(10:49:46 PM) You have just entered room
"sean27."
(10:49:52 PM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
(10:50:19 PM) Lithaladhwen has entered the room.
(10:50:56 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the
room.
Idran1701 (10:51:01 PM): All right, there we go.
Anything to take care of before we start?
Lithaladhwen (10:51:16 PM): (*pees in a
corner* Yeah, I'm good.)
Idran1701 (10:55:55 PM): Shaun, Shini, you two
still here? I know there's some multitasking
stuff going on, just wanting to be sure you're
here, at least. :O
CGNakibe (10:56:20 PM): I'm somewhere around
here.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:57:28 PM): *I might be
down there.*
Idran1701 (10:57:40 PM): Good enough for me!
Idran1701 (10:58:06 PM): <RP START>
CGNakibe (10:58:36 PM): (Welcome back to the
Island of Misfit Toys...)
Idran1701 (10:59:08 PM): When last we left off,
the group had come across a surprising
sight; a village of humans, located on the
deepest layer of the Grey Waste. A friendly
and inviting village at that.
Idran1701 (10:59:21 PM): The party is
well-suspicious of this finding, but are their
suspicions grounded?
Idran1701 (11:00:34 PM): For now, they find
themselves led to a local pub by one of the
villagers, walking through the soft dirt
streets.
Idran1701 (11:00:54 PM): Things seem fairly
empty here; there's the occasional sign of
others, a light in the window here, some
sounds of families there. But they seem to
be the only ones out of doors at the
moment.
Idran1701 (11:10:35 PM): (:O?)
CGNakibe (11:10:56 PM): *w* I KNOW there's
something wrong here... just...
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:11:20 PM): *w* Why
does there have to be something wrong?
CGNakibe (11:11:43 PM): *w* Why WOULDN'T
there be?
Idran1701 (11:12:24 PM): *w* It does seem a little
off, here...but maybe it's just the plane.
CGNakibe (11:12:36 PM): *Frowns*
Idran1701 (11:14:51 PM): Ah, here we are! *he
stops in front of a building with a simple,
hanging sign labeled "Adrien's"*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:15:01 PM): 'Adrien's'?
Idran1701 (11:15:11 PM): Yep, that's his name.
Idran1701 (11:15:45 PM): Now, come on, let's get
a hot meal in you, see if we can't help you fight
off this chill some.
CGNakibe (11:25:22 PM): IM: I can't say why..
but this whole place is... wrong somehow.
Idran1701 (11:26:38 PM): *stepping in, he heads to
the counter, knocking on it and looking back
towards the back room* Hey, we've got some
visitors here!
Idran1701 (11:27:48 PM): *and another fellow
steps out!* Eh? Ah...well, this is a nice
surprise. Here for a room?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:28:14 PM): Looks like it,
yes.
CGNakibe (11:29:52 PM): What do you have?
Idran1701 (11:31:15 PM): Please, take a seat! I've
got a roast on, I'd be happy to cut you folks off
some. How's that sound?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:31:25 PM): Sounds good,
actually.
Idran1701 (11:31:26 PM): Got some spiced tea on
the stove too.
CGNakibe (11:32:51 PM): IM: Maybe I'm just
overreacting...
Idran1701 (11:33:09 PM): Think I'll have some of
that myself, Adrien.
CGNakibe (11:35:11 PM): IM: Yeah, that's
probably it.
Idran1701 (11:35:35 PM): *nods* Sure. I'll go
ahead and get that together for you.
Idran1701 (11:35:54 PM): Jeremiah takes a seat,
glancing to the three others. Karinska
looks to Arian before taking her own chair.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:36:22 PM): *SIts!@*
Idran1701 (11:37:18 PM): And Adrien heads in
the back once more!
Idran1701 (11:37:45 PM): *still giving the
occasional concerned glance towards Lil* So,
what brings you folks around here anyway?
CGNakibe (11:38:49 PM): *sits, cautiously*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:42:07 PM): Just passing
through.
Idran1701 (11:42:32 PM): Been here a while, I take
it?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:43:04 PM): Hard to tell.
Idran1701 (11:47:32 PM): Ah. Yeah, things can be
like that here. *smiles towards her* Just try to
keep your spirits up. Spend some time here,
I'm sure you'll get some color back.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:47:55 PM): *Laughs*
Idran1701 (11:50:19 PM): There, see? Getting
some cheer like that, shouldn't take long at all.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:50:48 PM): Yeah, yeah,
I'm sure it won't!
CGNakibe (11:50:48 PM): Hm.
Idran1701 (11:51:46 PM): I know what that can be
like. The three of you, on your own out
there...the loneliness can be almost opressive.
CGNakibe (11:55:46 PM): Very distressing, to say
the least.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:55:56 PM): Yeah, that's
one way of putting it.
Idran1701 (11:56:44 PM): One reason I was glad
to find this village. You don't have to worry
about loneliness with so many fellows around
with you.
Idran1701 (11:56:57 PM): It helps to keep things
safe from the natives too.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:57:16 PM): Natives?
Idran1701 (11:59:58 PM): Hordlings, mostly.
Swarms of fiends that do nothing more than
destroy and devour. Take it you've been lucky
enough to keep away from them so far?
CGNakibe (12:00:21 AM): Oh. OH those.
CGNakibe (12:02:53 AM): We did have a run-in
with them, yes.
CGNakibe (12:02:57 AM): Nasty things.
Idran1701 (12:03:09 AM): Ah. Well, lucky you
survived, then.
Idran1701 (12:07:03 AM): ...You're safe from them
here, though? Yep. They shy away from the
town. Even the yugoloths haven't much tried to
interfere here.
CGNakibe (12:07:16 AM): Good to know.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:07:53 AM): Weird.
Idran1701 (12:10:40 AM): *and here comes the
food; the first of it, at least, as Adrien brings
out a pair of plates, setting them in front of
ARian and Lil* The rest'll be right out, you
two. And so'll be that tea.
Idran1701 (12:10:47 AM): (*color)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:11:02 AM): Thanks.
Idran1701 (12:11:06 AM): Want anything special in
that?
CGNakibe (12:11:33 AM): Um... No... No thanks.
CGNakibe (12:11:41 AM): (SOYLENT GREEN
IS PEOPLE. >.<)
Idran1701 (12:12:16 AM): (Luckily, this is roast
and tea! :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:12:57 AM): Milk, and a
little sugar, please.
Idran1701 (12:13:16 AM): *nods* ...Just a little
milk for me.
CGNakibe (12:13:23 AM): *warily bites into the
food.... when was the last time they HAD
DECENT food anyway?*
Idran1701 (12:13:54 AM): And you know how I
prefer mine. Heh, right. *and he heads off!*
Idran1701 (12:14:19 AM): *And the roast
is...actually quite delicious. It's some of the
better meat he's had, in fact, and prepared
quite skillfully.*
Idran1701 (12:14:33 AM): *And it does taste like
beef, hopefully alleviating some of Arian's
fears.*
CGNakibe (12:15:07 AM): IM: Well, it certainly
doesn't TASTE like poison... granted I've
never tasted poison to know what it'd taste
LIKE... 9.9
Idran1701 (12:18:06 AM): *The rest of the roast is
brought out, and Karinska begins in on her
own.* ...This isn't bad, really.
CGNakibe (12:18:21 AM): Its... quite good.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:18:38 AM): *Eating, not
saying anything!*
Idran1701 (12:20:29 AM): So, you three planning
on continuing on tomorrow?
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:20:36 AM): Most likely,
yeah.
Idran1701 (12:21:51 AM): *nods* We wouldn't
mind having you all a bit longer. We're having
something of a get together tomorrow night,
maybe you could stay for that.
CGNakibe (12:23:48 AM): *looks at Lilium and
shrugs himself*
CGNakibe (12:24:05 AM): *although the look
afterwards suggests that he's all for moving
on!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:24:40 AM): We'll see.
Idran1701 (12:26:49 AM): Well, with any luck,
then, we'll see you there.
Idran1701 (12:27:12 AM): Where're you headed
after this, then?
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:35:25 AM): Er..
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:35:30 AM): ..We're
meeting up with a friend.
Idran1701 (12:37:12 AM): Ah. Well, maybe you
can bring them back here, once you meet up.
It'd have to be safer than meeting up out there,
after all.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:40:12 AM): Maybe.
Idran1701 (12:44:28 AM): *and here's the tea!*
Well, I hope it's to your taste. I've got some
work to do in back, or I'd join you myself.
CGNakibe (12:50:36 AM): Alright then. *sips tea,
remembering... pinky up!*
CGNakibe (12:50:41 AM): *Well, not really*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:50:50 AM): (Pinkies up,
asshole.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:50:58 AM): *Nods*
Thank you.
Idran1701 (12:51:16 AM): *he nods back to the
two, smiling as he heads towards the back
again*
Idran1701 (12:51:34 AM): *and Arian drinks,
finding the quality of the tea easily a match for
that of the roast*
Idran1701 (12:59:43 AM): *Jeremiah sits back,
enjoying his own tea* You know, we grow our
own tea leaves here. Part of the flavor. Never
tasted quite as good before I settled here.
CGNakibe (1:05:00 AM): Is there anything special
you have to do to get a decent blend?
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:05:30 AM): IM: Seems to
be doing a lot to encourage us to stay.
Idran1701 (1:06:33 AM): Nope, it's all in the
leaves. If you do leave tomorrow, we could go
ahead and give you a packet. You know how
to make tea, I hope?
CGNakibe (1:06:44 AM): Of course.
Idran1701 (1:07:02 AM): *chuckles* People here
have been making food so long, they rival
halfling cuisine in quality by now, is my opinion.
CGNakibe (1:08:44 AM): Good to know.
CGNakibe (1:08:51 AM): IM: Why does that ring
oddly in my mind?
Idran1701 (1:10:12 AM): We need a lot of it,
though. More folks here than you'd expect for
a village this small. No better way to fight off
the loneliness, though.
Idran1701 (1:21:05 AM): *he glances out the
window, finishing up the last of his roast as he
sips at his tea* Hmm. Sorry to say, but I
should probably be heading off soon. Got
some gate duty to take care of pretty soon.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:21:50 AM): ..How many
people leave here?
Idran1701 (1:21:53 AM): Still a little early to turn in,
I imagine, so maybe you folks might like
looking around town a bit. Adrien can point
you towards your rooms once you start to get
tired.
Idran1701 (1:21:54 AM): Hmm?
Idran1701 (1:22:04 AM): Ah...I'm not sure,
actually. Never counted. *chuckles*
Idran1701 (1:22:12 AM): A pretty good number,
though.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:22:23 AM): *Nods*
CGNakibe (1:23:09 AM): *nods as well*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:23:50 AM): Thanks, by the
way.
Idran1701 (1:24:30 AM): Oh, no, I'm happy to
help. And you keep your spirits up, Viper, all
right? Hope to see you looking a little rosier in
the morning.
CGNakibe (1:31:35 AM): *w to Karinska* ...
maybe I had this place wrong.
Idran1701 (1:32:06 AM): *w* ...The food's good,
at least.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:32:13 AM): *Not talking
until Jeremy leaves*
Idran1701 (1:33:20 AM): *smiling to the group, he
stands, setting his cup down* Hope to see the
rest of you in the morning too. Have a good
night.
Idran1701 (1:33:27 AM): *and he's out!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:34:33 AM): *w* He's
making a good attempt at getting us to stay.
Lithaladhwen (1:35:40 AM): (G'night all. I'll
backlog in the morning.)
Idran1701 (1:35:48 AM): (Night, Kai!)
Idran1701 (1:36:22 AM): *she nods, still
whispering herself* Maybe he just likes the
village, though?
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:37:46 AM): *w* Seems a
bit extreme.
Idran1701 (1:38:25 AM): *w* ...What do you
think, Arian?
CGNakibe (1:41:36 AM): *w* Still not sure if
everything's right here.
Idran1701 (1:44:25 AM): *w, looking between
Arian and Lil* Well...what do you think we
should do?
CGNakibe (1:44:46 AM): *w* I'm all for finding
someplace else to go.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:46:00 AM): |*w* For now,
we stay here.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:46:04 AM): *w* There
might not BE another place to go.
CGNakibe (1:46:39 AM): *w* You have a point
there.
Idran1701 (1:47:32 AM): *w* Yeah...and honestly,
I think we could use the rest.
Idran1701 (1:48:03 AM): *w* Even you, Lilium.
Evne if you don't actually sleep...
CGNakibe (1:48:04 AM): *w* Also true.
Idran1701 (1:48:05 AM): *Even
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:50:08 AM): *w* Yeah, I
know.
Idran1701 (1:53:38 AM): *w* What should we do
until tonight, though? I mean, I guess we could
turn in early...
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:55:00 AM): *w* I'll look
around.
CGNakibe (1:59:01 AM): *w* I'll stay here, if you
don't mind. For all we know whatever they
intend is already in place here. Or it could be
on its way.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:59:17 AM): *w* Yeah.
Idran1701 (1:59:32 AM): *nods*
Idran1701 (2:00:01 AM): *w* ...I'll stay with Arian,
if you don't mind, Lilium.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:00:40 AM): *w* I'd prefer
it.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:00:48 AM): *Stands,
polishing off her beefs*
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:00:57 AM): Arian, get the
tip, please.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:00:58 AM): *OUT*
CGNakibe (2:01:23 AM): I just hope these are just
idle thoughts.
Idran1701 (2:01:40 AM): ...*chuckles at Lil's
abruptness a bit, before looking to Arian*
Idran1701 (2:01:41 AM): So do I.
Idran1701 (2:02:08 AM): *meanwhile!*
Idran1701 (2:02:27 AM): (Is Lil on the watch for
anything specific, or is she just keeping an eye
out?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:03:18 AM): (Wandering)
Idran1701 (2:03:33 AM): (*nod*)
Idran1701 (2:12:55 AM): *Lilium heads out, and
down the streets. In the distance, she can spot
Jeremiah still heading out himself, just before he
turns down a side road.*
Idran1701 (2:13:00 AM): *Besides that, off the
other direction, she can spy a couple of
children wandering about.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:15:26 AM): *Glances down
the sideroad, but keeps on going.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:15:34 AM): *Also notes the
children.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:15:40 AM): *AND
DECIDES TO WAIT*
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:18:34 AM): *As the kids
approach, she'll make to speak with them.*
Idran1701 (2:19:54 AM): *Things seem fairly quiet
out here as Lil waits. The children soon come
up to Lil, looking at her with a mixture of fear
and awe; an expression Lil might be a little
used to by now.*
Idran1701 (2:20:38 AM): *There's two, one boy
and one girl, both looking about 8-10. Both
human, both of them looking a little scruffy.
The girl speaks up!* ...Hello.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:22:11 AM): Hey. I was
wondering if I could ask you a couple things?
Idran1701 (2:23:01 AM): ...Okay.
Idran1701 (2:26:56 AM): *the boy watches warily,
but he seems less fearful than the girl despite his
silence*
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:29:59 AM): What goes ona
round here?
Idran1701 (2:32:18 AM): ......*she looks to the
boy, before turning back to Lil* We have
festivals...and a lot of people farm...
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:32:39 AM): Festivals?
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:32:43 AM): What kind of
festivals?
Idran1701 (2:34:12 AM): ...They're usually fun...we
have dancing, and games.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:35:41 AM): Uh huh.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:35:43 AM): How often?
Idran1701 (2:37:44 AM): ...I dunno...usually at
harvest time and planting time. Sometimes a
little one when there's a new baby.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:39:13 AM): Ah..ha.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:39:20 AM): Do your
parents ever talk about leaving?
Idran1701 (2:40:07 AM): *the girl looks
wide-eyed, but the boy looks off a little sadly*
Oh, no! Why would they want to leave?
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:42:37 AM): Curious..
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:42:41 AM): ..Somethin'
wrong?
Idran1701 (2:43:37 AM): ...'m...
Idran1701 (2:44:49 AM): *the girl frowns at him,
and moves closer to Lil, whispering* His mom
an' dad...they were travelling, and the fiends
got them outside town.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:45:24 AM): Ah..
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:45:27 AM): ..I'm sorry.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:46:01 AM): I'll tell you
what. You keep an eye around town for me
while I'm here, tell me all the stuff that
happens..
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:46:14 AM): ..And I'll go
beat up some of those demons, make sure they
know what they did.,
CGNakibe (2:47:04 AM): (*yawns* Tired tired.)
Idran1701 (2:47:11 AM): (You want to step out,
Shaun?)
CGNakibe (2:47:30 AM): (Unfortunately yes. I'm
kinda... well, pretty much mentally dead.)
Idran1701 (2:47:36 AM): (*nods* Understandable.
:O)
Idran1701 (2:47:40 AM): (Night!)
CGNakibe (2:47:49 AM): (Later)
(2:47:55 AM) CGNakibe has left the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:48:02 AM): Sound good?
Idran1701 (2:48:35 AM): *the girl glances to the
boy as he speaks up* ...okay.
Idran1701 (2:48:36 AM): (d20)
OnlineHost (2:49:39 AM): TheWaiChibiAngel
rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:49:46 AM): (That's either
good, or bad!)
Idran1701 (2:49:51 AM): (Good!)
Idran1701 (2:50:13 AM): *Lil can tell the girl looks
a bit suspicious...even a little worried...perhaps
that he might let something slip?*
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:50:29 AM): *Raises her
brow at the girl* And you?
Idran1701 (2:51:25 AM): ...I guess...
Idran1701 (2:51:56 AM): *she definitely seems a
lot more guarded than the boy around Lil, from
her expression*
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:54:35 AM): I'm not here to
hurt anyone, or mess your town up. Just
passing through, and I'd like to know what's
happening while I'm here, huh? *SmileS*
Idran1701 (2:56:42 AM): *the boy smiles a little
back, nodding, but the girl just stays wary*
Okay.
TheWaiChibiAngel (2:58:01 AM): Now, I'll be
staying up at Adrains at least through the night.
Go find some good news for me, okay? Might
even have a reward for you.
Idran1701 (2:59:15 AM): All right! ...Okay.
Idran1701 (3:05:05 AM): ...Will you be here for the
market tomorrow?
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:05:30 AM): What time?
Idran1701 (3:07:37 AM): ...I don't know... It's hard
to tell around here...not long after halfway
through the day.
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:08:47 AM): Hmm..Might
be.
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:08:58 AM): I'll try.
Idran1701 (3:12:10 AM): Okay. I'll be picking
olives for it.
Idran1701 (3:13:55 AM): ...Come on, Dafydd,
dinner should be ready soon.
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:30:56 AM): See you
tomorrow.
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:30:57 AM): *OFF*
Idran1701 (3:31:18 AM): (Another d20. :O)
OnlineHost (3:31:37 AM): TheWaiChibiAngel
rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Idran1701 (3:32:31 AM): *as Lil leaves, she can
just catch some talking between the two...the
girl saying something about "dead skin" to
Dafydd*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:34:37 AM): *Lets it slide,
for now.*
Idran1701 (3:37:07 AM): *Lil continues on!
Walking down the street, things still look close
to empty.*
Idran1701 (3:37:19 AM): *A fellow heads into
another side street not far ahead of her...and
she just catches the sound of some sort of
cracking and grinding from down it not long
after he passes out of sight.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:37:49 AM): *Checks that
street as she passes, too.*
Idran1701 (3:38:01 AM): *...it's empty.*
Idran1701 (3:38:08 AM): *and a dead-end, too*
Idran1701 (3:38:46 AM): *a house on either side, a
wooden fence between them, with what looks
like a pasture past that*
Idran1701 (3:38:56 AM): (Between them blocking
passage, that is.)
Idran1701 (3:39:09 AM): (Not running between the
two houses, but blocking off the street.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:39:18 AM): (As in, "Where
the hell did that guy go?)
Idran1701 (3:39:22 AM): (Yeah.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:40:33 AM): *Stops*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:40:35 AM): *Looks
around*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:40:49 AM): (As in, not in
the ally, but in the street(
Idran1701 (3:41:10 AM): *No one else seems to
be in sight at the moment.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:41:20 AM): *Down that
alley!*
Idran1701 (3:42:32 AM): *Lil heads down the
alley. The fence does look jumpable, but it's
right near the back of the two houses, and it's
nothing but a field out past it; nowhere for
someone to be hiding.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:44:34 AM):
*INVESTIGATE > GROUND*
Idran1701 (3:46:43 AM): *The same dirt road as in
the rest of the village. No blood or anything to
suggest foul play, though it seems well packed
and solid, not even a clod around here.*
Idran1701 (3:50:20 AM): *Unfortunately, it's far
too well-packed to leave any footprints either.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:50:21 AM): *Walls!?*
Idran1701 (3:51:09 AM): *Walls are wood planks,
same as the fence. Seems to be local wood
too, from the look of it. No doors on either
side...a window or two, but closed tight and
curtained.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:53:01 AM): *ABOUT
FACE*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:53:08 AM): *BACK TO
THE MAIN STREET*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:53:17 AM): IM:
Something's wrong here. No kidding.
Idran1701 (3:53:47 AM): *it almost feels like
someone's watching her as she leaves the
alley...*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:55:06 AM): *Spins again,
ready to pop her katars*
Idran1701 (3:55:20 AM): *...still empty, not even
anyone at the windows*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:57:14 AM): Hmph!
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:57:15 AM): *Hurry!*
Idran1701 (3:57:21 AM): *TO?*
TheWaiChibiAngel (3:57:39 AM): *Back to the
road!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:00:40 AM): *Anyone
around now?*
Idran1701 (4:02:27 AM): *What looks like a
farmer heading home from the day seems to be
coming down the street towards her.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:03:27 AM): Pardon.
Idran1701 (4:04:24 AM): *he stops, nodding to
her; doesn't look too surprised to see her* Oh,
a new face!
Idran1701 (4:04:27 AM): (Another d20)
OnlineHost (4:04:37 AM): TheWaiChibiAngel
rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
Idran1701 (4:05:02 AM): Traveler, I assume?
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:06:16 AM): Uh, yeah..
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:06:31 AM): ..I don't mean
to be rude or anything, but I saw a man go into
that alley, and I heard something and he had
disappeared.
Idran1701 (4:08:29 AM): ...Oh? Are you sure?
*he glances off in the direction Lil points*
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:10:23 AM): Yes.
Idran1701 (4:11:22 AM): *he starts off that way*
And he just disappeared?
Idran1701 (4:11:42 AM): *though he seems to be
surprised, Lil gets the definite impression it's a
bit feigned*
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:16:17 AM): ..Yeah.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:16:25 AM): And I have the
feeling there's something going on here..
Idran1701 (4:17:01 AM): *reaching the alleyway,
he begins looking around, glancing back as he
talks* Going on?
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:18:30 AM): Yeah...
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:18:37 AM): I mean..
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:19:49 AM): It might be
dangerous, you know?
Idran1701 (4:21:19 AM): Well, don't know what to
say about that. I've lived here for years, it's
always been a pretty safe place.
Idran1701 (4:21:25 AM): Safer than the rest of the
plane, at least.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:21:45 AM): Yeah, but
things change.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:25:30 AM): I mean, what if
the fiends started coming into town?
Idran1701 (4:26:24 AM): Oh, believe me, that
wouldn't happen. They won't set foot near
enough the hill.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:27:18 AM): Why's that?
Idran1701 (4:29:59 AM): ...Couldn't say. Never
really thought about it. Just know that they
never have, all the time I've lived here.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:32:25 AM): What if it's
been a trick, though?
Idran1701 (4:35:15 AM): Ah, I'm not worried
about that. If it is, then we can fight them off.
We can be pretty determined as a village when
we have to be.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:35:33 AM): Really?
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:35:42 AM): Then there must
be a good reason the guy went into an alley
and disappeared.
Idran1701 (4:36:22 AM): Hmm. Must be, but
damned if I can see anything here.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:37:44 AM): *That seem
faked?*
Idran1701 (4:38:01 AM): (d20!)
OnlineHost (4:38:11 AM): TheWaiChibiAngel
rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Idran1701 (4:38:32 AM): *Well, it must be true in
some sense; Lil couldn't see anything either,
after all.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:38:58 AM): ..I..I know
what I saw..
Idran1701 (4:40:03 AM): I'm sure you did, miss,
but doesn't look like there's anything here.
Maybe you're just tired.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:41:11 AM): ..I don't get
tired.
Idran1701 (4:43:03 AM): Well, maybe the plane's
just getting to you. Looks like you've been
here a while, after all.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:43:17 AM): ...Yeah, maybe
that's it.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:43:21 AM): ..Thanks.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:43:24 AM): Sorry to bother
you.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:43:27 AM): *Begins out*
Idran1701 (4:44:31 AM): *as she leaves* Oh, it
was no bother. Maybe I'll see you around
again, if you stick around the village!
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:45:23 AM): IM: Hopefully,
you won't.
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:45:35 AM): *IF there's a
conveniant shadow, she'll put her hood up, and
slip into it.*
Idran1701 (4:46:36 AM): *The lighting on this
plane's a bit odd, but she finds a dark-enough
shadow. For now, at least, as long as it
doesn't decide to lighten up again.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (4:50:42 AM): *She'll look for
another one to head for in either direction, and
wait for McFarmer to come out.*
Idran1701 (4:54:58 AM): *He soon
emerges...glancing around himself, presumably
for Lil, he continues on down his previous
route.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:00:23 AM): *Lets him pass,
then tries to dart, ninja tyle, into the next.*
Idran1701 (5:04:59 AM): *Lil seems successful
enough; at least, he doesn't seem to have
noticed her. The dirt streets seem to be
helping, muffling the sound of her movement as
she heads down the road.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:05:19 AM): *She'll follow
him until the following gets bad, or he does
something zany!*
Idran1701 (5:07:25 AM): *He eventually seems to
arrive home - someone's home, at least - and
heads in, closing the door behind him...though
not well enough, it looks, as it slowly swings
back open.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:08:08 AM): *Ninja TO
THE DOOR!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:08:12 AM): (Next to it,
rather.)
Idran1701 (5:09:32 AM): *She can just spot him
ducking into a doorway at the far end of the
room...and it's not long after he's out of sight
that she again hears that cracking and grinding
noise.*
Idran1701 (5:13:52 AM): *Coming from Mr.
Farmer, of course.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:14:05 AM): *Spins!
KICKS THE DOOR!*
Idran1701 (5:17:02 AM): (A bit confused on my
part; where is Lil spinning towards?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:17:27 AM): (Had her back
to the wall, so she's turning to face it, whilst
kicking the door open.)
Idran1701 (5:19:25 AM): *She spins! The door is
kicked open, with no reaction from inside.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:19:56 AM): *Like, nobody
there?*
Idran1701 (5:20:37 AM): (Indeed. Besides the
room the farmer had gone into, there's another
room off to the side, but it seems like no one's
home at all.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:22:33 AM): *Charges in,
and kicks that open! Why? Because she's on a
goddamn door kicking spree.*
Idran1701 (5:23:02 AM): *The door is already
open, so there is no real need to kick it, but
who am I to deny a good door kick?*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:23:28 AM): (If Nebv was
still up, she'd understand the joke.)
Idran1701 (5:23:55 AM): *Yet within...it's empty,
with no other exit from the room. It looks to
be a fairly sparse bedroom, with the only other
bit of furniture a small nightstand, a waterglass
upon it.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:24:35 AM): Come out,
come out, whereever you are...
Idran1701 (5:25:28 AM): *there's no answer*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:25:43 AM): *Growls*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:25:45 AM): *And heads
out*
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:27:29 AM): *BAck to the
inn, it seems. Weighing options.*
Idran1701 (5:29:07 AM): (And cut for the night?
:O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:29:56 AM): (Sure!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:30:09 AM): (Right now, one
of two things seems likely)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:30:14 AM): (One: BREAK
TOWN)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:30:22 AM): (Two: BREAK
SOUND BARRIER (Whilst running!)*
Idran1701 (5:30:26 AM): (:D)
Idran1701 (5:30:28 AM): (Any theories?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:30:43 AM): (The town is
polarized one way or another.)
Idran1701 (5:30:49 AM): (Polarized?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:30:57 AM): (Either they're
so good that the demons want to stay away, or
so bad that the demons want to stay away.)
Idran1701 (5:31:09 AM): (*nod*)
Idran1701 (5:32:20 AM): (Anyway, XP! Just 100
base for tonight, but an extra 150 for Lil for
investigatory actions. :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:32:28 AM): (No Door
Kicking bonus?)
Idran1701 (5:32:38 AM): (We can say 25 of that is
door kicking bonus.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (5:33:07 AM): (:D)
