(9:29:28 PM) You have just entered room "legunda."
(9:29:32 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
(9:29:32 PM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
(9:29:33 PM) OMG Priam has entered the room.
(9:29:58 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
CGNakibe (9:30:57 PM): I see dead people. o.o
Idran1701 (9:31:09 PM): !
OMG Priam (9:34:08 PM): =(
Idran1701 (9:34:26 PM): Once Bes gets in here, we'll start. Unless someone needs more time to get ready?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:34:30 PM): *He just...kept...talking...*
Idran1701 (9:34:40 PM): Hmm?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:34:53 PM): *Coworker tonight was...Verbose.*
Idran1701 (9:35:04 PM): Aha.
(9:35:16 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
CGNakibe (9:35:19 PM): Was it at least an INTERESTING something?
CGNakibe (9:35:26 PM): I'm guessing no.
Besyanteo (9:35:39 PM): Had to help the family for a minute.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:35:45 PM): *"Did I tell you how much I like winter?"*
Idran1701 (9:35:52 PM): ...Yep, that's a no.
Besyanteo (9:35:57 PM): Also: Brain Age can't understand when my mom says "Blue".
CGNakibe (9:36:05 PM): A definite no.
Idran1701 (9:36:09 PM): Also: Hey Bes. Heh.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:36:31 PM): *I don't understand when she does, either.*
Besyanteo (9:36:45 PM): You're not programmed specifically to do so.
OMG Priam (9:37:06 PM): There's no 'g' sound in it
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:37:23 PM): *Bglue?*
CGNakibe (9:38:42 PM): I'm just not going to ask how you'd say that.
Besyanteo (9:38:44 PM): Moving right along.
Idran1701 (9:38:54 PM): Yes, quite. Everyone good to start? :O
CGNakibe (9:39:20 PM): You know I've got this problem with "Good" >:P
Besyanteo (9:39:26 PM): Ready.
CGNakibe (9:39:38 PM): Whenever you are.
OMG Priam (9:39:47 PM): Ding.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:39:54 PM): *:(*
SongstressEnlil (9:40:14 PM): *Aye*
Idran1701 (9:40:36 PM): (Then we shall begin!)
Idran1701 (9:41:08 PM): The party leaves the Mortuary, making their way under Amsoth's guidance to a Prime-esque inn he's informed them of, the Dragon's Vault.
Idran1701 (9:42:46 PM): They make their way through the crowded burg, leaving the death-filled building far behind them and coming to a small piece of construction squeezed into the street.
Idran1701 (9:43:00 PM): It looks much like the other buildings about here, with only the sign baring the aforementioned name revealing its identity.
Idran1701 (9:43:59 PM): Are, here ah we. You after!
CGNakibe (9:44:20 PM): IM: Damn Chaos cultists. e.e;;
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:44:25 PM): IM: ...That has to be intentional.
Besyanteo (9:44:41 PM): *simply enters,*
SongstressEnlil (9:44:46 PM): Thank you. *Makes his way in.*
Besyanteo (9:44:50 PM): *still looking in a foul mood since last episode*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:45:26 PM): *In!*
Idran1701 (9:45:28 PM): Inside, it looks...like a wooden building. Planks have been set up along the walls, ceiling, floor, to give the illusion of a simpler piece of architecture.
CGNakibe (9:45:32 PM): *follows Klaus* Hmph
SongstressEnlil (9:46:01 PM): IM: It does seem homey, doesn't it?
Idran1701 (9:46:10 PM): There's even a few "windows", though through them looks to be nothing more than paintings of landscapes. Normal landscapes, at least.
SongstressEnlil (9:46:21 PM): *Looks around at the patrons.*
Idran1701 (9:47:16 PM): There's a fellow in the corner, but other than that, looks like it's not a very popular spot. Least it means they'll have a bit of privacy, of course.
CGNakibe (9:47:36 PM): Not exactly popupar. >.>
CGNakibe (9:47:42 PM): *popular
CGNakibe (9:47:45 PM): (I blame Bes. >:{)
SongstressEnlil (9:47:53 PM): Then we're have excellent service, I expect.
Besyanteo (9:47:55 PM): (*stab* For what? o.o)
CGNakibe (9:48:06 PM): (Your horrible Typo disease. >:{ )
Besyanteo (9:48:14 PM): (Ah. Ok.)
Besyanteo (9:48:18 PM): (*stab* ^^)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:48:19 PM): (Haha, disease.)
Besyanteo (9:48:30 PM): *He takes a seat somewhere!*
CGNakibe (9:48:35 PM): (*bleeds.* ;_; )
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:48:37 PM): *Sits! ALSO SOMEWHERE*
CGNakibe (9:48:49 PM): *finds a seat and takes it.*
Idran1701 (9:49:30 PM): The fellow behind the bar perks up at their entry, as she moves to meet them at their table. Ah, hey there, gents. Welcome to the Dragon's Vault!
SongstressEnlil (9:50:13 PM): *Makes himself comfortable at the table of choice.*
Idran1701 (9:50:15 PM): She's human, middle aged, and with the signs (and light scars) of a past career probably not far from their own temporary one.
Besyanteo (9:50:40 PM): *no acknowledgment*
SongstressEnlil (9:50:49 PM): *Nods politely to her.*
Idran1701 (9:51:23 PM): She doesn't seem to have any of the odd accent they may have noticed amongst the other citizens here, either. So, what can I get for you all today?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:51:50 PM): Surprise me! ...IN a good way.
SongstressEnlil (9:52:13 PM): You know, I think she the right idea.
CGNakibe (9:52:30 PM): What have you got in the way of wines? >.>
OMG Priam (9:53:12 PM): *points to Lilium.*
OMG Priam (9:53:17 PM): *nods*
Idran1701 (9:53:17 PM): Well, that depends. You want something local, or one of our imports?
CGNakibe (9:53:57 PM): ... I guiess I'll try something local.
Idran1701 (9:54:11 PM): *nods*
Idran1701 (9:55:20 PM): *grinning* Good surprises are always!
Idran1701 (9:56:10 PM): ...*to Klaus* And you?
Besyanteo (9:56:32 PM): ... What they said. *glower*
Idran1701 (9:56:55 PM): Right. Well, then, won't be long. You folks spending the night here?
SongstressEnlil (9:57:28 PM): Yes, if there are vacancies.
Idran1701 (9:57:44 PM): *smiles* Oh, we have plenty of room.
CGNakibe (9:58:13 PM): Good to know.
Idran1701 (9:58:38 PM): And she heads in back, readying their meal.
SongstressEnlil (9:59:21 PM): Well then, where should we begin?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:59:33 PM): Well...
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:59:50 PM): We're supposed to go make a corpse, then bring it to them, before they'll..Uh..Look into things.
SongstressEnlil (10:00:22 PM): That is the short version, essentially.
CGNakibe (10:01:01 PM): Sounds wonderful.
Besyanteo (10:01:07 PM): It's not technically murder, and we're within legal boundaries.
CGNakibe (10:01:17 PM): Hm.
SongstressEnlil (10:01:22 PM): That is debatable, really
Besyanteo (10:01:26 PM): He already signed his body over, he just doesn't want to give it up now that he's...
SongstressEnlil (10:01:50 PM): The thing is, the official punishment for this isn't making him a corpse.
Besyanteo (10:01:50 PM): >_> ... There's a binding contract in place. My point is that we won't spend time in a cell for enforcing it.
Besyanteo (10:02:00 PM): (Blah.)
SongstressEnlil (10:02:04 PM): It's prosecution for theft.
SongstressEnlil (10:02:24 PM): Given, I am unsure of how Sigil treats such a thief.
SongstressEnlil (10:02:54 PM): We do have something of an out, in this case, however.
SongstressEnlil (10:03:13 PM): He is not presently within Sigil, or any other civilized place, apparently.
CGNakibe (10:03:34 PM): So let me get this straight. Just to be sure.
CGNakibe (10:04:18 PM): To get their help we need to find a dead person who isn't here. Who apparently is vaguely alive again and not at all interested in repaying the death cult to whom he owes his undisturbed remains. >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:04:47 PM): Well, he's alive like...I am.
SongstressEnlil (10:04:52 PM): Apparently, he has found a way to prolong himself, which breaks the contract.
CGNakibe (10:04:57 PM): ... I have this vague feeling I should've had more wine before this point.
SongstressEnlil (10:05:07 PM): I have a copy of the standard contract, if you would like to see.
CGNakibe (10:05:44 PM): ... *sighs* I can at least assume you both found it in order without even taking a look myself.
SongstressEnlil (10:06:33 PM): There is the discrepancy in punishment that I mentioned, but it does seem to be legal.
CGNakibe (10:07:01 PM): And how close to alive does he have to remain for their... satisfaction?
SongstressEnlil (10:08:26 PM): What I believe is that they want him to be dead.
CGNakibe (10:09:42 PM): Hmm.
Idran1701 (10:09:57 PM): And here comes their food and drink; looks like a fairly big plate of...some sort of meat. Looks like pork, but tougher. Boar, maybe?
CGNakibe (10:10:46 PM): *starts with the drink. Definitely need something right about now*
SongstressEnlil (10:10:48 PM): *Looks to Ken, trying to read what he thinks, or if he's paying attention at all*
SongstressEnlil (10:11:05 PM): *Not too slow on his own, either* Thank you.
Idran1701 (10:11:20 PM): It's an...odd wine. Some sort of strange bite to it, and not even the barest bit of grape.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:11:26 PM): Dead and returned.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:11:44 PM): *Drink!*
OMG Priam (10:12:10 PM): *is paying attention, and seems to be deep in thought.*
Idran1701 (10:12:12 PM): It's fairly sour, but it's wine, at least.
Besyanteo (10:12:15 PM): *eats and drinks sparingly*
OMG Priam (10:12:27 PM): *politely eats, in the interim.*
CGNakibe (10:12:29 PM): And they told you where to find them? *frowns at the wine, but its better than nothing*
SongstressEnlil (10:13:20 PM): Not exactly. We know what place he's at, in vague terms, but not how to get there.
CGNakibe (10:14:09 PM): *munches the mystery meat*
CGNakibe (10:14:12 PM): Hm.
Idran1701 (10:14:46 PM): The meat's a nice counterpoint to the wine, being nicely cooked and quite flavorful. It's definitely boar, for those of the party here that have had it before.
SongstressEnlil (10:14:46 PM): I expect full disclosure upon agreeing to the task.
SongstressEnlil (10:15:02 PM): *Has a modest share of the roast.*
OMG Priam (10:16:15 PM): (Man, I was about to make a Gibbs joke.)
CGNakibe (10:16:42 PM): IM: Not SO bad, I suppose.
SongstressEnlil (10:17:00 PM): IM: Not at all exotic, that's rather nice.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:17:43 PM): IM: Hmm...
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:17:49 PM): IM: I wond-NO YOU DON'T.
Besyanteo (10:18:38 PM): (I believe Charcoal could be quoted as thinking that when she was eatting that bear.)
CGNakibe (10:18:57 PM): ("Bear tastes like chicken. >:{{{")
OMG Priam (10:19:03 PM): (Have some Capri-Sun =O)
Idran1701 (10:19:09 PM): (Or does chicken taste like bear?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:12 PM): (:D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:33 PM): (Now all I need is "Emm wonders- NO EMM DON'T.")
CGNakibe (10:19:47 PM): (That's just because our Robot Masters haven't figured out any other tastes than chicken, you know.)
OMG Priam (10:20:07 PM): (Dr. Wily seriously needs to upgrade Chef Man)
Idran1701 (10:20:24 PM): (He already did. You should have seen Cook Man.)
CGNakibe (10:20:31 PM): So what DO we know about this person? Aside from the fact that he should never get loans.
CGNakibe (10:20:49 PM): (Before his upgrade he was Rancid Chef Man, you know.)
SongstressEnlil (10:21:02 PM): Amsoth, I don't suppose you would know how Sigil would prosecute a case of theft like this?
Idran1701 (10:21:20 PM): Hmm.
SongstressEnlil (10:21:56 PM): IM: I expect your and your guildsmen must have many problems with the law, afer all...
Idran1701 (10:22:43 PM): Hardheads'd, bring in first would him the well.
Idran1701 (10:23:36 PM): Him they'd the take to then Guvners to.
SongstressEnlil (10:23:44 PM): *Nods* IM: What a curious name for a police force?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:23:53 PM): ...What?
CGNakibe (10:24:03 PM): IM: Not the sort of name I'd expect from a town guard...
SongstressEnlil (10:24:13 PM): I believe the police take him to the...lawmakers?
Idran1701 (10:24:40 PM): He'd then trumped be however want up they.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:25:19 PM): *w* What the hell is he even saying?
OMG Priam (10:26:02 PM): im: I've lost what he's saying. The syntax...
SongstressEnlil (10:26:08 PM): *Nods to Amsoth*
Besyanteo (10:26:21 PM): (isn't that trussed up?)
CGNakibe (10:26:21 PM): So basically they'd jail him and find out whatever charges are suitable?
CGNakibe (10:26:35 PM): *shrugs* Close enough to home, I guess.
Idran1701 (10:26:37 PM): (Trussed, right.)
Idran1701 (10:27:02 PM): A "trial" after.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:27:15 PM): (Processor Awesome Talk, this one is not.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:27:22 PM): (Nor Professor.)
Idran1701 (10:27:22 PM): Pft. Those things, silly.
SongstressEnlil (10:28:25 PM): Well, let's cut to the chase. Do you think, if he were arrested, they'd execute him and give his corpse to the Dustmen?
Idran1701 (10:28:26 PM): And guy talk sent, gets bunch one up a of. Crazy!
Idran1701 (10:28:39 PM): Idea no.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:28:53 PM): ...I'm sorry, what are you even saying?
CGNakibe (10:29:01 PM): IM: Okay, now THAT one I didn't even follow.
Idran1701 (10:29:02 PM): ...What?
CGNakibe (10:29:19 PM): So they might not even enforce that contract.
Besyanteo (10:29:28 PM): (Can I make a wis check to translate that?)
CGNakibe (10:29:30 PM): No wonder the Dustmen wanted our help.
SongstressEnlil (10:29:34 PM): *To Amsoth* You're getting rather hard to follow.
Idran1701 (10:29:36 PM): (Sure. Same for the rest. :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:29:39 PM): I can't understand a damned thing you're even saying.
OnlineHost (10:29:44 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Besyanteo (10:29:52 PM): (It works. :o)
Besyanteo (10:30:00 PM): *he clears his throat*
Besyanteo (10:30:26 PM): "A bunch of talk, and one guy gets sent up. Crazy."
Besyanteo (10:30:48 PM): He's just complaining about the concept of a trial.
CGNakibe (10:30:48 PM): Ah.
Idran1701 (10:30:49 PM): I that's said what.
CGNakibe (10:31:30 PM): But in any case, you MIGHT be right on the business of whether or not we'd be commiting a crime by the local law.
CGNakibe (10:31:38 PM): Still..
SongstressEnlil (10:31:56 PM): I suppose, then, this comes down to a few matters. Do we want to do this? And do we trust them to provide what they promised?
CGNakibe (10:32:32 PM): Better question. Do we really have a choice in trusting them or not?
SongstressEnlil (10:32:35 PM): If they decide to cheat us, we likely wouldn't have any recourse.
CGNakibe (10:32:39 PM): Its not like we're spilling over with other options.
Idran1701 (10:32:41 PM): Eh. Crimes worry you, about I freedom say out, miss on.
Besyanteo (10:33:23 PM): (... this is Wis again.)
OnlineHost (10:33:28 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Besyanteo (10:33:33 PM): (Still a pass.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:33:39 PM): Oh, come ON!
Idran1701 (10:33:49 PM): ...*stares at Lil* What?
CGNakibe (10:33:53 PM): You have your way, sir. I have mine. >.>
Besyanteo (10:33:58 PM): ... Be that as it may, Amsoth,
Besyanteo (10:34:08 PM): We would like to avoid prison if at all possible.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:34:26 PM): Normally please talk can you? Little least a at?!
CGNakibe (10:34:41 PM): *looks over at Lillium* o.o
CGNakibe (10:34:52 PM): *snickers*
Besyanteo (10:34:58 PM): ... Lilium. Calm yourself.
SongstressEnlil (10:35:03 PM): *Trying to stifle a grin*
Besyanteo (10:35:55 PM): IM: One of these days, I think she's going to kill everyone. And they'll be too busy laughing to notice. ... That in itself would be amusing.
Idran1701 (10:36:02 PM): ...Normal this how know do isn't you?
SongstressEnlil (10:36:17 PM): Anyways, Personally I'm not sure if I trust the Dustmen to act to the fullest of their ability on Liliums behalf.
Idran1701 (10:36:25 PM): *grinnig* Crazy all maybe you're!
CGNakibe (10:37:20 PM): Not if she wants to be alive again, at least.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:37:35 PM): *Sighs*
Besyanteo (10:37:47 PM): The alternative is not trying at all,
Idran1701 (10:37:47 PM): *nods, still grinning* With I'd myself that, agree.
Besyanteo (10:37:55 PM): and passing up the potentially useful source of information.
SongstressEnlil (10:38:22 PM): They are...insular, from what I have gathered. I doubt they would be inclined to fully share without demanding more from us, especially from you, Lilium.
Besyanteo (10:38:43 PM): (insular?)
CGNakibe (10:38:44 PM): However.
Idran1701 (10:38:50 PM): Them could you join.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:39:01 PM): ...Yeah, no.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:39:08 PM): IM: Got that, at least./
SongstressEnlil (10:39:28 PM): (Yep)
CGNakibe (10:39:33 PM): Unfortunately they WOULD like you, Lilium. I mean, in your current state you probably would inspire them.
CGNakibe (10:39:35 PM): Or something.
Besyanteo (10:39:36 PM): (I dunno what it means. ._.)
Idran1701 (10:39:40 PM): Really? It of think. Alive a trying Dustie to be!
Besyanteo (10:39:43 PM): (*grabs google*)
OMG Priam (10:39:44 PM): ( www.m-w.com )
Idran1701 (10:40:02 PM): *chuckles*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:40:25 PM): ..I'm really sorry, but honestly, I can't understand anything you're saying.
Besyanteo (10:40:45 PM): ... In this instance, you wouldn't have appreciated it.
Besyanteo (10:41:06 PM): In any case, I don't think we'll be joining them, Amsoth.
Besyanteo (10:41:30 PM): ... So, it seems that no one is comfortable with the idea of running the Dustmen's little erand for them.
Besyanteo (10:41:47 PM): Shall we move on to finding a way back to Legunda tomorrow, then?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:41:52 PM): I...Don't..really...mind...
Besyanteo (10:42:37 PM): ... *looks about* That's one.
CGNakibe (10:42:38 PM): I wouldn't say that, now.
CGNakibe (10:42:46 PM): The request IS reasonable.
CGNakibe (10:42:59 PM): Unless there's something else we don't know about it.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:46:16 PM): Anyone else?
Idran1701 (10:46:29 PM): It I like.
SongstressEnlil (10:46:29 PM): Well, there is the fate of this corpse, should we bring it in.
SongstressEnlil (10:46:39 PM): *To Arian*
CGNakibe (10:46:53 PM): You intend to come along with us, Amsoth? >.>
Idran1701 (10:47:01 PM): No, oh.
Idran1701 (10:47:10 PM): Idea but the like I!
SongstressEnlil (10:47:10 PM): They wish to animate it, I am certain. They use undead for labor.
CGNakibe (10:47:26 PM): Uh... huh.
CGNakibe (10:47:34 PM): Well, that makes some sense, at least.
SongstressEnlil (10:48:05 PM): They seem to have a sort of truce with the dead, but the man we spoke with claimed not to know the details.
SongstressEnlil (10:48:27 PM): Which is, I think, a bit odd.
CGNakibe (10:49:42 PM): Hm.
CGNakibe (10:49:50 PM): But you see my point.
CGNakibe (10:49:56 PM): I don't see any reasons they'd help us.
CGNakibe (10:50:11 PM): Yet... I don't see any reason to refuse them that's truly strong.
Idran1701 (10:50:15 PM): *to Karl, smirking a bit* He's think lying?
SongstressEnlil (10:50:32 PM): *Nods* Quite. Hiding, really.
CGNakibe (10:51:09 PM): Hm.
CGNakibe (10:51:19 PM): That DOES sound like something he should have known.
SongstressEnlil (10:51:50 PM): Which is why I don't trust them to be entirely forthright about Lilium, especially given their, ah, vested interest.
Idran1701 (10:53:12 PM): Guide, I'm your well. Advice want my?
SongstressEnlil (10:53:37 PM): Please. But in simple terms?
Idran1701 (10:54:36 PM): Out help them. Them listen to. Don't you it like? Them someone, pike else find.
SongstressEnlil (10:55:06 PM): I rather like the idea of finding someone else, anyways. I doubt they know how to get back to Legunda.
Idran1701 (10:55:33 PM): *nods*
Idran1701 (10:55:37 PM): ...Idea have I a!
Besyanteo (10:55:49 PM): *just listening for a bit*
SongstressEnlil (10:57:24 PM): Yes?
Idran1701 (10:57:34 PM): *he takes a breath, preparing to speak...*
Idran1701 (10:58:04 PM): *...and turns towards the bartender and sole other patron* HEY! KNOW TWO YOU LEGANDA?
OMG Priam (10:58:17 PM): >_>
CGNakibe (10:58:20 PM): >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:58:27 PM): IM: ...What?
OMG Priam (10:58:28 PM): *straightens his manhole cover*
Besyanteo (10:58:28 PM): ...
CGNakibe (10:58:37 PM): IM: And that's what you get for expecting his plan to make SENSE.
CGNakibe (10:58:43 PM): -.-; *siiip*
Besyanteo (10:58:46 PM): *this is where you need a saviour's name to use as an expletive*
SongstressEnlil (10:58:52 PM): *Eyes widen a bit. Then, he laughs a bit*
Idran1701 (10:59:12 PM): Of course, the blank stares that issue from them suggest they are just confused. ...Not guess.
Besyanteo (11:00:23 PM): (*spontaeneously turns all the characters and NPCs into gerbils.*)
Idran1701 (11:00:36 PM): (Once you decide on what you're doing tomorrow, I'll time skip, but don't want to before then.)
SongstressEnlil (11:01:03 PM): Well. Hm. We'll need a new source of information, then.
Idran1701 (11:01:27 PM): Upstairs maybe someone's?
SongstressEnlil (11:02:06 PM): I was thinking more akin to a library, really, or a place where Scholars gather.
CGNakibe (11:02:08 PM): ... Perhaps we should just go about the Dustmen's errand first. -.-
SongstressEnlil (11:04:07 PM): *Looks to the others for their opinions.*
OMG Priam (11:05:17 PM): (How long have they been in Sigil?)
OMG Priam (11:05:24 PM): (s/they/we)
Idran1701 (11:05:25 PM): (A few hours.)
OMG Priam (11:05:32 PM): *looks at Amsoth.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:05:35 PM): *Shurg*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:05:40 PM): *That's right. Shurg.*
OMG Priam (11:05:45 PM): ......
Idran1701 (11:05:46 PM): *looks back to Ken*
OMG Priam (11:05:55 PM): .....Is it always this bright here?
CGNakibe (11:06:24 PM): (Coal... err, I mean, Lilium, stop summoning demons into the chat. >:{)
Idran1701 (11:06:29 PM): ...No, oh. Comes goes it and.
OMG Priam (11:06:48 PM): Where is the sun?....The source?
Idran1701 (11:06:54 PM): What the?
Idran1701 (11:07:02 PM): One there ain't.
Idran1701 (11:07:26 PM): Seems to be a silly question to him.
SongstressEnlil (11:07:33 PM): I thought so.
OMG Priam (11:08:23 PM): The light, comes from nothing?
Idran1701 (11:08:29 PM): Yep.
CGNakibe (11:08:34 PM): Strange.
OMG Priam (11:08:56 PM): *stops talking. Mildly preturbed.*
Idran1701 (11:08:56 PM): Lady or the from maybe.
SongstressEnlil (11:09:05 PM): It must come from somewhere. We simply don't know what.
SongstressEnlil (11:09:10 PM): IM: Lady?
Idran1701 (11:09:21 PM): Who says?
Besyanteo (11:09:28 PM): ... I don't see how this is stranger than the last place we visited.
SongstressEnlil (11:09:52 PM): Not necessarily more strange, just differently strange.
Besyanteo (11:10:04 PM): Even so.
Besyanteo (11:10:51 PM): IM: Am I the only one here who understands that nothing we experience in this jaunt through reality will range from peculiar to horrifically obtuse?
Besyanteo (11:11:01 PM): (nothing=everything*)
Idran1701 (11:11:08 PM): (Yes. Yes he is.)
SongstressEnlil (11:11:26 PM): IM: If only they knew...
Idran1701 (11:12:05 PM): (Anyway! Any objections to agreeing to the errand?)
Besyanteo (11:12:20 PM): (Karl: Then there's this one plane, where there's nothing there but random crap! Almost no paper clips, though. This blue haired guy keeps stealing them.)
CGNakibe (11:12:24 PM): (Lots! But it looks like we'll PROBABLY do it anyway.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:12:33 PM): (In FFTA, I have a moogle named Karl :( )
Besyanteo (11:12:37 PM): (None.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:12:47 PM): (I'm down.)
Idran1701 (11:12:50 PM): (Not trying to railroad you guys, just that this is taking a while.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:13:02 PM): (*Train noises*)
Besyanteo (11:13:02 PM): (See, that's the thing:)
SongstressEnlil (11:13:05 PM): (For Karl, it'll come down to how the rest votes; and whether or not Lilium trusts them. Because if the person whose behalf they're working on doesn't trust them what's the point?)
CGNakibe (11:13:06 PM): (Four words that bring fear. The Plane of Omar.)
Besyanteo (11:13:07 PM): (No one wants to make a decision.)
CGNakibe (11:13:40 PM): (Arian just wants to do this because nothing better has popped up just yet. And research would take a good while)
CGNakibe (11:13:51 PM): (Which is what got them here in the first place. Research.)
Besyanteo (11:13:52 PM): (So we speculate forever, without having hard data to make a better decision from.)
Besyanteo (11:14:50 PM): (So...)
Besyanteo (11:15:01 PM): (Either we ignore all the potential problems, and get moving...)
Idran1701 (11:15:06 PM): (So, then: Lil and Klaus say yes, Karl says yes contingently, Ken seems fine, and Arian has some objections.)
Besyanteo (11:15:12 PM): (Or we go out and learn more about the Dustmen. >_>)
Besyanteo (11:15:23 PM): (And we should really just choose)
CGNakibe (11:16:34 PM): (Sounds like a lot of "Yes, but..." Overall.)
OMG Priam (11:16:36 PM): (Ken will vote yes if asked.)
Besyanteo (11:16:51 PM): (Ok, then we go do it. ... That only took about an hour. o.o)
Idran1701 (11:17:02 PM): (Well, looks like the majority's in favor of "nothing better to do". :D)
SongstressEnlil (11:17:02 PM): (Pretty fast, really)
CGNakibe (11:17:03 PM): (Democratic process at work.)
CGNakibe (11:17:26 PM): (It actually should have taken longer, is the sad part. >:P)
SongstressEnlil (11:18:14 PM): (Only we have one guy who doesn't talk, one not interested in talking, and one who doesn't like most of us enough to talk)
Idran1701 (11:18:17 PM): The sixsome head off to bed after completing their meal and their debate. They awaken the next day, having slept well in pretty nice beds, actually.
SongstressEnlil (11:19:36 PM): *Actually doesn't seem that drowsy this morning. What?*
OMG Priam (11:20:00 PM): *Still is a little agitated.*
Besyanteo (11:20:04 PM): *He's up, ready to go.*
CGNakibe (11:20:09 PM): (Renames Karl to "Beet")
Idran1701 (11:20:36 PM): Amsoth is also up, and downstairs, turning to greet the first one down the stairs.
Idran1701 (11:21:10 PM): Ah, good morning! Ready to depart?
OMG Priam (11:21:40 PM): (Even a busted clock is right twice a day)
Besyanteo (11:21:45 PM): (I nominate Karl to be first up. For suitable WTF value.)
CGNakibe (11:22:40 PM): I suppose.
CGNakibe (11:22:51 PM): (I second this motion.)
Besyanteo (11:23:01 PM): (You just took it away from him though. o.o)
SongstressEnlil (11:23:04 PM): *Nods, focusing on breakfast. Possibly some sort of flapjacks*
Idran1701 (11:23:20 PM): Good to hear it! I'll head with you back to the Mortuary, even if I won't be joining you out.
Besyanteo (11:23:22 PM): *In any event, brekkers.*
CGNakibe (11:23:29 PM): .... Hey Karl. *sits*
CGNakibe (11:23:36 PM): ... wait. Karl? >.>;;
Besyanteo (11:23:58 PM): I see you're making an effort to speak normally this morning.
Idran1701 (11:24:03 PM): ...What?
CGNakibe (11:24:06 PM): Since when did you get up this early?
SongstressEnlil (11:24:10 PM): Hm?
Idran1701 (11:24:19 PM): What do you mean?
SongstressEnlil (11:24:20 PM): Oh. The beds here are really quite nice,
Besyanteo (11:24:36 PM): ... *he just smiles* Nothing.
CGNakibe (11:24:39 PM): ... I suppose they were. Even so.
CGNakibe (11:24:50 PM): For a moment I thought you'd found a library already.
SongstressEnlil (11:25:04 PM): I tend to have...some difficulty resting, while on the go.
SongstressEnlil (11:25:17 PM): Really, this place is a gift from Lilia.
CGNakibe (11:25:19 PM): *nods*
OMG Priam (11:26:24 PM): *steps into the room. A little later to awake than the others, but he seems okay from under that plate of his.*
CGNakibe (11:26:47 PM): IM: ... why DOES he wear that thing anyway? <.<,
Idran1701 (11:26:50 PM): Ah, morning, Ken!
SongstressEnlil (11:27:07 PM): *Destroying flapjacks with mathematical precision.*
OMG Priam (11:27:13 PM): *nods.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:27:36 PM): *Comes down, grinning. A lot.*
Besyanteo (11:27:49 PM): ( I have to stop browsing this fucking site. )
Besyanteo (11:27:57 PM): ...
Besyanteo (11:28:06 PM): Good morning, Lilium. >_>
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:28:12 PM): Yo!\
Idran1701 (11:28:13 PM): *looks to the new arrival* You seem in a good mood, Lilium.
SongstressEnlil (11:28:32 PM): IM: Well, it seems she has few misgivings.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:28:51 PM): Because I found out more about that truce.
Besyanteo (11:29:01 PM): ... What? When?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:29:11 PM): Last night. *Sits*
SongstressEnlil (11:29:22 PM): Please, share what you've learned!
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:29:50 PM): Oh, it's a pretty sweet setup.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:29:59 PM): I can't hurt them, and they can't hurt me. Physically or magically, that is.
Idran1701 (11:30:03 PM): *grinning* Found a way around it or something?
SongstressEnlil (11:30:37 PM): Well, if what they said is true, it doesn't violate the truce to hire a few mercencaries.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:30:37 PM): We're allowed to cause one another stress, emotional trauma, and all sorts of mean things. Just so long as it's not actually causing them, you know, pain.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:31:05 PM): If they hold out on me...
CGNakibe (11:31:11 PM): ... And am I the only one mildly uncomfortable at the fact you enjoy this information? >.>
Besyanteo (11:31:17 PM): ... IM: I can see property damage in our future.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:31:22 PM): Well, you don't live in a mercenarie baricks without learning some tricks.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:31:25 PM): (Er, Mercenary)
Idran1701 (11:31:30 PM): (Also barracks.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:31:34 PM): (What the fuck happened there? I blame Phantom Brave.)
Besyanteo (11:31:43 PM): (Lilium: A BAG OF ORANGES! >_<)
SongstressEnlil (11:31:48 PM): IM: You know, this should make neogtiations very interesting.
SongstressEnlil (11:32:16 PM): IM: Well, they'll both get what's coming to them.
Besyanteo (11:32:37 PM): ... It occurs to me, though.
SongstressEnlil (11:32:39 PM): Did they say anything about how this was established, or how far it reaches?
Idran1701 (11:33:07 PM): *just chuckling at Lil's discovery*
Besyanteo (11:33:35 PM): If, somehow, you become human again after causing too much, ah, stress... And are still accessible,
Besyanteo (11:33:51 PM): What keeps them from killing you and raising you as a mindless slave?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:33:54 PM): Throughout the planes. Started a when they started.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:34:03 PM): You think THEY could kill me?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:34:11 PM): That MAGE only barely pulled it off, and he didn't even do it all the way!
Besyanteo (11:34:27 PM): A large number of mages against one bodyguard in an enclosed space?
Besyanteo (11:34:34 PM): ... I'd say they have a fair chance.
CGNakibe (11:34:35 PM): You make it sound like they couldn't possibly have more able-bodied members. >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:34:57 PM): More than me?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:35:00 PM): Bah.
Idran1701 (11:35:01 PM): *to Lil* Ah, don't worry about that. No fun if you think about things like that!
Besyanteo (11:36:40 PM): *After the pause* At any rate,
Besyanteo (11:36:58 PM): Anything else we should do before going to the mortuary and accepting?
Besyanteo (11:38:31 PM): *finishing breakfast, yup*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:38:49 PM): *Shrugs*
SongstressEnlil (11:38:56 PM): Nothing that cannot wait, on my part.
CGNakibe (11:38:58 PM): Nothing that I can think of.
Idran1701 (11:39:35 PM): *stands* Well, then!
Idran1701 (11:39:54 PM): You'll need me to show you the way back, I'd bet, so let's go.
OMG Priam (11:40:18 PM): *also finishes his rather meager breakfast.*
SongstressEnlil (11:40:49 PM): *Dessimates the final flapjack, and sanitizes himself*
Besyanteo (11:40:59 PM): Go when are ready you to.
Besyanteo (11:41:22 PM): *looking at Amsoth*
Idran1701 (11:41:51 PM): Nodding, he heads out through the door and down the street.
OMG Priam (11:42:02 PM): >_>
Besyanteo (11:42:03 PM): *and off they go?!*
Idran1701 (11:42:05 PM): (Ah, also, everyone mark off 2 silver for the night's room.)
SongstressEnlil (11:42:09 PM): *Follows, after paying*
Idran1701 (11:42:22 PM): (And food and whatnot. Included in the price of the room.)
CGNakibe (11:43:08 PM): (Noooo! My preeecious preeecious.... ;_; )
Idran1701 (11:43:52 PM): They head back through the streets, once more arriving at the Mortuary! Those who wish to enter are allowed to do so, and the group is told they are expected.
SongstressEnlil (11:44:36 PM): *Heads in, if only to observe*
Besyanteo (11:45:21 PM): *The same!*
CGNakibe (11:45:32 PM): *follows, this time wanting to see the creepy death folk for himself*
OMG Priam (11:45:34 PM): *Stays out.*
Idran1701 (11:47:08 PM): (Shini?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:48:10 PM): (Sorry.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:48:15 PM): *In!*
Idran1701 (11:48:24 PM): Amsoth stays outside as well, keeping Ken company. Those that enter are allowed in straight to Nicolas's office, where the Dustman awaits them.
SongstressEnlil (11:49:00 PM): (Asmoth: Let's go kick some hobo ass, Ken!)
Idran1701 (11:49:01 PM): Again the halls show themselves to be filled with milling-about robed folks, as well as a number of undead servants, both fleshed and skeletal.
CGNakibe (11:49:32 PM): <.<;; >.>;; IM: Perhaps this WASN'T such a good idea.
SongstressEnlil (11:49:54 PM): *Trying not to look at the undead that much*
Idran1701 (11:51:00 PM): Ah, greetings once more.
Idran1701 (11:51:13 PM): *gesturing to Arian* This would be one of your further allies?
Besyanteo (11:51:25 PM): *nod*
SongstressEnlil (11:51:25 PM): *Nods*
Idran1701 (11:51:37 PM): *nods as well* Then have you come to a decision?
CGNakibe (11:51:50 PM): e.e *trying his best to look stern.... as opposed to slightly freaked out.*
SongstressEnlil (11:52:08 PM): We've decided to accept.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:52:31 PM): *Nods*
Idran1701 (11:52:44 PM): I am quite pleased to hear that, and glad to have your aid.
Idran1701 (11:53:24 PM): Now, then...
Idran1701 (11:54:09 PM): ...Transit shall be accomplished fairly easily. There is a portal to the Astral located in this building, leading to an abandoned Githyanki mausoleum not far from the Godcorpse where Mebis can be found.
SongstressEnlil (11:54:38 PM): When was he last sighted there?
CGNakibe (11:54:46 PM): *w* Godcorpse?
SongstressEnlil (11:54:59 PM): *w* It's what it sounds like.
Besyanteo (11:55:06 PM): (Personally,)
CGNakibe (11:55:12 PM): *w* I was afraid of that.
Besyanteo (11:55:24 PM): (I have to wonder why people aren't more unnerved by that concept. =D)
SongstressEnlil (11:55:33 PM): (Tonbae)
Idran1701 (11:55:35 PM): A week ago, when some of our number attempted to retrieve him unsuccessfully.
SongstressEnlil (11:55:56 PM): (Legunda has a possibly dead deity, so the idea isn't so foreign)
Besyanteo (11:56:11 PM): (Now consider: )
CGNakibe (11:56:19 PM): IM: *shudders* And... how does one kill a god? And why would one leave a corpse? And I wonder what happened to the worshipers of it...
Besyanteo (11:56:22 PM): (Dead things decay, normally.)
Besyanteo (11:56:34 PM): (So what the hell happens to pieces of a dead god that fall off?)
SongstressEnlil (11:56:43 PM): (Ask the Githyanki :D)
Idran1701 (11:56:43 PM): (Perhaps Mebis is just one of the maggots?)
Besyanteo (11:56:51 PM): (Hee.)
CGNakibe (11:56:51 PM): (Ever wonder why there are 9 hells? >:P )
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:56:54 PM): *Just sits!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:57:07 PM): (Because people wouldn't let Adam get away with "Super Hell")
Idran1701 (11:57:07 PM): (Rule of Three, berk. >:)
CGNakibe (11:57:19 PM): (SUPER HELL OHNOES.)
SongstressEnlil (11:57:29 PM): *Nods* What else can you tell us?
CGNakibe (11:57:44 PM): (Is that where all the lame Vampire RPers go?)
SongstressEnlil (11:58:09 PM): (Yes)
CGNakibe (11:58:20 PM): (Finally, GOOD news tonight.)
Idran1701 (11:59:53 PM): Unfortunately, little. Our group was allowed inside, escorted, so they can confirm he was there. However, they were held and blindfolded while brought within his home.
SongstressEnlil (12:00:13 AM): *Frowns a little*
CGNakibe (12:00:21 AM): Sounds like he's spitting in your eyes. Fun.
Idran1701 (12:00:25 AM): One piece of good news; it seems the artifact which gives him this state, as well as his control over the other undead, is still necessary for him to sustain himself.
Idran1701 (12:01:09 AM): From what our group could observe when speaking with him, it would seem that removing or destroying it would quickly send him closer to the True Death.
SongstressEnlil (12:01:32 AM): What is this artifact?
Idran1701 (12:02:35 AM): A sliver of the Godcorpse itself, used as his focus. From what we can tell, as he has no talent himself in magery, it seems to have been...spontaneous. Not consciously directed.
Idran1701 (12:02:43 AM): Perhaps he died there naturally from other causes and it revived him, perhaps it was the intent of another, we cannot say.
SongstressEnlil (12:03:24 AM): *Nods*
SongstressEnlil (12:03:38 AM): IM: This will be an intriguing outing.
Idran1701 (12:04:36 AM): Is there anything further?
SongstressEnlil (12:04:57 AM): Do you have a basic description?
Idran1701 (12:05:05 AM): Of?
SongstressEnlil (12:05:32 AM): Mebis. It would be annoying to come across someone else and mistake the two.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:06:12 AM): And much worse.
Idran1701 (12:06:58 AM): Aha. A half-elf. Mid-adulthood. Short in stature, and despite his state, the artifact seems to be preserving him.
CGNakibe (12:07:23 AM): Hm.
Idran1701 (12:07:31 AM): Brown hair, garb of poor quality, and two scars. One across his right shoulder caused by a dagger during a fight 3 years ago and one across his stomach from an encounter with an Abiashi 7 years ago.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:08:01 AM): And...
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:08:07 AM): What about the artifact that's preserving him?
SongstressEnlil (12:08:11 AM): IM: Abiashi?
CGNakibe (12:08:28 AM): IM: What's an Abiashi?
Idran1701 (12:08:35 AM): Apparantly one of the former power's eyelashes.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:08:52 AM): *Nods*
OnlineHost (12:08:55 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
CGNakibe (12:09:20 AM): And, if I may ask. What sort of thing would an Abiashi be? o.o
SongstressEnlil (12:09:35 AM): IM; Definit- Well, that cuts to the quick.
Idran1701 (12:09:42 AM): One of the lower-ranked Baatezu. Devils, you may know them as.
CGNakibe (12:09:57 AM): Ah.
Idran1701 (12:10:40 AM): We required a full accounting of his body's condition at the time of signing, you see.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:11:12 AM): *Nods*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:11:13 AM): Question.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:11:38 AM): What would happen to any other undead that got near that supposed artifact?
SongstressEnlil (12:13:02 AM): IM: Yes, why aren't you sending your own undead?
Idran1701 (12:13:57 AM): I'm uncertain, I must admit. Though given the nature of what has occured, it seems to be giving off a great deal of negative energy to allow for these effects.
CGNakibe (12:14:02 AM): I suppose that makes sense. You'd certainly want to know what you were getting.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:14:35 AM): Soo...
Idran1701 (12:14:38 AM): Our men reported no ill effects themselves, so it seems any effect isn't strong enough to harm the living, at least.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:14:43 AM): *Nods*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:14:50 AM): IM: ...Heh.
(12:15:45 AM) CGNakibe has left the room.
(12:16:00 AM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:16:01 AM): (..Strider Hiryu's theme.)
CGNakibe (12:16:24 AM): (Strider Hiryu, you say?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:16:34 AM): (His theme from MvC*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:16:38 AM): (Which is keen.)
CGNakibe (12:16:47 AM): (Ah, good times.)
SongstressEnlil (12:17:26 AM): *Seems finished with questioning*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:17:54 AM): (Followed by Naxxramaus.)
Idran1701 (12:18:18 AM): Then you may depart immediately, should you so wish.
SongstressEnlil (12:18:57 AM): *Nods* Perhaps you could send someone to alert out companion outside?
Idran1701 (12:19:05 AM): *nods* Of course.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:19:35 AM): (Holy McShit, Phantom Brave DOES have a revive spell.)
CGNakibe (12:20:18 AM): *nods*
Idran1701 (12:20:30 AM): He stands, heading for the door slowly.
Idran1701 (12:20:42 AM): Follow me, I shall send a messenger on our way to the portal.
SongstressEnlil (12:20:56 AM): *Makes to follow!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:21:17 AM): *Follows!*
Idran1701 (12:21:20 AM): (Ken can catch up with the group on the way through the halls, Priam.)
SongstressEnlil (12:21:44 AM): (Poor Ken. He's under the Monju clause)
Besyanteo (12:21:45 AM): *likewise*
SongstressEnlil (12:21:51 AM): (It sucks to be foreign)
Idran1701 (12:23:32 AM): They head deeper into the massive building, with the other Dustmen looking to keep a close eye on them.
OMG Priam (12:24:01 AM): (It sure does!)
Idran1701 (12:24:16 AM): Purely for security, or because of Lilium's presence, who can say? But soon they come to a small room, in what looks and smells like a section of the building devoted to body preparation.
SongstressEnlil (12:24:17 AM): *Well, since they're being watched so blatantly, Karl will feel no real guilt in appraising them without hiding it politely!*
CGNakibe (12:24:28 AM): (Aren't we ALL Foreign at the moment?)
SongstressEnlil (12:24:40 AM): (Some more than others)
CGNakibe (12:24:45 AM): *sniff sniff* IM: Ugh.
OMG Priam (12:25:10 AM): (*tosses the cutting board, Xena-style, off several walls, through some pipework, into the court--nothing but net)
Idran1701 (12:25:14 AM): (Yeah, this is kind of like someone in Holland talking about being from Minneapolis, not St., Paul, consarnit! >:)
SongstressEnlil (12:25:20 AM): *Covers his lower face with his hand.*
Besyanteo (12:25:47 AM): *ODdly doesn't look bothered*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:26:09 AM): IM: Huh.
Idran1701 (12:26:11 AM): This is one of many rooms we use to consign the departed to their home plane. Since the abandonment of the mausoleum on the far end, however, we have not had to use it in some time, this matter being the exception.
Idran1701 (12:26:30 AM): *doesn't seem to be bothered either*
SongstressEnlil (12:27:01 AM): *Nods*
Idran1701 (12:27:35 AM): This portal is unkeyed, merely step through the doorway.
CGNakibe (12:27:46 AM): IM: Damnit. I guess when you worship death, your nose is the first thing to go. >.<
SongstressEnlil (12:28:12 AM): Unkeyed? Interesting. I was not aware of such things. I presume it leads back as well?
Idran1701 (12:28:18 AM): It does, yes.
SongstressEnlil (12:28:44 AM): *Nods, and walks toward it, then through it.*
Idran1701 (12:29:17 AM): The portal flares into existence as Karl approaches it, and it blinks out soon after he steps through its boundaries.
Besyanteo (12:29:26 AM): *he follows!*
CGNakibe (12:29:35 AM): *... stares at it for a moment, and then follows Klaus*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:30:46 AM): *Through!*
Idran1701 (12:31:47 AM): (Priam? :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:32:29 AM): IM: If this works..
OMG Priam (12:34:09 AM): .....
OMG Priam (12:34:19 AM): *also steps in.*
OMG Priam (12:34:45 AM): im: Perhaps in this realm, we will be able to jump downwards...
Idran1701 (12:35:01 AM): The party, at the far end, finds themselves at the rear of a stone building, empty slabs on either side of them.
CGNakibe (12:35:32 AM): Not exactly what I'd call a summer home...
Idran1701 (12:36:19 AM): It's a fairly large room, with space for multiple people to work this morbid job, but no one is to be found now.
Idran1701 (12:36:34 AM): It looks completely dust-free despite the apparant lack of use, and in the wall at the other end of the room is what looks like the only door out.
Idran1701 (12:38:09 AM): Something feels off about the area as they walk about, but they can't quite place it.
Idran1701 (12:38:23 AM): Then again, a lot's felt off ever since they got out here.
SongstressEnlil (12:38:24 AM): *Waits for the others to come through*
Idran1701 (12:38:41 AM): (The party comes through fine. :O)
OMG Priam (12:39:14 AM): im: ....This is not the time for my country's ego.
Besyanteo (12:39:22 AM): *he simply goes and tests the door*
OMG Priam (12:39:40 AM): *takes his wooden hat off, puts it across his back*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:40:14 AM): ....Where the hell?
SongstressEnlil (12:40:18 AM): *Notes the de-hatting, then follows Klaus.*
OMG Priam (12:40:42 AM): *follows, pulling out one of those cards in one hand.*
CGNakibe (12:40:46 AM): Careful. Who knows what else is here.
Idran1701 (12:40:47 AM): The door opens quite easily, and outside the room...huh. There's a silver void, as far as the eye can see. The ground ahead of the doorway goes out for about 20 feet, and then just...stops.
Idran1701 (12:40:53 AM): So that's what infinity looks like.
CGNakibe (12:40:55 AM): *follows Klaus*
CGNakibe (12:41:09 AM): ..... o.o. Well.
Idran1701 (12:41:14 AM): (It continues around to the sides, it just doesn't go any further forward than that.)
OMG Priam (12:41:15 AM): ..........
Besyanteo (12:41:31 AM): ... My.
OMG Priam (12:41:37 AM): *looks at the ground.*
CGNakibe (12:42:36 AM): I... don't think we'll be going THAT way.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:42:38 AM): ...What?
CGNakibe (12:42:58 AM): ... will we?
OnlineHost (12:42:59 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
SongstressEnlil (12:43:47 AM): IM: Well, I can see why people don't starve here.
Idran1701 (12:43:56 AM): They can see a few specks ahead, as if other things float out in the distance.
OMG Priam (12:43:58 AM): Let us go whichever direction the path leads us to our destination.
SongstressEnlil (12:44:41 AM): Lilium, would you be so kind as to jump?
SongstressEnlil (12:44:50 AM): Straight up, that is.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:45:01 AM): Uh...
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:45:07 AM): Okay?
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:45:18 AM): *Jumps! But at only half the effort she normally would. more of a hop, really.*
Idran1701 (12:45:26 AM): (d20!)
OnlineHost (12:45:31 AM): TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
SongstressEnlil (12:45:40 AM): (Hilarity :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:45:53 AM): (Lil: I'm gonna fudgin' kill you guys!)
Idran1701 (12:45:58 AM): Lilium thinks about going up, and hops! And she goes up...and up...and...
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:46:12 AM): ...What the fuck is this shit!?
SongstressEnlil (12:46:14 AM): I thought so.
OMG Priam (12:46:16 AM): *grabs foot*
Besyanteo (12:46:24 AM): ... *tries to do likewise. Foot grabbing.*
CGNakibe (12:46:26 AM): Um. What just happened?
Idran1701 (12:46:33 AM): As soon as she's conscious of the strangeness of this, however, she seems to remember gravity and falls, slowly, back to the ground.
Besyanteo (12:46:56 AM): ... *tries not to be in her way, then*
SongstressEnlil (12:46:58 AM): I didn't think they'd send us unless the way there was blantantly obvious.
OMG Priam (12:47:14 AM): ........
OMG Priam (12:47:38 AM): *lifts one leg. Foot to his knee.*
CGNakibe (12:48:14 AM): So, what? You're saying we just JUMP?
Besyanteo (12:48:28 AM): ...
SongstressEnlil (12:48:28 AM): *Closes his eyes, and walks toward those things in the distance, ignroing the edge entirely and counting ten steps silently, or however many he thinks it would take to get him a decent way over the edge.*
OMG Priam (12:48:37 AM): im: ....Perhaps I am becoming too cogniscent of the absurdity of my situation. To give the senseless a pattern....
OMG Priam (12:48:43 AM): *lifts the other leg, foot to knee.*
Idran1701 (12:49:09 AM): (Int checks from both of them.)
OnlineHost (12:49:23 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
OMG Priam (12:49:28 AM): (Do I get a bonus for having called it before stepping through?)
Besyanteo (12:49:34 AM): (reason or knowledge? :o)
OnlineHost (12:49:39 AM): OMG Priam rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Idran1701 (12:49:42 AM): (Afraid not.)
Idran1701 (12:49:47 AM): (And reason.)
OMG Priam (12:49:49 AM): (NOT WHAT RUNES SAY)
SongstressEnlil (12:50:03 AM): (Priam, the runes say take out the trash)
OMG Priam (12:50:14 AM): (You're reading them upside down)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:50:19 AM): (It's Neb's job this week!)
Idran1701 (12:50:19 AM): Karl begins walking forward, and keeps on going into the open..."air". Eventually, it comes to realize he doesn't need that leg movement at all.
Idran1701 (12:50:27 AM): Meanwhile, Ken is floating there, both legs bent upwards.
Besyanteo (12:50:39 AM): ... *wills himself to fly forward*
Besyanteo (12:50:47 AM): *and slightly up*
SongstressEnlil (12:51:04 AM): *Turns to face the group.*
Idran1701 (12:51:07 AM): (Check for Klaus. :O)
OnlineHost (12:51:15 AM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Besyanteo (12:51:22 AM): (easily passed.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:51:23 AM): What..The hell is going on?
Idran1701 (12:51:26 AM): There he goes!
OMG Priam (12:51:27 AM): *meditating, apparently, with eyes open.*
Besyanteo (12:51:39 AM): Don't question it... Just...
Besyanteo (12:51:42 AM): Fly. o_o
(12:51:51 AM) CGNakibe has left the room.
OMG Priam (12:51:53 AM): Wait.
Besyanteo (12:51:54 AM): *looks fairly amazed, for once.*
(12:51:54 AM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
OMG Priam (12:51:56 AM): *sets his legs back down*
CGNakibe (12:52:09 AM): .... *watches all this in silence. And more than a bit of awe*
SongstressEnlil (12:52:17 AM): It's noteworthy one does not age here, or need to eat or drink.
Idran1701 (12:52:26 AM): Ken is back to standing now!
Besyanteo (12:52:26 AM): ... What? >_>
OMG Priam (12:52:33 AM): If you tumble, then you will float.
SongstressEnlil (12:52:34 AM): I believe time does not exist as we know it.
CGNakibe (12:52:37 AM): (Okay, what the crap? AIM said it was disconnected, but kept updating this chat.)
Idran1701 (12:52:45 AM): (It's done that to me before many times.)
Besyanteo (12:52:49 AM): (ditto)
Idran1701 (12:52:51 AM): (It's frustrating!)
Besyanteo (12:53:06 AM): ... More research you've done?
SongstressEnlil (12:53:10 AM): It's about all know, really. Just a snippet I picked up in Arcadia.
Besyanteo (12:53:30 AM): (all I know*?)
SongstressEnlil (12:53:38 AM): (Aye)
Besyanteo (12:53:51 AM): (righto. I was about to take your intent very differently,)
Besyanteo (12:53:58 AM): (And have Klaus try to summon some fire.)
OMG Priam (12:54:17 AM): Disorientation is your key to the beginnings of true understanding.
Besyanteo (12:54:22 AM): (I think it exists, and thus it does. :o)
Idran1701 (12:54:33 AM): (Nope, that's a different plane.)
Idran1701 (12:54:35 AM): (:D)
Besyanteo (12:54:39 AM): (I figured. =D)
CGNakibe (12:54:43 AM): ... Um. Well..
SongstressEnlil (12:54:48 AM): Shall we?
OMG Priam (12:54:48 AM): *'sits up' again*
Idran1701 (12:55:14 AM): Lil finds that she can get a grasp on what she did before, and...forget that gravity is supposed to exist.
Besyanteo (12:55:25 AM): *he begins lazily circling those still standing on the ground*
Besyanteo (12:55:41 AM): Aren't you an arcanist, Arian?
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:55:48 AM): Hey, uh...Is this supposed to happen?
Besyanteo (12:55:50 AM): Honestly, how far beyond you can this be?
CGNakibe (12:55:51 AM): *imagines a walkway spanning the path to the distant lights, and thus starts walking*
OMG Priam (12:55:56 AM): *attempts to slowly rotate, eventually going upside down with relation to his original orientation.*
Idran1701 (12:56:12 AM): (Dark specks, really. The entire plane's filled with light in an ambient sense.)
Idran1701 (12:56:18 AM): (And a check for Arian.)
OnlineHost (12:56:25 AM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Idran1701 (12:56:35 AM): (Another check for Ken, too, since that's a bit tougher than just moving.)
Idran1701 (12:56:41 AM): Arian gets the hang of it!
SongstressEnlil (12:57:02 AM): (Ken: Now I just need to figure out how to zap things in rhythm*
OnlineHost (12:57:08 AM): OMG Priam rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
CGNakibe (12:57:09 AM): I am. But I prefer to know the forces I'm dealing with first
CGNakibe (12:57:32 AM): And what little I read about these planes tells me that each one reacts in new and strange ways.
OMG Priam (12:57:34 AM): (Pervy knows precisely what I was thinking)
Besyanteo (12:58:15 AM): (some fighitng game I don't know?)
SongstressEnlil (12:58:15 AM): Perhaps you'd care to accompany me to a library later, Arian?
OMG Priam (12:58:18 AM): (Rez)
CGNakibe (12:58:57 AM): I wouldn't mind it in the least.
OMG Priam (12:59:14 AM): *spins in mid-hallway.*
SongstressEnlil (12:59:17 AM): (Alternately)
Besyanteo (12:59:26 AM): (Karl: Gods know you could have spent more time there at the academy.)
Idran1701 (12:59:26 AM): Also, those here (except Lil, of course) notice something else strange. They're breathing, but they don't seem to be taking anything in.
SongstressEnlil (12:59:32 AM): (Ken: Now to hit spheres for Macca)
Besyanteo (12:59:42 AM): ... *stops breathing, just experimentally.*
Besyanteo (12:59:53 AM): *feel anything?*
Idran1701 (1:00:04 AM): Nope!
OMG Priam (1:00:22 AM): *on the other hand, is breathing rhythmically and deliberately, to focus.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:00:52 AM): *Sits, for a moment.*
Besyanteo (1:01:01 AM): *he spirals slowly, just for the hell of it. Atleast he's enjoying himself*
CGNakibe (1:01:07 AM): Hm.
OMG Priam (1:01:09 AM): *remains 'upside down,' and floats 'down' to the ceiling, and sits there.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:01:10 AM): You know, you're all still floating around like idiots, and I STILL HAVE NO. IDEA. WHY.
Idran1701 (1:01:15 AM): (And he's not even wreaking havoc to do it!)
SongstressEnlil (1:01:20 AM): *Just standing, or hovering, there.*
Besyanteo (1:01:21 AM): (Aren't we headed for the specs yet?)
CGNakibe (1:01:30 AM): But we're floating.
Besyanteo (1:01:31 AM): (It's 4 AM. :{ )
CGNakibe (1:01:36 AM): That should count for something.
Besyanteo (1:01:40 AM): ... I believe our target is out there. >_>
Besyanteo (1:01:43 AM): Floating.
OMG Priam (1:01:45 AM): It is likely.
Besyanteo (1:01:53 AM): Therefore, we should head there now...
CGNakibe (1:01:57 AM): *starts walking his imagined path* So? Lets go.
Besyanteo (1:02:00 AM): *he makes to do so*
OMG Priam (1:02:03 AM): This complicates matters--we have three directions to explore to search for him, rather than our usual two.
OMG Priam (1:02:18 AM): Do we have something by which we can search?
CGNakibe (1:02:23 AM): *stops* Hm? Oh. Yes. There is that.
SongstressEnlil (1:02:46 AM): Just a description of him.
Besyanteo (1:03:37 AM): A description and far off objects in an otherwise empty void.
OMG Priam (1:03:40 AM): *looks to Arian.* Can you change your sight to the æthers once more? We can use that as a focal point. The more intense the energies, the greater chance we find our man.
CGNakibe (1:04:04 AM): Just one problem.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:04:09 AM): (My headphones just broke hardcore :( )
Besyanteo (1:04:14 AM): (Eep?)
OnlineHost (1:04:15 AM): TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Idran1701 (1:04:16 AM): (What happened?)
CGNakibe (1:04:16 AM): They called this a Godcorpse.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:04:21 AM): (They broke.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:04:23 AM): (Hardcore.)
OMG Priam (1:04:38 AM): (From the top buckle?)
SongstressEnlil (1:04:48 AM): In a very literal sense.
CGNakibe (1:04:51 AM): I have the feeling that if I tried to search the Astral here I'd get a nasty headache and not much else.
OMG Priam (1:05:01 AM): I shall do so, then.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:05:02 AM): (God, don't drag my headphones into your sick Rumble Roses fantasies.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:05:10 AM): ...Hey, shut up.
OMG Priam (1:05:12 AM): *switches papers, puts it over his eyes, pulls it apart.*
Besyanteo (1:05:20 AM): *looks at her curiously*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:05:28 AM): *Glances around*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:05:30 AM): IM: Where are you?
Idran1701 (1:05:36 AM): It appears to Ken that ARian is right; everything's magic here.
Idran1701 (1:05:40 AM): Even the void itself.
OMG Priam (1:05:55 AM): Such a refreshing, if stark, contrast to Sigil.
CGNakibe (1:06:29 AM): Even so. It closes one avenue completely.
OMG Priam (1:06:34 AM): One might say it is backwards, but that would be a meaningless claim considering the things we have seen.
Besyanteo (1:06:42 AM): ... *one way or another, he's going to go investigate those... specks.*
SongstressEnlil (1:06:43 AM): IM: Refreshing? Yes, he and I are going to have to talk.
SongstressEnlil (1:07:09 AM): *Once other people are on their way, Karl decides walking is for chumps, and glides out in that direction.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:07:09 AM): *Begins...Kinda..floating...away...*
OMG Priam (1:07:11 AM): *floats into the wide open spaces.* Well, unless there are other ideas?*
OMG Priam (1:07:15 AM): -*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:07:19 AM): Yeah.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:07:23 AM): You could shut up, and follow me.
Besyanteo (1:07:42 AM): ... What? You know something?
Besyanteo (1:07:48 AM): *honestly looks and sounds curious*
OMG Priam (1:08:06 AM): *looks at her as well, though his eyes are, for the moment, closed.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:08:10 AM): I...Feel it. It's calling me.
CGNakibe (1:08:16 AM): ....
Besyanteo (1:08:16 AM): ...
Besyanteo (1:08:22 AM): *wordlessly follows her*
SongstressEnlil (1:08:23 AM): Very well, then.
OMG Priam (1:08:24 AM): I would say that is a reliable method.
SongstressEnlil (1:08:41 AM): *Follows, with three more words that Klaus*
CGNakibe (1:08:47 AM): *Arian walks calmly towards the floating zombie girl*
OMG Priam (1:08:59 AM): *also follows, with more words than....well, shit. It's Kenichiro.*
Besyanteo (1:09:11 AM): (Arian now knows how the flight spell in Morrowind feels!)
CGNakibe (1:09:26 AM): (Heh)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:09:33 AM): *Weeee~!*
Idran1701 (1:09:39 AM): She heads down, in the direction back towards the building but below it and a bit to the left. The others follow her, and as they leave their floating island, they can see a speck that does look larger than most.
OMG Priam (1:10:03 AM): *dispels his enchantment, and busts out that other card again.*
Idran1701 (1:10:07 AM): As they near it, they can begin to make out...it's a giant figure. Or part of one, at least; the upper body and part of the chest, in some sort of macabre bust.
Idran1701 (1:10:35 AM): Also the head, you need that for a bust.
Idran1701 (1:11:33 AM): (And since it's getting late, cut here? :O)
Besyanteo (1:11:48 AM): (sure)
CGNakibe (1:12:11 AM): (This is good.)
CGNakibe (1:12:31 AM): (For obvious reasons I cannot log today. Can someone send me one instead?)
Besyanteo (1:14:47 AM): (testing)
CGNakibe (1:14:59 AM): (Rar?)
OMG Priam (1:15:04 AM): (BEEP)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:15:22 AM): (Hm!)
Idran1701 (1:15:32 AM): (Testing again.)
OMG Priam (1:15:33 AM): (I can log, if someone else does not mind recoding for background color.)
Idran1701 (1:15:36 AM): (Oh, wait, there it goes.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:15:40 AM): (I can get it.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:15:46 AM): (brb headphones)
CGNakibe (1:15:46 AM): (Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!. >:{ )
Besyanteo (1:15:53 AM): (That's good: It wasn't letting me send the message you gave me.)
CGNakibe (1:15:59 AM): (*whips the crap out of AIM*)
Idran1701 (1:16:00 AM): (...Me either.)
Idran1701 (1:16:04 AM): (It's that one specific message.)
Idran1701 (1:16:07 AM): (What the heck.)
Besyanteo (1:16:16 AM): ( 100 exp to all, +50 to ken)
Idran1701 (1:16:23 AM): (Yeah, that's it.)
Besyanteo (1:16:27 AM): (and Shaun gets his log)
OMG Priam (1:16:32 AM): =D
Idran1701 (1:16:45 AM): I've never seen that before.
Besyanteo (1:16:50 AM): I have.
SongstressEnlil (1:16:54 AM): *Same* (4:13:59 AM)</FONT></BODY></HTML>
Besyanteo (1:16:56 AM): Not often, but enough.
Idran1701 (1:17:00 AM): Weird.
OMG Priam (1:17:02 AM): What was the extra 50 for, for curiosity's sake?
Idran1701 (1:17:17 AM): Continued confoundment/awe/adaptation.
Besyanteo (1:17:38 AM): ... huh.
Besyanteo (1:17:46 AM): Some one, try this:
Besyanteo (1:17:54 AM): Type in "awe"
Besyanteo (1:17:55 AM): "/"
CGNakibe (1:17:58 AM): awe/
Besyanteo (1:18:01 AM): and "confoundment"
Besyanteo (1:18:04 AM): all as one word
Besyanteo (1:18:06 AM): and hit send
CGNakibe (1:18:13 AM): The Con problem.
Idran1701 (1:18:18 AM): ...Aha.
Besyanteo (1:18:22 AM): Hm?
Idran1701 (1:18:29 AM): There's some HTML tag that includes "/c-o-n", I bet./
CGNakibe (1:18:33 AM): AIM hates anything that contains "/" and Con.
Idran1701 (1:18:35 AM): So it just filters that out entirely.
OMG Priam (1:18:39 AM): Hunh.
OMG Priam (1:18:43 AM): /co
OMG Priam (1:18:52 AM): awe/co
OMG Priam (1:18:54 AM): Weird
OMG Priam (1:19:12 AM): I would love to see a listing of AIM /commands one of these days
Idran1701 (1:19:22 AM): Are there any besides //dice?
CGNakibe (1:19:25 AM): So would I.
OMG Priam (1:19:41 AM): Apparently there's /-con
Besyanteo (1:19:41 AM): There used to be a sound related one.
CGNakibe (1:19:47 AM): I bet half of it is legacy code.
Besyanteo (1:19:48 AM): I believe they took it out, though.
OMG Priam (1:19:50 AM): And I've seen kicks done
