(11:09:32 PM) You have just entered room "planescape20b."
(11:09:35 PM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
Idran1701 (11:12:45 PM): (All right, then. I'll go ahead and set it up.)
Idran1701 (11:12:52 PM): (Bit multitasky myself, so it might be a little slow.)
CGNakibe (11:13:10 PM): (Alrighty!)
Idran1701 (11:14:09 PM): Things in Delon are about as calm as you could expect on a plane of Law. Honestly, it's a bit surprising guards are even needed here, but here Arian is, on duty along with the others.
CGNakibe (11:14:36 PM): IM: Damn odd, really. But eh.
Idran1701 (11:15:20 PM): With the massive lull this entire duty is right now, it's a bit surprising when the leader of the caravan looks to be beckoning the mage over.
CGNakibe (11:17:22 PM): *trods over* Yes? >.>
Idran1701 (11:18:29 PM): Just got word from the Modron outpost on the other side of the gear they're havin' a bit of trouble. Doesn't look like much'll be happening here, so I'm sending you and Karinska out to handle it.
Idran1701 (11:18:54 PM): There'll be a bonus in it for the both of you. Wouldn't normally bother, but what the Modrons ask for around here, we give them.
CGNakibe (11:19:00 PM): Any idea what kinda trouble?
Idran1701 (11:21:53 PM): Some sort of chaotic presence here, harm to the plane, that sort of thing. Not sure why they can't handle somethin' like that themselves, but they said the guards here should be enough.
CGNakibe (11:22:25 PM): Well then. I'll see what I can do.
Idran1701 (11:23:48 PM): *nods* Good to hear it from you. Already talked to Karinska, she's waiting at the town gates. Check in when you two get back.
CGNakibe (11:24:15 PM): Yes sir. *gathers up his things and makes his way towards teh town gates*
Idran1701 (11:25:34 PM): It's a fairly quick travel; few Delonians out on the streets here, except those heading to or from somewhere. The small number he encounters seem quite interested in watching him, but none impede his travel.
CGNakibe (11:26:52 PM): IM: Wonder what it could be. It can't be that terrible or they would've asked more of us, and yet...
Idran1701 (11:29:05 PM): And indeed, waiting at the gates is Karinska, grinning to Arian as he approaches, and looking in much better spirits than before. So, he sent you along too, then?
CGNakibe (11:29:21 PM): Yes, although I have to wonder what for.
Idran1701 (11:30:10 PM): I'm feeling much the same, myself.
Idran1701 (11:30:14 PM): ...Honestly, I'm a little worried about what it might be.
CGNakibe (11:30:39 PM): Well, it can't be too massive, or they would've called more of us. Or perhaps... Hm...
Idran1701 (11:30:58 PM): ...What is it?
CGNakibe (11:32:05 PM): Eh. It could be a smaller matter.
Idran1701 (11:32:56 PM): Well, I hope so. *she looks calm enough, but her wings give off a slight shudder*
CGNakibe (11:34:31 PM): So do I, honestly.
Idran1701 (11:34:53 PM): I guess we won't know until we get there, though.
CGNakibe (11:35:59 PM): This is the sort of time that you wish the knowledge would come to you quicker.
Idran1701 (11:36:32 PM): *laughs a bit lightly* True enough. Do you want to lead the way, or should I?
CGNakibe (11:37:00 PM): It doesn't matter to me.
Idran1701 (11:38:12 PM): Well...I guess I'll take the lead, then.
Idran1701 (11:38:38 PM): *she starts off towards the nearest edge of the cog, glancing back to make sure ARian follows*
CGNakibe (11:38:42 PM): *bows* Lead the way, madam.
CGNakibe (11:38:46 PM): *Which he does!*
Idran1701 (11:41:37 PM): ...Thanks, by the way. I heard how worried you'd been.
CGNakibe (11:42:44 PM): ... err... No problem. *hey, is he blushing a bit?*
CGNakibe (11:46:42 PM): Well, I kind of felt a bit guilty too, you know. I... didn't know what that demon might do.
Idran1701 (11:47:25 PM): *quietly laughs a bit, smiling* No, it's sweet. I'd rather you not feel guilty about it.
Idran1701 (11:47:39 PM): I should have expected something like that, honestly. It's as much my fault as anyone's.
Idran1701 (11:49:50 PM): I shouldn't have trusted him, but...well, it turned out well in the end, didn't it? *stretches her wings to make the point*
CGNakibe (11:50:50 PM): Certainly seems to have worked out for the best.
Idran1701 (11:51:23 PM): And it gave me a few more experiences to learn from as well.
CGNakibe (11:51:56 PM): You enjoy your new wings?
Idran1701 (11:53:46 PM): *laughs* I do, yes. I tried them a little before we came on duty today, after I was feeling well enough.
Idran1701 (12:01:04 AM): I'm still a little clumsy with them, but I think I'm learning.
CGNakibe (12:02:07 AM): Either way its nice to se you up and about again. And possibly flying soon.
Idran1701 (12:04:23 AM): *smiles* Possibly. I actually made it almost ten feet earlier! It was...
Idran1701 (12:04:41 AM): ...I'm not even sure how to describe it. Before I hit the ground, at least. *chuckles*
CGNakibe (12:05:26 AM): *chuckles himself* Wouldn't mind learning how to fly myself. But I'm not sure I'd want to go back to get my own pair of wings.
CGNakibe (12:05:33 AM): Besides. I don't think they much liked us there.
Idran1701 (12:07:09 AM): *chuckles again* No, I don't think they did. And I didn't much like it there either.
CGNakibe (12:08:08 AM): Here is much better.
CGNakibe (12:08:08 AM): No buildings that burn you to the touch.
Idran1701 (12:08:57 AM): No giant balls of fire falling from the sky.
CGNakibe (12:09:25 AM): No eager demons with whips waiting to beat you if you stray too far.
Idran1701 (12:10:29 AM): No giant rivers of blood to cross.
CGNakibe (12:11:34 AM): All in all, a more SANE place.
Idran1701 (12:15:42 AM): Much more so, yes. I'll be glad to leave the Lower Planes far behind after that trip.
Idran1701 (12:16:34 AM): ...Well...that one, at least.
CGNakibe (12:16:46 AM): Agreed.
Idran1701 (12:18:10 AM): And so they've arrived at the edge of the cog. The rotation is a bit more noticable here; though there may be no sensation of wind against them, the ticking of the gear is much more apparant against their surroundings.
Idran1701 (12:19:10 AM): ...So...what do we do now?
CGNakibe (12:20:23 AM): Not sure. Although I was sort of expecting more wind here. Huh. *shrugs*
Idran1701 (12:21:09 AM): ...Actually, I don't think there's air here, exactly. I remember hearing that water breathers can live here as well as we can.
CGNakibe (12:21:28 AM): Eh. Makes this place very friendly to visitors.
Idran1701 (12:22:15 AM): *smiles* Another nice change of pace.
CGNakibe (12:22:22 AM): I remember someone mentioning that it also solves the language problem somehow.
Idran1701 (12:22:41 AM): Hmm. Interesting.
Idran1701 (12:23:05 AM): Not sure I'd like to live here, but it's enjoyable visiting here at least.
CGNakibe (12:25:39 AM): Maybe could use a beach or something like that.
Idran1701 (12:26:51 AM): *Karinska begins looking through her pack, glancing up to Arian* A beach? Never been to one, actually. Are they that nice?
CGNakibe (12:27:10 AM): They are pretty nice.
CGNakibe (12:28:56 AM): Last time I went to my grandmother's summer home, it was very nice.
CGNakibe (12:29:08 AM): Its been years but...
CGNakibe (12:29:11 AM): Eh. Nevermind that.
Idran1701 (12:29:16 AM): *a bit distracted as she looks back to her pack* Well, maybe you could show me one some day. There was a river near Faunel, but I don't think that's much the same.
Idran1701 (12:29:21 AM): ...Do you have any rope with you?
CGNakibe (12:30:20 AM): *opens up pack* May have had some in here somewhe.... damn. None to speak of.
Idran1701 (12:30:56 AM): ...Well, I guess we could try climbing down ourselves. I should probably go first.
CGNakibe (12:31:17 AM): Are you sure?
Idran1701 (12:31:42 AM): *smirks* Well, I'm the only one here that could catch themselves if they slip.
CGNakibe (12:32:47 AM): An excellent point.
Idran1701 (12:33:50 AM): All right...*takes a deep breath*...how about you lie down, hold onto me as I lower myself? The metal here's scuffed enough, you shouldn't slide much.
CGNakibe (12:34:25 AM): That's a good idea.
CGNakibe (12:34:39 AM): *implement plan alpha!*
Idran1701 (12:37:04 AM): Arian takes ahold of Karinska's arms, as she slowly edges herself over the side of the gear. Eventually, she's lying against the side, in the divot between the pair of 10-foot-wide teeth, when...
Idran1701 (12:37:17 AM): ...Arian, let go for a second.
CGNakibe (12:37:36 AM): If you're sure. *does*
Idran1701 (12:38:51 AM): *as Arian releases her...Karinska stays flat against the side of the gear without even holding on, lying perpendicular to what everything is telling Arian is "down"*
CGNakibe (12:39:27 AM): .... what the.... o.o
Idran1701 (12:39:36 AM): ...*chuckles* Well, this makes things easier.
Idran1701 (12:40:00 AM): *she gets to her feet...which strangely enough, for where she's standing places her along the edge of the gear*
Idran1701 (12:40:33 AM): I guess it makes a strange sort of sense.
CGNakibe (12:40:54 AM): Can't very well have you falling.
Idran1701 (12:41:21 AM): I guess not. Here, I'll give you a hand. *she kneels "down", offering her arm to Arian*
CGNakibe (12:41:57 AM): *Grabs* Hope this works...
Idran1701 (12:43:25 AM): *Karinska gives him a tug over the edge, and soon, Arian finds himself standing alongside her, as if on the rim of a giant wheel balanced on some floor beneath them*
CGNakibe (12:43:57 AM): ... well. o.o That's... Kind of odd. Kind of nice too.
Idran1701 (12:44:50 AM): ...*glancing around* It certainly takes a bit of getting used to, though. My head's still spinning a little.
CGNakibe (12:45:36 AM): *chuckles* Are you sure that isn't the "ground" beneath us?
Idran1701 (12:46:18 AM): ...Well, it might be.
Idran1701 (12:46:40 AM): I guess we just do the same thing on the other edge?
Idran1701 (12:46:49 AM): Just...step over it?
CGNakibe (12:46:59 AM): That seems logical enough.
Idran1701 (12:47:07 AM): ...You can go first this time.
CGNakibe (12:47:28 AM): *does his best to steeep over the side* If you insist...
Idran1701 (12:48:23 AM): *Arian steps over, and though it's still a little disorienting, he finds solid ground again beneath him on the underside of the gear* ...Are you all right?
CGNakibe (12:49:11 AM): Yeah... I'm.. I'm fine.
CGNakibe (12:49:31 AM): 9.9;;; Damned odd still, having your center just shift like that.
Idran1701 (12:50:11 AM): ...Can you help me over?
CGNakibe (12:50:22 AM): *holds out his hand* Don't mind if I do.
CGNakibe (12:50:48 AM): (Gah. To be honest I'm having a hard time staying awake now)
Idran1701 (12:51:25 AM): (*nod* Any chance of picking it up tomorrow before the session? Think you'd be around?)
CGNakibe (12:51:43 AM): (After around noon, barring interruptions, I should be.)
Idran1701 (12:51:52 AM): (*nod* You're in Central time, right?)
CGNakibe (12:52:10 AM): (Yeah.)
Idran1701 (12:52:20 AM): (All right, that should work fine for me.)
Idran1701 (12:52:21 AM): (Later!)
CGNakibe (12:52:51 AM): (Later Idran.)
(12:53:19 AM) CGNakibe has left the room.
