You have just entered room "hotbuns."
MischiefMink has entered the room.
Raiden sparx has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Whoa! I didn't realize what time it was! I'm so sorry!)
Lithaladhwen
: (I got out of work at nine, and Brian and I ate dinner. Didn't realize how late it was. Didn't mean to hold you up.)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (No problemo)
Leviathan Bound has entered the room.
blender_bunny@mac.com
: For those fortunate enough to forget the last time, our brave heroes had summoned a terrible evil that hasn't been seen since well, since they were given their last assignment. Kaiser has also made a friend.
DancerVeiled: Ayame is still praying (to a specific god now!) that the destiny chogos aren't going to kill them all.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu is having fun with his new small friends.
Jukkaimaru
has entered the room.
Raiden sparx: The troops were gathering around, trying to see what was going on.
DancerVeiled
: ... Ayame is specifically praying that Tomasu doesn't drive them to kill them all.
MischiefMink: Ode stood off to one side, trying to figure out just why coming into the swamp seemed like such a good idea.
Lithaladhwen: Tassi is holding a little girl!
DancerVeiled
: Demon-girl... >.>
Leviathan Bound: For a moment, a split second even, Kaiser wondered whether sending his new Lion-Dog friend to gnaw on Marius was such a good idea... but the thought quickly passed.
Raiden sparx: One of the troopmen had taken a spare cape from the group equipment sacks, slicing it into three separate small capes for the Celestial Chogos.
Leviathan Bound
: "Alright, guys... I don't mean to be a harsh taskmaster or anything, but we're only a few hundred yards from the
Leviathan Bound: Manse and I'd really like to make it before nightfall. And those of you that enjoy your spleens should agree. So, can we go now... and maybe... leave the little things... here?"
Raiden sparx: To fit in better with their new run-arounds.
MischiefMink
: "I agree... though I'm not sure the little things will be left behind, whether we want it or no."
MischiefMink: "They're rather... persistant."
Lithaladhwen: "Ode?" Tassi asked. "What do you suggest I do with our young friend here? Shall I just attempt to keep her out of danger as best I can?"
blender_bunny@mac.com: "We are persistant!""Real go-getters!""An up and at-em attitude!""CRACKER-JACK!" They shouted together.
DancerVeiled: "I'm right behind you, Kaiser." Ayame says, staying away from the little chogos and being very eager to be inside a manse.
MischiefMink: "...that's probably best, for now," Ode agreed.
DancerVeiled: "... Bueracrats." She grumbles.
blender_bunny@mac.com
: Tassi's passenger is in a current state of shock frozen halfway between delight and absolute terror at the chogos.
Raiden sparx: The men gathered closer to the chogos as they handed the capes over to the tiny Lionettes.
Lithaladhwen
: Tassi sighed. "I'll do my best. It's not like I'm going to be wading into battle swinging a weapon anyway."
Leviathan Bound
: "Indeed. Off we go then. Keep an eye out, I imagine the chittering little demon spawns' noise-making will draw out some of the meaner tenants of the Swamp." Kaiser sighed a bit while tying the shreds of kimono-top around his waist.
DancerVeiled: "You mean, besides you?" Ayame grins at Kaiser, "I'm joking, naturally."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu stood up from where he was kneeling, motioning for his men to follow.
MischiefMink
: "...indeed. If anything, she's probably safest with you."
Leviathan Bound: A resounding chuckle echoed outward from the massive chest of the Full Moon Lunar. "Indeed. Though, I l
Leviathan Bound: ike to think of myself as Utilitarianist... not mean. Some people... just have to die. That's the sad thing, ya know? Protect the many by killing the few and all that..."
Raiden sparx: "Just how few is this number of mortals you've sit and watched walk to their deaths in this forest?" Tomasu looked with a straight face. "Just asking."
DancerVeiled
: Ayame gives him a long, hard, very weirded-out look, "Yeah. I thiiiiink I get it. It's the same thing the wyld hunt used to say to me, y'know."
DancerVeiled: She smacks her head, "Aiy-yai... Does anyone not want us dead?"
MischiefMink: "Not that it'll help matters," Ode said, " but the mortals may or may not have been dead before they came into the swamp."
Lithaladhwen: Tassi rolled her eyes. "I understand that not everyone can be saved. But it's not my job to kill them. Let's just get our job done. I don't like the idea of leaving mortals ont heir own."
Leviathan Bound
: "Significantly fewer than the number I've protected by doing some... and about the same number as those I've been able to convince to just leave the swamp. Unlike you
Leviathan Bound: ladies and gentleman." The tone insenuated that Kaiser wasn't interested in continuing that particular discussion.
MischiefMink: "The spirits said they were collecting bodies, which...well, rather implies that they were dead before. I can't be sure on that though. I honestly didn't ask."
blender_bunny@mac.com: The chogos are given capes, every assembled member can feel this is a bad idea.
Raiden sparx: Except for Tomasu.
blender_bunny@mac.com: Except for Tomasu.
Raiden sparx: Nothing brings about cameraderie more than matching capes.
DancerVeiled
: Ayame smirks, both at Kaiser's retort and at being left out of the cape-clique.
DancerVeiled: She tries, futily, to brush some muck off of her buff jacket.
Leviathan Bound: Leading the way, Kaiser continued to trample through the Swamp at a more or less moderate speed for those in the group that weren't so adept at bog-jumping. Occassionally, Kaiser would
Leviathan Bound: grab something off a bush or cup something out of the water and pop it into his mouth... the smart ones in the group probably wouldn't ask what it was.
Lithaladhwen: Tassi is willing to assume they are not tea biscuits and is content with that.
DancerVeiled
: Ayame, like Tassi, practices the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" methodology of intellegence gathering.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu decided to move behind his troops, helping across those that were having trouble with the thick swamp.
MischiefMink
: Ode keeps walking in much the same trudging manner as she has done this far.
Leviathan Bound: Slowing down his pace, Kaiser led the group up to what looked to be a nigh impenetrable wall of overgrown ivy, swamp mangrove trees, and other green nastiness. After waiting for the last of the weary troops
Leviathan Bound: to catch up, Kaiser reached out a massive hand and pulled away a large section of the overgrowth to reveal the Swamp Manse. "We have arrived. Remember the rules we talked about earlier."
blender_bunny@mac.com: The swamp was a moist, squishy, and smelly experience. Goo clung to everyone and every object. Vines and plants caught on clothes and hair. The ancient stone monument looked about the same as the group.
blender_bunny@mac.com: , except it has obviously been sitting in the swamp for far longer than half a day. Oddly enough the ancient stone building had a massive tree growing straight through the center of it.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu looked over his men, bringing them to a halt. "Alright. Use the rules for friendly territory. Get some sleep if you can." The troops nodded, placing their swords and heavy armor
Raiden sparx
: into the troop equipment before heading closer to the manse, keeping only their side short swords and civilian clothing for rest.
DancerVeiled
: Ayame walks inside, and begins the process of less-futily attempting to clean her armor and weapon.
Lithaladhwen: Tassi, glad for a chance to sit down someplace relatively solid, follows Ayame's lead and heads in as well.
DancerVeiled
: Once finished, she goes about plucking off various leeches and evil swamp-beasts from areas beneath her armor. Guh. Swamps were terribly unsanitary, as any combat medic should know!
MischiefMink: Ode follows Tassi and Ayame into the somewhat-indoor area
Leviathan Bound: Kaiser, infinitely ecstatic to be back home and in less danger of waking up the Yozi, shrugged his shoulders backwards a few times to work out the knots and then began to treck into the Manse and towards the Hearthstone room.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu waits outside to count his men as they pass, just in case. He didn't want to lose any after just getting them back. "...23...24.......25. Alright, everyone's here."
DancerVeiled
: In fact, most of Tomasu's troops could suffer from infection if not properly treated. "Hey, Tomasu. Your men have a medic?"
blender_bunny@mac.com
: "So are we!""Yep!""I'M THE DARK AVENGER!"
Raiden sparx: "We have one. Sadly we left most of our medical equipment back in town."
DancerVeiled
: "Well, I'm probably better anyway..." She grins, "I'll take a look at em."
Raiden sparx: "Thanks, Ayame." Tomasu unclasped his cape. (Yeah. That's right) He put it with the rest of the troop gear, wearing only his lamellar. "I'm going to give a look around while they rest."
DancerVeiled
: "Alright. Take care out there, cap'n." She salutes him comically.
Raiden sparx: He gave a small salute back, his troops doing the same as he headed out. "At ease, everyone. If Ayame tells you to do something, just do it."
DancerVeiled
: "That's right, you apes! You've slogged through a swamp for the last three hours, and you're probably gonna all get sicker than dogs."
Lithaladhwen: Tassi smiled. She appreciated a group that appreciated the healers who kept them alive.
Raiden sparx
: Tomasu stuck his head back in. "Ayame, be nice."
DancerVeiled
: "Psh, they ain't nice in the legions, and you know it."
DancerVeiled: She grins wryly at him.
Raiden sparx: "This ain't the legions. If it was, we'd be dead."
Raiden sparx
: "I'm thankful for that."
DancerVeiled
: "Man's got a point." She grins at the assembled scale.
Raiden sparx: "Besides, we've been in the legions. The legions suck. Seriously."
MischiefMink
: Ode sat in a corner and leaned up against the wall, suddenly rather exhausted. 'I guess all that slogging through the swamp tired me faster than I expected...'
Lithaladhwen: Tassi sat down next to the only person she currently had any familiarity with and allowed the child she was carrying to hang out on her lap or wherever she was comfortable.
Lithaladhwen
: Sometimes kids like to sit down, too.
blender_bunny@mac.com: The men are thankfully in good shape, except for the 18 leeches removed, three puss filled cuts, the early onset of trench leg, and a case of a disease that could only be caused by intimate contact.
DancerVeiled: "... 'Alright... I don't wanna know where you got this, but you'll be fine." Ayame rolls her eyes as she patches up the last soldier, "Anyway, let's take a rest. May not get another one for awhile."
DancerVeiled: She slumps down agaisnt a wall of the manse, and takes some time to relax.
blender_bunny@mac.com
: Kaiser on inspecting his scrying room, and what a scrying room it was, has discovered a slowly warping of the dragon lines, well slow weeks ago, now it was quite fast for something that usually takes lifetimes to warp.
Leviathan Bound: "Shit." Kaiser moved a few arcane looking dials and attempted to triangulate the source of the warping by comparing the bending Dragon Lines to one another, while
Leviathan Bound: at the same time trying to figure out the length of time it would take, at the current rate of speed, for the Dragon Lines to get completely fucked.
DancerVeiled: Ayame, meanwhile, is streching and patting herself on the back for avoiding imminent disaster, while Kaiser has the sole perview on the next epic catastrophe(TM).
MischiefMink: Ode simply relaxes, leaning against the wall and closing her eyes; content to simply rest for the moment.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu heads around the Manse, seeing what he can see.
blender_bunny@mac.com: Tomasu you find many things including but not limited to 4 extra kimonos, a swamp rat that has found it's way in through a crack in the wall, a brilliant piece of calligraphy in old realm, and a very comfy bed.
blender_bunny@mac.com: The Dragon lines are already completely fucked, at their current rate though they'll make a perfect intersection over the geographic center of the swamp though.
blender_bunny@mac.com: Their steady movement is about 90 yards per day, this is very fast for ambient energy.
blender_bunny@mac.com: EVENT HORIZON WAS IN LESS THAN THREE HOURS AND CLOSING.
blender_bunny@mac.com: !!!
blender_bunny@mac.com: !!!!!
blender_bunny@mac.com: !!!!!
blender_bunny@mac.com: ...!!!!!
DancerVeiled: Ayame feels a palpable nudge of... Wait, that was unmistakable...
DancerVeiled: IMMINENT PERIL!
Raiden sparx has left the room.
MischiefMink: Ode also blinks awake, sensing /a disturbance in the force/ a definite sense of looming danger.
Raiden sparx has entered the room.
Raiden sparx: (re-invite to OOC?)
Leviathan Bound
: "Fuck!!!" Kaiser, basically in a state of accute nueral failure, raked his hands across the mini-essence board that represented the Swamp,
DancerVeiled: "I have a feeling of impending doom..." Ayame mutters aloud.
Leviathan Bound: sending pieces of First Age dials and nobs screaming across the room before smashing against the wall. After ranting and raving for a good three minutes,
Leviathan Bound: which naturally involved no less than three destroyed consoles, Kaiser flipped a few switches infusing the entire Manse with enough essence to carry his voice throughout it's corridors. "Everyone get your
Leviathan Bound: asses into the Hearthstone room... NOW! Follow the essence patterns in the floors."
DancerVeiled: *BRRZZRRT*
DancerVeiled: Klaxons...
Lithaladhwen: Tassi.... gets up, extending a hand to Hiyoko in case the girl wants to continue getting free rides.
DancerVeiled
: Only someone from Lookshy would recognize fucking Klaxons.
DancerVeiled: Ayame bolts to the hearthstone room in record time.
MischiefMink: Ode quickly gets to her feet and follows. "Looks like our rest is over," she mutters as she runs
Raiden sparx: Tomasu heard the yelling as he ran back to his troops. "MOVE OUT! Stay together as we head to the room!"
Leviathan Bound
: By the time people started arriving the Hearthstone room was more or less put back together... sort of.... accept for the claw marks in the walls and a bit of scattered debris laying about.
Leviathan Bound: Kaiser however, was looking batshit insane... not in the kill-everyone sort of way... but in the oh-shit-we're-all-dead kind of way.
DancerVeiled: "Tell me about it!" Ayame calls back to Ode over her shoulder, "What else could go wrong?"
Lithaladhwen: It could be worse, Tassi thought. Could be raining.
DancerVeiled
: "What the hell is happening?!" She shouts to Kaiser as she skids into the room.
Leviathan Bound: Kaiser's hair had been pulled out of it's topknot and was hanging over his face all Jekyll And Hyde style, but he quickly pulled it back into a hastily put together ponytail as they started flooding the room. "Hell is about right."
DancerVeiled: "... You're kidding."
DancerVeiled: "Hell is HAPPENING!?"
Leviathan Bound: "More or less." Kaiser, trying to calm himself down, slid over to a display panel and brought up the 3d Essence Map of the Swamp's Dragon Lines. "First, a quick crash course in World Ending Catastrophe.
Leviathan Bound: This was the Dragon Line Geomantic Matrix of the Swamp two weeks ago... " Kaiser slid a few thingies. "... and this is the Dragon Lines Geomantic Matrix of the Swamp now..." A few
Leviathan Bound: more nobs were turned. "... and this is in three hours, which is about how much time we have to live."
Leviathan Bound: "Any questions?"
Lithaladhwen: "Oh, well. I think that about sums it up. Solutions, then?"
Raiden sparx
: "I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the Yozi is doing it?"
DancerVeiled
: "... Okay." Ayame says, "Lines are converging. I take it this is bad. How bad?"
MischiefMink: "Very bad. Fuck... There are few words to describe how incredibly fucking bad this is."
Leviathan Bound: "How bad? Imagine the very fabric of Creation rippling... and then shredding itself into a million pieces. Basically... either
Leviathan Bound: something horrible will come into Creation... or a significant chunk of this nation is going to basically fucking evaporate. Got it?"
MischiefMink: "It might actually be easier to just wake up the yozi and hope it kills us first."
Lithaladhwen: Tassi took a deep breath, trying very very hard not to let the anxiety in the air get to her. There was a solution. There was always a solution. They just... had to find it.
MischiefMink
: "...as Kaiser said. BAD."
DancerVeiled: "Evaporate..." Ayame says quietly.
DancerVeiled: "Okay... We should... Run away?"
MischiefMink: "In three hours, we won't be near far away enough."
Leviathan Bound: "You couldn't possibly run fast enough. And besides I thought you were the great humanitarian who wanted to save all the mortals. Just gonna let them fucking die?"
DancerVeiled: "Well, not really..." Ayame shrugs.
DancerVeiled: "Is your manse evaporation-resistant?"
MischiefMink: "Nothing is going to escape this. Unless we find some way to prevent the evaporation from happening."
Leviathan Bound: "Uh... maybe? I have no idea. I don't think they tested Manses for this sort of thing during the First Age."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu rubbed his chin. "....bring up the screen. See if you can focus in on where the lines will meet."
Leviathan Bound
: "They meet right here... at the geomantic center of the Swamp. The center of the Swamp just so happens to be... surprise surprise... where the fucking Yozi was sleeping!?!"
DancerVeiled: "Naturally. Well, at least now we're sure you weren't lying." Ayame says sarcastically, "Happy, Tomasu?"
Raiden sparx: Tomasu's eyes scanned the map, ignoring Ayame's snips. "Be sarcastic after we either die or find a way to live, Ayame."
Leviathan Bound
: Kaiser hands his head in defeat after vaguely considering killing them all so that when the Yozi eats him he'll atleast feel accomplished.
Leviathan Bound: (hands = hangs)
Raiden sparx: (Why can't I get back in OOC?)
DancerVeiled
: "I'd rather be sarcastic, y'know, before we die." Ayame shrugs, "I mean, it's hard once you're already dead."
DancerVeiled: "But alright. Let's go kick the Yozi's ass. That's gotta work, right?"
Leviathan Bound: "Not entirely true, I've heard of ghosts using sarcas-... nevermind..."
MischiefMink: "So it would seem we should head towards the center of the swamp then.
MischiefMink: Whether we try to confront the yozi or find a way to reverse these lines or some other option, it seems that's the only place we're going to find answers."
Lithaladhwen: Tassi sighed and nodded. Nothing worth doing was ever easy. It usually doesn't even MAKE SENSE, she thought.
Leviathan Bound
: Kaiser, whose brain has just broken, gives Ayame a look of utter disgust. "You do understand the
Leviathan Bound: ridiculous nature of your suggestion, right? From what I've heard it took immensely powerful Solar Exalted to even scratch the Primordials during the First Age. What the hell do you think we can do?"
Raiden sparx: "We watch. We plan. Then we act. THAT is what we can do."
DancerVeiled
: She shrugs, "We don't have to kill it." She says, "You know sorcerors generally fail their spells if they're suitably distracted."
DancerVeiled: "It might work the same way for a demon, right?"
MischiefMink: "We have no time to plan. We have three hours before the world implodes!"
Raiden sparx: "Now, you can either flip out and start breaking shit again and start blaming us for this, or realize that it just woke up a bit sooner than it was going to."
DancerVeiled
: "At the very least, it buys time."
Raiden sparx: "And three hours is plenty of time."
Raiden sparx
: "Rule 1 of Solardom. The truly epic legends are victories won in the last straights."
Leviathan Bound
: "Silence! Everyone shut the fuck up for a second." Kaiser leaned up against the wall for a moment in order to think. "Alright... here's what we're going to do..."
Leviathan Bound: "I'll go out to the center of the Swamp, Tomasu and Ayame come with me... bring your mortals too. The three of us will try to slow it down as long as we can before it inevitably
Leviathan Bound: eats us.... while you two use the resources of this Manse and the spirits in the area to try and devise a plan that will actually work."
DancerVeiled: "He used my plan!" Ayame grins to herself happily.
Lithaladhwen: "......I..." Tassi was totally at a loss. She didn't know how to solve this, and the idea of allies running off to die while she and a couple of others thought of a plan was deeply disturbing.
MischiefMink
: "...I understand. We'll try to think of something before it eats you."
DancerVeiled: "I don't like getting eaten..." Ayame adds.
Leviathan Bound: "That'd be nice..."
Lithaladhwen: "Perhaps... perhaps I could go. And you could stay to help the others think of a plan," Tassi offered hesitantly. Both groups should have a medical-type, but Ayame would have a much better idea of what was going on.
Lithaladhwen
: As a result... the others needed Ayame alive more than they needed Tassi.
Leviathan Bound
: "We need Savants and Scholars to stay behind and think of a plan... Ayame breaks things with her hammer. No offense, Ayame."
DancerVeiled: "None taken, I pride my ability to break stuff." She grins.
Leviathan Bound: "Are we agreed then?"
Lithaladhwen: Tassi took a deep breath. "I'll help if I can. Just tell me if you need me to do anything."
DancerVeiled
: "Try to not let us die, 'kay?" ^_^
MischiefMink: "...we'll figure something out, Tassi," Ode said quietly. To the others, she nodded. "We'll work as quickly as possible."
DancerVeiled: "We'll give you as much time as we can." Ayame nods, and fixes her jacket.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu nodded to the scholars, then turned to his men. "Squad A. Remain here at the manse and assist them as they work."
Raiden sparx
: "Squads B through E, equip for intense combat."
Raiden sparx
: (Which means you people at the Manse have 5 grunts to basically use for whatever you're going to do.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Yay grunts!)
Leviathan Bound
: Kaiser nodded to the lot of them. "Ayame... Tomasu.... suit up. We leave in ten minutes." The rather
Leviathan Bound: grim faced Kaiser charged off down one of the Manse's winding corridors... either to suit up for battle... or say a prayer to die a good death.
DancerVeiled: "Suit up? I never suited down!" She calls after him, "Eh... Sloths."
blender_bunny@mac.com
: The three chogos stood there. "What should we do?""We can help!""We are helpful!"
MischiefMink: "...you don't have any miracles on hand, do you?" asked Ode. "Because right now that would be helpful."
Lithaladhwen: "This is why Hakaril gets dragged around all over bloody creation. Problems like this need a madman's touch."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "...Uh. Quick check your pcokets!""What pockets!""I don't have any miracle in my pockets!""We don't have pockets!"
MischiefMink: "...then stay out of the way, unless I tell you to do something."
Raiden sparx: "Well, you three have a choice. You can stay here and figure out a way to put a Yozi back to sleep...or come with us and try to kick its ass."
DancerVeiled
: "We can't all kick it's ass. If we do that, who'll save ours?" Ayame suggests.
Raiden sparx: "Heaven sent them to us for a reason. We just need to figure out why."
MischiefMink
: Ode ignored the others for the moment and stepped up to the control panel.
MischiefMink: Rolling up her sleeves, she looked over the various buttons and knobs, trying to familiarize herself with the layout.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "I think Mr. Purple said it was his idea of a joke :D""...What's that mean?""I think it means we're hilarious!"
Raiden sparx: "And what about that Celestial Lion that showed up as well?"
MischiefMink
: Ode stopped for a moment and looked at them. "This is... you knew this was going on? You're involved?"
blender_bunny@mac.com: "He's here to help!""HALP!""HURRAY FOR HALPING!"
Lithaladhwen: Tassi slapped herself in the face.
MischiefMink
: "Yes, but the question is, are you helping us? Or are you just here to make sure we can't do anything?"
DancerVeiled: Ayame slaps her face. "Dear Sun in Yu-Shan, we are royally fucked."
MischiefMink: "Well we knew that."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu found a fresh cape, clasping it around his neck and letting it cover his lamellar.
DancerVeiled
: "More royally fucked than we were five seconds ago."
blender_bunny@mac.com
: "Everybody is destined for great things, Yurgen!""Yeah...just nothing was happening so we had to make great things happen."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Yep! This is going be so destined for amazing things that Mr. Purple will have to acknowledge we are awesome planners!"
Raiden sparx: He attached his two daiklaves to his back, making sure they were in a good position.
Lithaladhwen
: "I would like you to be awesome helpers, you know. That would impress me."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "REAAAAAAAALLY?!""Don't worry, we'll be the best destiny helpers ever!""The bestest ever, never sung about in the songs of the people we helped!"
MischiefMink: "...indeed. But if we're all about to face imminent death, can you at least call me by my name? It's Ode, not Yurgen."
Lithaladhwen: "If you help us solve this, I will never forget about you. And I'll tell other people how helpful and brilliant you were."
DancerVeiled
: Ayame gets her shiny hammer of shiny doom, and poses with Tomasu.
Lithaladhwen: Tassi nodded. "Then everyone will know."
DancerVeiled
: Who is posing.
DancerVeiled: Cause he has a cape.
MischiefMink: (Sparkles shimmer in the air around them!)
blender_bunny@mac.com: "..Imminent death? Did we plan that?""Nope! That hardly sounds epic!"
blender_bunny@mac.com: "I planned for cake....it's delicious."
Raiden sparx: (When you have a cape, there's no NEED to pose.)
Raiden sparx
: (You look badass by default.)
MischiefMink
: "Anyway...just try to remember my name," Ode muttered, turning back to the controls. Then a thought struck her, and she looked around. "Although, speaking of helpers..."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu took a breath, moving his red hair from his face. "I'm ready to hit the road. Just need the Lunar."
DancerVeiled
: "Why are we just standing here?!" Ayame asks Tomasu.
DancerVeiled: "We need to move!"
blender_bunny@mac.com
: "Don't worry, everything works out!""Yeah your plan is totally brilliant!""STOP SPOILING THE STORY FOR THEM!"
MischiefMink: After some searching she spotted the spirit brat leaning against the doorway. "You! You stay close. I think we're going to need you, too."
Leviathan Bound: As if by Fate or perhaps just because of his over-perceptive ears, Kaiser come barrelling out of the Manse just in time to meet up with Ayame and Tomasu. Granted, Kaiser wasn't wearing any
Leviathan Bound: armor or carrying any weapons, but he didn't really need either of those to be honest.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "I think their old ally betraying them for his own selfish goals was a nice touch!""...I didn't add that.""Neither did I.""...Uh-oh."
Lithaladhwen: "....Clarify? Humor an old woman and tell her what the hell that means?"
Raiden sparx
: "......alright. Anyone have any old allies we need to get into the open?"
DancerVeiled
: "No time for allies. Let's go." Ayame says.
MischiefMink: "...I would assume they're talking about Marius."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Mar...Mario?""Marius!""Yeah what Yur-...Ode said!"
Lithaladhwen: "Lovely," Tassi remarked. "He sounds like a peach."
Leviathan Bound
: "Oh, I imagine that the Swamp Clans will have already felt the warping of the Lines and headed there themselves. So no, I'm all out of allies."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu turned to look at his men. There was no way they would survive this. But he couldn't leave them behind. Even an extra minute would suffice.
MischiefMink
: "He was the one who wanted to study the yozi. So he's turned on us... that's not too surprising."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "We get to play the boss music!""Ssssh! Stop spoiling it!""Should I go get the cake?"
Lithaladhwen: "I hope it eats him. Just him. Maybe Marius will be a choking hazard or something and solve our problem for us."
MischiefMink
: "...possibly. But if through some chance he's on the same side as the yozi...which... sounds likely if he's 'betrayed' us..."
MischiefMink: "Well, I suppose we really can't be in any deeper shit than we are currently."
Lithaladhwen: "Marius was on your side, and look how that turned out. No, I think the yozi would find a reason. I would if it were me."
DancerVeiled
has left the room.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu gave his men a look. "....each of you get a choice. I'm not going to force any of you to go with me. If you want to stay, then stay."
MischiefMink
: "Indeed." She continues to fiddle with the knobs and dials. "Indeed."
Leviathan Bound has left the room.
Raiden sparx: ((Guess we're shutting down for the night?))
Lithaladhwen
: (aye.)
