(9:08:54 PM) You have just entered room "sean32."
(9:08:56 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
(9:09:00 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:09:04 PM): *I SAID WE START LATE*
(9:09:04 PM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
Idran1701 (9:09:20 PM): WAIT I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE START LATTE
Idran1701 (9:09:35 PM): I HAD COFFEE MADE AND EVERYTHING :(
CGNakibe (9:10:26 PM): HEY, I COULD USE SOME COFFEE HERE>
Idran1701 (9:11:46 PM): Well then!
Idran1701 (9:12:16 PM): <SHALL WE BEGIN?>
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:12:43 PM): <SURE>
CGNakibe (9:12:47 PM): <OINK OINK>
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:12:49 PM): <VANIFONT>
Besyanteo (9:13:04 PM): (*lurk*)
Idran1701 (9:13:43 PM): The party has a comfortable rest in Circe's manorhouse, with their dreams little troubled by the forces of the Wastes this time around.
Idran1701 (9:14:35 PM): Soon, however, they begin drifting back to wakefulness, however reluctantly for some.
CGNakibe (9:15:06 PM): *yaaawns* IM: ... well... best sleep I've had all week.
Idran1701 (9:15:34 PM): Dafydd looks to have been the first one up in their group, sitting up in bed and looking intently at the bedsheet, turning it over in his hands as he studies it.
Idran1701 (9:16:12 PM): ...Oh...morning.
CGNakibe (9:16:21 PM): =.= Morning.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:16:54 PM): *Snore! WHY DOES THE ZOMBIE SNORE*
CGNakibe (9:16:58 PM): *starts up slowly, as he does when he's particularly comfortable*
CGNakibe (9:17:10 PM): IM: ... why is she asleep again? o.o
Idran1701 (9:17:10 PM): *Karin still dozes for now, her wings occasionally fluttering as she sleeps.*
Idran1701 (9:18:07 PM): ...Did you...sleep well?
CGNakibe (9:18:53 PM): ... yeah... for once.... I could use a bit more of that.
Idran1701 (9:19:14 PM): *nods, but looks a bit uncomfortable, keeping most of his attention on the sheet*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:19:51 PM): *Snore! ..Mumble..*
Idran1701 (9:20:15 PM): *glances over to Lil* ...Do you think she's sleeping okay too?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:21:15 PM): *Snort* 'n some puddin', too...*Snore!*\
Idran1701 (9:23:44 PM): *Karin shifts a bit, seeming to be coming back to wakefulness herself*
Idran1701 (9:24:22 PM): (...Darn it. One sec, brb.)
CGNakibe (9:24:33 PM): Hopefully.
CGNakibe (9:24:40 PM): I'm surprised, though. Thought she said she didn't sleep.
Idran1701 (9:31:44 PM): (Back.)
Idran1701 (9:32:07 PM): *nods, watching her*
Idran1701 (9:32:46 PM): ...Mmm...*rolls onto her side, letting her wing trail on the ground* Morning...
CGNakibe (9:34:49 PM): Morning. *nods to Karinska*
CGNakibe (9:36:05 PM): How'd you sleep?
Idran1701 (9:36:06 PM): ...How long've you two been up?
Idran1701 (9:36:22 PM): *smiles* Pretty well.
Idran1701 (9:36:26 PM): You?
CGNakibe (9:36:26 PM): I haven't been up that long.
CGNakibe (9:36:39 PM): Daffyd, on the other hand... *shrugs* Oh. I slept just fine.
Idran1701 (9:37:09 PM): ...It hasn't been that long...
Idran1701 (9:38:04 PM): *and there's a light knock on the door!*
CGNakibe (9:39:12 PM): Yes?
Idran1701 (9:40:16 PM): *it eases open, and a young woman in a tunic, about 15 with an olive complexion, pokes her head in* ...Good morning...
Idran1701 (9:40:34 PM): My mistress thought to check on you.
CGNakibe (9:41:06 PM): Ah, thank you. Is your mistress intending to meet with us now? o.o
Idran1701 (9:41:51 PM): After your...your preparations for the day. She thought to offer you a gift for today.
CGNakibe (9:42:10 PM): A gift, you say?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:42:14 PM): *Snore!*
CGNakibe (9:42:20 PM): *looks pointedly at Karinska*
Idran1701 (9:42:29 PM): *she nods and enters, head bowed, holding what looks to be clothing in their style for the four of them*
Idran1701 (9:42:38 PM): *looks back warily as she enters*
Idran1701 (9:44:06 PM): There are washrooms for you to use...and other girls to help prepare the women for tonight...
CGNakibe (9:44:17 PM): Thank you. And your mistress.
CGNakibe (9:44:27 PM): IM: Uh oh.
CGNakibe (9:44:35 PM): *Formal dress, I take it?*
Idran1701 (9:45:34 PM): *Formal Greek dress, at least; cloth that seems to be intended for use as tunics in their style. Not that Arian knows how to put it on properly, of course.*
CGNakibe (9:46:20 PM): ... IM: ... It sure LOOKS formal... but how would I put one on...?
Idran1701 (9:46:52 PM): *keeping her head bowed, she sets the cloth down on Arian's bed and stands quietly*
Idran1701 (9:48:49 PM): *she seems to be waiting, though she refuses to make eye contact with anyone in the room; Dafydd watches curiously, while Karin just frowns, looking a bit suspiciously over the cloth herself*
CGNakibe (9:48:51 PM): Again, thank you.
Idran1701 (9:49:13 PM): *nods* Of course, sir.
CGNakibe (9:49:23 PM): *still looks a little bit of "Oh crap" at the clothing*
Idran1701 (9:49:39 PM): Is there anything more?
CGNakibe (9:51:22 PM): Nothing that I can think of at the moment. Unless... *looks to Dafydd and Karin*
Idran1701 (9:52:17 PM): ...What...sort of preparation did you mean for us?
Idran1701 (9:53:30 PM): ...Preparing your hair, applying your makeup...that which is expected at a formal occasion, of course, ma'am.
Idran1701 (9:53:41 PM): ...I...see.
Idran1701 (9:54:59 PM): *Dafydd stays quiet, as the girl looks up* Then...may I take my leave?
CGNakibe (9:55:04 PM): *frowns finally.* IM: I was afraid sh'd say that. >.<
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:55:14 PM): Um, I think I'd do better without.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:55:21 PM): *..HOw'd she go from asleep to wide awake that quick?*
CGNakibe (9:55:28 PM): IM: Oh. So NOW she's awake.
Idran1701 (9:56:22 PM): *turns to Lil, bowing her head again, though they can catch sight of an odd expression* ...But...it is expected, ma'am...are you sure?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:57:05 PM): Er..Yeah, I don't think it'll work out well.
Idran1701 (9:57:36 PM): ...I shall...inform my mistress of that.
Idran1701 (9:59:03 PM): May I take my leave of you now?
CGNakibe (10:00:20 PM): You may go. *waves absently*
Idran1701 (10:00:42 PM): *she nods, and scurries out, closing the door behind them*
Idran1701 (10:01:38 PM): ...*stands, heading to the cloth and picking one of the folded sets up*...I guess we should have expected something like this...
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:01:49 PM): Bah.
CGNakibe (10:01:57 PM): I was afraid this would happen, yes.
CGNakibe (10:02:14 PM): I suppose I should figure out how to put on this.... what IS this, anyway? 6.6
Idran1701 (10:02:15 PM): ...Do any of you know how you wear these?
Idran1701 (10:02:28 PM): ...*chuckles* I guess you don't, then, Arian?
CGNakibe (10:02:35 PM): Sadly not.
CGNakibe (10:02:53 PM): Lilium was right. This probably WON'T work out.
Idran1701 (10:03:36 PM): ...*quietly* I saw how hers was...
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:03:57 PM): Oooh, Dafydd's looking at girls.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:04:03 PM): My little guy's all grown up..
CGNakibe (10:04:17 PM): *chuckles*
Idran1701 (10:04:27 PM): *blushes* No, I...I just notice things like that...
CGNakibe (10:04:33 PM): Although that at least means ONE of us knows something about these things.
Idran1701 (10:04:39 PM): ...It's part of how they taught us to shape...
CGNakibe (10:05:20 PM): They? They who..oh.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:06:41 PM): I know, I was just teasing.
Idran1701 (10:07:13 PM): ...*smiles a bit at Lil, and stands, walking over cautiously, still looking a little skittish* There were...two pieces of cloth...and they were pinned together. I think I can show you...
Idran1701 (10:09:10 PM): *he pokes through the pile, and finds a pair of strips of cloth about his size...a pair of sandals his size too; looks like they included shoes with the clothing*
CGNakibe (10:09:47 PM): .... Interesting... Eh. *shrugs* Strange things in different cultures
Idran1701 (10:11:28 PM): *grabbing them, he glances up to Arian briefly while he drapes them over himself, pinning the two strips together at each shoulder over his clothing*
CGNakibe (10:11:46 PM): Oh. So that's how they go, is it?
CGNakibe (10:12:10 PM): *picks the odd strips of cloth up and examines them to help figure it out* Hmm...
Idran1701 (10:12:11 PM): ...And...there was a belt too...oh, here it... *finding a thinner piece of matching cloth in the pile, he ties it around his waist a bit clumsily, looking to be in something of a rush to finish*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:12:39 PM): Think I can get away with saying I have no midsection?
Idran1701 (10:12:43 PM): ...But I...think you're supposed to wear it by itself...
Idran1701 (10:12:54 PM): ...*snickers lightly*
Idran1701 (10:13:28 PM): *once he's got it on, it seems to go about to knee length; from the look of things, that's the size they've all got*
Idran1701 (10:13:50 PM): *smirking* I think she might see through that, Lilium.
CGNakibe (10:13:58 PM): *puts it on... totally wrong at f irst...* Like this, I think....
Idran1701 (10:14:25 PM): (Far left tunic in this pic, is what they look like; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GreekClothes.jpg )
CGNakibe (10:14:59 PM): (Tunic Tunic Tun? o.o)
CGNakibe (10:15:04 PM): (Oh, wait, Toga~!)
Idran1701 (10:15:06 PM): ...No, the...stitching goes...it goes on the outside.
Idran1701 (10:15:10 PM): (Togas are different. :O)
Idran1701 (10:15:13 PM): (And Roman!)
CGNakibe (10:15:18 PM): (True!)
CGNakibe (10:15:35 PM): Oh? Hm... *takes off... tries to put it on once more*
Idran1701 (10:15:49 PM): (And they've got like 15 feet of cloth; I didn't want to scare the characters that much. :D)
CGNakibe (10:15:52 PM): *Well, its MORE correct, at least..* How about this?
Idran1701 (10:16:16 PM): That's...about right, yeah. *nods*
Idran1701 (10:16:35 PM): And then the...belt...you just tie it around yourself...
Idran1701 (10:17:24 PM): *grabbing some of the cloth herself* ...When you said by itself, Dafydd...
CGNakibe (10:17:36 PM): Oh. Okay. *does so* I... I think that did it?
Idran1701 (10:18:54 PM): *nods* I mean not...on top of what we're wearing like this.
Idran1701 (10:19:11 PM): (And I can assume Lil's not even bothering? :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:44 PM): *Not yet!*
Idran1701 (10:21:14 PM): And then the...the shoes are pretty easy...you just tie them around the bottom of your legs like she had.
CGNakibe (10:21:34 PM): Well, at least those make some sense to me.
Idran1701 (10:21:42 PM): (The sort that wrap up your calves, these are.)
CGNakibe (10:23:01 PM): (Those always looked kinda funky)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:23:18 PM): (This is not what we wanted to happen.)
Idran1701 (10:23:43 PM): (Hmm? :O)
CGNakibe (10:23:49 PM): *starts putting on the shoes* Why am I not surprised that she wished for a formal occasion?
CGNakibe (10:23:51 PM): (Hm?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:24:53 PM): (Nothing :D)
Idran1701 (10:25:14 PM): (:O!)
Idran1701 (10:25:44 PM): *starts putting hers on as well* I'll try to find those washrooms she mentioned.
Idran1701 (10:28:44 PM): Do you think you can handle everything here, Dafydd? *smiles*
Idran1701 (10:29:05 PM): ...*laughs a little* I...guess...
Idran1701 (10:29:25 PM): *chuckling a bit herself, Karin heads out!*
CGNakibe (10:29:28 PM): With some luck this won't go horribly poorly like I suspect.
CGNakibe (10:29:43 PM): Also, how long were you just laying there, Lilium? >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:30:01 PM): ..Wasn't someone bringing pudding?
CGNakibe (10:31:47 PM): Don't know what you're talking about.
Idran1701 (10:32:10 PM): *small snicker as he goes to sit next to Lil*
CGNakibe (10:32:53 PM): ... these things feel so odd, I must say.
Idran1701 (10:33:21 PM): ...They are kinda...weird.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:33:47 PM): ..No, seriously.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:33:52 PM): I thought pudding was on the..
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:33:54 PM): ..Nevermind.
CGNakibe (10:35:08 PM): To be honest I'd not mind that myself. But remember what (Insert Name I can't remember here) said about the food. -.-;
Idran1701 (10:35:15 PM): (Nicolas. :D)
CGNakibe (10:35:35 PM): (Nicolas, yes *tries to remember not to forget... whatshisname again.*
Idran1701 (10:35:59 PM): ...Yeah. I'm kinda hungry too...we won't be here much longer, will we, Lilium?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:38:06 PM): I hope not..
Idran1701 (10:39:15 PM): *nods*
Idran1701 (10:40:01 PM): *and Karin returns, blinking* ...I...think the hallway changed...but I found the washrooms.
CGNakibe (10:40:51 PM): The hallway... changed? o.o
CGNakibe (10:40:59 PM): Changed how?
Idran1701 (10:41:34 PM): ...Differently...arranged. They're just across the hall, but I...didn't think there were any doors there last night.
CGNakibe (10:42:10 PM): ... *more frowns in the future. Kinda like rainclouds.*
CGNakibe (10:42:22 PM): There probably wouldn't have been, would there? e.e;;
Idran1701 (10:43:25 PM): Well, at least it's convenient.
Idran1701 (10:44:54 PM): They're private too, I checked.
CGNakibe (10:45:02 PM): Yes, but for us or for our beloved host?
CGNakibe (10:45:18 PM): Although I suppose the two purposes are one at the moment. 9.9
Idran1701 (10:45:55 PM): *chuckles*
Idran1701 (10:46:36 PM): (Anything more, or everyone good with timeskipping on to the actual meeting? :O)
CGNakibe (10:48:07 PM): (Timeskipping is good for me at the moment)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:48:44 PM): (Yep)
Idran1701 (10:49:05 PM): (*nod* Before we do so, quick check; which of you are changing into the given clothing?)
CGNakibe (10:50:29 PM): (Arian is going to change into it. I mean, at this point he's not sure that there's anything else to do to not-piss-off the goddess)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:52:00 PM): (If pressed, Lil will.)
Idran1701 (10:52:33 PM): (She won't be forced, but she'll definitely be given the impression that it's a good idea.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:54:02 PM): (Then yes!)
Idran1701 (10:54:11 PM): (*nod*)
Idran1701 (10:54:16 PM): *WELL THEN!*
Idran1701 (10:55:18 PM): *Their preparations finished, the four head out into the courtyard, ushered along by another skittish-looking servant girl.*
Idran1701 (10:55:33 PM): *Karin and Dafydd look to have changed themselves; Karin even has her hair braided, though it doesn't look like she's entirely happy about it.*
Idran1701 (10:56:55 PM): *Circe stands waiting outside, wearing an outfit quite similar to theirs, though much more elaborate in embroidery*
CGNakibe (10:57:07 PM): *lets himself be led, just a bit... and then looks at Karin* A most interesting look for you, Karinska. *gives her a polite smile*
Idran1701 (10:57:45 PM): ...*sighs* They wouldn't stop hassling me until I let them do something.
CGNakibe (10:58:25 PM): *nods* I'm still not sure about this item... its still somewhat uncomfortable...
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:58:34 PM): *Doesn't have enough hair to braid :D*
Idran1701 (10:58:51 PM): ...*gives a polite smirk back* Nice legs, though.
Idran1701 (10:59:33 PM): ...I'm surprised they didn't try to...put a wig on you or something, Lilium. *chuckles*
CGNakibe (11:00:15 PM): *blushes* Yes, well...
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:00:17 PM): Can we not talk about Arian's nasty manlegs?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:00:28 PM): I mean, Dafydd's right here.
CGNakibe (11:00:33 PM): Can we not talk about Lilium's lack of festive hairpiece?
Idran1701 (11:00:59 PM): *Dafydd follows along closely alongside Lil, snickering a bit*
CGNakibe (11:01:01 PM): I mean, that thought is disturbing enough, I think.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:01:17 PM): Oh, so you admit I look well enough without!
CGNakibe (11:02:16 PM): ... suuuure. That's most certainly it, Lilium. -.-
CGNakibe (11:03:00 PM): IM: *sees an image of Lilium with enough wig to blot out the sun.*
CGNakibe (11:03:05 PM): *shudders, just a bit*
Idran1701 (11:03:36 PM): ...Cold? *laughs a little*
CGNakibe (11:04:16 PM): I think there's a tiny bit of a draft... 9.9;;
Idran1701 (11:06:12 PM): *soon, the foursome are in the courtyard proper, greeted by their hostess once more*
Idran1701 (11:06:34 PM): Ah, and greetings to you all. I see you have well recieved my gifts? *smirk*
CGNakibe (11:06:48 PM): *bows as best possible* Thank you for your generosity, m'lady.
(11:07:45 PM) Besyanteo has left the room.
Idran1701 (11:07:48 PM): *bows herself; more carefully, so as to not tip over*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:09:16 PM): (Sorry)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:09:34 PM): *Likewise* Yes, thank you.
Idran1701 (11:10:22 PM): *the same, though he also keeps quiet*
Idran1701 (11:11:04 PM): *she smirks* I am glad. For I have spoken to my matron, and she has agreed to bestow upon you the honor of her presence, if briefly.
Idran1701 (11:12:49 PM): She shall be arriving shortly, a brief stop on her nightly hunts. *smiles more widely now, approaching the four*
CGNakibe (11:14:35 PM): *nods* I'm just honored that she decided to see us at all. *tries his level best to not look as nervous as he FEELS... and probably is failing here.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:14:45 PM): *nod*
Idran1701 (11:15:07 PM): Hmph. And why wouldn't you be?
Idran1701 (11:15:53 PM): *stepping up to Lil, she hands something to her...something small, furry, and shaking, about the size of a large guinea pig*
CGNakibe (11:16:16 PM): (Hiii Nicolas~!)
CGNakibe (11:16:37 PM): A lemming. o.o
Idran1701 (11:16:57 PM): *to Lil, smirking once more* I tired of his whining and pleading. A gift I bestow to you.
CGNakibe (11:18:08 PM): IM: Whining? Pleading? I wonder..
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:18:10 PM): ...
CGNakibe (11:18:15 PM): *looks at the lemming...*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:18:19 PM): Ah..Thank you..
CGNakibe (11:18:34 PM): IM: Naah... couldn't be.... could it?
Idran1701 (11:19:00 PM): ...*looks to Lil, confused*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:19:32 PM): *Looks down!*
Idran1701 (11:20:17 PM): *glancing to the lemming, which does seem to have a familiar fur coloration to Arian*
Idran1701 (11:20:33 PM): *quietly* What...what is that?
CGNakibe (11:20:49 PM): *at first one eyebrow goes up... and then both...* IM: ....
CGNakibe (11:21:08 PM): *w* A lemming... and perhaps....
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:21:08 PM): IM: Huh.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:21:12 PM): IM: What's this about?
CGNakibe (11:21:38 PM): *w to Lilium* I... think your new pet already has a name... >.>;;;;
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:21:54 PM): *w* huh?
CGNakibe (11:22:09 PM): *w* Just look at it... err.. him.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:23:07 PM): *Looks!*
Idran1701 (11:23:10 PM): *the small rodent looks up to Lil, shaking*
Idran1701 (11:23:12 PM): (d20!)
OnlineHost (11:23:17 PM): TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
CGNakibe (11:23:24 PM): (Lil Knows Things.)
Idran1701 (11:23:36 PM): *There does seem to be a spark of intelligence in its eye...*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:24:05 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:24:08 PM): *w* I don't get it.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:24:12 PM): *There sure ain't one in hers :D*
Idran1701 (11:24:22 PM): (Heh. :D)
CGNakibe (11:24:58 PM): *siiighs* IM: Gods....
Idran1701 (11:24:59 PM): ...*w*...Wait...Arian, you think...?
CGNakibe (11:25:19 PM): *nods gravely* *w* Its possible...
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:26:18 PM): (Gonna brb for food.)
Idran1701 (11:26:28 PM): *interrupts the quiet discussion* Now, then, we have some time before my mother's arrival. I shall spend it in offering to her. You may occupy yourselves as you wish.
Idran1701 (11:26:29 PM): If you have any desires, my slaves shall tend to them as they have.
Idran1701 (11:26:31 PM): (*nod*)
Idran1701 (11:26:33 PM): (Pause, then. :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:59:09 PM): (Back)
Idran1701 (11:59:18 PM): (We shall resume, then!)
Idran1701 (11:59:21 PM): (You still here, Shaun?)
CGNakibe (12:00:18 AM): (Yeah, I'm here)
Idran1701 (12:01:46 AM): Gena! *she calls to one of the servants leading them out; the one they met after awakening, it appears* If our guests need anything, fulfill their needs.
Idran1701 (12:01:58 AM): ...Yes, mistress. *nods*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:02:29 AM): *Waits for her to be gone*
Idran1701 (12:03:28 AM): *offering a smile dripping with condescension to the four, she walks off gracefully to perform her sacrifices*
CGNakibe (12:04:12 AM): *does as well, although he gives her a polite nod as Circe leaves*

TheWaiChibiAngel (12:04:35 AM): So..
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:04:40 AM): What's with the weasel?
Idran1701 (12:05:32 AM): *standing quietly nearby, hands clasped in front of her, as the others return to the manor*
CGNakibe (12:06:53 AM): Nicolas. -.-
Idran1701 (12:07:16 AM): *watching the creature as it shifts in Lil's hands*
Idran1701 (12:09:17 AM): ...Do you think he's...conscious?
CGNakibe (12:09:31 AM): No idea. *shrugs*
CGNakibe (12:11:24 AM): *adjusts his formal wear* And to think, normally I'd complain of being hot in formal wear.
CGNakibe (12:11:28 AM): 6.6
CGNakibe (12:11:39 AM): *shift shift*
Idran1701 (12:11:42 AM): ...It doesn't look very happy.
CGNakibe (12:12:40 AM): Well, I'm not too happy with IT right now either.... oh, you mean Nicolas.
CGNakibe (12:12:48 AM): I imagine he's not very happy at all, no. 6.6
Idran1701 (12:15:27 AM): ...Must feel pretty strange, I imagine.
Idran1701 (12:15:46 AM): I wonder what it's like...
CGNakibe (12:15:50 AM): I'd imagine so.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:17:15 AM): ..Huh?
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:17:38 AM): Nicolas? *Lemming Raise*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:17:42 AM): *SCRUTINIZE*
Idran1701 (12:18:10 AM): *it looks back at her...there might be some slight sign of recognition from the lemming, but nothing certain*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:19:19 AM): ..Nicolas?
Idran1701 (12:19:42 AM): ...*it does seem to perk up a little at that, something like a dog being called*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:20:39 AM): ..Can you understand?
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:20:41 AM): ..Nod.
Idran1701 (12:22:06 AM): *there's a slight nod from the rodent, though it's slow in coming in response to Lil*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:23:26 AM): Are you okay?
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:23:30 AM): Yes or no.
Idran1701 (12:24:44 AM): *it just stares at her, looking curiously back at her*
CGNakibe (12:24:47 AM): I hope you aren't holding him too tightly. >.>;; I'm sure that would be more than a tad uncomfortable....
Idran1701 (12:25:36 AM): (d20 from Lil and Arian.)
OnlineHost (12:26:22 AM): TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
OnlineHost (12:26:56 AM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
CGNakibe (12:27:08 AM): (Well, ONE of us got the low roll. >:P)
Idran1701 (12:30:10 AM): *the animal looks around, sniffing the air and glancing at the others as it's held up by Lil*
Idran1701 (12:32:59 AM): ...If that is Nicolas...I guess we're a little lucky.
CGNakibe (12:33:17 AM): Lucky. Yay. *does NOT sound convinced*
Idran1701 (12:33:46 AM): ...Lucky that she didn't do it to us, Arian.
CGNakibe (12:34:41 AM): If she continues to not do so, then I will feel moderately more lucky.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:36:00 AM): ..
Idran1701 (12:36:12 AM): *the baying of hounds can be heard in the distance, towards the west, seeming to frighten the little animal more than a bit*
CGNakibe (12:38:18 AM): ... and if I don't miss my guess... the mistress of the house has arrived. <.<;;
Idran1701 (12:40:53 AM): *Gena looks up, a bit nervous herself, though she holds her ground*
Idran1701 (12:41:13 AM): *while Karin and Dafydd just look off in that direction; Dafydd anxiously, Karin somewhat inscrutably*
Idran1701 (12:43:01 AM): *Circe returns from her offering, her tunic slightly blood spattered, grinning at the group* Come, she arrives!
CGNakibe (12:46:17 AM): *tries to cover up the grimace at her blood-spattered form.* Yes, of course. *nods and makes as if to follow Circe when she moves*
CGNakibe (12:46:32 AM): *looks from Karinska to Lilium first, though*
Idran1701 (12:48:36 AM): *Karin tries to keep a staid expression, though Circe's post-sacrificial appearance does seem to have shaken her a bit*
Idran1701 (12:48:49 AM): (Shini, you still around?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:57:12 AM): (No!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:57:16 AM): (I kind of had a brainfart.)
Idran1701 (12:57:31 AM): (Aha. Everything all right?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:57:32 AM): Dafydd..
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:57:40 AM): ..Keep on to him, okay?
Idran1701 (12:57:57 AM): ...All right. *he takes the lemming, holding onto it closely*
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:58:42 AM): Keep him safe, okay?
Idran1701 (12:58:57 AM): *nods* Okay.
Idran1701 (12:59:08 AM): *he starts petting it, trying to calm it down*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:01:14 AM): Good..
CGNakibe (1:01:25 AM): IM: ... lucky she said. She's right, sure... but... *glances at Nicolas*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:01:29 AM): *And..Follows!*
CGNakibe (1:01:32 AM): IM: ... still have to wonder if that'll hold...
CGNakibe (1:01:46 AM): *follows indeed*
Idran1701 (1:02:20 AM): *Karin and Dafydd follow close behind, and their temporary attache trails far in back, looking nervous, yet also a little eager*
Idran1701 (1:02:56 AM): *Around the bend, they see Circe kneeling before a platform where the burnt remains of the sacrifice can still be seen smoldering*
Idran1701 (1:03:59 AM): *And...in the distance, drawing nearer, they can see a figure approaching the manorhouse. Close enough to tell it's humanoid, at least, with a number of dogs swarming about her; a half-dozen at least*
CGNakibe (1:05:09 AM): *holds in a half-sneeze* IM: Damn DAMN DAMN. >.<;;
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:06:41 AM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:06:53 AM): IM: What..
Idran1701 (1:07:19 AM): *As she grows nearer, more details can be seen...she's definitely human, but for her height - eight feet tall at least. Her hair flows behind her as she walks gracefully forward, moving much more rapidly than her pace would suggest*
Idran1701 (1:07:47 AM): *the dogs continue to swarm about her...larger specimens too, them, and Arian can make out that their fur's an odd shade of...red*
Idran1701 (1:08:01 AM): *He can even spy the occasional flame flickering around them...these don't appear to be your normal hunting hounds*
CGNakibe (1:08:41 AM): IM: No question about the breed of THOSE *sniff* Dogs.
Idran1701 (1:10:31 AM): *Gena quickly kneels as she comes near enough to further identify her - one of the better models of humanity either of them has seen. Not beautiful, exactly, but her appearance has a...charm about it.*
Idran1701 (1:12:55 AM): *Her saffron tunic seems to glow in the starlight, and her sandals sparkle gold as she steps. She passes her gaze over each of those present, and they can each feel the look pierce into their beings as it focuses on them.*
CGNakibe (1:13:40 AM): *barely suppresses a sniffle as his sinuses declare war on the rest of him*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:14:12 AM): IM: This is weird..
Idran1701 (1:15:07 AM): *her expression seems to communicate a vague sense of disapproval over all of them - not merely the visiting party, but Gena, and even Circe - but for now, she stands silently, appraising them*
Idran1701 (1:16:20 AM): *speaking with her head bowed* Welcome, my matron, you honor us all with your presence. We thank you for allowing us to exist in your glorious presence, and we offer the flesh of the lamb and the nectar of the bee in gratitude.
Idran1701 (1:18:03 AM): *she speaks, her voice having an echoing quality to it, seeming to resound within each of their mortal shells* ...Hmph. Satisfactory, I suppose. I will not take offense at these meager offerings, my daughter. This time.
Idran1701 (1:19:52 AM): These are the guests you spoke of, those who pay homage to me from their feet rather than their knees? *upset or impressed, none present can tell*
Idran1701 (1:20:52 AM): ...*sounding unsure for the first time since they've met her* Yes, oh wonderous one. The woman who spans the veil, she...wished an audience with you, for her and her compatriots.
CGNakibe (1:20:56 AM): IM: I'm... not sure if she likes us. Damn. I should've thought this through, maybe even studied the customs instead of getting dragged here....
Idran1701 (1:23:48 AM): *looks to Arian pointedly, before passing her gaze over the group as a whole once more* Your thoughts churn...I would suggest you release them, before they boil over and consume you.
CGNakibe (1:25:52 AM): o.o;; *bows his head at that* Yes, m'lady.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:26:10 AM): (;_;)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:26:37 AM): *Bows her head*
Idran1701 (1:26:41 AM): (If something's up, Shini, we could cut here and pick up another day this week. Think that'd be better?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:30:04 AM): (I'm good.)
Idran1701 (1:31:57 AM): *looks to Lilium* You straddle the threshold between the mortal realm and my own. Such beings are largely anathema to me, yet you ask for my help? *again, whether she is taking offense or offering honest curiosity cannot be told*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:32:10 AM): IM: Anawhatnow?
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:32:16 AM): ..Uh..Erm...
Idran1701 (1:33:04 AM): *waits patiently, staring down at Lil*
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:35:20 AM): ..Y..Yes please..
Idran1701 (1:36:39 AM): ...*nods, gesturing behind Lil and the rest of the party* Sit.
Idran1701 (1:37:28 AM): *meanwhile, Dafydd edges a bit closer to Lil, shaking a little while he holds onto Nicolas*
CGNakibe (1:37:59 AM): (Nicolas: *squeaks* *is helpful~!*)
Idran1701 (1:39:42 AM): *should they look, the party can spy ornate chairs sitting in the earth behind them, looking even more well-appointed and comfortable than those within Circe's house had been*
Idran1701 (1:40:11 AM): ...M- You may stand when I say you may stand, my daughter.
CGNakibe (1:40:30 AM): *does sit indeed*.
CGNakibe (1:41:44 AM): IM: Sinuses and panic aside... at least if things go horribly I can say that I've honestly tried some rather comfortable chairs.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:45:53 AM): *Sits!*
Idran1701 (1:46:05 AM): Now...Lilium, I know your tale, despite that which clings to you, cloaking your past, present, and future. You wish to be relieved of the burden of your dual life. Restored to that which you were.
Idran1701 (1:49:20 AM): And thus you come to ask for my wisdom. And yet...you are not often one to call to the higher powers, even those from your own homeland. Is this true?
Idran1701 (1:55:49 AM): (Shini? :O)
CGNakibe (1:56:19 AM): (Hm.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:56:33 AM): (Maybe we should, uh, wrap it up.(
Idran1701 (1:56:42 AM): (*nod* Yeah.)
Idran1701 (1:56:53 AM): (We can just cut here, pick things up later.)
Idran1701 (1:57:47 AM): (All right, 300 experience for tonight for both of you.)
CGNakibe (1:58:31 AM): (So, do you want paper or plastic? e.e)
CGNakibe (1:59:37 AM): (Also, hmm.)
Idran1701 (2:01:24 AM): (Hmm?)
CGNakibe (2:05:32 AM): (Stuff is saved, and sleep is now.)
Idran1701 (2:05:39 AM): (Night, Shaun.)
(2:05:51 AM) CGNakibe has left the room.
