You have just entered room "hotbuns."
blender_bunny@mac.com: This is the entire cast for
tonight >_>
blender_bunny@mac.com: Feels very small
Raiden sparx: Where's Tomasu's Tayuumi?
DancerVeiled: Hm.
blender_bunny@mac.com: Mesden isn't online
Raiden sparx: He can't mindwhammy people
without Tayuumi!
MischiefMink: hehe
Raiden sparx: T___T
blender_bunny@mac.com: We technically don't need
an OOC room unless one of you guys want one >_>
Lithaladhwen: Let's not.
Lithaladhwen: It means I have too many things
open and we get all distracted.
blender_bunny@mac.com: Yay simplicity
DancerVeiled: Yeah.
Lithaladhwen: *casts RP-aga on chat*
MischiefMink: I do kind of like the OOC room
just because it makes logs easier to read.
>_>
MischiefMink: but I can live without.
Raiden sparx: (*hammers up the fourth wall*)
Raiden sparx: (It's made from the flesh of the
innocent! <3 )
MischiefMink: (XD)
DancerVeiled: ((Poor Fortunato...))
DancerVeiled: ((Walled away.))
Raiden sparx: (He knew what he was getting into.)
Raiden sparx: (No wine is worth that!)
DancerVeiled: ((A cask of amontillado, indeed.))
blender_bunny@mac.com: When last we left our cast
they had been book shopping, trading, or browsing.
There was an ill-spoken parrot and Tomasu's sanity
was questioned.
DancerVeiled: ((John Cleese should return the parrot. ._.))
blender_bunny@mac.com: Then there was a brilliant
plan and an ill spoken book that will not haunt
Tomasu for the rest of the campaign but lets not go
there now.
blender_bunny@mac.com: ((And that's where we left
off, Tomasu should probably tell the rest of the
group of his wise decision =p))
DancerVeiled: ((Did the rest of us get our various books of
doom? XD))
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Everyone gets their books
of doom and or anatomy manual depending on who
was who =p)
DancerVeiled: ((Yay, Anatomy manual. Of doom?))
Raiden sparx: "That book hates me. BUT. We're
going to find some sorcery books in the
Threshold."
DancerVeiled: "You mean you found a book, but you didn't
buy it?" Ayame pokes Tomasu.
Raiden sparx: "It insulted me..."
Lithaladhwen: "You know it could be worse. I've
seen some with teeth," Tassi chimes in.
blender_bunny@mac.com: This book did not have
teeth.
blender_bunny@mac.com: It's corners were slightly
pointed
DancerVeiled: "... Book insulted you?" Ayame looks at
Tomasu as if he has a severe mental condition.
DancerVeiled: ((Any medical rolls to see if Tomasu does,
indeed, have a severe mental condition? XD))
blender_bunny@mac.com: ((Int+Medicine+Several
demeaning and embarassing questions to
Tomasu)
DancerVeiled: "... Did this book change colors as you read
it?"
DancerVeiled: "Did the book adress you by name?"
MischiefMink: "Insulted you? I think it was
just being snide," Ode commented.
Raiden sparx: "Yes, it addressed me by name. No,
it did not change colors."
DancerVeiled: "Do you have recurring thoughts that there
might be other books that will insult you?"
Raiden sparx: "Anyway...we're going to get a
REAL book."
Raiden sparx: Tomasu gives a glare.
Lithaladhwen: "A real book that submits more
willingly to your authority, presumably."
DancerVeiled: "... Well..." She shrugs.
OnlineHost: DancerVeiled rolled 7 10-sided dice: 7 7 2 9
6 9 3
DancerVeiled: ((4 sux. XD))
Raiden sparx: "A real book that says more than
'Go to another town'."
DancerVeiled: ((*Consults manual for book-related
paranoia*))
Lithaladhwen: Tassi covered a smile with one hand.
"So it's all right if it speaks as long as it's not
too cheeky about it."
MischiefMink: "I did tell you before that we
were unlikely to find anything here," Ode
said. "Though why you listened when a
cheeky book said it and not me, I don't
know."
blender_bunny@mac.com: Tomasu was either having
mother issues or the book insulted him.
Lithaladhwen: "Well, that's easy, Ode. Talking
books are normal and acceptable, but you are
clearly insane."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "I'm prettier." the book
writes for later.
DancerVeiled: "Well, it's obvious that Tomasu's mother is
trying to influence him to go to another town. He's
projecting it on the book."
DancerVeiled: Ayame nods sagely.
DancerVeiled: She holds up her manual, "According to this,
anyway."
MischiefMink: "..." Ode cannot quite figure
out what to say to all this, and so
remains silent.
Lithaladhwen: "I don't know and have no opinion,
I'm sure."
DancerVeiled: ((*Smokes pipe, german accent* "Iy
believe... Zat your book-paranoia iz related to your
mother's apparent disownification upon your exaltation,
ja?"))
DancerVeiled: ((Freud ftw.))
Raiden sparx: ((If we're talking Freud, Tomasu
wants to sex up Alyssa.))
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Tomasu wants to sex up
the book)(
Raiden sparx: ((That, and Tassi's womb has
travelled through her body and is lodged in
her nostrils))
Lithaladhwen: (You have to put something nice
smelling down between her legs to lure it
back.)
DancerVeiled: ((XD))
MischiefMink: (O_o)
Lithaladhwen: (It's true. Even the Romans knew.
Uteri respond to smells.)
Lithaladhwen: (They migrate towards good ones
and away from bad ones.
Lithaladhwen: )
blender_bunny@mac.com: (They like savory smells
especially)
Raiden sparx: (So, ladies. The douche is your
friend.)
Lithaladhwen: (Nah. Not if it's lysol.)
Lithaladhwen: (Lysol=douche.)
Raiden sparx: ((Don't keep it clean, and your
uteris starts moving))
blender_bunny@mac.com: ((*writes notes*))
Lithaladhwen: (Lysol.)
Lithaladhwen: (Learn about your floorcleaner
before using it, kids!)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (YES MA'AM)
Raiden sparx: "Anyway...there's either the
Threshold, or hunting down some Lunars."
DancerVeiled: "... These lunars, would they be more or less
friendly than the ones we have encountered thusfar?"
Ayame meeps.
DancerVeiled: ((IE: Will they suddenly, 30 feet tall, burst
out of a forest and attempt to kill me, growling incoherant
demands I can't understand?))
blender_bunny@mac.com: ((The divine voice asks
"Are you going to see Raksi or are you attempting
to find other Lunars?")
Raiden sparx: Tomasu pets the Ayame.
"Depends. Someone ask the book about nice
Lunars."
MischiefMink: "Either way they're probably
more friendly than dragonbloods," Ode
says, before opening the book.
DancerVeiled: ((We could hunt down other solars, too. IE:
Not Marius.))
MischiefMink: (hehe)
MischiefMink: (Indeed.)
DancerVeiled: "Wouldn't other solars know sorcery, too?"
MischiefMink: "That's a possibility, too."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Depending on the
customs of the culture, lacerations are always
friendly up north I hear."
MischiefMink: (What's up north?)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Santa :D!)
DancerVeiled: "... I don't think it means the Lasceration
clan, does it?"
Raiden sparx: (Lets find Santa, the Sidereal of
Journeys!)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (You mean Holok?)
Raiden sparx: "Ummm...maybe about
sorcery-using Lunars that are nice by the
standards of they won't attack us..."
blender_bunny@mac.com: (You know who knows a lot
about sorcery? The yozis =p)
MischiefMink: "Although in hindsight, we
really should've just taken his advice and
left the swamp then."
MischiefMink: (XD)
DancerVeiled: (XDDD))
DancerVeiled: "No, I'm pretty sure it means Lascerations
as in BLEEDING TO DEATH!" Ayame states,
sarcastically, yet forcefully.
Raiden sparx: "Hindsight is twenty-twenty."
MischiefMink: (It also occurs to me that Ode
might have some contacts-- some sorceror
she's heard of that might have a book.)
DancerVeiled: (("Hello, Gandalf? Do you have your Intro
to Sorcery, Volume 1?))
DancerVeiled: (("... Could we borrow it?"))
MischiefMink: (XD)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (("Not until you use Lysol!"))
Lithaladhwen: (Many that are educated that
deserve ignorance, and many that are ignorant
deserve education. Can you give it to them?
Hm? Then do not be so quick to deal out tomes
of sorcery.)
MischiefMink: (XD)
DancerVeiled: ((Lith is win.))
DancerVeiled: "You might want to get your hindsight
checked, Tomasu." Ayame says, "We did stop the Yozi,
after all."
MischiefMink: (Sorcery is serious business!)
DancerVeiled: ((Sorcery: Sirius Business.))
MischiefMink: "True, but the Lunar was right;
it would have been better if we'd left
without meddling."
DancerVeiled: "So the Yozi could wake up later?"
DancerVeiled: "While no-one capable of stopping it was
nearby?"
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Exactly!"
Raiden sparx: Tomasu shrugged again. "We did
what we did. No point nit-picking about it."
Lithaladhwen: Tassi folded her arms and rested her
chin on her knuckles. This was yet another
conversation for which she had little context or
background knowledge of any kid.
Lithaladhwen: *kind
DancerVeiled: "I was pointing out why it was right..." She
shrugs, "Oh well."
Raiden sparx: "So, I guess the book is
worthless...again?"
blender_bunny@mac.com: "My pages are worth more
than you are, skin boy!"
DancerVeiled: "Book." Ayame adresses the book, "How
does one learn sorcery?"
MischiefMink: "Well, it didn't seem to make
sense... but that doesn't necessarily mean
it's worthless."
DancerVeiled: ((When all else fails, get a second opinion,
Tomasu. XD))
Raiden sparx: "If you can get a good answer out
of it about a safe place to learn Sorcery
without us getting killed, without any snide
remarks, I'll take back all I said and admit the
book is much greater than even the Book of
Three Circles."
Raiden sparx: "Somehow, I doubt it can."
DancerVeiled: ((A safe place to learn sorcery? WITHOUT
getting us killed?))
DancerVeiled: ((Have you even READ what sorcery is?
XD))
blender_bunny@mac.com: "One learns sorcery from a
sorcerer. Much like one learns baking from a
baker. So perhaps learn sorcery from a baker.
You sn-...you marvelous little darling <3"
DancerVeiled: "... Well, the book clearly has some basic
wisdom."
Raiden sparx: "A baker...a...." Recognition spread
across Tomasu's face.
Raiden sparx: "The baker."
DancerVeiled: "You have to find a sorceror, Tomasu."
DancerVeiled: "I mean, can you really learn esoteric
wisdom from a book?"
Raiden sparx: "Anyone else remember the bun
baker?"
DancerVeiled: ((Book of [sarcastic] common sense.
Artifact N/A.))
MischiefMink: Ode looks at the book. "...how
is it, that you repeat everything I say, and
he only listens to you?"
DancerVeiled: "... Well, Ode... I'm sure there's a very long
winded, logical reason." Ayame sighs.
DancerVeiled: "But I don't know what it is."
Raiden sparx: "Because....*sigh* that book is
greater than the Book of Three Circles. Now
Ode, you remember the Hot Bun baker, right?"
MischiefMink: "Certainly. But I doubt he will
be able to help you."
Raiden sparx: "He was at the manse that day.
After the Yozi exploded."
Raiden sparx: "He...I doubt he's a normal baker."
MischiefMink: "Yes. But from what I saw he's
just a spirit, albeit a powerful one, but
not a sorceror."
DancerVeiled: "... Where did you ever get the idea that a
baker can teach you sorcery?" Ayame looks boggled. "... I
mean, it's... A sarcastic book."
Raiden sparx: "And the book DID say to seek out
a baker."
MischiefMink: "...no, it told you to seek out a
sorceror."
MischiefMink: "Which I also mentioned, if you
recall."
Raiden sparx: "It said 'learn sorcery from a
baker'."
Lithaladhwen: "I told you, Ode. You're mad. No one
listens to a madwoman. They listen to talking
books."
DancerVeiled: "It said learn baking from a baker."
Raiden sparx: "Now, what baker has been acting
strangely and showing up in weird places?"
DancerVeiled: "And then extrapolated that you could learn
sorcery from a baker, somehow."
DancerVeiled: "... No Tassi, I'm quite sure it's Tomasu
who's mad."
Lithaladhwen: "It's true. I do doubt the wisdom of
this plan. And what the hell's all this about a
baker?"
MischiefMink: "I have to agree," Ode
muttered, one hand rubbing her temples.
Raiden sparx: "A baker that makes incredibly
tasty hot buns was showing up strangely. He
was at the manse after the Yozi exploded."
DancerVeiled: "Tomasu, you must seek out a golden ring,
and throw it into the center of Gem!"
MischiefMink: Turning to Tassi, she said, "The
bun seller, or baker, is a spirit."
DancerVeiled: "Only then can you learn sorcery." Ayame
nods.
DancerVeiled: Obviously, child's stories worked perfectly.
Books had them!
Lithaladhwen: Tassi nodded. "All right. That
explains some of this."
MischiefMink: "The buns he makes seem to
have a power to them-- the other spirits
go mad for them. ...And I have to say,
they are rather delicious."
DancerVeiled: ((Equally ridiculous, and it might actually
work.))
Raiden sparx: Tomasu gave out a sigh. "Her'es
an idea. Any and all criticism are to be
withheld unless you have some other plan
more specific than 'lets find a sorceror'."
DancerVeiled: "It could work." Ayame says, honestly.
Raiden sparx: "Right now, the book said to learn
sorcery from a baker. And that baker has
stood out more than anything else. Yes, it's
crazy. Then again, damn near everything in
Creation is."
MischiefMink: "Fine, fine," Ode said, sighing.
"We'll talk to the bun baker. I suppose
you'll want me to try and call him up?"
Raiden sparx: "If you could, Ode, I would greatly
appreciate it."
MischiefMink: (Where are they, anyway? Are
we just standing in the street discussing
this?)
blender_bunny@mac.com: "...wtf."
blender_bunny@mac.com: (In the street XD)
MischiefMink: (XD)
Raiden sparx: (Still in the bookstore, I thought...)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (No you guys left the
bookstore)
Lithaladhwen: "This is... an interesting plan. But if
it doesn't work, I'll try and see if I can get in
touch with someone. It's a long shot, but... if
this is the objective, I'll assist if I can."
MischiefMink: (We left the bookstore at the
end of last session)
DancerVeiled: (Call him up? Do they have pay-phones
here?)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Yes they run on human
blood)
MischiefMink: "Oh, it almost certainly won't
work," Ode said quietly, "But he won't
listen to any sense, so it seems I'm going
to have to do this."
DancerVeiled: "I didn't actually see the Baker..." Ayame
sighs.
Lithaladhwen: (You have to go find an STD, but
they never let you use a phone card. You have
to pay cash.)
MischiefMink: (hehe, no phones, Ode's gonna
use the Essence lines! :D)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Ring ring ring banana
phone!)
DancerVeiled: (("Hello, can you hear me now?!"))
Lithaladhwen: Tassi nodded. "If nothing else," she
replied quietly, "I can try and contact some old
patients and colleagues and see if anyone
knows anything."
Raiden sparx: (Well, Tomasu would listen to other
people's plans if...you know, the others HAD
any.)
DancerVeiled: ((ARGh, damn psychic voices in my head!))
Raiden sparx: (All they're really doing is giving
vague ideas and having Tomasu think it up.)
DancerVeiled: ((Because all of us know *precisely* where
a sorceror is.))
MischiefMink: (...you know, you're still failing
to ask Ode for potentially useful
information.)
DancerVeiled: ((*Points at Ode*))
MischiefMink: (haha, that too!)
Raiden sparx: (Ode said she'd help if Tomasu
found a book.)
Lithaladhwen: (Actually, I don't think any of them
really care enough about Tomasu's ability to be
a sorceror to get into the planning too hard
except for the one person he isn't really
consulting.)
blender_bunny@mac.com: "So was he dropped on his
head or is that his special talent?"
DancerVeiled: ((Hand her the book, and say you found it.))
Raiden sparx: (Which meant Tomasu needs to
find a book before Ode can teach him
anything.)
DancerVeiled: ((You have "A" book.))
MischiefMink: (Ode could probably think of
some contacts who are sorcerors or know
them, if you asked. But you aren't.)
Lithaladhwen: Tassi tilted her head at Ode. "Is
there even the slightest chance that such a
thing would be helpful?"
Lithaladhwen: (Ode is a fucking djinn. She doesn't
give you what you want. She gives you no
more and no less than what you ask for.)
MischiefMink: "Well... the bun baker is a
rather odd spirit. He seemed to know
something about the strange things that
are going on lately... it's possible."
MischiefMink: She shrugged. "If nothing else
he may have some different, but still
useful information. It's hard to tell."
MischiefMink: (Yes. Yes she is.)
Lithaladhwen: "Oh, no. I meant harassing some old
acquaintances of mine. I work with a lot of odd
folks. Perhaps failing this I could try and
consult corporeal sources." She sighed.
DancerVeiled: ((This is why you always play 20 questions
with her.))
Lithaladhwen: "If this is to become a grand quest
for sorcery tomes, the least I can do is try."
DancerVeiled: ((If you have a question, ask it 20 different
ways.))
MischiefMink: (hehe)
DancerVeiled: "Well, they have academies for this sort of
thing back home." Ayame shrugs, "Too bad they won't
take solars."
DancerVeiled: "Unless you want to disguise yourself,
Tomasu."
Raiden sparx: "...you know I can't go to them,
Ayame. House Cathak would find me if I
stayed longer than a few weeks."
MischiefMink: Ode chuckled. "Fair enough.
Although I keep hoping he'll just give up
this idea..."
DancerVeiled: "Tomasu. How is House Cathak going to
get anywhere near Lookshy?"
MischiefMink: Clearing her throat, she
addressed the group at large. "Anyway, if
I'm going to try and call up this bun
baker, can we move to someplace that
isn't the middle of the street?"
DancerVeiled: "Even if they did, you'd have people kicking
their asses so fast..."
Lithaladhwen: "Absolutely. Lead on, oh captain my
captain."
Raiden sparx: "They find me, then give Lookshy
the heads up they have a Solar in their
academy."
DancerVeiled: "Then you get drafted for mandatory service.
Right, you still get the sorcery, though."
Raiden sparx: "No, then I become a weapon on a
leash. No thanks."
DancerVeiled: "Hello, Tomasu, how do you think I'm
here?"
DancerVeiled: "Whoever said you had to keep contracts
like that?"
Raiden sparx: Tomasu turned to Ode. "Where
should we go for this?"
DancerVeiled: She winks.
DancerVeiled: ((Solar wants sorcery, hmmmm? Solar
needs to make sakrifizzcee!))
MischiefMink: Ode shrugged. "Someplace
where there aren't a lot of people...and
where there's a fair amount of essence.
Someplace that we've seen him before
wouldn't hurt either.
MischiefMink: We may just want to head back
to the manse."
Raiden sparx: "The Swamp Manse...back...with
the chogos..."
DancerVeiled: "Didn't we just flee from the Chogos?"
Raiden sparx: "...can we use them as sacrifices?"
MischiefMink: "I don't think it would be very
wise."
MischiefMink: "We can always just go to the
edges of the swamp; that should work
well enough and keep us away from the
chogos as well."
Raiden sparx: "Sounds good enough for me."
DancerVeiled: "And we won't get swampy, at least."
Ayame adds.
MischiefMink: Ode chuckled. "Indeed. That is
always a bonus."
Raiden sparx: "Will we need to get anything in
town for the ritual?"
MischiefMink: "Ritual? No."
Raiden sparx: "Alright then. Lets get this done to
see if it leads to anything."
MischiefMink: "To the swamp, then," Ode
said, setting off.
Lithaladhwen: Tassi followed Ode, going along
with this plan until something more sane
became attractive.
DancerVeiled: Ayame followed Tassi, who followed Ode,
who was followed by Tomasu.
DancerVeiled: ((Console RPG train formation!))
MischiefMink: They walked along like ducks in
a row.
Raiden sparx: Background music was
playing...somewhere...
DancerVeiled: ((*Screen flash, Random encounter music*))
Lithaladhwen: (Tomasu followed Ayame followed
Tassi followed Ode.... In the swamp the yozi
built.)
DancerVeiled: ((Cactaur appears! XD))
blender_bunny@mac.com: ((SUDDENLY CACTAUR
MILLIONS OF 'EM!))
Raiden sparx: (*SLICE!*)
DancerVeiled: ((Exalted Version: Million needles!))
Raiden sparx: (...what? I pumped my sword with
anti-cactuar materia...)
Raiden sparx: (rare drop. 1 out of every 500
cactuars drop it)
DancerVeiled: ((Dude, you need a perfectly aligned
temple-matrix to produce materia.))
blender_bunny@mac.com: (WTF U TALKIN BOUT)
Raiden sparx: (NUTHING STFU!)
MischiefMink: SUDDENLY, AS IF THEY HAD
MYSTERIOUSLY TELEPORTED OR JUST
SKIPPED PAST SOME TIME, THEY WERE AT
THE EDGE OF THE SWAMP.
Raiden sparx: [THE CREEPY SWAMP OF
CREEPINESS]
DancerVeiled: ((*Fast travel*))
DancerVeiled: ((*Clicks Swamp*))
Raiden sparx: ((Can't fast travel with enemies
around.))
DancerVeiled: ((Argh.))
DancerVeiled: ((*Kills the mudcrab*))
DancerVeiled: ((*Tries again*))
Raiden sparx: ((You forgot the bear that's been
chasing you for the last half hour))
DancerVeiled: ((But he's three maps away!))
Raiden sparx: ((He's still chasing you))
Raiden sparx: ((The bad music is still playing))
MischiefMink: (XD)
Raiden sparx: Tomasu looked around at their
surroundings. "This good enough?"
MischiefMink: "This should be fine."
blender_bunny@mac.com: It was a lovely day for
swamp smell.
Raiden sparx: "So, should we get in a circle, or..."
MischiefMink: "Heh. You don't need to do
anything, really. Just be quiet for a
moment while I concentrate."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "First rule of sorcery, never
get in the circle, box, or pouch."
Lithaladhwen: "Now if you can just get it to tell you
all the other rules," Tassi remarked.
MischiefMink: (Basically using
All-Encompassing Sorcerer's Sight, here,
trying to find the baker's essence trail)
DancerVeiled: "Is there a second rule?" Ayame asks,
curiously.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Second rule of sorcery.
YOU DO NOT GET IN THE FUCKING CIRCLE."
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Third rule of sorcery. If it
your first time sorcerrizing you have to get in the
circle."
Lithaladhwen: Tassi chuckled. She liked this book
far more than she really should.
DancerVeiled: "Neat book..." Ayame smiles.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "I really am."
DancerVeiled: She nods, "Any other wisdom?"
MischiefMink: Ignoring the others' questioning
of the book, Ode took a step or two away
from them and then brought her hands
together, fingertips touching. Closing her
eyes, she took a deep breath, and then
cast out her senses, concentrating.
Lithaladhwen: (BRB making a font.)
MischiefMink: She did not look too deeply,
instead skimming over the essence trails
of the surrounding area, looking for the
one that she had glimpsed several times
before.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "V'neef is exactly 89 years
of age, three seasons, and eight days. Mnemon
has a mole on her left buttock that makes it look
like a black rock on a plain of white sand."
Lithaladhwen: What bizarre wisdom. Gods help us
all if that ever becomes useful, Tassi thought
with no small degree of apprehension.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "Third piece of wisdom,
yes I can see you reading me, yes I can see you
when you are getting naked. No I don't want to
watch."
DancerVeiled: "..." Ayame stares.
DancerVeiled: This book... Was very... Yeah.
DancerVeiled: ((Oh noes, It's Nara-O joking around as a
book.))
MischiefMink: (the real question is, who's
carrying this book? XD)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (IT FLYS :D!)
MischiefMink: (XD)
DancerVeiled: ((Orbital book.))

blender_bunny@mac.com: Ode sees a glimpse of a
familiar essence trail, strangely enough it spirals
around her and then splits off in five different
directions.
blender_bunny@mac.com: Not in the cardinal
directions.
blender_bunny@mac.com: Just five paths.
MischiefMink: Hm... Ode thinks. Not quite
what I expected. She looked at the five
paths, trying to see any difference
between them, which one might lead her
to the place--the person--that she sought.
DancerVeiled: Ayame watches, but gleans little knowlege
as to how sorcery works just by looking at Ode do it.
MischiefMink: (This is because Ode is
essentially just standing there, almost
looking like she's praying with the way her
hands are.)
MischiefMink: (also, roll to see the
difference-if any- in the paths?)
blender_bunny@mac.com: They all seem to be the
genuine thing, the baker had long since split
apparently, or was very secretive in his comings
and goings.

everything else is quite entertaining.)

MischiefMink: (XD Ok apparently not.)
MischiefMink: Ode kept concentrating on the
lines a little longer, but could learn
nothing else. Hm. He may well have
left...but... She was reluctant to give up
so easily.
MischiefMink: (So... let me get this straight,
the paths are where Ode has been? I'm a
little confused)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (They are just 5 paths)
MischiefMink: (>_>)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Leading elsewhere)
MischiefMink: (Hm.)
DancerVeiled: ((You must... Choose!))
MischiefMink: Something was niggling at the
back of her mind as well, something from
the dream she'd had. The baker had given
her a bun, and said... he said... What had
he said...?
blender_bunny@mac.com: ((I hope you aren't asking
>_>)
MischiefMink: (hehe, no)
MischiefMink: She couldn't recall exactly, but
the sense of it was there. So, then.
Perhaps all paths are the same, in the
end, she thought. In which case... With a
small smile, she stepped forward, onto
the path in front of her.
blender_bunny@mac.com: The other paths melt away
into the swirling currents of essence.
Raiden sparx: Tomasu raised an eyebrow. "Find
something, Ode?"
DancerVeiled: ((All roads lead to Rome... I mean, Baker.))
blender_bunny@mac.com:
((ALLROADSLEADOTRAKSIIMEANNOTHEYDO
N'T))
DancerVeiled: Suddenly, Ayame felt very cold, as if millions
of voices had cried out in terror, and suddenly silenced.
MischiefMink: (Rule #4: Don't distract the
sorcerer!)
MischiefMink: (Distraction makes things go
splodey.)
DancerVeiled: She dismissed this as a normal occurance.
DancerVeiled: ((Things happen!))
blender_bunny@mac.com: (actually Beth was banned
from chat or something)
DancerVeiled: ((?))
MischiefMink has left the room.
MischiefMink has entered the room.
MischiefMink: (BLARGH. Stupid internet.)
MischiefMink: (Okay, I last saw Dancer's star
wars comment. >_>)
DancerVeiled: ((XD))
MischiefMink: (so what'd I miss?)
blender_bunny@mac.com: DancerVeiled: She
dismissed this as a normal occurance.
blender_bunny@mac.com: (That's it)
Lithaladhwen: (Yup.)
DancerVeiled: (Yup.)
MischiefMink: (Oh. :O)
MischiefMink: (Okay then.)
MischiefMink: Ode walked along the path,
looking for any sign of the bun baker.
DancerVeiled: Ayame follows!
blender_bunny@mac.com: The path continued to
spread on and on. It was going be one hell of a
walk.
MischiefMink: (noooo!)
MischiefMink: (Not the endless swamp walk
again! D:-)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Oh trust me it's much
longer than the endless swamp =p)
DancerVeiled: ((Oh noes!))
MischiefMink: (aaaaaaaaaaaaaugh....)
DancerVeiled: ((I attack the path, maybe if we beat it into
submission, it'll surrender...))
Lithaladhwen: (So is this a physical path she's
walking on, or is this spirit journey stuff?)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (She is walking forward)
MischiefMink: (yeah, is Ode disappeared for
the rest of them or no)
MischiefMink: (ah)
Lithaladhwen: Tassi, unwilling to let the most
interesting thing to happen in days happen
away from her, does her duty as a busybody
and also follows.
MischiefMink: Such a long path, Ode thinks. I
don't much like this. But I will at least
look. Although knowing the baker, I'll
probably go through all this effort only to
have him show up in my dreams tonight...
Raiden sparx: Tomasu is...well, does it need
saying that he's following? He's the one
begging to learn sorcery.
MischiefMink: (...?)
DancerVeiled: (...!)
DancerVeiled: ((1:00 AM. Zzz.))
MischiefMink: (seems rather slow here. >_>)
MischiefMink: (Indeed.)
MischiefMink: (Niichan, post?)
Lithaladhwen: (Aye.)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Oh hey text popped up
finally!)
blender_bunny@mac.com: Paths lay ahead of the
group, of the frightening and somewhat dubious
nature. But would it be worth it in the end? Would all
this be worth that little bit of power? They shall soon
find out. Next time on hot buns.
blender_bunny@mac.com: "I'm not flammable by the
way... You shouldn't burn me for a campfire."
blender_bunny@mac.com: (9xp sorry about that x_x)
Lithaladhwen: (It's okay!)
Lithaladhwen: (How much did people get last
time?)
MischiefMink has left the room.
DancerVeiled: ((Yay. :D))
DancerVeiled: ((Seeyas.))
MischiefMink has entered the room.
MischiefMink: (Dun dun DUN!)
MischiefMink: Argh, AIM is really being stupid
tonight. >_>
Lithaladhwen: How much EXP did we get last
time? 8?
blender_bunny@mac.com: Yes it is >_<
Lithaladhwen: Hey. Tassi can raise her essence
now, for what it's worth.
blender_bunny@mac.com: Yes
Lithaladhwen: Huzzah.
Lithaladhwen: She needs more godpower.
DancerVeiled has left the room.
blender_bunny@mac.com: GOD POWAH
blender_bunny@mac.com has left the room.
