzoku: ...sit...uh? Oh yeah *sits down*
T3chn0Namagomi: *hesitantly closes the box and puts it away*
Arch mage144: T: Alright. Now...Steamtown is a thing of belief. It's Gaera's future, I know it! You'll get to live out what scholars imagine to be Gaera's future...today!
Will Baseton: *does so as well*
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow*
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: Future?
Will Baseton: ...hm.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....future? How? O.o
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:If only my dreams were reality...but they wouldn't be dreams, now would they?
T3chn0Namagomi: Temporal magic, I assume?
Arch mage144: T: But to get to Steamtown, we have to use some "unconventional" travel means. Wizards have been experimenting for a good while now, and have devised a way to make anything that can be imagined real!
Arch mage144: T: In a world as flexible as ours, belief can create reality. *grins brightly*
Will Baseton: ...that sounds dangerous. VERY dangerous.
FDeth: ....wow! So I could...like...be in a place with lots of pie? >.>
EbilRyuuzoku: O.o ...*looks really skeptical* ...um...
Kekkou Aoshi: Belief? You mean like how I believe I can move quickly? And I do?
Arch mage144: T: ...yes, in theory, you could have all the pie you want.
EbilRyuuzoku: Wouldn't that require ...mass mass amounts of magic?
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks to Hakaril hoping him to chime in with some big overblown speech on magic theory*
Arch mage144: T: Of course...but you see, it does depend largely on belief. And the reason we can do it at all is that all of you believe it, right?
T3chn0Namagomi: I don't see this actually solving anything.
Arch mage144: ...he's telling the truth, what he's saying makes sense, but only on a theoretical level that I've only studied in a cursory manner.
FDeth: Well, it solves the problem of us bein' bored. o_o
FDeth: *to Kamos*
Arch mage144: It's true that you can create things just by believing in them, if you have a strong enough will.
T3chn0Namagomi: It's almost a scientific law that none of us can get everything that we want.
Arch mage144: But it takes a VERY strong will to create some things, no matter how much you want them...
Arch mage144: ...it might be impossible to get them regardless.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Zips around the room::
Kekkou Aoshi: Strong will! ^_^
Arch mage144: T: ...sit down!
T3chn0Namagomi: e.e
Kekkou Aoshi: Eh?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....interesting....so it's uh...somewhat like conjuration magic?
T3chn0Namagomi: *sticks his foot out in hopes of tripping Shiranai*
Arch mage144: I think...?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Sits::
Arch mage144: T: Now, everyone needs to wear one of these. *Tyrane hands out what look like tiaras made of bluish crystal*
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
Arch mage144: *OK, maybe not tiaras, more like crystal headbands*
FDeth: ......preeetty...
Will Baseton: ...kinda girly.
EbilRyuuzoku: *snickers*
Kekkou Aoshi: <_< Um...well...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Lets his long white hair down::
Kekkou Aoshi: Fine.
EbilRyuuzoku: C'mon guys, get in touch with your inner woman! *takes off the one she was previously wearing and puts that one on*
FDeth: *puts it on his head, cause he isn't very reluctant about a lot of things*
T3chn0Namagomi: *glances over at Aya for a second, and then zones out again*
EbilRyuuzoku: (IE the one listed on her sheet)
FDeth: ...inner...woman? But I never ate one of those!
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Places it on his head...and somehow looks even more drow::
T3chn0Namagomi: *after putting the crystal headband over his circlet*
Will Baseton: ...my "inner woman" is traipsing around Doma right now.
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow and slips on the crystal headband/tiara-ish thing*
Will Baseton: *puts the thing on* ...
EbilRyuuzoku has left the room.
Kekkou Aoshi: I had an inner woman. It ran out on me because it was motion sick.
T3chn0Namagomi: *his eyes wander over to Aya again*
EbilRyuuzoku has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *after removing his hat, of course*
FDeth: (WB.)
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks at Pete quizzically*
EbilRyuuzoku: (Thanks)
Arch mage144: T: Okay, now. Everybody just relax...
T3chn0Namagomi: ....*eyes wander over to Aya again*
FDeth: o.o?
Arch mage144: Q: *snores*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then he looks forward and zones out*
Will Baseton: We must look really dumb...
Arch mage144: R: *chips at the crystal with a set of tools*
FDeth: *is already quite relaxed*
Will Baseton: *quiets*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Desires of the heart...harder to acquire than people think...
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh chill out Will.... *closes her eyes*
T3chn0Namagomi: *is too busy thinking about stuff to relax*
Arch mage144: T: *walks over to a large, complicated looking device made from metal and gemstones, which are probably used as focusing agents, and puts both his hands on the device*
Arch mage144: T: *seems to be concentrating...*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: More shinies...
Arch mage144: *...and the entire party's world goes black for a moment*
FDeth: IM: ....ooooh, it's like one o' those cases from the raid on th' Crowe estate in Kholingen....
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Everything...in vai....n.....
Arch mage144: *Pete is the first person to come to...*
FDeth: *...comes to?* .....o_o
Arch mage144: *...and when he does, he is standing on a cobblestone street in the middle of a town square next to a fountain that looks very much like a steam locomotive*
Arch mage144: *the others gradually come to percieve the same thing, regaining true consciousness*
FDeth: IM: ....whaz this?
T3chn0Namagomi: *comes to*...
EbilRyuuzoku: o.- ... O.o
Arch mage144: *the houses surrounding them, for want of a better word, are in a style that is very reminescent of Victorian England*
EbilRyuuzoku: ....whoah.... o_o
Will Baseton: >.> <.< Weird.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Interesting....Looks more advanced than Doma...
Kekkou Aoshi: .....E_o
EbilRyuuzoku: Wow, those houses are so...elaborate o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: More advanced than Doman housing, more elaborate and stylish than Valthi......
Kekkou Aoshi: I wouldn't want to live there...
FDeth: *walks up to a house and pokes it* o.o
Arch mage144: *people wearing very formal looking suits with top hats and ladies in very elegant, large dresses walk the streets, talking and laughing*
Arch mage144: *clothingwise, the party seems a bit out of place*
EbilRyuuzoku: And so close together too....
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Okay, ODD
Will Baseton: Talk about frumpy.
T3chn0Namagomi: Talk about civilian...
FDeth: ....frumpy is a neat word.
Arch mage144: *a rickshaw goes by, and it appears as though it's being pulled by a mechanical man or golem of some sort that gives off periodic puffs of steam*
Kekkou Aoshi: O O
Arch mage144: Very strange place. o_o
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks over the fountain/train* O.o ...what is that.....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Backs away from it::
Arch mage144: ...I have no idea?
T3chn0Namagomi: Technology is present...
FDeth: ...that's scary. o_o
Will Baseton: Well, this place is certainly a welcome relief from Malachias' castle, eh?
T3chn0Namagomi: It feels more comfortable here than before...
Arch mage144: Pretty crazy, if you ask me. I'm more curious how we got here than anything else.
EbilRyuuzoku: I wouldn't know, I never went there....
Arch mage144: *the weather is fairly mild, not too hot, not too cold, and the sun is shining*
Arch mage144: *all in all, the area has a pleasant atmosphere*
Arch mage144: I agree, Will. *nods*
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
EbilRyuuzoku: Well what is this anyways, an illusion? Dream magic? Did he toss us into a random portal?
T3chn0Namagomi: At least it's a break
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Looks around at everything::
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Feels it::
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Kekkou Aoshi: Boring! >_<
Arch mage144: *a small group of people on what look like mechanical chocobos ride past, the motorized birds clanking as they stride by*
Arch mage144: ...boring?
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
FDeth: o_o
Arch mage144: So says the psychopath. o_O
Kekkou Aoshi: Yeah...the soul of a wariior could really go out in a place like this.
EbilRyuuzoku: O.o ....metal golems? Oh wait....robots?
T3chn0Namagomi: The hell is a robot?
FDeth: ...ro...bot? o.o?
Arch mage144: ...robots?
Will Baseton: <.< Robots are more complex than these.
Kekkou Aoshi: Rarebits?>
EbilRyuuzoku: Like a metal golem, but it's not as sentinent...
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow*
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah.
FDeth: ...rabbites! n_n
Arch mage144: "Not as sentient?"
T3chn0Namagomi: Not able to think as much
EbilRyuuzoku: It's not animated or anything, they work from like...uh...weird stuff on the inside...
Arch mage144: How do they work? o_o Do you just get really unintelligent...
Arch mage144: ...what? Weird stuff?
Will Baseton: These are just mechanical constructs. Robots are more complex...
T3chn0Namagomi: He's right
Arch mage144: Well, they seem like golems of sorts.
Arch mage144: But they don't have auras. o_O
EbilRyuuzoku: Like, pieces of metal that function with each other using physics and stuff.....
T3chn0Namagomi: I've heard of vehicles being developed in Valth
Arch mage144: Scientific golems, then? *blinks at Aya*
Arch mage144: Sounds like something Chandler would be working on...
T3chn0Namagomi: Mechanical
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah, a few people in Ayenee would make them....
Arch mage144: Intriguing.
Will Baseton: Some are large enough to ride in.
FDeth: Well, they're funny lookin'. o_o
Will Baseton: I'll show you one sometime, Hakaril.
EbilRyuuzoku: o_o They are.....
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Actually...
T3chn0Namagomi: If they're similar to anything in Valth, they probably have an engine
Arch mage144: Maybe we should have a look around? I'm sure this place is bigger than this tiny square.
Kekkou Aoshi: They look powerful.
Kekkou Aoshi: I wonder how well they can fight.
EbilRyuuzoku: o_o Yeah this place I gotta see...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Rubs his chin::
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos Mazuo Death Glare at Shiranai*
EbilRyuuzoku: *starts to wander away from the square*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Realizes he's being glared at::
Arch mage144: *overhead, enormous, multi-sailed vehicles that resemble very streamlined boats sail through the skies, propellers turning*
Kekkou Aoshi: Oh, do you wanna fight too? ^_^?
FDeth: O_O
Kekkou Aoshi: Cuz...o.o
FDeth: Wow, they gots flying ships, too!
Kekkou Aoshi: O o::Looks up::
Arch mage144: 9.9 Yeah...like airships, possibly?
EbilRyuuzoku: 9.9 ....airships!
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks up*
Arch mage144: The funny thing is that I can't get an aura off of ANYTHING here...
T3chn0Namagomi: Don't look like those damn blimps
Arch mage144: ...there isn't any magic at all. o_O
Kekkou Aoshi: I know what you mean, Hakaril...
T3chn0Namagomi: Sheer technology...
Kekkou Aoshi: It feels lifeless.
Will Baseton: Not even in the people?
EbilRyuuzoku: There isn't? They probably don't use levistones then.....
Arch mage144: Well, the people have auras...but none of the golems or flying things are...
Arch mage144: And most of the people have very weak, nonmagical auras.
EbilRyuuzoku: I wonder what makes them go...
Arch mage144: ...is he suggesting magic is going to disappear in Gaera's future?
T3chn0Namagomi: It's odd....
EbilRyuuzoku: Nonmagical auras??
Arch mage144: Or that it'll be eclipsed by something else?
EbilRyuuzoku: Magic disappear?!
EbilRyuuzoku: I hope not!
Arch mage144: Yeah, none of these people are magic users. o_o It's obvious none of them can cast spells.
FDeth: ....but....what do they do, then?
Arch mage144: There have to be mages somewhere...
Arch mage144: ...that's a good question.
Kekkou Aoshi: But...elves...and dragons, and all the creatures that are magical by nature...
Kekkou Aoshi: What about them?
Arch mage144: Is it possible that...science will replace magic?
EbilRyuuzoku: .....ick....
FDeth: ....science?
EbilRyuuzoku: All those numbers.....
T3chn0Namagomi: These people seem to be...not elves or dragons...and what thehell is wrong with science?
EbilRyuuzoku: Too many numbers!
FDeth: IM: ...numbers, my nemesis!
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:These people need a damn education.
FDeth: IM: Numbers mean...like...that math...thing. o_o
Arch mage144: *actually, if one looks closely, it's possible to pick out elves and other such races among the people--the majority of the crowds are elves or humans, with a few slightly burly orcs in suits and top hats on the streets*
Kekkou Aoshi: I thought numbers were just for trade and for combat calculations.
Arch mage144: Numbers apparently have uses beyond that.
T3chn0Namagomi: (This feels like Arcanum)
T3chn0Namagomi: Apparently?
Arch mage144: Well, Chandler has said so.
T3chn0Namagomi: If this is Gaera's future....
EbilRyuuzoku: (Orcs in top hats...)
T3chn0Namagomi: I want to see Valth!
FDeth: I hear Valth is all cold and stuff.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm from Valth
EbilRyuuzoku: Ugh, I'm not sure I want to...
Arch mage144: *a man and a group of chattering ladies, one of them with a frilly pink parasol, come wandering down the street*
EbilRyuuzoku: ...this is Doma right? *walking along*
FDeth: ...and it's all cold and stuff?
Arch mage144: *suddenly, spotting the group, they stop, and the man steps forward, adjusting a monacle*
T3chn0Namagomi: *nods*
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
FDeth: *goes up closer, begins inspecting monacle*
Arch mage144: M: ...excuse me...are you all...strangers? *his voice has a slightly unusual accent, one that makes him sound just slightly snooty*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Adjusts his primitive looking glasses::
T3chn0Namagomi: Aau.
EbilRyuuzoku: >.> Yes, well somewhat.
T3chn0Namagomi: *nods*
FDeth: ...wow, it's like...glasses, but not, and someone stole half of them!
Arch mage144: M: I don't believe I've ever seen you around here.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Does his best to imitate the voice::
Kekkou Aoshi: Why yes, good sir.
Arch mage144: M: *raises an eyebrow at Pete* ...quite. *clears thoat*
Arch mage144: M: What are you doing in the city of Doma?
Arch mage144: Visiting.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ke magrahve zemuke
T3chn0Namagomi: This is Doma?
EbilRyuuzoku: Well we're travellers, so to speak....
Arch mage144: M: I'm afraid I don't speak that infernal language. *gives Kamos a look*
T3chn0Namagomi: Valthi.
EbilRyuuzoku: *small snicker*
FDeth: ....
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I wonder...
EbilRyuuzoku: Say who is the current reigning monarch?
Arch mage144: M: Just passing through, eh? *peers at Aya* Not here to visit the Doctor or anything?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Gives the ladies a smirk::
EbilRyuuzoku: Doctor?
FDeth: ..... o.o
Arch mage144: M: Monarch? Ah, Ishtar save the Queen, it's Queen Miranda.
Arch mage144: M: Widowed as of three years ago.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: I see.... IM: Wonder if that's one of my descendants...
Arch mage144: Ladies: *giggle and look at Shiranai*
EbilRyuuzoku: Who is this doctor?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Is slowly making his way toward the ladies behind him::
T3chn0Namagomi: Do you know where any weapon shops are?
Kekkou Aoshi: *the man
FDeth: *is busy musing inwardly about the style of clothing that the people have*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:I have to see this....
Arch mage144: M: You're visiting and haven't heard of him? *sounds shocked* Doctor Benevaldi is a scientist who is responsible for many of the innovations we enjoy today.
Arch mage144: M: He's created some very quaint inventions.
T3chn0Namagomi: Any new guns?
Arch mage144: Ls: *giggle more*
Arch mage144: M: ...such warmongering foreigners.
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh, I just like guns a lot
FDeth: Quaint is like...small. So invoations like that thingy? *points to the monacle*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::On the contrary, is thinking something along the lines of 'make love, not war'::
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Interesting....
EbilRyuuzoku: Where do we find this doctor?
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
Kekkou Aoshi: Ever met a real swordsman..? >: 1
Kekkou Aoshi: *To the women*
Arch mage144: M: ...no, he didn't invent my monacle. >_> *coughs politely* He lives in the rather large mansion down the street. Second house on the right past the grocer's, you can't miss it.
EbilRyuuzoku: Right, thank you *smiles*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Arch mage144: Ls: *murmur amongst themselves and wave*
FDeth: IM: ...can't? Sounds like a challenge, it does!
Arch mage144: o_o This place is strange.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Wide grin/smirk::
T3chn0Namagomi: *w2Will*I'm going to have to see what the hell kind of weapons they manufacture here...
Arch mage144: But I suppose it's interesting.
Kekkou Aoshi: I likw it. *__*
Kekkou Aoshi: *like
Arch mage144: Hey, Shiranai...>_>
Kekkou Aoshi: The people are...friendly.
Kekkou Aoshi: Arr?
Arch mage144: Yeah...they are.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah it is...I wonder if Miranda is one of my distant ancestors...
Will Baseton: .......
EbilRyuuzoku: Or uh....future...um....yeah.
Arch mage144: ...what are you doing, anyway? >_>;
FDeth: .....hm....
Kekkou Aoshi: Eh? Oh, just making contact with the locals.
T3chn0Namagomi: *and decides to try and sneak off in search of a weapon store*
EbilRyuuzoku: <.< .. >.> ... now which street....
Arch mage144: I think he said to follow this one.
Arch mage144: *points*
EbilRyuuzoku: ....then follow we will!
Arch mage144: ...Kamos? Where're you going?
FDeth: ...ok! *goes to follow Aya!*
T3chn0Namagomi: To look for somewhere where weapons can be bought
Kekkou Aoshi: I've never seen a doublet like that before...>:D
Arch mage144: ...one track mind...
Arch mage144: *shrugs and proceeds down the street*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Follows::
T3chn0Namagomi: *and looks around briefly for a weapon shop*
Will Baseton: *follows after his sister*
Arch mage144: M: Hmph. >.> *gives Shiranai a disdainful look and goes walking with his ladies again*
Arch mage144: *if by weapon shop you mean "gunsmith," Kamos manages to find what looks like a gunsmith's outlet*
EbilRyuuzoku: *strolls down the sheet*
Kekkou Aoshi: IM: He wants to be in pain, I think...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Hmmm....let's see here...
FDeth: *is merrily following Aya*
T3chn0Namagomi: *tries to enter*
Arch mage144: *nothing stops Kamos from entering, and he walks into the gunsmith's*
Arch mage144: *guns of all shapes and sizes hang on racks and sit under glass display cases, everything from pistols to rifles to what look like clockwork gatling guns*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and eyes all of this in awe*
EbilRyuuzoku: *street!*
T3chn0Namagomi: O.O
Kekkou Aoshi: So where are we off to again?
Arch mage144: *somewhat more bizarre devices that look like giant flashbulbs mounted on coils and short, baton-like rods are also showcased*
FDeth: ...that one house...place...that we can't miss!
Will Baseton: ...this is certainly an odd theme park.
Arch mage144: *Hakaril points* That looks like a grocery store. There's bins of fruit outside.
Kekkou Aoshi: Hmm...
Kekkou Aoshi: I'm hungry...
Kekkou Aoshi: I wonder if they take gil.
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around for the gunsmith*
Arch mage144: *the gunsmith is a well-dressed man with a handlebar moustache and a vest, and he's standing behind the counter watching Kamos*
Arch mage144: G: Ah...hello there, what can I do fer ya?
EbilRyuuzoku: Hmm, the Doctor shouldn't be so much farther off...
T3chn0Namagomi: Could I know what's for sale in here and what's merely on display?
Will Baseton: Right.
Kekkou Aoshi: Aya. <.<
Arch mage144: Maybe he's in that building that says "Residence of Doctor Benito Benevaldi, Esq."?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....what.
Kekkou Aoshi: Do I scare you?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....no.
Arch mage144: G: Everything's for sale, m'boy. *nod*
Kekkou Aoshi: Aww. Well I can live with that.
EbilRyuuzoku: e_e
Kekkou Aoshi: You're not as stuck up as I once thought.
Will Baseton: *smirks* I think you're right, Hak.
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o Yeah Hak you're probably right *sticks her tongue out at him*
EbilRyuuzoku: ....... *twitch*
Kekkou Aoshi: D'you say something, Hakky?
FDeth: ....ha, showed him! I missed it completely! n_n *smug look*
Arch mage144: ...yes, the guy lives over there. *points*
Arch mage144: ...uh...Pete, right?
Kekkou Aoshi: Oh.
Kekkou Aoshi: Alright.
T3chn0Namagomi: Well...what would this afford....*pulls out all 698 gil and his rifle*
FDeth: Yup!
Arch mage144: You know, nevermind.
FDeth: o_o *looks a bit confused*
Arch mage144: I have a feeling trying to convince you of what I was going to mention would take too much effort.
Arch mage144: Don't worry about it.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Pats Pete on the head::
Kekkou Aoshi: You're very special, yeah?
FDeth: Yeah, that's what Pervy says! n_n
Arch mage144: *an enormous steam engine sits off to the side of the Doctor's residence*
Kekkou Aoshi: IM: Pervy...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Coils::
Kekkou Aoshi: >_o
Will Baseton: Let's go in.
EbilRyuuzoku: O.o ....whoah what is that?
Kekkou Aoshi: Probably an eccentric man.
Arch mage144: *puffs of hot steam come off the device via a smokestack, whistling merrily, and cogs turn rapidly*
Will Baseton: >.> That? That's a very old steam engine...long since outdated on my world.
Kekkou Aoshi: He has weird things hanging out of his house.
Arch mage144: ...it looks fairly interesting, if you ask me.
Kekkou Aoshi: Steam engine?
Arch mage144: What's the point of having a device that makes steam? o_O
FDeth: ...they're as funny lookin' as that one chocobo. o_o
Will Baseton: It runs on hot water.
Kekkou Aoshi: Hot water?
Will Baseton: Generates power by boiling it.
Kekkou Aoshi: Wait...
EbilRyuuzoku: o.O .....really?
Arch mage144: Power? Like...what kind of power?
Kekkou Aoshi: When I hit water with my pyrokinesis...
Kekkou Aoshi: It shoots steam at me.
Kekkou Aoshi: Is that what you mean?
EbilRyuuzoku: Steam can make that big thing move?
Will Baseton: Steam power.
Will Baseton: Yeah. It makes things move.
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around the shop, looking to see what he could or couldn't afford*
Arch mage144: So...you use steam tom ove things. Right.
Will Baseton: Kinetic energy.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Wha?
Kekkou Aoshi: Connectic?
Arch mage144: G: *the gunsmith appraises Kamos' rifle* This is a nice model...can't say I've ever seen it before, but looks well made.
Arch mage144: G: You point tto something and I'll decide. *nod*
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around the shop*
Arch mage144: Anyway. If we want to see this guy, here he is. *points*
FDeth: >.> <.< *looks around for some sort of tree*
Arch mage144: *has already described what's in the shop, really*
Will Baseton: Kinetic. The energy of motion. Don't they teach you kids anything at school?
Arch mage144: *nearby there's an oak tree growing on the side of the road*
Kekkou Aoshi: School?
Kekkou Aoshi: My school was a dojo in Nekonia.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah I know what that is *huffs*
FDeth: T2oak: ....hey, does water actually make that big thing move? >.>
Arch mage144: Oak: ...*stirs, yawning*
Kekkou Aoshi: Well in order to make steam it has to be very hot.
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks at some of the larger guns*
Kekkou Aoshi: So...::Tries to feel its heat::
FDeth: o.o ...
Arch mage144: O: *in a very panicked sounding voice* HOLY COMPOST, IT TALKS!
EbilRyuuzoku: (XD)
FDeth: T2oak: ...wait, so people don't talk to trees here?
Arch mage144: O: People talk!?
Arch mage144: O: I thought they just made crazy animal noises at each other!
Arch mage144: O: ...wow, an intelligent human!
FDeth: T2O: Yeah! They talk all the time, just not usually to trees. :(
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks at the flashbulb with the coil* What is this thing?
Arch mage144: O: ...well, I certainly can't understand them.
EbilRyuuzoku: (XD)
FDeth: T2O: Yeah, lot's o' people are funny like that.
EbilRyuuzoku: *pokes the steam engine*
Kekkou Aoshi: 'Ey...Pete?
Will Baseton: Don't touch that, sis! You'll burn yourself!
Kekkou Aoshi: What are you doing?
FDeth: ....eh? Oh, I'm talkin' to the tree over there! *points* n_n
Kekkou Aoshi: ...The tree/
FDeth: Apparently, people dun talk to them anymore. o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: *?
EbilRyuuzoku: Burn myself? Bah! Nothing burns me!
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Oh, a druid?
Arch mage144: G: That's a shock cannon! It uses energy stored in a wet-cell battery to generate electrical blasts from those coils. *points*
Arch mage144: Don't talk to trees? o_o No druids anymore, either?
EbilRyuuzoku: Talk to them? Well there probably aren't any druids around...
T3chn0Namagomi: Woah....how powerful are these blasts?
FDeth: ...uh...yeah! n_n
Arch mage144: ...wow, the future is kind of strange.
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Thinks to himself::
EbilRyuuzoku: The future is kinda dull if you ask me...no magic....where's the excitement...
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Heeeyyyyy...
Kekkou Aoshi: >: ]
Kekkou Aoshi: If they don't know magic...
Kekkou Aoshi: We could shoooow them.
EbilRyuuzoku: *pokes the engine*
Arch mage144: G: Strong enough to knock a man on his arse with one blast, and if you're crazy enough to need to kill the fellow, just keep shooting. Shouldn't take that much longer.
Kekkou Aoshi: IM: Ahh, the chaos...
EbilRyuuzoku: ....nooo, Shiranai.
T3chn0Namagomi: Woah.
FDeth: ...well, then we could go home and be famous!
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then looks at the chaingun*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hello...what are you?
Kekkou Aoshi: Yeah! It'd be fun.
Arch mage144: *the "chaingun" actually looks more like a very, very heavy mass of gears and other clockwork parts with a rotating barrel setup*
FDeth: Fun is why we're here, right?
T3chn0Namagomi: *and Kamos looks like a kid in a candy story...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *store
Arch mage144: G: It's an automatic artillery gun. Probably a little large to carry in your pocket. *chuckle*
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh.
EbilRyuuzoku: Fun from a psychopath isn't the same thing >.>
Kekkou Aoshi: Indeed.
Will Baseton: Shall we go in?
T3chn0Namagomi: *tries to lift it*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::A red orb of heat appears in his hand::
T3chn0Namagomi: I could possibly sling this to the back of my coat.
Arch mage144: *Kamos strains himself a bit trying to lift the clockwork gatling gun*
T3chn0Namagomi: Or maybe not....
Arch mage144: *it's obvious that it was meant to be used on vehicles, most likely*
EbilRyuuzoku: .....NO. Stop that now... *forms an ext ball in her hand*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:YEESH that's heavy....
Arch mage144: You two stop that!
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Let's just forget that for the moment....
Arch mage144: ...ordinarily, I wouldn't discourage the use of magic...
Will Baseton: Yeah, calm down!
Arch mage144: ...but let's not fuck with it right now.
Will Baseton: Let's just go into the guy's house.
Arch mage144: There's a risk of really screwing things up.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah....huh?
Arch mage144: *knocks on the Doc's door*
Kekkou Aoshi: e___e Fine...
EbilRyuuzoku: What do you mean by that Hak?
Arch mage144: I'll explain later.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Swallows the ball and a single whisp of smoke comes out::
T3chn0Namagomi: That's apparently not going to be something for me to use. *snickers*
T3chn0Namagomi: Not right now, anyway.
FDeth: IM: ....oh....screwing things up is bad.
T3chn0Namagomi: *examines the batons next* And what are these?
EbilRyuuzoku: *waits at the door*
FDeth: o_o
Arch mage144: G: That's what we call a "shocking nancy." Won't kill, so it's great for self-defense. They generate up to 40,000 volts of electrical power to incapacitate a target!
T3chn0Namagomi: *looking as if he's in heaven and seeing everything* Holy shiiit....
T3chn0Namagomi: That's a lot of volts
Arch mage144: *the door is answered by a man with greying hair, complete with a very grandfatherly looking beard*
Arch mage144: *his face is wrinkled and whatnot, betraying his age*
FDeth: *waves* Hiiii~! n_n
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then takes a closer look at the rifles*
Kekkou Aoshi: Hellooo. o.o
Arch mage144: M: Hello there...are you looking for Doctor Benevaldi?
EbilRyuuzoku: *nods* We are....
Will Baseton: ......
Kekkou Aoshi: That we are.
FDeth: ..I think so?
Arch mage144: *most of the rifles appear to be fairly standard, at least, compared to what Kamos is used to--they aren't actually that much more advanced than Valthi rifles*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm...seem to be the same makes as mine
T3chn0Namagomi: Or similar
Arch mage144: B: Then you've come to the right place. I'm the Doctor. *he smiles in a very patronizing manner* Come in, come in, have some tea!
Kekkou Aoshi: Tea!
Kekkou Aoshi: :D
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Comes in:;
FDeth: ...oh, tea!
Will Baseton: Excellent.
Arch mage144: Sounds...good, actually.
FDeth: They stil have tea here, not like magic or druids! n_n
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then examines the pistols, to see whether or not they're of similar or superior make to the Valthi models*
FDeth: *goes in*
EbilRyuuzoku: *follows* He's very polite....
Will Baseton: *nods and follows*
Arch mage144: *the pistols, on the other hand, seem to be very well made as far as materials go, and despite having an almost antiquated look to them, they appear to be more advanced than common Valthi handguns*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Holy FUCK.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:They haven't been slacking off with the pistols
Arch mage144: *a butler-looking person pours several cups of tea and departs, carrying the pot on a silver platter*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:These look like superior models
Will Baseton: Tea...
Arch mage144: *the Doctor seats himself and takes a teacup, sipping at it*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Looks at the tea wistfully::
Will Baseton: *takes one as well*
T3chn0Namagomi: So, how much does that shock cannon do?
EbilRyuuzoku: So *takes a teacup*
EbilRyuuzoku: Hows the future?
T3chn0Namagomi: *cost
Arch mage144: *the room is clearly filled with books and journals, which line the shelves*
FDeth: *procures a cup*
Arch mage144: (BAD METAGAMER.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Sorry!)
EbilRyuuzoku: (XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Slip of the tongue, damnit!)
Arch mage144: G: Hmm...well, for this rifle model here...and your money...sure, you'd have yourself a deal.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Sniffs the tea, then sips it::
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Makes a weird face::
Arch mage144: G: 500 gil, plus your rifle.
Arch mage144: B: So. What're you folks here for, exactly?
T3chn0Namagomi: Wait...how long does the battery last?
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks for a seat*
EbilRyuuzoku: Just seeing what the "future" looks like.
Arch mage144: G: It can be replaced. I'll throw in directions as to how to make your own, if you'll chip in another 100 gil.
Arch mage144: B: Excuse me? *raises an eyebrow*
T3chn0Namagomi: DEAL!
Will Baseton: Well, we're here on vacation.
EbilRyuuzoku: Well it's the present to you but the future to us.
T3chn0Namagomi: *hands the rifle, and 600 Gil over to the man*
Kekkou Aoshi: We're having fun, is all I know. e_e
Arch mage144: *the gunsmith unlocks the glass display case and produces the coil-lamp-and-battery apparatus, handing the lightning blaster to Kamos*
Arch mage144: G: Now don't go getting into trouble.
Arch mage144: G: *wink*
T3chn0Namagomi: I won't.
T3chn0Namagomi: And...what about the instructions?
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes the blaster carefully, handling it as if it were a delicate thing*
EbilRyuuzoku: Surely the thought of time travel has occured to you right?
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: .....that is what we did right? I'm confused now...
Kekkou Aoshi: Uh...
Kekkou Aoshi: Aya?
EbilRyuuzoku: ...yeah?
Kekkou Aoshi: I don't think they know anything about it.
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh come on, people wonder about it all the time.....
Arch mage144: (*points Nama to the OOC chat*)
Will Baseton: All we know is that we were transported here.
Kekkou Aoshi: Or about the land whence we travelled many miles. >_>
Arch mage144: G: *scribbles on a piece of paper with a fountain pen and hands it to Kamos*
EbilRyuuzoku: Shir, this IS Doma, just Doma in the future...
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Arch mage144: B: ...time travel?
Arch mage144: B: Time travel is impossible.
Arch mage144: B: I've studied it. *sips tea*
Arch mage144: Well...not impossible...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Whispers in her ear:: If magic was bad, maybe telling him about all this is bad too.
Will Baseton: Well, we are in Doma, correct?
Arch mage144: B: Of course it's impossible! It defies the laws of science!
Arch mage144: B: Yes, of course. *blinks* This is the city of Doma.
EbilRyuuzoku: Perhaps using a scientific means....
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* I'm sure they won't go nuts or something, this world can't be completely devoid of magic...
Will Baseton: All right...hm. Well then...why has magic faded?
Arch mage144: B: Ah, magic, the stuff of the past...a memory, really.
Arch mage144: B: Man no longer needs magic!
Kekkou Aoshi: You were saying, Aya?
Arch mage144: ...*stunned silence*
Will Baseton: If magic's gone...what about elves, dragons, and the like?
Will Baseton: Have they faded with it?
Arch mage144: B: The elves still exist, of course. They are a proud race that will most likely never die out.
FDeth: ....I need magic. o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: Damn straight!
EbilRyuuzoku: o_o ....no one here can use magic, you all have really weak auras....
Arch mage144: B: And the dragons? Quite possibly hunted to extinction...though I can't say for sure.
Arch mage144: B: Some may still exist, somewhere.
EbilRyuuzoku: .....hunted???
Will Baseton: ...hmph.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Hmh?
EbilRyuuzoku: Then...what's the Queen?
Arch mage144: B: What's the Queen? Why, a human, of course.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....human?!
FDeth: ....a.....uh....oh. o_o
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O Holy shit what happened to my offspring?!
Will Baseton: All right then, what year is this?
Arch mage144: B: ...your offspring?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Kekkou Aoshi: >_> <_<
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Great going, Aya.
EbilRyuuzoku: The Domandas!
FDeth: ....
Arch mage144: B: The year is 1653, my lady.
Arch mage144: *sir
Arch mage144: B: And as for the Domanda family, they abdicated the throne years ago.
EbilRyuuzoku: That's....roughly 300 years or something....
Kekkou Aoshi: ( Will: Ok, enough of the lady thing! She's gone! []
EbilRyuuzoku: Abdictated?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....why? O.o
Arch mage144: B: Personal reasons, I suppose.
Kekkou Aoshi: Hm...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I must get fed up with it...
Kekkou Aoshi: Tell me...about Nekonia.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Well I sure as hell ain't rulling a country for 300 years
Will Baseton: Well then, what about Prince William? What became of him?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....Will you're not my son >_>;
Arch mage144: B: Nekonia? Ah, the Nekonians are doing quite well, I assure you.
FDeth: o_o ...
Kekkou Aoshi: Well that's good.
Will Baseton: Charles said I'm a prince.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....that makes you sound like you're my son!
Arch mage144: B: They've developed marvelous things, making tremendous advances in the field of clockwork mechnics!
FDeth: *is a bit confused looking*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Did they, now?
Kekkou Aoshi: And what of their martial combat?
Will Baseton: Just remember, Aya, this is only a possible future.
Arch mage144: B: And of course, Nekonian machinists have been working on prototypes of steamtek...er?
Kekkou Aoshi: Their combative forms.
EbilRyuuzoku: o____o This future seems so grim...
Arch mage144: B: Martial combat? My, why would they pursue such things? I suppose, perhaps, from a cultural heritage and tradtion standpoint they might be important...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: How do we shut this thing off?
Will Baseton: Everything we learn here is a thing that COULD have happened had we not viewed this timeline beforehand. Now that we have seen the future, this timeline...will be deleted.
Arch mage144: B: Have any of you ever seen an analytical engine before? *curious eyebrow raise*
Kekkou Aoshi: Analytical engine?
Will Baseton: Hold it...what happened to William Baseton? Surely you've heard of him.
FDeth: ....wow, that's a big word. o_o
Arch mage144: B: William who?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Begins absently performing non-threatening kata from his own form::
EbilRyuuzoku: No we haven't...
EbilRyuuzoku: I'm so confused...
Will Baseton: He was a royal figure at the time of Queen Aya Mythril-Domanda, her brother.
Arch mage144: B: Well, then. Perhaps you'd like to see them? They are a triumph of man, and you seem somewhat ignorant of the present day's accomplishments...
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes the figure*
Will Baseton: IM: Triumph of man...we could do all that...and better.
T3chn0Namagomi: And, well....wait.
T3chn0Namagomi: I also have this shotgun
T3chn0Namagomi: *paper
Arch mage144: *leans across the table* ...you're telling me that in 300 years, magic is going to be obsolete, people will turn their backs on the fundamentals of the human will, and everything is going to be made of metal?
Arch mage144: G: ...very nice. What about it?
FDeth: ....
Arch mage144: B: Well...erm...
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, what would it be worth?
Will Baseton: ...strange how the passage of time seems to affect every world in a similar fashion.
Will Baseton: Perhaps magic is meant to be lost...
FDeth: ...no it isn't. >.>
Arch mage144: G: *thinks* Seems interesting...do you see something else you'd like?
T3chn0Namagomi: One of those pistols
EbilRyuuzoku: It better not be!
Kekkou Aoshi: Oh well...My abilities aren't really magic anyway....I think...?
Arch mage144: G: You've got yourself a deal. Which one? *points* This one fires magnum rounds, this one uses needle-like impaling spikes, this model uses musket balls...
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm....what's the difference?
Will Baseton: *sighs* Looks like I'm not gonna be important, eh Aya?
Arch mage144: G: All up to the consumer. *chuckles*
Arch mage144: B: ...*rolls his eyes*
EbilRyuuzoku: *sighs* Will is fame all you care about?
Will Baseton: *grins* Then again...
Arch mage144: B: I take it this means that none of you want to see my inventions. >_>
T3chn0Namagomi: Man, what a choice, what a choice.....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Raises his hand::
Will Baseton: Well, I guess I could take a look, sir.
Arch mage144: B: Come with me. *nod*
FDeth: >.>
Will Baseton: Maybe I can borrow some ideas.
Arch mage144: *stands up, looking somewhat distraught*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Lays his hands on Hak's shoulders::
Arch mage144: *a clockwork butler picks up the teacups and carries them off on a tray*
Arch mage144: ...don't touch me, psychopath.
FDeth: *just like Hak, but with less "distraught" and more "confused"*
T3chn0Namagomi: Man....okay...I'll take the...one with what seems to be armor piercing ammunition
Kekkou Aoshi: It's ok, Hak...
Arch mage144: ...*silent*
T3chn0Namagomi: The spike-firing one
Kekkou Aoshi: I have a feeling we'll do fine without magic, as hard as it is to believe...
Arch mage144: G: Very well. *pulls it out...it's a long barreled pistol, made of black metal that looks almost like cast iron, with a wooden handle like an antique*
Will Baseton: *follows the Doc calmly*
T3chn0Namagomi: *hands over the shotgun for it*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Walks with them::
Arch mage144: G: *flicks open a chamber on the side and illustrates how to load it with needle cartridges*
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah.....niiice...
Will Baseton: So you're an inventor, eh>
Will Baseton: ?*
T3chn0Namagomi: I honestly don't know how to thank you enough
Arch mage144: B: Yes. And a researcher. *opens a door...revealing a room that is mostly completely filled by what looks like a giant almost abacus-ish device with lots of gears and other mechanical parts*
Will Baseton: *nods* Then we have one thing in common. I've developed a few inventions in my day...
FDeth: ....that's big. *in awe, and stuff*
EbilRyuuzoku: *blank stare*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...What thee...?
Arch mage144: B: This, my friends, is my analytical engine. It's capable of doing complex calculations using punch cards and mechanical manipulations!
EbilRyuuzoku: ....what the hell is that?
Will Baseton: ...it's a computer.
Arch mage144: B: This is only the first step! I'm working on a prototype smaller version.
Kekkou Aoshi: Computer? Something that computes?
Arch mage144: A WHAT, Will?
Will Baseton: A very primitive one...
Kekkou Aoshi: Cute name, Will?
Kekkou Aoshi: *.
Will Baseton: On Draco...this is an experimental technological breakthrough.
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes the pistol after watching how to load it*
Arch mage144: ...what in the name of the Great Lord Agnostic is a computer? Isn't a computer someone who figures things out, or calculates them?
FDeth: ....
FDeth: Oh, with numbers!
Will Baseton: I've seen a fully functional one on Earth, though...it's...basically a box that contains information.
Arch mage144: ...like a book?
Will Baseton: Like a library the size of a dictionary.
Arch mage144: So it's a book crossed with a bag of holding?
Kekkou Aoshi: But...how does it fot that much info in one little place?
Will Baseton: ...that runs on electricity.
Kekkou Aoshi: *fit
Arch mage144: Portable dimensions, probably.
Kekkou Aoshi: Eletricity?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Arch mage144: Like lightning bolts.
Kekkou Aoshi: But I thought you said no magic.
EbilRyuuzoku: o_O
Arch mage144: ...it must run on steam power, or whatever.
Arch mage144: B: Very good!
Will Baseton: ...think of it this way, Hak.
Will Baseton: The best I can do for you is this.
Will Baseton: Can I have a piece of paper and a pen, Doctor?
Arch mage144: B: ...if you want to do math, we have an analytical engine.
Will Baseton: I want to draw something.
T3chn0Namagomi: I don't know how to thank you enough....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Stands beside Aya::
Kekkou Aoshi: ...So this is the future?
Arch mage144: *sighs, and not caring what anyone thinks, waves his hands a bit while focusing*
Kekkou Aoshi: Er...a future?
Arch mage144: *conjures up a paper and pen*
Arch mage144: B: *stares in awe*
FDeth: ....
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes the pistol*
Will Baseton: *takes them and draws something that looks somewhat like an iMac, for OOC people's reference, with labels on specific parts* This is a computer. I saw one on Earth once.
Arch mage144: *Kamos has one more gun!*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Kekkou Aoshi: It's a box.
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
FDeth: ...it
FDeth: s a bubble. o_o
Will Baseton: Right. But when you turn it on, the screen displays worlds of information.
EbilRyuuzoku: O.o ...it's a crystal box!
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Hm...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Thinks::
Arch mage144: ...a bubble box that displays information?
Kekkou Aoshi: Back in Nekonia...
Arch mage144: I bet I could make something like that.
Arch mage144: ...with magic, obviously.
Arch mage144: B: Are you an actual mage? *blinks at Hakaril curiously*
Will Baseton: Next time I go to Draco, I'll show you the prototype. The best invention I have is this. *he reaches into his pocket and pulls out what looks like a streamlined, silver gun* This is my Gene Splicer. It's been broken since I got
Will Baseton: here on Gaera.
EbilRyuuzoku: Of course he is! He's Hakaril Silvar, Archmage of Gunnir!
Arch mage144: ...what the fuck is that?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Gene splicer?
FDeth: o.o
Kekkou Aoshi: Jin?
Will Baseton: It's like a gun...that shoots polymorph magic.
Arch mage144: B: Archmage? ...I've heard of the archmagi of the past.
Kekkou Aoshi: You mean it splices men?
Arch mage144: ...CRAZY.
Arch mage144: B: They were apparently noble men who accomplished great things.
Will Baseton: *pockets the Splicer*
Arch mage144: B: ...but the power to do great things was collected in the hands of a select few. *eyes narrow a tiny bit*
FDeth: >.>
EbilRyuuzoku: ....what are you talking about?
Kekkou Aoshi: Well hai...afterall, power is about how you use it, not what you can do.
Arch mage144: B: Now, everyone can do great things...not just those born with special talents.
T3chn0Namagomi: *pockets the Needlegun*
Arch mage144: B: That is the power of science.
T3chn0Namagomi: Thanks a ton...
Arch mage144: G: Thank you. *grins*
Arch mage144: ...*raises an eyebrow*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and walks out of the gun store, HAPPY*
T3chn0Namagomi: ^.^
Will Baseton: ...just wait until the first retrovirus weapon is developed, doctor.
Arch mage144: B: Magic is forgotten because it is...tyranny.
T3chn0Namagomi: My new guns.....
Kekkou Aoshi: ( OMFG!! Nam is happy! )
Will Baseton: Then you'll be praying you had magic to help...
FDeth: ...no it isn't!
Arch mage144: B: Magic begets tyranny!
Will Baseton: And science begets absolute destruction.
FDeth: Magic is like...the stuff that lets me do stuff. o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: Power begets tyrnanny, period.
EbilRyuuzoku: .....Wow. The future sucks....
Arch mage144: B: Elitism, war, and a dominant upper class...all things of the past.
Arch mage144: B: Silence, you.
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks for the Doctor's place*
Arch mage144: *It doesn't take too long to find it*
T3chn0Namagomi: ^.^
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then enters*
Kekkou Aoshi: It seems to me when everyone has power, but pretends to be satisfied with everything, chaos is actually running rampant and waiting to unleash///
Will Baseton: IM: This is an odd little vacation...I'm starting to dislike it very much.
Kekkou Aoshi: *...
Will Baseton: I have a question, sir.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Crosses his arms::
Arch mage144: B: ...yes?
Will Baseton: If a dragon were to pop up in the countryside, what would be the reaction?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...>_>
Kekkou Aoshi: IM: Fun ...?
Arch mage144: B: Why, they would be immediately exterminated. Dragons are dangerous creatures.
FDeth: ... O_O
Arch mage144: ...where are your history books? Is there a library somewhere where I can get a copy of them?
FDeth: But...dragons are neat!
Arch mage144: I have some reading to do.
Will Baseton: Aya, we're leaving.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....a dragon was the queen of doma! I'm the Queen of Doma!
EbilRyuuzoku: I agree, I want out of this place >.<
Kekkou Aoshi: Just...forget about it, Aya.
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks for the group*
Kekkou Aoshi: And...::End crosses his mind for a second::
Arch mage144: B: You are not the Queen of Doma, her Highness Queen Miranda, Ishtar save, is.
Kekkou Aoshi: What of moogles?
Arch mage144: B: What in the world is a moogle?
FDeth: ....
FDeth: ....wait....
Kekkou Aoshi: ...I see.
FDeth: Ye can trust in Ishtar an' hate magic? o.o?
Kekkou Aoshi: IM: Probably hiding somewhere. Smart ones.
Arch mage144: *a robotic butler guides the other funny dressed visitor upstairs to the others*
Arch mage144: B: God is not magic. Besides, god is a formality.
Kekkou Aoshi: Also, I haven't seen much in the way of swords around.
Kekkou Aoshi: Are they even used at all?
FDeth: ...... O_O *shocl!*
Arch mage144: B: Swords? Obsolete.
FDeth: shock^
Kekkou Aoshi: WANNA BET!!
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Seems excited suddenly::
Arch mage144: B: Haven't been used for nearly...a hundred and fifty years.
Arch mage144: B: ...no.
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around for the party*
Will Baseton: Let's go, now.
Arch mage144: *Kamos is guided to the same room as the party*
Arch mage144: ...I want to see your books.
Arch mage144: B: Downstairs. Go right ahead. *nod*
Will Baseton: I've heard enough. Hakaril, you're coming too.
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks in, very happy* ^.^
Arch mage144: *Hak walks off, waving dismissively at Will*
FDeth: ... O_O
Kekkou Aoshi: Let him look Will. -_- ::Breathing heavier::
FDeth: *is still in shock*
Kekkou Aoshi: *mutter* Swords...obsolete...PAH.
T3chn0Namagomi: New guns! ^.^
Kekkou Aoshi: Actually, I'm curious too...
Arch mage144: B: ...perhaps you should all get going. The hours tick by rapidly, and you must have much better things to do, as tourists.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Follows Hak::
T3chn0Namagomi: New Wonderful Guns! ^.^
Arch mage144: *downstairs, Hakaril has found the Doctor's library and torn it up in search of a history textbook*
FDeth: .... O_O *follows as well, and stuff*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Anything of interest? ::Comes up to him::
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I don't want to go near that library but... *sighs and follows*
Will Baseton: *walks up to Hak* Am I in the books?
Will Baseton: Or sis?
Arch mage144: *and having found one, he rifles through it*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Looks::
Arch mage144: ...1311, Queen Aya Mythril-Domanda and King Charles Domanda...daughter Elle...*nods*
EbilRyuuzoku: Well there's me...
T3chn0Namagomi: *runs downstairs*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm?
Arch mage144: 1340, Doma-Riva border clash. King Charles dies in a skirmish with the Rivan army.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Holy...
T3chn0Namagomi: ^.^
Will Baseton: Hmph.
T3chn0Namagomi: New guns new guns!
Arch mage144: 1342, Riva surrenders to Doma after the capital is conquered.
Will Baseton: Woo hoo.
FDeth: ....
Arch mage144: *read read*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey, Will, did I miss anything?
EbilRyuuzoku: Charles died....
Kekkou Aoshi: Any news of a half drow? :B
Arch mage144: ...1384...holy...
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
EbilRyuuzoku: ,o__o, ...what?
Will Baseton: What happened then?
Arch mage144: ...overthrow of Doman monarchy in the "People's Revolution."
EbilRyuuzoku: .....WHAT?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Who led it...
Kekkou Aoshi: ( Surprise us )
Arch mage144: Chaos ensued for the next three years, the previous royal family was exiled, all the Doman family friends were as well.
FDeth: (A pirate by the name of "One-eyed" Pete!)
Will Baseton: Who led the revolt?
Arch mage144: ...revolution was led by...someone I haven't ever heard of before, name being Gerevene Pirota.
EbilRyuuzoku: ........ the people rebelled against their leaders?! Against ME?
Kekkou Aoshi: Hmm...
EbilRyuuzoku: Gerevene Pirota?
Will Baseton: Anything at all said about me?
T3chn0Namagomi: ^.^ New guns...
Arch mage144: Yeah, if you're stil alive in 1384, you got thrown out.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I doubt I'm in the books
Will Baseton: Same with you...
Arch mage144: 1399, presumed last dragon in Doma is killed by hunters, dragons effectively become extinct.
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
Will Baseton: ...bastards.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Er...Aya.
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O
FDeth: ...do I become all exiled an' stuff? o.o?
Kekkou Aoshi: I wonder if you weren't just exiled.
Will Baseton: *twitches* Humans...
Arch mage144: 1401, Second Doma-Nekonia War.
Will Baseton: That's IT. We're out of here.
T3chn0Namagomi: Humans are fools...
Kekkou Aoshi: <_<
Arch mage144: ...Great Lord Agnostic, what the hell...
T3chn0Namagomi: Wait, Will!
Will Baseton: Put the damn book down, Hakaril.
Arch mage144: *keeps flipping*
Kekkou Aoshi: Doma-Nekonian war?
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh Ceiphied.... O_O
T3chn0Namagomi: If this is the future
Will Baseton: We're going to cause a paradox!
FDeth: ....paradox.... >.>
Kekkou Aoshi: I'd probably still be alive...
EbilRyuuzoku: This place...this place is terrible! This can't be our future! It can't be!
T3chn0Namagomi: Paradox?
Kekkou Aoshi: And I'd probably fight for Nekonia....
Arch mage144: Er...this is intriguing. In a very nasty way...
EbilRyuuzoku: I can't let this happen...we have to go back!
Arch mage144: 1557...the Gunnir Mage Academy is finally torn to the ground by protestors.
FDeth: ....
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: .....
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Not like that matters to me
Will Baseton: Aya, if we tell anyone of this...we'll cause time to break again.
Arch mage144: And in 1558, Gunnir's ruins are cleared to begin the building of a foundation for the arts.
Arch mage144: All through the 1550's, mages were persecuted by "the common man."
Will Baseton: Just like the witch hunts.
Arch mage144: Apparently, jealousy of those who possessed magical aptitude sprung to an all-time high.
Arch mage144: ...well of course they're jealous.
Arch mage144: They should be.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Guys, it's not like all of this is a far-fetched future.
T3chn0Namagomi: Or superstitious
Kekkou Aoshi: Though things may happen differently I would think many of the events would carry out similarly.
EbilRyuuzoku: This place is terrible....
Will Baseton: ...they killed all of our kind. I'll never forgive them for this. Let's get the fuck out of here before I start setting houses on fire.
Arch mage144: Apparently, according to the history books, MAGI are extinct, too.
Arch mage144: ...but...let's think about something.
Arch mage144: The history books are written by those who want to control information.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah, yes.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....history books lie all the time, trust me on this.
T3chn0Namagomi: Apparently not unlike Valth
EbilRyuuzoku: They're nothing but propaganda...
Will Baseton: ...this is true.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Lay in a pile of books::
T3chn0Namagomi: Or so I've heard
Arch mage144: There could still be magi alive. Or dragons, for that matter. They just don't want people to even consider their possibility of existing.
Will Baseton: However, I have yet to feel the auras of any dragons nearby.
Will Baseton: What about Bahamut? Did they kill HIM too?
FDeth: ...well, are we gonna look for them, or find a way to go gome, or what?
T3chn0Namagomi: i've heard from a group of people that the Valthi government actually controls what is said....
T3chn0Namagomi: And not said
Arch mage144: *flips through the book some more, coming to the recent inventions of the steam engine and the analytical engine, as well as dirigibles, the development of ether theory and ether fliers, and advanced clockworks*
EbilRyuuzoku: We have to get out of here...
Arch mage144: ...according to this, man has traveled in space.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Space?
T3chn0Namagomi: O.o
Kekkou Aoshi: What's that?
Will Baseton: ...uh...that's not too far-fetched.
T3chn0Namagomi: Beyond the sky
FDeth: .....space? Like, in a box?
Arch mage144: And there is an enormous artificial moon made of brick orbiting the planet now.
Will Baseton: I've done it myself before...
EbilRyuuzoku: ....what? Why would they make a fake moon?
T3chn0Namagomi: This is getting freaky, even for me
Arch mage144: ...space, like...er...you know...above the...er...
T3chn0Namagomi: What the hell happened to Valth, anyway
T3chn0Namagomi: ?
Arch mage144: Uh...they left Gaera.
EbilRyuuzoku: Left Gaera? Where did they go?
FDeth: ....but Gaera is nice. o_o
Arch mage144: Valth...appears to have survived, really. This isn't a book of Valthi history. Very little has been said.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah.
Arch mage144: ...well, men have apparently walked on Gaera's moon.
Arch mage144: And now Gaera has another moon. "A triumph of science."
T3chn0Namagomi: Okay, I am a little freaked out by this
T3chn0Namagomi: A second moon....
Will Baseton: Hakaril, put the book down, please.
Will Baseton: You're going to cause a paradox with all this information.
Arch mage144: *continues flipping until he comes to the index* Yeah...wait, what's this?
Kekkou Aoshi: ....
T3chn0Namagomi: *starts to leave*
Arch mage144: *on the last page of the book, there seems to be some sort of dedication*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o....
T3chn0Namagomi: *stops*
T3chn0Namagomi: What's what?
FDeth: o_o
Arch mage144: *reads aloud* "To my good friend, Queen Aya Mythril-Domanda, I dedicate the most glorious pattern of existence I can possibly imagine."
Arch mage144: "May your future be as bright as mine."
EbilRyuuzoku: ......w.....what?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....who wrote that?!
T3chn0Namagomi: ......
Will Baseton: Huh? And who's the book by?
FDeth: ...wait, isn't she s'pose ta be dead or somthin'?
Arch mage144: *the page blackens in patches, the patches slowly growing and joining together to form what looks like a rune*
T3chn0Namagomi: *turns around to leave, again.*
EbilRyuuzoku: If I was exiled....I would most likely go back to where I came from.....if anything....
EbilRyuuzoku: o___o ....what's it doing?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Blinks at it, then takes a step away::
Will Baseton: ...a rune...
T3chn0Namagomi: *turns around*
Arch mage144: *Aya very faintly remembers seeing a rune just like it on the wall in Tyrane's tower*
Arch mage144: A rune. *blinks*
EbilRyuuzoku: ...that....was from earlier....
T3chn0Namagomi: A rune?
Arch mage144: Earlier? *raises an eyebrow*
EbilRyuuzoku: In that guy's tower.....
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks in*
Will Baseton: ...hey...she's right...
EbilRyuuzoku: Maybe that'll let us go back!
Arch mage144: ...you saw this rune in the tower?
FDeth: *follows suit* ...a rune! n_n
Arch mage144: ...*pokes at it* There is a problem with that.
Arch mage144: ...it's a rune...but it isn't magical.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Kekkou Aoshi: Well...
Arch mage144: So it's just for decoration.
Kekkou Aoshi: He did say something about...force of will...
Arch mage144: ...wait. It's a mage's signature. THAT's what it's for.
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Kekkou Aoshi: ...HE made all thi9s?
Kekkou Aoshi: *this
EbilRyuuzoku: ...so a MAGE wrote that book?
FDeth: ...but...there are no mages. o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: No official
Will Baseton: I get it now...
Arch mage144: Yeah, no mages, yet...
Arch mage144: What, Will?
Will Baseton: He wrote this book in our time.
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow*
Will Baseton: Those tiaras amplified our beliefs in his power...and caused this world to become real, straight from the pages of the book.
Kekkou Aoshi: He...by writing this book, he made it happen?
Arch mage144: ...Great Lord Agnostic.
EbilRyuuzoku: ......but why would he make all that bad stuff happen?!
Will Baseton: Remember? If you believe strongly enough in something, it becomes real?
Will Baseton: ...had to make it realistic, sis.
Will Baseton: If not, we would've figured it out earlier.
EbilRyuuzoku: Ceiphied... *looks for a place to sit down*
EbilRyuuzoku: So we just stop believing and go back now right?
T3chn0Namagomi: You mean....I don't get my new guns.....
FDeth: .....
Arch mage144: *focusing*
FDeth: ...but, it gots to be real...it's all so....real-like. o_o
Arch mage144: ...I can't tell the difference between this and reality. So...isn't this technically reality?
EbilRyuuzoku: >___< IM: Notrealnotrealnotreal....
Arch mage144: The trick is how to make it stop...
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Ya know...
Arch mage144: (And Aya effectively fails a "disbelieve illusion" check. *laughs*)
Kekkou Aoshi: This means we can mess things up without worrying about it...
Kekkou Aoshi: >:D
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:I don't want to lose these technological masterpieces....
Arch mage144: ...that's ONE way to look at it.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::His hands begin glowing red::
Arch mage144: B: ...are you all STILL here?
Arch mage144: B: *standing on the steps, looking down*
EbilRyuuzoku: <V< *glare* It's not like I want to be!
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm leaving...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Points one of his hands at the man::
Kekkou Aoshi: Tell us...
T3chn0Namagomi: *starts to walk towards the exit*
Arch mage144: B: *eyes widen*
Kekkou Aoshi: Do you remember your childhood? Do all of your memories and emotions seem real?
Kekkou Aoshi: Do you feel...alive?
Arch mage144: B: What a ridiculous question!
FDeth: ....
Arch mage144: B: I'm as alive as you are!
Kekkou Aoshi: Ohoho.
Kekkou Aoshi: I'm curious to see...
Will Baseton: What was your grandmother's maiden name?
Arch mage144: B: ...get out of my house, or I'm calling law enforcement. *narrows his eyes at Shiranai*
Arch mage144: (BRB one sec)
Kekkou Aoshi: ( k )
FDeth: ....law enforcement...like...the guards?
EbilRyuuzoku: Who knows what nutty things they have here....
Kekkou Aoshi: I bet the gurads here can't even fight.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....you know.... o.o ......I might still be alive.
Kekkou Aoshi: *guards
EbilRyuuzoku: In this world....
T3chn0Namagomi: Wait....
T3chn0Namagomi: How come I get the idea that I probably died?
Kekkou Aoshi: Uh...because you're humanj?
Kekkou Aoshi: *human
T3chn0Namagomi: Actually, you don't know that
Kekkou Aoshi: ...I think I know that.
Kekkou Aoshi: But I don't know that.
T3chn0Namagomi: Not everything is as it seems
Kekkou Aoshi: ...As long as you're not trying to say you're flaming homosexual secretly.
FDeth: ...oh! So I might not be human? o_o?
Kekkou Aoshi: <_<
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Still glowy hands::
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around for some books involving weaponry*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....I am NOT gay.
Kekkou Aoshi: Just making sure.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Glances back up at the inventor::
Kekkou Aoshi: Your law enforcement...who comissions them?
Arch mage144: B: The government. Obviously.
Arch mage144: B: ...now...put down your hands and leave me alone!
Kekkou Aoshi: ( wb)
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh you afraid of magic?
Arch mage144: B: Get away from me, you ruffians!
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Kekkou Aoshi: Ruffians?
FDeth: ....wait. Won't this mean people won't like us an' we'll have to go away? >.>?
Arch mage144: B: You can't come into my home and threaten me!
EbilRyuuzoku: Rawr! Ohno! MAGIC! BOO!
T3chn0Namagomi: Technically, he did. I did nothing.
Kekkou Aoshi: Think lgically, mister inventor...>_> Would ruffians be able to grasp something as deep and spritual as magic?
Kekkou Aoshi: *logically
EbilRyuuzoku: C'mon guys let's go....
FDeth: ...
Arch mage144: B: Magic cannot be possessed by everyone...magic is not just.
FDeth: ....ok, yeah. This place is icky. >.>
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah well life isn't just either, so deal with it....
FDeth: ...so I guess money is like magic in the future. ._.
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Arch mage144: B: Everyone will share everything equally in the Great Society.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, okay. THAT is it.
Arch mage144: B: Science and technology will pave the road to prosperity...
Will Baseton: ......
T3chn0Namagomi: Nobody's putting some random bastard on the same level as me.
EbilRyuuzoku: ......
Will Baseton: I'm getting out of here. *steps out of the house* This is a false reality.
Arch mage144: B: Man has accomplished great things! He has flown, he has traveled the stars, he has learned to communicate over long distances...all with the power of science!
Arch mage144: B: He doesn't need magic!
T3chn0Namagomi: *storms out* Universal equality will NOT exist!
FDeth: But I gots no moeny. If I didn't have magic, I'd have like...nothin'! o_o
FDeth: *turns, follows Kamos*
Arch mage144: ...*walks out wordlessly*
Arch mage144: IM: This is utterly ridiculous.
Arch mage144: IM: ...I thought this was supposed to be "fun?"
Arch mage144: IM: Something devious is at work here...
EbilRyuuzoku: *snorts disdainfully and follows Hakaril*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: This sucks, I'm glad I didn't pay anything for this....
Arch mage144: *the streets are eerily empty*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Hey wait why didn't he charge anything anyways?
FDeth: ......
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:What the hell?
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: ......something's up....
Arch mage144: *the sound of rushing rockets whooshes loudly overhead*
FDeth: T2Oak: ...hey where did everybody go?
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o!!
Arch mage144: O: ...you mean the rest of the stupid animals? I dunno...to eat?
Arch mage144: O: I think they eat, but they don't ever bother putting their faces to the ground. How...ridiculous.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Something sounds wrong
Arch mage144: O: They probably eat each other.
EbilRyuuzoku: (That tree is awesome)
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks up*
FDeth: T2O: ...oh. Well...uh...shoot. Guess I better find 'em, then.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::His eyes instantly narrow, and he looks like a much more irrational person::
Arch mage144: *overhead, a small regiment of four mechanical clockwork humanoids with what can only be described as jetpacks are hovering*
T3chn0Namagomi: The hell?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....the heck? More of those robot things?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: Bah, You know I think we should try to find some real magi.
Arch mage144: *the jetpack equipped clockworks hover in front of the party for a moment before landing and drawing pistols or more complicated, coil-like apparatus*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Okay, they're going to try and kick the fuck out of us
Arch mage144: (Hold!)
FDeth: ....so they're mean?
FDeth: (*holds*)
Arch mage144: *one of the pistol-toting machinations fires, and a bullet whizzes right by Kamos' head, taking off a chunk of his ear*
Arch mage144: (Init rolls!)
FDeth: (OMG.)
EbilRyuuzoku: That old bastard must've called the guards on us!
*OnlineHost*: EbilRyuuzoku rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 2
*OnlineHost*: FDeth rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 4
*OnlineHost*: Kekkou Aoshi rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 1
*OnlineHost*: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 5
Kekkou Aoshi: [] ::Becomes snakeeyes:: []
FDeth: (...did it show anything there? I didn't see a roll from me. o_o)
*OnlineHost*: Will Baseton rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 5
T3chn0Namagomi: (15)
T3chn0Namagomi: (You got double 4s)
FDeth: (Aha.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (11....ick)
Will Baseton: (15.)
FDeth: (13)
Kekkou Aoshi: []I'm 11 too[]
EbilRyuuzoku: (Yeah but you got massive init)
Kekkou Aoshi: []9 + 2d6...[]
Arch mage144: (Will is up first.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (And a shitty roll)
Will Baseton: Stupid mechanical bastards...I'll rip you to shreds!
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Wait...they have jetpacks....obviously fuel in there.....
Will Baseton: ...with your own technology. Die, bastard... *he reached behind him and pulled out the ebony rifle he recieved that day so many weeks ago. He pointed it at the closest mecha-cop and grinned, aiming as best as possible* Nikumu.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Fuel is OBVIOUSLY flammable....
Will Baseton: *he pulled the trigger*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:AHA!
Arch mage144: *the blast apparently tears the crap out of one of the clockworks, causing it to fall backwards and land awkwardly in a heap*
Arch mage144: (Kamos)
THENinjaRabbi has entered the room.
EbilRyuuzoku: (Heya Adam!)
FDeth: (HI ADAM.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos then dashes to the side, and holds his arm out....from his viewpoint, but nobody else's...a set of crosshairs blinked over the mecha-soldier's jetpack*
THENinjaRabbi: (Yo.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Lock-ON)
Arch mage144: (Same target?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (No.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Different target than Will's)
Arch mage144: (OK.)
XStrike8 has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *the clockwork targeted by Kamos, having fired at him earlier, singlemindedly repositions itself to take another shot...*
Arch mage144: *and the machine misses him narrowly, the shot zinging past*
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, a second clockwork levels a large, coil-like device at Will, and a light bulb on it illuminates itself brightly*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shiranai's hands grow brighter and brighter red, until anyone near him can feel intense heat burning on them::
Will Baseton: Eep...
EbilRyuuzoku: ...what is that thing?
Arch mage144: *the coils flash suddenly, and an enormous burst of electricity erupts from the end of the weapon at Will, striking him hard enough to send him flying backwards a few feet and slam roughly into the porch of the doc's mansion*
Arch mage144: (Will takes 42.)
T3chn0Namagomi: It looks a little like my....new...gun*pulls the Tesla gun out*
EbilRyuuzoku: ....WILL!
T3chn0Namagomi: Holy fuck....
FDeth: O_O
Arch mage144: (Pete.)
Kekkou Aoshi: ::His eyebrows twitch and his eyes even begin glowing slightly::
Will Baseton: Ugh...that hurt a little...
FDeth: *Pate, seeing Will go flying, decides to target the one that just did that. He concentrates a little, and slams a fist into the ground* ...Tunare, help me... (Impalement)
Arch mage144: *the enormous, spiked vine erupts from the ground, lashing out at the mechanoid, but misses completely as the machine ignites its jetpack and takes to the sky*
Arch mage144: *and a second clockwork, responding to the attack, levels its lightning blaster at Pete, unleashing a powerful surge of electricity at Pete...which throws him to the ground with a rather loud thud*
Arch mage144: (Stress check)
FDeth: (Woo!)
Arch mage144: (Pete's normal.)
FDeth: (...er...did ye roll it already, or was that just what he is right now?)
FDeth: >.o ....ow...
EbilRyuuzoku: Holy shit o__o
EbilRyuuzoku: Two can play at this game *mutters*
Arch mage144: (I rolled it, he succeeded. *nod*)
Arch mage144: *Hakaril raises his hands, muttering something quietly...and then suddenly, his chant becomes a hell of a lot louder*
Arch mage144: "Forces of the astral plane, join together to rip my foes asunder! Instabilities in your fabric of reality, be torn, and unravel! ASTRAL RUPTURE!"
T3chn0Namagomi: *fiddles with the gun, looking for the trigger*
Will Baseton: Huh...?
Arch mage144: *the air shimmers violently as shockwaves of energy rip through each of the clockworks, clearly pummeling each one of them with force*
Arch mage144: *however, they're all still standing*
EbilRyuuzoku: (brb)
Arch mage144: *the clockwork Will utterly blasted attempts a retaliatory strike at Hakaril, firing at him...*
Arch mage144: *...and the mage takes a bullet to the thigh, causing him to drop to the ground, bracing himself with a hand, teeth gritting*
Arch mage144: (Shiranai!)
Kekkou Aoshi: []Yay![]
Will Baseton: Hakaril! Damn machine, I'll finish it off...
Kekkou Aoshi: Just...BURN. ::Shiranai's words cut in and of themselves, but he followed them up with an almost instantaneous dash into air at the robot in the air (Shukuchi). As he became visible again, his hands were held behind him, and in them
Kekkou Aoshi: was a long, courved 'blade' of heat. He took a massive slash...then formed another and slashed again before touching the ground::
Kekkou Aoshi: (2 thermoblades)
Arch mage144: *the blades slice through the tesla-coil wielding automations, dealing some apparent damage...but at the same time, the metallic armor of the clockwork seems to resist the heat energy, melting down slightly on the outside but not
Arch mage144: suffering critical damage...*
Arch mage144: (Aya.)
EbilRyuuzoku: Zap my friends will you...I'll show you.... *chant something in ryuuzoku and fires off a massive bolt of elecricity at the one that had hit Will, the blast bouncing off to any nearby automations*
EbilRyuuzoku: (Chain lightening)
Arch mage144: *the lightning erupts from Aya's hands, tearing through the first clockwork...and the bolt leaps, conducting itself down the line, ripping through each mechanized soldier in turn, causing them all to collapse into molten heaps, much
Arch mage144: like tin soldiers that have been placed in an oven*
Arch mage144: ...well THAT was effective. *winces*
Will Baseton: ...why didn't I think of that? *scratches his chin*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
FDeth: *slowly stands* ....uh....ok. o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Stands there, taking a single breath. His eyes are still narrow::
EbilRyuuzoku: e_e Rawr.
Arch mage144: Damn. >.o
EbilRyuuzoku: Are you guys okay?
Arch mage144: (The party gets 300 XP for victory!)
FDeth: ...uh...I shink so. o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Some of us are in pain it seems...
Will Baseton: I'll be fine.
Will Baseton: *spits*
Kekkou Aoshi: But...
FDeth: think^
Arch mage144: I think there...*grits teeth*...is a bullet in my leg.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::His voice sounds colder than normal, as it did in battle::
T3chn0Namagomi: *grumbles* So much for a test run.
Kekkou Aoshi: How could something like this world cause us pain...?
EbilRyuuzoku: ...bullet?
EbilRyuuzoku: ....how do you get those things out anyways?
Arch mage144: Yes, bullet...
EbilRyuuzoku: Did it go alll the way through?
Arch mage144: ...damned if I know, healers can do it sometimes. A lot of healing magic can simply disintegrate them if they can't remove them.
T3chn0Namagomi: Damnit...let me try.
Will Baseton: I can heal him...
FDeth: o_o
Arch mage144: How the hell would I know if it went through?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Arch mage144: *winces and looks at the blood spot on his pants*
EbilRyuuzoku: There'd be another hole where it went out?
T3chn0Namagomi: She's right
EbilRyuuzoku: *examines Hakaril's pants*
T3chn0Namagomi: If it went all the way through, there'd be two holes
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Picks a paper up off the ground, tosses it in the air, and draws his blade through it at lightning speed before sliding it back into his scabbard::
Arch mage144: *there's a hole in his pants, and it's apparent that he's been shot*
Arch mage144: ...well, then, it's probably still in there.
EbilRyuuzoku: Damn....I'd heal it but you probably don't want a bullet stuck in your leg or something...
Arch mage144: Not especially...>.o
Kekkou Aoshi: ::The paper falls into confetti to the sound of a hissing Nekonian curse::
EbilRyuuzoku: I messed up and did that once...Kamos how do you take those out anyways?
Will Baseton: ...hm. How are we gonna get home now? We just slaughtered an entire police squad.
T3chn0Namagomi: Alright....
Will Baseton: The authorities are bound to be after us now.
FDeth: ...but...lotsa healing magic? Mebe I can help! n_n
T3chn0Namagomi: This is not going to feel comfortable.
Arch mage144: ...let Kamos try, I suppose.
T3chn0Namagomi: *examines the wound to see how deep it is*
EbilRyuuzoku: We have to get out of town somewhat soon also...
Will Baseton: We can't go dragon here, either...
Arch mage144: *it's fairly deep--it looks like the bullet went in, struck the edge of the bone, and slowed down enough to stop before exiting the leg*
Will Baseton: If they've got mechanized troops, then they'll have artillery that could knock even my max-powered dragon form out of the air.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Yeah...
EbilRyuuzoku: .....ick. *looks sick to the stomach*
Kekkou Aoshi: This science stuff is dangerous.
T3chn0Namagomi: Alright...looks like I'm going to have to settle for something a little less comfortable
FDeth: It's like....all cold. o_o No life, 'n stuff.
Arch mage144: ...does this mean you can't get the bullet out of my leg? >.o
T3chn0Namagomi: *pulls out his Xenocide dagger*
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
Will Baseton: Sadly, something like this is where time will lead, no matter what.
Arch mage144: Wait a second. What're you doing with that!?
T3chn0Namagomi: Just looks like I'll have to do something painful to get it out*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Gets a grim look::
FDeth: ....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Takes hold of one off Hak's arms::
Arch mage144: ...Kamos, I swear...
Kekkou Aoshi: Someone else, get the other.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm trying to remove it, damnit.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....by STABBING him??
Kekkou Aoshi: No...more like digging it out.
Kekkou Aoshi: I'm guessing...?
Arch mage144: ...with THAT?
EbilRyuuzoku: .....ow, there has to be a better way...
Arch mage144: DIGGING? With a DAGGER?
Arch mage144: In my FLESH!?
Kekkou Aoshi: Hmm...
T3chn0Namagomi: Does anyone have anything else?
FDeth: *ponders* o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: I wonder if...
Kekkou Aoshi: My Pyrokinesis will allow me to perform telekinesis as well.
Kekkou Aoshi: I doubt it, but...
Arch mage144: (The answer, for the record, is no.)
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Hm, not worth trying...
FDeth: (*boots Brian to the OOC*)
EbilRyuuzoku: Umm....
Kekkou Aoshi: ...All I can do is...
EbilRyuuzoku: ...not really, I can't reach into things like that...
T3chn0Namagomi: Anyone have anything else, then?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Washes his trademark therapudic heat over Brian's thigh::
Arch mage144: (...Brian?)
EbilRyuuzoku: (....Brian's?)
FDeth: ....mebe....uh...I can get it out with plants? Jus' grab it and pull it out? o_o?
Kekkou Aoshi: []....XD[]
EbilRyuuzoku: (Kate: *beats Shir*)
Will Baseton: (FREUDIAN SLIP!)
Kekkou Aoshi: *Hak's
Arch mage144: ...I'm more willing to let you try that than let him dig into me with a dagger.
FDeth: >.> ....ok then! o_o
FDeth: <.< >.> *begins concentrating, vines starting to come out of the ground* -.-
Will Baseton: *smirks* More of those guards will be coming. We've got to get to that man's tower, or where it would be...in this time. Maybe it'll still be there...
Kekkou Aoshi: That's an idea...
FDeth: *the narrow vines creep up to Hak's leg, and dive in, attempting to pull out the bullet without making a bigger wound*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Watches, continuing to dull Hak's pain with his gentle warmth::
EbilRyuuzoku: (OMG TENTACLES!)
FDeth: (*also, let's Brian deal with this part! :D!*)
FDeth: (NO TENTACLES. >_<)
Arch mage144: *grits his teeth and winces, noting there are vines groping around in a hole in his leg, which is a rather disturbing proposition*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Arch mage144: *however, as he observes, the plants manage to envelop the bullet and pull it out slowly, then discard it idly*
Arch mage144: *Hakaril groans, somewhat relieved*
Arch mage144: (Pete gets 200 XP points for A) the idea and B) actually succeeding.)
Will Baseton: ...that looks incredibly wrong.
FDeth: *the vines then drop to the ground, and Pete opens his eyes* o_o ...yay! It worked! n_n
EbilRyuuzoku: ......wow, good job!
T3chn0Namagomi: (Figures. It's prove Kamos useless day)
Kekkou Aoshi: No time for congratulations...
Will Baseton: Okay...now should I heal him, Aya?
Kekkou Aoshi: I think we should bandage him, then heal.
Will Baseton: We've gotta go. Can you run, Hak?
EbilRyuuzoku: Go ahead....
Arch mage144: ...maybe. You two looked like you took it pretty hard yourselves...
Arch mage144: *both Pete and Will have electrical burns, Pete's being somewhat worse*
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
Will Baseton: I'll be fine...lightning ain't that bad to me, remember?
FDeth: *winces, as if he had forgotten about electrical stuff*
T3chn0Namagomi: Bastard. Not willing to deal with a little pain
FDeth: ...I can heal stuff, too. >.> *as if to prove a point, he begins chanting the spell for a basic Cure spell*
Arch mage144: *Pete begins to feel a bit better, some of his burns going away*
EbilRyuuzoku: We have to get out of this place....
Arch mage144: ...deal with pain?
FDeth: *winces, as he still obviously isn't in the best of conditions*
Will Baseton: Right. Let's go! I don't think it's smart to fly...
Arch mage144: How about I shoot YOU in the le--*as Hak stands up, he slumps a bit, his leg still being a bit on the sore side*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Takes Hak's arm again and throws it over his shoulder:: C'mon, man.
Will Baseton: ...damn, uoi don't look like you'll be able to run. Let me heal you first.
Arch mage144: Yeah...*nods*
Will Baseton: All right...
Will Baseton: *begins a chant in ancient High Elven* Soul Healing...
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o High Elvish?
Will Baseton: *blue and green tendrils of light leak from the ground below Hakaril and surround him*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...You're not high Elvish, are you?
Will Baseton: ...part. Very small. Only enough of it left in me to be immortal like an elf...
Arch mage144: *Hakaril's wounds seem to totally melt away under the power of Will's spell, which is pretty damned effective*
Kekkou Aoshi: I see...
Will Baseton: There ya go. Now let's get OUT of here!
Arch mage144: Yeah, alright...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Nods and...looks around::
Kekkou Aoshi: Which way?
EbilRyuuzoku: *pacing* Damnit...how do we get back to OUR reality...
Will Baseton: ...I wonder if they ever found the sword I hid for Elle-chan...
Arch mage144: There's gotta be an...exit?
FDeth: ...okie.
Will Baseton: We should head back to that guy's tower.
Arch mage144: Will, it might not even EXIST in this reality.
Arch mage144: We might just want to do that.
Will Baseton: Maybe there will be a clue where it once stood...
Kekkou Aoshi: Yeah, it's all we can come up with, anyway...
FDeth: ...so....to the north....I think?
Kekkou Aoshi: Toward the palace...
Kekkou Aoshi: Past it, actually.
Arch mage144: Yeah...that way. *points*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Arch mage144: It's as good a place as any to look.
EbilRyuuzoku: Llet's go...
Kekkou Aoshi: Alright...everyone ok?
Arch mage144: Right. *starts walking, with only a very slight limp*
FDeth: *follows Hakaril, wincing from standing burns*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Runs along with them::
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then walks, taking out the music box*
Kekkou Aoshi: No stopping!
EbilRyuuzoku: *Follows along*
Arch mage144: *after walking for maybe an hour, the group gets to the tower...which, amazingly, or perhaps not so amazingly, exists in this world*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Well, whaddya know. ::Peers at it::
FDeth: ...hey! It's still here!
Arch mage144: Should we knock? *smirk*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Kicks the door down, or tries to::
Will Baseton: Sure. Knock.
T3chn0Namagomi: *and stares at the figurines again*
Arch mage144: *Shiranai only succeeds in twisting his ankle*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
FDeth: ...
Kekkou Aoshi: Kusou...
Will Baseton: ...nice move, swifty. *thwaps Shir over the head*
FDeth: *walks up and knocks*
Arch mage144: (-1 AGI penalty for that.)
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Nearly backhands him::
T3chn0Namagomi: Undying dreams......
Kekkou Aoshi: []Wha...?[]
Arch mage144: (It's kind of hard to move when you've twisted your ankle. >_>;)
T3chn0Namagomi: Wishes that cannot be shattered.....
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yeah)
Kekkou Aoshi: []Ah.[]
Arch mage144: (Harder, anyway. He attempted to kick a door down, a heavy wooden one at that. If you put all your strength into it like I assume he did, he probably hurt himself.)
Kekkou Aoshi: []Damn...my rolls have been shit tonight. Oh well.[]
T3chn0Namagomi: .....Contents of a shattered soul...anyway?
Arch mage144: *the door doesn't open or respond to knocking*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Wooden?)
Arch mage144: (Wooden.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Let me try this.....
FDeth: ....ok?
FDeth: *stands aside*
EbilRyuuzoku: *steps aside*
T3chn0Namagomi: Stand back, people
Arch mage144: ...that looked rather painful. *glances at Shiranai*
T3chn0Namagomi: This could get messy
Arch mage144: ...what are you doing to DO?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Twitching angirly::
T3chn0Namagomi: *pulls out his Tesla Cannon*
Will Baseton: ...stop wasting ammo on stuff!
T3chn0Namagomi: How the hell do you know?
Arch mage144: ...because wood resists electricity?
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then fires an electrical blast at the door*
T3chn0Namagomi: But wood is flammable
Will Baseton: ...that isn't a flamethrower.
Arch mage144: *the blast does absolutely nothing, because wood is a resistor*
Arch mage144: *it is, however, mildly impressive*
EbilRyuuzoku: .... *grabs the handle and twists*
Will Baseton: That's it. Time for this door to go bye-bye.
FDeth: ...doesn't Mr. Psychopath have fire stuff? o.o?
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
FDeth: *doesn't know Shir's name yet! :D!*
Kekkou Aoshi: I do...
Arch mage144: *the door's locked*
FDeth: *but has heard people call him "psychopath" before*
Arch mage144: (Yes, Kate, the first rule of door bashing/lock picking applies here.)
Will Baseton: *grins for a moment and a rune shines through his shirt*
Will Baseton: Stand back, sis.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Watches will, trying to twist his ankle back into complete alignment:: >_o
Kekkou Aoshi: *Will
EbilRyuuzoku: *steps back* o_o
Will Baseton: *holds out his hand*
Will Baseton: ...Dragon Fire.
Arch mage144: *a burst of flame erupts from Will's hand, striking the door and igniting it on the spot*
Arch mage144: *the door burns for a few minutes before being reduced to ash*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Watches it burn happily::
Arch mage144: (80 XP to you.)
Kekkou Aoshi: All...::Puts his hands in front of the blaze::
FDeth: ...open! Yay!
Kekkou Aoshi: *Ahh
T3chn0Namagomi: *grumbles at being humiliated*
FDeth: *strolls in* n_n
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Walks in::
Will Baseton: *the Fire Rune that glowed on his chest fades back into obscurity*
Arch mage144: *follows, uncharacteristically cautiously*
Arch mage144: So...who's responsible for this nonsense, hm?
EbilRyuuzoku: *follows as well* e_e I'd like to know.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Doesn't expect any heat sources, and so doesn't feel for them::
Arch mage144: *something creaks*
Will Baseton: Vacation? This must have been a trap.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Might be more mechanical things....
Kekkou Aoshi: o_O
Kekkou Aoshi: ::His elven ears, however, perk up::
Kekkou Aoshi: Shh...
T3chn0Namagomi: (Mag. Res. Imaging)
FDeth: o.o
Will Baseton: >.>
EbilRyuuzoku: *ears twitch*
FDeth: *assumed that the creak was them*
Arch mage144: *in the corner stands a very large boiler-looking furnace*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Magnetic Resonance Imaging skill, please)
FDeth: .... o_o
FDeth: ...hey. That looks like a machiney thing, like th' one doctor guy we talked to.
Arch mage144: (It's on. Give me a minute.)
Kekkou Aoshi: Looks more like a stove to me...
Arch mage144: *the furnace pings, and nothing else in the room...*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Walks over to it carefully and puts his hands in front of it::
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmmm.....
Arch mage144: (Hold!)
FDeth: (*does!*)
Arch mage144: *the "furnace" opens up its grille, and a huge blast of ridiculously hot steam erupts from the grille at Shiranai...who is lucky enough to dodge it completely*
Will Baseton: What the hell? A possessed furnace?
Will Baseton: I'm thinking this guy wasn't trying to be nice to us when he sent us on this trip.
T3chn0Namagomi: Or a mechanical one....
Kekkou Aoshi: ...O o
Arch mage144: *the furnace lifts itself off the ground as legs protrude from the bottom, and a set of beefy mechanical arms telescopes from the sides*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...What the...!
FDeth: ... o.o;;;
Kekkou Aoshi: ::His hand shoots to his sword's grip::
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O What the HELL?
XStrike8: (And I'm tempted to say... OMG STEAMPUNKS.)
FDeth: It's another robob!
Arch mage144: *all in all, the result is a walking machination that looks like a mechanical furnace giant*
EbilRyuuzoku: That's robot!
T3chn0Namagomi: Fucking....hell.....
Arch mage144: *roughly 10 feet tall, for the record*
T3chn0Namagomi: It's...not friendly
Will Baseton: ...that's got to be the ugliest robot I've seen in a long time.
Will Baseton: Something tells me we should put its fire out.
T3chn0Namagomi: Or maybe blow it full of holes
FDeth: ...but...it has fire, and fire is bad for plants.... ._.
Arch mage144: (Roll init)
*OnlineHost*: Kekkou Aoshi rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 3
Arch mage144: ...that's a really bizarre creation.
*OnlineHost*: FDeth rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 6
Kekkou Aoshi: []18[]
*OnlineHost*: EbilRyuuzoku rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 3
*OnlineHost*: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
EbilRyuuzoku: (Oh dear lord, 8)
*OnlineHost*: Will Baseton rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 2
FDeth: (*still isn't shown his roll, because Trillian hates him*)
EbilRyuuzoku: (Wait no, 9)
Will Baseton: (12.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (11)
XStrike8: (FD: you got 7 on your roll)
FDeth: (What did I roll?)
Arch mage144: (You rolled a 7)
FDeth: (Aha. *is at 12, then*)
Kekkou Aoshi: []All metal, this thing?[]
Arch mage144: (Yes)
Arch mage144: (Shiranai is first up.)
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shiranai ducks very quickly, and his blade swings out from the sheathe at soeeds hard to see, aimed at the legs:: (Tsukiri)
Kekkou Aoshi: *speeds
Arch mage144: *Shiranai's blade connects with the metal legs, denting the metal--and nearly cleaving through one of them, leaving the clockwork a bit unsteady*
Arch mage144: (Pete!)
FDeth: *Pete concentrates some more, this time allowing almost visible astral energy to leave from his fingers and go to the ground. A moment later, a web of vines surfaces under the construct, trying to entabgle the damaged leg*
FDeth: (Chocking brambles)
FDeth: (Chiking^)
FDeth: (CHOKING^, DAMNIT)
Kekkou Aoshi: []o_o Just say fcuk.[]
Arch mage144: *the damaged leg is indeed entangled by the brambles...which have more than enough strength to tear it right off*
Arch mage144: *the result of this is that the clockwork furnace, which weighs nearly 800 pounds, is unable to support its own weight, and the other leg collapses under the intense pressure*
Arch mage144: *the furnace is now completely immobile*
EbilRyuuzoku: Hah! Like a turtle! Sorta!
Will Baseton: ...wow.
Arch mage144: That was impressive. o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: ...That was proof of inferior armoring
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Nods to Pete:: Thanks. ^_^
FDeth: Yay! It worked! n_n *is once again practically ignoring his burns*
Arch mage144: (*pitches everyone a 150 XP bonus*)
FDeth: (...thanks?)
Kekkou Aoshi: []Yo.[]
Will Baseton: Now what? *gives a quick astral scan*
Arch mage144: (You're welcome. o_o)
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Arch mage144: *there's nothing anywhere in the room that gives off an aura, excepting people and magical objects*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Glares at it::
Arch mage144: *however, the furnace is still impotently clawing at the air*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
Kekkou Aoshi: Kamos...
Will Baseton: (Can I attack?)
Arch mage144: (Er...if you want to...)
Will Baseton: *smirks* Can I finish this thing off?
T3chn0Namagomi: Let me.
Will Baseton: Okay, sure. Go ahead, Kamos.
T3chn0Namagomi: I haven't given this damn thing a proper test.
T3chn0Namagomi: *pulls out the needle gun*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Can I lock, and then fire?)
Arch mage144: (Yes, though I'm not sure what you're locking on for...)
EbilRyuuzoku: *shakes her head* Oy....
T3chn0Namagomi: (Increased accuracy)
Arch mage144: (...the target can't MOVE...)
EbilRyuuzoku: (I don't think that'll be dodging..)
FDeth: (...for a ten foot immobile object?)
Arch mage144: (But okay, fine.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *locks, and then fires a shot at the construction*
T3chn0Namagomi: *after whipping out and cocking the needlegun, of course*
Arch mage144: *the needle gun fires, impaling the furnace's armor with a six inch bolt*
Will Baseton: ......
EbilRyuuzoku: ......right... *looks for another way to go or something*
T3chn0Namagomi: .......
T3chn0Namagomi: Fucking....damn it....
EbilRyuuzoku: Just leave it, it can't do anything.
T3chn0Namagomi: *closing eyes* That's it! I'm sick of this shit!
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: Just die...
FDeth: ....are you sick? Cause I still gots healing magic. o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: Energies of infinity....*the chant sounds to be echoing*
EbilRyuuzoku: *goes about ignoring Kamos for now and looks for the next way up/exit*
Arch mage144: *there is a set of spiraling stairs that looks hauntingly familiar*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Lash forth and strike...decimate! GITHU!!!
Will Baseton: ...well, let us go...
EbilRyuuzoku: *goes up the stairs*
T3chn0Namagomi: (X-Magic ->Githux2)
FDeth: ...uh...ok? *follows*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Leaps away from the machine at Kamos's attack::
Will Baseton: *follows*
Kekkou Aoshi: o o
T3chn0Namagomi: *and, well, a pair of gold energy bolts fly forth from Kamos' hands, towards the machine*
Arch mage144: *the furnace, as a result of being blasted with high energy magical bolts, has a pair of very LARGE holes in it and is basically a pile of slag*
Arch mage144: *steam rises from the melting metal as water boils off rapidly*
T3chn0Namagomi: Fucker...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Nods, shrugs and then follows the others::
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then follows*
EbilRyuuzoku: *climbs the stairs quickly*
Arch mage144: *the climbing of the stairs is somewhat exhausting...*
Will Baseton: *takes care to watch for traps*
Arch mage144: *...and after what seems like an eternity, the group reaches the top*
FDeth: *is following and stuff, noticing his burns with a veangeance now*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Has a bit of trouble with his twisted ankle::
Arch mage144: (who's first?)
Kekkou Aoshi: []I think Aya was.[]
EbilRyuuzoku: (Yeah)
Will Baseton: *following right behind Aya*
EbilRyuuzoku: (.....you don't ever want the GM to ask that question)
Arch mage144: *As Aya steps on the top step...all of the steps below it collapse, resulting in a gigantic slide*
Arch mage144: O_O
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O AHHHHHHH!
FDeth: (...)
FDeth: O_O
Will Baseton: *jumps up, flapping his wings furiously*
EbilRyuuzoku: *scrambles to cling to the wall or something*
EbilRyuuzoku: (brb)
Kekkou Aoshi: []Brian: *Aya then gets blessed with Ever-Behaving Hair*[]
Will Baseton: *attempts to grab Aya before she slides down*
Arch mage144: (Aya's fine, as she's on the top step.)
Will Baseton: (Scratch that, then.)
Arch mage144: *everyone else slides down to the bottom...*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Just wonderful.....
Will Baseton: *floats up to the top step with his sister, exhaling sharply* Whew...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Slides down to the bottom::
Kekkou Aoshi: Wee!!
Arch mage144: *...and after a minute or two of sliding, they all land on Hakaril who was last, except Will and Aya*
FDeth: *slides, and probably has people land on him*
Arch mage144: *it's mildly uncomfortable, but not painful enough to be lethal or damaging*
T3chn0Namagomi: --v-
FDeth: .....uh....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Rolls off::
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Fuck this.
Arch mage144: ...*groans*
Arch mage144: Kamos...get off me.
T3chn0Namagomi: *rolls off as well....and then grasps his wrists*
Arch mage144: (*has to wait for Kate to come back*)
Kekkou Aoshi: >.>
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Waaaaait....
FDeth: *not one to be disuaded, casts both Growth Spike and Grow!, in an attempt to make a climbable vine*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:On the other hand, fuck no. TOO much stairs
T3chn0Namagomi: *grasps the wrist with the amulet, which a red flash emits from. Kamos keels over in pain, surrounded by a red aura*
EbilRyuuzoku: (back)
Arch mage144: *Aya and Will see...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Then, wings. horns, and a tail burst from Kamos...and he's in his chimeric form again*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Eh?
Arch mage144: *in the lab at the top of the stairs, Quentin is chained to the wall and wearing a muzzle*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Blinks at Kamos::
Will Baseton: The dog...
T3chn0Namagomi: *his nails lengthen into claws, the aura disappears, and he gets up*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Chimeric form, duh)
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
Arch mage144: *...and on the other side of the room, Tyrane is also chained to the wall*
Kekkou Aoshi: Wow...
EbilRyuuzoku: ....Quentin? ....Tyrane? ....what the hell?
Kekkou Aoshi: Well, if you're flying, may I hitch a ride?
Will Baseton: What happened here?
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
EbilRyuuzoku: *runs over to him* Hey!
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Fine. >_>
T3chn0Namagomi: I doubt I could carry you all that way up
EbilRyuuzoku: *Tyrane that is*
Arch mage144: *as Aya steps off the top step of the stairs, they reform as normal*
Kekkou Aoshi: Hm.
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
Kekkou Aoshi: Ah.
FDeth: ....
Kekkou Aoshi: Good.
Arch mage144: ...well that's odd.
Will Baseton: *follows*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Goes running up the stairs quickly::
Arch mage144: *gets up and treks onwards*
T3chn0Namagomi: *jumps up....and flies up anyway*
Arch mage144: *Tyrane appears to have been locked up for...a while*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::As he reaches the top, he leaps over the top few steps::
EbilRyuuzoku: Hey *shakes him* Tyrane?
FDeth: *waits for everyone else to go up, cancels his spells, and then just climbs up* >.>;;;;
Arch mage144: *he's half-unconscious, hanging from shackles on the wall, and drooling just a little*
Arch mage144: T: ...guh...hm?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::He then lands on his bad ankle, and is about to curse when he sees the people tied up::
Arch mage144: T: ...whaddya want from me...*eye opens weakly*
EbilRyuuzoku: Tyrane? ...what happened?!
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
Arch mage144: T: ...he had to go and ruin Steamtown...because he was jealous...
Will Baseton: Who did this to you?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...The other guy.
T3chn0Namagomi: Let me guess.
Kekkou Aoshi: The bishounen.
Kekkou Aoshi: >_>
T3chn0Namagomi: The assistant
Kekkou Aoshi: []Nekonian.[]
Arch mage144: ...apparently. *growls*
EbilRyuuzoku: *draws her dragon king sword* Hold still....
T3chn0Namagomi: Hold on...at least I can let you exact your revenge...
Arch mage144: T: ...what're you doing!?
Arch mage144: T: You can't kill me, this isn't my fault, I'm sorry!
FDeth: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: Hold out the chain, calm down!
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Calls out sarcastically::
Kekkou Aoshi: Vut him. >_>
Kekkou Aoshi: *Cut
EbilRyuuzoku: <.< Shut up you.
Arch mage144: T: I'm SORRY! ,>.<,
FDeth: .....
Will Baseton: We're going to free you.
Kekkou Aoshi: Heh.
EbilRyuuzoku: Not you! Just calm down!
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Pats him on the head::
Arch mage144: T: ...you are?
T3chn0Namagomi: Souls of the damned....strike forth at once...let flesh be reaved and armor shatter! Corrosion!
Kekkou Aoshi: You've been a good boy.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yes! Now hold still!
Arch mage144: Yes...seeing s how you aren't respon...
Will Baseton: Yes.
T3chn0Namagomi: *and fires a Corrosion spell at the chain*
Will Baseton: <.< Kamos?
Arch mage144: *a black fireball erupts from Kamos' hands, striking the chains and disintegrating them immediately, along with a chunk of the stone wall*
EbilRyuuzoku: ...... whaaa whoah *moves her sword away*
FDeth: o_o;;;
Will Baseton: o.o
Kekkou Aoshi: ...It seems our friend Kamos is quite the bloodthristy one.
T3chn0Namagomi: And now....
EbilRyuuzoku: Free Quentin too Kamos!
Will Baseton: *walks over to Quentin* I'll help the dog.
T3chn0Namagomi: *repeats the spell on the dog's chain*
FDeth: I think he's mad at sumfin'.
Arch mage144: *the dog's chains break immediately*
Will Baseton: *jumps back* CAREFUL WHERE YOU THROW THOSE THINGS.
T3chn0Namagomi: *glares*
Arch mage144: ...Kamos, take it easy...
Kekkou Aoshi: He's mad at everything, Pete.
Kekkou Aoshi: ^_^
Arch mage144: He's going to hurt someone. *glares*
Arch mage144: And if he does, I'm going to hurt him.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos Mazuo Death Glare at Shiranai*
EbilRyuuzoku: Poor doggie...why didn't he just blink out of the chains though?
Arch mage144: Good question...
Arch mage144: Hey, that muzzle's enchanted.
Will Baseton: Probably enchanted.
FDeth: ...right. o_o
Will Baseton: Same reason Tyrane couldn't magic out.
Arch mage144: *nods at Will* It's preventing him from using his magic.
EbilRyuuzoku: *takes the muzzle off*
EbilRyuuzoku: Tyrane? How...oh how...do we get OUT of here?!
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
Kekkou Aoshi: IM: She's getting moody.
Kekkou Aoshi: Yeah, it'd been fun and all. >_>
Kekkou Aoshi: But also very annoying.
Kekkou Aoshi: *It's
T3chn0Namagomi: And more importantly....am I going to be able to keep my new weapons?
Arch mage144: T: ...*shakes his head roughly* I'm sorry, hold on...I'll get right on it...keep your eyes open...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Nods::
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Er...
Kekkou Aoshi: Wait...
Will Baseton: Don't overexert yourself...
Arch mage144: T: *walks over to the large crystal apparatus and does some fiddling*
Arch mage144: *...everyone blanks out...*
FDeth: ...that's more important than getting out? Wow, that must be really nifty stuff. o.o
EbilRyuuzoku: I really don't dig that whol-
FDeth: *FOOSH! x_X*
T3chn0Namagomi: ---
Kekkou Aoshi: ...-_-
Arch mage144: *...and everyone regains consciousness...chained to their sofas*
Kekkou Aoshi: Hhnnnhh...
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around*
Arch mage144: *Aya feels the coldness of metal pressed against her neck...*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Blink, twitch::
Will Baseton: What...the hell...?
FDeth: o_o;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh wonderful.....
Kekkou Aoshi: Chikusho....!
Kekkou Aoshi: <___<
FDeth: ...hey, this isn't very nice...
Kekkou Aoshi: Renard...kisama!!
EbilRyuuzoku: .....ugh...what.....
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm now chained.
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O
Arch mage144: *...as everyone can see, it's a dagger*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
Arch mage144: R: Don't move...I swear, you'll regret it if you move.
FDeth: ..........
T3chn0Namagomi: (Kamos is still a chimera)
EbilRyuuzoku: ........
Kekkou Aoshi: Kiero!!
Arch mage144: (No, he isn't.)
EbilRyuuzoku: *hisses softly*
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh? I just moved. Oh, look! I moved again!
Arch mage144: (Actually, wait, yeah, he is. Nevermind.)
T3chn0Namagomi: And again!
Kekkou Aoshi: IM: Damn, I don't want her to die...
Will Baseton: STOP IT KAMOS!
FDeth: >.> <.< ._.
Arch mage144: R: *nicks Aya's neck just slightly* Don't push me.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...Kamos...don't get Aya hurt...
T3chn0Namagomi: But if you want to kill someone....kill me instead
EbilRyuuzoku: >.o Ow...Kamos you idiot stop it...
Arch mage144: ...Kamos, quit being a moron...
Arch mage144: ...damned antimagic chains.
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o...
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes a breath*
Kekkou Aoshi: []::Has 0 MP, correct?::{]
Will Baseton: Why have you done this?
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
Arch mage144: R: Simple!
T3chn0Namagomi: ...That's what I want to know...
Kekkou Aoshi: []Does Pyrokinesis allow for overexertion with mana burn?[]
Arch mage144: R: I hate mages. And I hate royalty. Two birds with one stone!
Arch mage144: (Of course.)
Kekkou Aoshi: []And is it covered under magic?[]
Arch mage144: R: I've got the Queen held ransom right here...
T3chn0Namagomi: ....I won't let you kill her.....
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes a deep breath.....*
FDeth: ....
Kekkou Aoshi: []Well...guess we can always try...[]
EbilRyuuzoku: ........shit.
Arch mage144: (It is, technically, but anti-magic fields don't stop mental stuff.)
Kekkou Aoshi: []Or not.[]
Arch mage144: R: Of course, I had to rewrite the history of that world. Mostly to shake you all up.
Arch mage144: R: Tyrane's nice little clockwork utopia just didn't suit me.
Will Baseton: I knew it.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...And so you've done all this for personal hatred?
FDeth: ....s' magic isn't dead an' stuff in the future! Yay! n_n
Arch mage144: R: ...people are so weak. *smirk*
T3chn0Namagomi: *seems to...be holding his breath*
EbilRyuuzoku: *is, um, rather on edge* .....who are you....
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:I have to aim this right.......
EbilRyuuzoku: Or rather, what are you *narrows eyes*
Arch mage144: R: Just another guy who's gotten the short stick one too many times in his life.
Kekkou Aoshi: You're certainly proving you are...
Arch mage144: R: Shut up!
Will Baseton: Listen to me, you son of a bitch...let us go right now or I'll pull in a few favors with the gods...
Arch mage144: R: Unless you like seeing her bleed.
FDeth: ....
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to use his breath weapon to freeze Renard, or at least part of him*
Arch mage144: R: *mimicking Will* I'll pull a few favors with the gods!
Kekkou Aoshi: []>_>[]
FDeth: ...but...that isn't nice. o_o
Arch mage144: (*halts*)
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O IM: DAMNIT KAMOS DON'T USE THAT NEAR ME!
Kekkou Aoshi: O_o
FDeth: O_O
T3chn0Namagomi: *yet trying not to touch Aya with it*
Arch mage144: *Aya feels a freezing cold chill surge through her body as she catches part of Kamos' blast...*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Damnit....why....
EbilRyuuzoku: >________< *groans*
Will Baseton: Sis...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:I...don't want to see her hurt....
Arch mage144: *...but Renard is considerably less lucky, blasted by an intense wave of freezing energy which causes him to drop his knife--and stop moving completely*
Arch mage144: (Kamos gets 200 XP.)
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
FDeth: ....wow. o_o
FDeth: So...uh...how d'we get out? >.>?
T3chn0Namagomi: *first, tries to astrally scan that dagger*
Arch mage144: ...that was...a really, really good idea.
Arch mage144: *the dagger is made of nonmagical metal!*
EbilRyuuzoku: G...get ...me out of this... *shudders*
T3chn0Namagomi: But first....
T3chn0Namagomi: v.v.....
Arch mage144: I'd love to, if it weren't for the fact that I'm chained down myself.
Arch mage144: ...I feel like I'm stuck in someone's very twisted fetish.
Will Baseton: Tyrane! Are you here?
T3chn0Namagomi: My undying dreams....my shattered soul.....
EbilRyuuzoku: ....... IM: *bad memories*
Kekkou Aoshi: ...::Uses his warmth source on Aya, spreading gentle warmth through her body::
Arch mage144: T: *looks over at Will* Yes, and I'm chained down next to you.
T3chn0Namagomi: .....my own life....give themselves for my cause! Gisak!
EbilRyuuzoku: *groan* Did you have to say that Hakaril?
Will Baseton: The irony.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Gisak, Aya)
Kekkou Aoshi: Hey, Hak...what of that Succubus I've heard about?
Arch mage144: ...what about her?
Arch mage144: She's not into bondage!
Kekkou Aoshi: Does she not go for chains?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I still can't...stand seeing...you hurt....Aya...
EbilRyuuzoku: Kamos....you don't have to....
Arch mage144: *noticeably, Kamos' spell doesn't do anything, including sap his own strength*
Arch mage144: *it just doesn't function*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
EbilRyuuzoku: ....crud....
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: ....!!! *gets an idea*
EbilRyuuzoku: Doom!
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shiranai's eyes squint very harshly...::
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:let's see here....
FDeth: O_o
Arch mage144: *...Ayra appears!*
EbilRyuuzoku: *looking rather sleepy too*
Will Baseton: ...yet again, why didn't I think of that?
FDeth: o_o
Arch mage144: ...AYRA!
EbilRyuuzoku: *yawns*
FDeth: Wow! So cuuute! n_n
EbilRyuuzoku: =-.o= Herro.... *rubs eyes*
EbilRyuuzoku: Oneeane what are you doing?
Arch mage144: ...Ayra, if you get me out of these chains, I'll give you all the catnip you want.
EbilRyuuzoku: =O_O= CATNIP!
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
FDeth: (A brave move!)
Kekkou Aoshi: She's cute.
EbilRyuuzoku: *runs over and starts pulling on them*
EbilRyuuzoku: *pulling, scratching, chewing*
Arch mage144: ...maybe you should look for the key.
EbilRyuuzoku: *sweatdrops* Indeed...
EbilRyuuzoku: =o.o= Uh, otay...
Arch mage144: T: Check that desk over there...
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
Arch mage144: T: *nods in the general direction*
EbilRyuuzoku: *scoots over to the desk* =6.6=
Arch mage144: *sure enough, there's a key sitting on it*
EbilRyuuzoku: Yay! *grabs it* I win!
Arch mage144: ...you don't win until you unlock us! >_<
FDeth: These chains are dumb. I can't feel th' plants. ._.
Kekkou Aoshi: I think I can still make heat...
Kekkou Aoshi: Right, Aya?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Making sure::
Arch mage144: ...that sounds so suggestive.
Kekkou Aoshi: It would...you share a bed with a succubus....
Arch mage144: ...will you quit bringing that up?
Kekkou Aoshi: No. :D
Will Baseton: Sirvix is a nice person. Don't insult her.
EbilRyuuzoku: *scoots over*
EbilRyuuzoku: =o.o= Hmm... *unlocks Hakaril*
EbilRyuuzoku: *then Aya*
Arch mage144: ...thank you, Ayra.
EbilRyuuzoku: *then Will, Kamos, and Pete*
EbilRyuuzoku: =^_^= Now I win!
T3chn0Namagomi: Now.....
Arch mage144: Aya, I guess I kind of have to give her catnip now. >_>
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
Kekkou Aoshi: >_>
T3chn0Namagomi: My undying dreams....my shattered soul..... .....my own life....give themselves for my cause! Gisak!
FDeth: *shrugs chains off* YAY! n_n
Arch mage144: Unlock him, too. *points to Tyrane*
Will Baseton: Thanks, Ayra! *tosses her a gumball*
EbilRyuuzoku: Fine by me...Kamos no!
T3chn0Namagomi: (Gisak, Aya)
EbilRyuuzoku: *catches and goes to unlock Tyrane*
Arch mage144: *...and Kamos subsequently collapses, unconscious*
T3chn0Namagomi: As I said....I hate seeing you hurt.....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Is still in chains::
Arch mage144: *Aya feels her strength totally returned*
FDeth: *promptly after getting the chains off, Glomps Ayra* THANKYOOOOOOO! n_n
Will Baseton: ......
EbilRyuuzoku: Kamos! You didn't have to do that......
EbilRyuuzoku: =^_^=
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
EbilRyuuzoku: =o.o= Oh!
Arch mage144: ...maybe he did.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Blinks::
EbilRyuuzoku: *unlocks Shiranai too*
EbilRyuuzoku: =^_^=
Kekkou Aoshi: ^_^
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
EbilRyuuzoku: =o.o= Heeeey *walks over to the fallen guy*
EbilRyuuzoku: *pokes him* Are you deaed?
Arch mage144: He's not dead.
Arch mage144: Just resting.
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Adjusts his glasses and rubs his wrists, looking at Kamos::
Arch mage144: ...I think.
EbilRyuuzoku: Awww....
T3chn0Namagomi: *and the music box fell out of his pocket, still with the figurines of Kamos and Aya*
FDeth: o_o
Arch mage144: He's also very creepy.
EbilRyuuzoku: *walks over to Kamos and kneels beside him*
Arch mage144: You really ought to stay away from him. >.>;;
EbilRyuuzoku: Kamos.....*picks up the music box*
EbilRyuuzoku: He still has feelings for me....after all this time....
Will Baseton: He's obsessed.
Arch mage144: I agree. But then...I can't really understand obsession anyway.
Will Baseton: I've been trying to convince him to give you up, but he's more stuck on you than a barnacle.
Arch mage144: At least my arcane texts won't ever turn their back on me.
Arch mage144: ...well, most of them won't anyway.
FDeth: *concentrates, and casts Cure on Kamos* o_o
Will Baseton: Yeah, there's always the Tome.
EbilRyuuzoku: *has fuzzy affinity and has somehow discovered Quentin* Puppy!
Kekkou Aoshi: ...>_> My only love is living somewhere in Nekonia. I haven't seen her for 10 years...
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shrug::
Kekkou Aoshi: o_o
Arch mage144: *Kamos will regain consciousness in a couple minutes*
EbilRyuuzoku: *puts the figures back in his music box and sighs*
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh, and that guy over there? Arrest him.
Arch mage144: *kneels down and pokes at Renard*
Arch mage144: ...too late for that.
Kekkou Aoshi: Yeah...
Will Baseton: ...he's dead?
Arch mage144: I think so.
Kekkou Aoshi: I feel no heat from him...
EbilRyuuzoku: Ah, well then...
T3chn0Namagomi: *starts to come to*.....
EbilRyuuzoku: Bastard....
Arch mage144: At least he's a dead bastard.
T3chn0Namagomi: =.=......-.-.....
Kekkou Aoshi: ...<_< >_> We could always mutilate him...
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah....this whole time *shudders*
FDeth: o_o ....aw...but....dead is bad.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah but he was bad.
EbilRyuuzoku: He was going to KILL me!
FDeth: ...so he needs to be dead? o.o?
Arch mage144: ...maybe.
Arch mage144: I'm not in the mood to argue the ethics of killing him.
EbilRyuuzoku: Well it's either me or him....
FDeth: ...if ye say so. I never understand things like that. ._.
Arch mage144: *looks at Tyrane* This has been a hell of a "vacation."
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks up*
Kekkou Aoshi: Death is a very natural thing. That's all I know.
Kekkou Aoshi: ^_^
Arch mage144: I'd ask for our money back, but we didn't pay you anything.
EbilRyuuzoku: Kamos.....
T3chn0Namagomi: ??
Arch mage144: T: ...does this mean you won't ever come back and visit Steamtown again?
Kekkou Aoshi: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: Puppypuppypuppy!
Kekkou Aoshi: No but...I do have one request...
EbilRyuuzoku: I...um...might not. Sorry....
Will Baseton: ...if you can fix it...and make it more positive, sure.
Arch mage144: Q: Woof!
EbilRyuuzoku: I...kinda don't like how history progressed in that....
Arch mage144: T: I can fix that!
Kekkou Aoshi: I very much enjoyed the ladies...can you make those real?
Will Baseton: That wasn't his fault, remember?
Arch mage144: T: ...as real as you can imagine them to be. *grins*
T3chn0Namagomi: What, Aya...
FDeth: o_o ...
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
Arch mage144: Q: *blinks over and tackles Ayra, licking her face*
EbilRyuuzoku: *giggles* Puppy!
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Begins imagining a couple of women very similar to those he saw::
Will Baseton: Sis, remember that it was Renard's treachery that accomplished all of that.
Arch mage144: Q: *stops licking Ayra and lies down*
FDeth: So! Do we goes back to th' castle an' see if Pervy is there yet? n_n
T3chn0Namagomi: ....v.v....I don't deserve to be anywhere near you, Aya...
Kekkou Aoshi: ...o.o ::Tests his ankle::
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets up and heads for the stairs*
Arch mage144: *Shiranai's ankle is still a little off*
Arch mage144: Hey, Kamos!
EbilRyuuzoku: Kamos...don't say things like that...
Arch mage144: ...don't get yourself killed, alright?
EbilRyuuzoku: *sighs*
FDeth: ...hey, do ye still got the nifty loot?
T3chn0Namagomi: It's the truth, Aya, and....thanks Hakaril...
Kekkou Aoshi: Are the guns real?
FDeth: Like the lightnin'...thing...and stuff. o_o
Arch mage144: *Kamos has his money and his rifle, but not his tesla gun or needle gun*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Looks around::
Will Baseton: Later, Kamos. You helped us out a lot.
Arch mage144: *he has hi shotgun too, obviously*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Damnit....well...at least I didn't lose anything...
Kekkou Aoshi: Oh...Kamos...your ear.
T3chn0Namagomi: I don't care about my damn ear
Arch mage144: *his ear, however, while not actually missing a portion, does sting*
FDeth: *inspects himself for burns!*
T3chn0Namagomi: Even if it was missing a part....
Arch mage144: *Pete's body has several electrical burns on it*
FDeth: ....aw....
T3chn0Namagomi: It doesn't really hurt as much as other things...
Will Baseton: *examines himself*
Arch mage144: T: The trip was all in your mind, anyway. Created by mental magic. *nod*
FDeth: Well, the Cap'n's a fancy whitemage, s' it's more reason t' go find 'im! n_n
T3chn0Namagomi: (One could see the music box he left there on the floor)
Arch mage144: T: Unfortunately, your body still responds to injuries...
T3chn0Namagomi: **
Arch mage144: T: The brain is convinced perfectly, it seems.
EbilRyuuzoku: That's rather dangerous......
Arch mage144: T: It is. But it can be rather fun.
T3chn0Namagomi: *the red music box remains on the upper floor*
Will Baseton: True...but then again, the possibilities for this could be endless.
Arch mage144: T: Why do you think it fascinates me so much?
EbilRyuuzoku: *picks up the music box*
Will Baseton: You could market it as a way to live another life for a short time, or something like that...
Arch mage144: T: We can make entire worlds if we want to...anything we desire...
Kekkou Aoshi: ...[]::Hits Brian for ripping off The Matrix::[]
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Wishes that never die...dreams that never end...that is my real curse...
Arch mage144: ...if I ever see anymore clockworks, I'm going to go crazy on them. >_>;
Kekkou Aoshi: I also...
Arch mage144: I'm going to head back to the castle.
T3chn0Namagomi: *one could hear Kamos already descending*
Will Baseton: All right. Then I'll see you later, Hakaril.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...<_<
Kekkou Aoshi: >_>
FDeth: ...oh, yeah! I'll go with him! n_n
Kekkou Aoshi: Is there, by chance, some extra lodging in the Castle?
FDeth: *follows Hak*
Arch mage144: There is MORE than enough extra lodging.
Arch mage144: I would say "but we don't serve psychopaths," except that you seem to be reasonable.
Kekkou Aoshi: Oh trust me...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Like an angel fallen, I descend...Like a cruel soul dead, I fall...
Kekkou Aoshi: I'm very psychopathic.
Kekkou Aoshi: I'm also very drained.
Kekkou Aoshi: ...I'm also a nomad.
EbilRyuuzoku: *opens the music box and stares at the figures inside*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I wonder......
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: What it would have been like....if I had made my decision different....
Kekkou Aoshi: Also..
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I'll never know....
Kekkou Aoshi: You seem to know a lot about mystical energies.
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks to the couch and the crowns* IM: .....or maybe.....
Kekkou Aoshi: Perhaps you can tell me more about my pyrokinesis.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:...As my soul lays there, destroyed...
Arch mage144: Who, me?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shrug:: Why not?
FDeth: >.> ...
Kekkou Aoshi: Need payment or something?
T3chn0Namagomi: *and leaves the tower, and flies off...maybe to Valth*
Arch mage144: No. No need to pay me anything.
EbilRyuuzoku: Tyrande.... *motions him aside*
Arch mage144: T: Yes...? *steps aside*
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, Hakaril is on his way out*
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Follows him, putting extra pressure on his ankle to try to numb it::
Arch mage144: *and will, in maybe an hour of game time, be back at the castle!*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:As I said...I don't deserve to be anywhere near her...
FDeth: *is following Hak and Shir!*
EbilRyuuzoku: Maybe...sometime well not now but soon I'd like to .... *starts by explaining a decision she made ages ago....*
Arch mage144: T: *listens intently...*
EbilRyuuzoku: I've always wondered......what things would be like if I had picked him instead....
Kekkou Aoshi: []::Must go momentarily::[]
Arch mage144: T: Perhaps...I can work something out.
Arch mage144: T: Sometime you can try it. *nod*
Arch mage144: T: Is that all?
EbilRyuuzoku: Yes....*lowers voice* Don't tell anyone about it.....
EbilRyuuzoku: Please.....
Arch mage144: T: I won't. *nod*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:All I deserve is pain and loneliness for the rest of my accursed life...
T3chn0Namagomi: </IC>
Arch mage144: (Is everyone done?)
Arch mage144: (I have a postlog type thing.)
Will Baseton: (I guess so.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (Pretty much *nods*)
FDeth: </Pete, most ph34rsome pirate ever!>
Will Baseton: </Will>
Arch mage144: *a week later, at the castle...*
Arch mage144: AYA!
EbilRyuuzoku: .....yeah?
Arch mage144: ...there you are.
Arch mage144: I have...rather odd news.
EbilRyuuzoku: Um, what is it?
T3chn0Namagomi: </Kamos, merc with a few actual tricks up his sleeve>
Arch mage144: Do you remember what Tyrane said about belief creating things in a world of magic?
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Passing by, having seen Hak in the hall::
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah....can't exactly forget that experience....
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Just stops and listens::
Arch mage144: ...a new plane has recently just spontaneously been created.
Kekkou Aoshi: o.o
Arch mage144: It showed up almost at the exact same time we went on our little "excursion" to Steamtown.
EbilRyuuzoku: .....new plane?
Arch mage144: I did some scrying...and according to my observations...
EbilRyuuzoku: How can new planes just...be created??
Arch mage144: "Steamtown" actually exists as an alternate plane now.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....WHAT?! O_o
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Shrugs, having nothing to do with the coversation::
EbilRyuuzoku: Holy crap, that's some strong magic that guy was using...
Arch mage144: It's probably somewhat different from what we experienced...but the point is that I have confirmed the existence of at least one parallel universe.
Arch mage144: Strong magic, yes...but more importantly...belief.
Arch mage144: Did you ever doubt that what you were experiencing actually existed?
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I smell incoming magic theory babble....
EbilRyuuzoku: Well, it was hard for me to....
EbilRyuuzoku: It all felt so real...the smells, the auras, everything...
Arch mage144: ...once you accept something as reality, it tends to persist, whether you like it or not.
Arch mage144: It's a lot harder to believe what you're seeing than to not believe it.
Arch mage144: (Switch those.)
Kekkou Aoshi: ::Saunters off down the hall, singing something about "Trading your starving eyes for a tarred and feathered heart" and "of beautiful sacred things and your immaculate disguise"::
EbilRyuuzoku: (Was gonna say...)
Arch mage144: ...anyway...
Arch mage144: I don't know if I'll ever necessarily willingly visit that place again.
Arch mage144: But it exists.
EbilRyuuzoku: The lack of magic...is rather depressing...
Arch mage144: Magic must be too much for some people. Life is probably easier for them without it, I suppose.
Kekkou Aoshi: They then hear guards down the hall call something::
Kekkou Aoshi: *::
Kekkou Aoshi: ::And then Shiranai laughing grow distant::
Arch mage144: If rules and laws and science that everyone can understand and that behaves in an inherantly logical manner explain everything, it certainly makes life a lot simpler, doesn't it?
Arch mage144: *shrugs*
EbilRyuuzoku: *shrugs* Maybe, but I couldn't imagine life without it....
Arch mage144: Me neither. And I'm not giving it up without a fight.
Arch mage144: Anyway...back to work, yeah?
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah...back to work...
Kekkou Aoshi: </Shiranai - Psychotpath, ronin, dentist, BURN>
Arch mage144: </Hakaril...and the GM...and the RP!>
EbilRyuuzoku: </Aya, Royal ryuuzoku and honorary far seer>
