Raiden sparx: ((ooc? Someone keeps screwing with my net.))
blender_bunny@mac.com: When last we left our brave heroes, there was much stabbing and cataclysm. A swamp was sacrificed was to save a world. A couch was sacrificed for the deliciousness of hot chocolate.
Mesden has entered the room.
DancerVeiled: Ayame's feelings of being in-control were sacrificed for the hilarity of comedy.
blender_bunny@mac.com: It was awesome.
blender_bunny@mac.com: There was also talk of returning a certain poor innocent to her home, as to the general slop of the swamp.
Lithaladhwen: Tassi, having decided to keep her flask out in one hand, is content that for any problems in the near future... moderate quantities of alcohol will be the first step to a solution. So no matter what, she's prepared.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu was with his men, taking a bite from the honey bun he had been given.
MischiefMink: Ode is very tired, very muddy, and thus content to be quiet until a bath and change of clothes are more readily available.
DancerVeiled: Ayako has chocolate. She's happy, but still very muddy. Like Ode, she wants nothing more than a bath.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu wouldn't mind a good drink and a stop at the Brothel either, but there'll be time for that later.
Mesden: Tayuumi is drinking hot cocoa and looks very shaken, given current events. (I work with what I'm given!)
Raiden sparx: Tomasu looked over at Tayuumi, then down to his honey bun. "Want some?"
Mesden: "I'm fine..."
DancerVeiled: "Can we not fight any more Yozis?" Ayame asks Tomasu, "I don't know about you, but..."
Raiden sparx: "Come on. Take some. You look beaten up."
Mesden: Tayuumi takes some, albeit, hesitantly.
Raiden sparx: "And I dunno, Ayame. Fighting a Yozi is fun. So long as you don't mind the nightmares I'm very likely to get."
Mesden: Tayuumi nibbles impossibly small bites!
Lithaladhwen: Tassi glanced up at Tayuumi, not entirely sure who this person was, but fairly certain that if she were interesting, Tassi would learn in short order.
Lithaladhwen: If not, she'd be here in case something went wrong and had no more obligation than that.
Raiden sparx: He gave her a pat on the head, then turned back to his men to make sure they were all alright.
DancerVeiled: "Nightmares... Yeah." She shrugs. "Your men holding up?"
Raiden sparx: "From the looks of it, yeah. Though how they survived an attack on the manse like that is amazing."
Mesden: Tayuumi remained as silent as ever, not wanting to rethink about the goddamn demon-yozi fest.
DancerVeiled: Ayame nods, "Yeah..."
DancerVeiled: "Tough guys, eh?"
Raiden sparx: "Well, they're my troops. They better be tough. Else they get their ass kicked in training." He heard some grumbles behind him.
Mesden: "We are very, very stupid people." Tayuumi shakes her head, "Yozis..."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Yip."
Raiden sparx: "What? Why is that?" He looked back over at Tayuumi, his armor looking a little worse for the wear.
Lithaladhwen: "I disagree. I mean.... Well, what the hell are we here for if not to fight the mad old terrible things in life?"
DancerVeiled: "Hey, we beat it!" Ayame says. "I mean, I think so."
DancerVeiled: "We did beat it, didn't we?"
MischiefMink: "...I think so. More or less," Ode said.
Mesden: "I don't even think I know you...but fighting isn't what I do."
Lithaladhwen: "Nor I," Tassi quipped with a smirk.
Lithaladhwen: "Trust me."
Raiden sparx: "Well, fighting is what I do."
Raiden sparx: "And I think we kicked its ass pretty well."
DancerVeiled: Ayame nods, "We did, I think. Tomasu and I would know."
Raiden sparx: "And hey, I got a new souvenir!" Tomasu pulled out the golden mask he found when he entered the manse, placing it on his face.
Lithaladhwen: "I apologize for not being able to be there with you. Ode and I were apparently destined to spend our time bullying swamp spirits."
MischiefMink: Ode stopped as Tomasu brought out the mask. "...where did you find that?"
Raiden sparx: "Huh? It just appeared when I tried to get into the manse."
Mesden: "...you stole a mask from a Yozi Manse...?"
Raiden sparx: "Didn't steal. It just showed up."
DancerVeiled: "And you put it ON?" Ayame chimes in.
Raiden sparx: "Hey. It looks cool." He gave another pose, letting the mask glisten on his face.
MischiefMink: "It's not the yozi's mask," Ode said to Tayuumi. "It belonged to the King of the swamp spirits..."
DancerVeiled: "Ugh..." Ayame shakes her head, "Mask and capes... Next thing you know, he'll wear a tuxedo."
Raiden sparx: "Nah. Tuxedos don't give much protection. Give me a thick suit of lamellar anyday."
Mesden: "Ah..." Tayuumi was still less intelled about the real details.
DancerVeiled: "Well, I guess that's possible. The Yozi did destroy all the spirits." Ayame nods.
Lithaladhwen: "He certainly seemed like a good enough fellow from what I saw. At the very least he was willing to assist us rather than be obliterated by a yozi without a fight."
Lithaladhwen: Tassi shrugged. "I rather have to respect that."
MischiefMink: So, Ode thought as Tomasu posed with his new acquisition. That king didn't make it after all. She felt almost sad at the loss, though why she couldn't say. He certainly could have been dangerous.
MischiefMink: "I agree. Not everyone can face death with such conviction."
Mesden: "Oh..." Tayuumi is now embarrassed!
Raiden sparx: "Huh...." Tomasu took the mask off his face. "Then I probably shouldn't be the one to hold onto it."
Lithaladhwen: "He was an ally, if only for a short while," Tassi said quietly. "If he left it for us to find, someone ought to keep it."
DancerVeiled: "Or we should bury it with the swamp..." Ayame says, sadly.
DancerVeiled: "But I doubt gods rise as hungry ghosts..."
Raiden sparx: "What about the old man? You think he was a spirit?"
MischiefMink: "The old man? Almost certainly."
Raiden sparx: "He makes such good honey buns, though..."
MischiefMink: Ode chuckled. "He does at that."
Mesden: Tayuumi nodded at the honey bun comment, even though the amount she had consumed was practically nonexistant.
MischiefMink: "As for the mask... I think I agree with Tassi. If he left it for us to find, we should keep it."
Mesden: "Give me a shot to remember, and you can take all the pain away from me. A kiss and I will surrender -- The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead"
Mesden: Tayuumi sung quietly to herself, as the old song reminded her of this group.
Raiden sparx: "Hmm?"
DancerVeiled: "Anyway... Tomasu is a swamp king now." Ayame pats him on the back, "Congrats, Tom."
Raiden sparx: "........I am Swamp King."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu straightened the mask on his face, making a kingly pose. "I rule this swamp! All that inhabit it must now...be awesome in all ways."
MischiefMink: "...might not want to say that too loudly," Ode said. "At least while we're still in the swamp.
Lithaladhwen: Tassi chuckled. "I think we've tempted the Powers That Be enough for one day."
MischiefMink: "Yes, exactly."
DancerVeiled: "The powers that be are all dead." Ayame sighs.
DancerVeiled: "Except the Chogos."
MischiefMink: "I wouldn't say that so easily... some of 'em might still be around, you never know."
Mesden: "...Can we leave the swamp now, please?"
DancerVeiled: "Yes... Let's leave, before we all die of gange-green." Ayame groans.
MischiefMink: "I agree. Any more of this muck and I think plants might start growing on me," Ode sighed. "...and we need to get Hiyoko back home soon."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu turned to his men, his brown eyes hidden behind the mask. "Alright. All troops, head out." His men quickly got into formation behind him.
DancerVeiled: "Once we leave, everyone should be checked for infection and get their wounds cleaned before they go their seperate ways." Ayame notes, Medic-like.
Mesden: "Why would we go seperate ways?"
DancerVeiled: "... I meant Hiyoko, and... The troops, who aren't leaving..." Ayame notes.
DancerVeiled: "Okay, fine. Before we go somewhere."
MischiefMink: "Well, I'm sure we can all use a few days of rest," Ode said. "Before we... do whatever it is we decide to do."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu looked over at Ayame and Tayuumi. "You girls need rides, or will you be fine walking?"
Mesden: "I can walk..."
Raiden sparx: He then turned to Ode and Tassi. "What about you two?"
DancerVeiled: "I can walk too."
MischiefMink: "Walking will be fine, thanks."
Lithaladhwen: "Oh, I'm all right. But thank you."
Mesden: Meeli scrambles up to Tomasu, begging to be picked up in the cutest way possible.
Raiden sparx: "....." Tomasu bent down, picking up the tiny dog.
DancerVeiled: "Oh no... The dog is back..." Ayame steps away from Tomasu, as if the little dog were a bomb.
Mesden: There was the faintest bit of a smile on chiseled between Tayuumi's cheeks.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu eyes down the dog. "I had a mental argument with a Yozi. I think I can handle a dog. What do you say, pooch?"
DancerVeiled: Ayame cringes.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP" The advance was expected as it went for his delicate, pretty nose.
Mesden: Tayuumi giggles.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu pulled the dog back, keeping it from biting length. "You've done that before, dog! You'll have to come up with something new."
blender_bunny@mac.com: The dog gave in to Tomasu's demand and the young solar lord was christened with a yellow stream of warmth.
Mesden: Tayuumi laughs! A lot!
Raiden sparx: "Dammit!" He turned the dog around, making it piss the other way.
DancerVeiled: Ayame dodges. "Hey, watch where you point that!"
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Ouch!""Double ouch!""...I hope that doesn't stain to much." The destiny chogos weren't above potty humor, but they were certainly so far below that they didn't 'get' it.
Raiden sparx: "Why does this dog hate me so?"
Mesden: "He doesn't hate you!"
DancerVeiled: "Just let Tayuumi keep the dog. We don't need to interact with it Tomasu..." Ayame whispers.
DancerVeiled: "Just ignore the dog..."
Raiden sparx: "It keeps coming after me!"
DancerVeiled: "Then..." She shrugs, "I don't know. It'll eat your face."
Raiden sparx: "Besides...it reminds me of Goober..." He then whispered back. "Only not as satanic."
DancerVeiled: "... Satan? What's a Satan?"
MischiefMink: Ode watches Tomasu's struggles against the dog with mild amusement; too tired to really comment.
Raiden sparx: "You know...Satan. That guy that worked at that restaurant in Nexus? We ate there once."
Raiden sparx: "That guy was an ass."
DancerVeiled: "... Oh, Satan... That guy."
blender_bunny@mac.com: Satan had died in an unrelated flamepiecing three weeks ago, it was a tragic event that left his three sons, five daughters, and two wives alone in the world.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu put the dog back down on the ground. "Go on...back to Tayuumi..."
blender_bunny@mac.com: The group made much better time returning to the town then they did travelling into the heart of the swamp, perhaps it was the lack of biting insects, perhaps the ground seemed a little less sticky, and the air a little less smelly.
DancerVeiled: "LAND!" Ayame cries out, "Oh, I haven't seen it in days..."
DancerVeiled: "We're saved..."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu marched proudly with his new mask...his cape repositioned to cover the wet yellow spot. He could call it a new fashion trend.
Mesden: "I need a long shower..."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Yip."
Mesden: "You too."
DancerVeiled: "... Did the dog just respond?" Ayame shivers.
Mesden: Tayuumi patpats.
blender_bunny@mac.com: The dog stared at Ayame, if she was superstitious she may think it was even planning anything, thankfully she wasn't!
DancerVeiled: "... Dogs don't do that..." Ayame whispers to herself, and looks away.
DancerVeiled: "They don't do that..." She reassures herself.
Mesden: "Do what, Ayame?"
DancerVeiled: "... That." She points at the dog. "What it's doing right now."
Mesden: "...Looking over at you after you started yelling...?"
DancerVeiled: "... I wasn't yelling!"
Mesden: "You cried out 'land' a bit loudly..."
Mesden: Tayuumi kind of half meeps.
MischiefMink: "In any case, let's just get into town," Ode says.
Mesden: MEELI STARE OF HATRED
blender_bunny@mac.com: RAAAAAAAAGE
DancerVeiled: "Land isn't related to dogs..." Ayame meeps.
DancerVeiled: The dog looked at her...
blender_bunny@mac.com: RAAAAAAAAAAGE
Mesden: "Loud noises are..?" Tayuumi was really quiet -- she felt Ayame though her rude.
Mesden: *thought
blender_bunny@mac.com: Back on the subject of the land, it looked relatively intact, apparently the yozi had spread itself much further out than originally expected.
Raiden sparx: "Everything looks in order here."
DancerVeiled: "Except for the exploded Yozi Parts." Ayame points out.
DancerVeiled: "At least it didn't destroy the city."
Raiden sparx: "As long as the bar and brothel are still functioning, all is good for me."
blender_bunny@mac.com: The brothel was closed.
MischiefMink: "Maybe more importantly, there shouldn't be any more disappearances from now on..."
Raiden sparx: "That's for the best."
MischiefMink: "Indeed, considering stopping the spirits from taking people's bodies was... more or less what we set out to do."
Raiden sparx: "That's why I was out there. Had to stop it somehow. Just hoped it wouldn't involve so much collateral damage."
blender_bunny@mac.com: Like the brothel being closed.
DancerVeiled: Ayame nods, "Well, It's lucky we all... Did that, then."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu let out a sigh. "But why did the brothel have to be closed?"
DancerVeiled: "At least the bar is open." Ayame consoles him.
MischiefMink: Ode sighs. "Anyway... Tassi? Let's get Hiyoko back to her home... and then I'm for a bath."
Mesden: Tayuumi looks for the nearest, cleanly bathing area possible!
DancerVeiled: "There's got to be hot springs around here..." Ayame scrutinizes the town.
Raiden sparx: "....hot springs are just as good. Men! There is still hope!"
Raiden sparx: "HUZZAH!"
Mesden: "...."
Lithaladhwen: Tassi nodded. "Without a doubt. And heavens willing we'll be able to get a relaxing evening. Just one."
MischiefMink: Ode chuckled. "One would be nice."
DancerVeiled: "... Hopefully there are two hotsprings..." Ayame facepalms.
Mesden: Tayuumi asks the residents if there are any cleanly bathing areas!
blender_bunny@mac.com: There is a single hotspring, but creative thaumaturgy had long ago made that not a problem. A dangle with out an angle, if one was to be so crude.
DancerVeiled: "Woo!" Ayame smiles, "I was right!"
Raiden sparx: "So...no woman flesh, huh?" Tomasu looked like someone had just put a birthday cake in front of him, then smashed it onto the floor.
DancerVeiled: "Just get in." Ayame shoves him toward the water.
Raiden sparx: *sigh* "Fine." He headed for the hotsprings a beaten and lonely man.
Mesden: Tayuumi had a hint of Sympathy for Tomasu. Too bad it was NOWHERE near enough.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Yip yip."
MischiefMink: "I'll join you in a little while," Ode says. "Once I get Hiyoko home." Taking the little girl from Tassi, she heads off towards the more residential part of town.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Where are we going?"
blender_bunny@mac.com: Hiyoko is quite curious where Ode is now leading her.
MischiefMink: "I've gotta take you back to your mom and dad, right?"
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Yeah, I don't live here! This is where all the poor people live."
MischiefMink: "Ah, sorry... you should've said, you know. I don't really know where you live... just go ahead and point the way then, okay?"
blender_bunny@mac.com: Hiyoko bravely leads Ode to the much more...affluent neighborhoods full of exotic gardens and beautiful items hanging from windows. "Now lets see, which one of these did I live in...um."
MischiefMink: "...tell me we're not going to have to start knocking on doors," Ode mutters quietly.
DancerVeiled: Ayame and Co are having fun in the hotsprings while Ode plays around in the city.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu and his men had already gone into the hotsprings, their clothes and armor kept in the place the...hotsprings kept them.
MischiefMink: That would be a perfect scene. An extremely muddy sorcerer showing up on someone's doorstep with their daughter... Right.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Nope! It's that one!" She pointed to the one on the end of the row of houses, a massive villa something that could easily house four generations of 10 families.
Raiden sparx has left the room.
MischiefMink: "Wow. Um. Woah," was all Ode could manage for a minute. "...you sure this is the right one?"
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Yep." She ran towards it. "Come on!"
MischiefMink: "Ookay..."
Raiden sparx has entered the room.
Raiden sparx has left the room.
