[14:11] [And here, the game doth start-diddly-art.] [14:13] ( *listens to Hanagata's theme song to get IC* =P ) [14:14] Last time we saw Our Heros(more or less), they were staying at Castle Black, the home of Lord Morrolan, an aquaintance of Ada's, as well as being, quite possibly, the poshest place in existence. [14:17] You all spent the last night there, and you were all awakened around noon today, if you weren't already awake. [14:18] Morrolan came around and told you all to get your traveling gear together, and then to meet him in the Library. Which, hopefully, you did. [14:18] *** Yu-Mei is now known as Morrolan [14:18] * Morrolan sits in the library, sipping from a glass of wine. [14:18] (Aaaaand action. :P) [14:19] * Ethan mutters. "No, Celery of Rightousness doesn't have the right ring to it..." [14:19] * Ada eyes Ethan as she shifts her mandolin case. [14:20] * Fyril shifts in his chair, and looks hungrily around at all the books. [14:20] * Sei steps in, carrying a small backpack. [14:20] One of the books looks hungrily back. [14:20] * Ada coughs. [14:20] You summoned us, Lord Morrolan? [14:21] The watchful eyes of the Potatos of Light are upon thee... that has potential... [14:21] * Fyril blinks, and watches that book more closely. [14:22] * Ethan shrugs. "I'll think of something eventually..." [14:24] ( The ears of the Corn of Good are getting bored... =P ) [14:24] (Oy. :P) [14:24] (Oh, hold the Horses of PAtience, already. :P) [14:24] * Fyril hops out of his chair, and goes over to the nearest shelf to skim the titles. [14:25] Yes, I did. Today you will be going to meet a member of the Serioli. Normally, it would be a few day's journey to get back there, but I believe I can be of assistance in reaching your destination, if not in getting back. [14:26] * Ethan bows. "Any assistance would be appreciated, sir." [14:26] * Ada blinks, then smiles. "That's very kind of you." [14:26] * Sei bows. [14:27] Morrolan stands. "Think nothing of it. If you will follow me, please?" [14:27] * Fyril looks over his shoulder, then turns and nods. [14:27] * Ada nods and stands. [14:27] * Sei nods. [14:27] * Ethan follows [14:28] * Fyril eyes the books longingly one more time, then follows in behind. [14:28] * Morrolan leads you out of the library and down a long hallway, then another, and finally to a large, iron door, which he opens. The door creeks melodramatically. [14:30] (I don't brook that sort of misspelling. :P) [14:30] (You do while you're here. When I'm in #HHHsquad you can call me a bad typist if you want. :P) [14:31] (Behind the door is a narrow and poorly-lit spiral staircase. Morrlan begins to ascend it, gesturing for you to follow.) [14:31] * Ada peers up the staircase, then shrugs and follows. [14:31] * Sei follows. [14:31] * Fyril looks around warily, and gestures for Ethan to head up before him. [14:32] * Ethan walkwalks. [14:32] * Fyril nods, and follows the rest of them up, quietly. [14:33] (The stairwell is very long, and some of you might think that you're going up a long way. Others might realise that this doesn't change much since they started a mile up anyway.) [14:33] * Ethan idly munches a cookie. [14:33] (At it's top is another door, which also creaks. On the other side of this door is a room lined with windows. None of you remember seeing any windows from the outside.) [14:34] * Ada blinks. [14:34] ... cool. [14:35] * Ada peers at the windows. [14:35] * Fyril looks around the room, blinking at all the windows. [14:35] * Sei ponders. [14:35] Upon inspection, none of the windows look on anything that looks like he area outside the castle ought to look, nor do any two windows look on the same thing. If you try to count, you come up with twelve, then thirteen, then eleven, and so on. [14:36] +() [14:36] ... I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark here and say there aren't normal windows. [14:36] ( s/there/these ) [14:37] * Morrolan chuckles. "No, they aren't." [14:37] I've never seen so many in one place. [14:38] (He looks around, and approaches a window seemingly at random. Once standing in front of it, he draws his sword, which you all notice immediately, since it fills the back of your head with an eerie, malicious feeling associated with Morganti blades and Great Weapons.) [14:40] * Ada watches Morrolan. [14:40] * Fyril winces, and walks up next to Sei. He whispers, "Does that happen every time he does that?" [14:40] * Ethan eyes the sword. "Geez, now that's power..." [14:40] (He holds his sword in front of the window, and it's dark grey blade glows faintly green. The scene on the window changes, showing a high mountain ridge.) [14:40] * Sei whispers, "Good question." [14:42] * Ada glances at Fyril and Sei. "That's a Great Weapon. I don't think they were designed for hiding their power." [14:42] * Sei smiles. [14:43] * Morrolan steps aside. "Alright. You may proceed through, now." He grins. "Don't worry, there will be no discomfort. It'll feel just like every other time you've used a mysterious window to go meet a member of a half-legendary race." [14:43] * Ada snickers. [14:43] * Fyril glances from Ada to Morrolan and back. "That's a Great Weapon? Wow..." [14:43] *** Ryuuzaki is on IRC [14:43] * Ada bows before Morrolan. "Thank you for your help." [14:43] * Sei bows to Morrolan. "Thank you again, sir." [14:44] * Ethan bows. "Much obliged, sir." [14:45] * Fyril bows. "Yes, and thanks for the hospitality, as well." [14:45] * Morrolan waves dismissively. "It is nothing, Ada. You are always welcome here. Now, off you go!" [14:46] * Fyril blinks. "We just walk through it?" [14:46] * Morrolan nods. "Exactly." [14:46] * Ada grins and walks up to the window. She looks back at Fyril and nods, then steps in. [14:46] Self-defenestration, here we come! *steps through* [14:47] * Sei steps through the window. [14:47] * Fyril shrugs, and steps through gingerly. [14:47] *** Morrolan is now known as YuDaBoss [14:47] You all appear on the same high ridge you saw through the window. There is no sense of transition, and as advertised, no discomfort. [14:48] Up ahead on your right you see a cave, and you catch the barest glimpse of someone ducking inside it. [14:48] On your left is a very long drop. [14:48] So, y'know, you might not wanna go that way. [14:49] * Ada takes a quick look around. [14:49] ... okay, left turn bad. [14:49] On the upside, the scenery all around is quite breathtaking. [14:50] * Ethan idly twirls his glaive. "But what a view..." *whistle* [14:50] * Sei looks around. [14:51] * Ada nods and stretches. [14:51] * Fyril looks back over his shoulder, and then forward towards the cave. "Yeah, it's pretty here. Just not much around." [14:51] Well, there are worse places to live. [14:52] * Ethan munches a slice of pie. "Shall we go into the cave? If this guy can help me figure out what the deal is with my glaive..." [14:53] * Ada nods. "I'm willing, whenever Sei's ready." [14:53] * Sei nods. "Any time." [14:53] So, several days later... wait, hold on. [14:54] * Sei steps towards the cave, bows deeply, and quietly recites something in Serioli. [14:54] The cave does not respond. [14:55] * Fyril steps up next to Sei. "What was that?" [14:55] A Serioli custom. I generally try to fit in. [14:56] * Sei smiles. [14:56] The cave becons, so much as an inanimate lump of rock can. [14:56] * Ada nods and studies the cave. [14:57] Is there any way to get the Serioli out here, or would he not mind us invading his privacy? [14:57] * Ethan gestures towards the cave. "Lead away, o fearless translator." [14:57] The cave looks natural, for the most part. The only sign that it has ever been inhabited is a black stain at it's top where smoke has passed. [14:57] * Sei steps up to the opening, bows slightly, and says something brief. [14:57] * Fyril shakes his head. "You must've studied different books than I did. So, are we going in or what?" [14:58] * Sei smiles, and steps inside. "Yup." [14:59] * Ada follows Sei in, looking around as she does so. [14:59] * Ethan follows. [14:59] * Fyril steps in, looking around appraisingly. [15:00] The cave inside looks like a natural cave, although the floor is a bit too smooth for that. There is someone else standing in there, with her back turned to you; all you see is a head of blonde hair atop a cloak of grey, which those of you familiar with elven society recognize as the color of death. [15:01] * Sei bows, and repeats what he said outside. [15:01] * Ada tilts her head, studying the woman. [15:02] * Fyril looks strangely at the woman, then around the room again, then back at the woman. [15:02] * Nebrinel turns, expecting someone else, and seeing all of you, frowns slightly. She looks about 12 (human years), and seems to have a sword at her side. She is also carrying a covered basket. [15:03] ( Little Grey Riding Hood? ) [15:03] (*snickers*) [15:03] Who are you all? What are you doing here? [15:06] * Fyril glances quickly at Ada, waiting for her to answer. [15:06] * Ada nudges Sei in the side and whispers quickly to him. [15:06] * Sei blinks. [15:06] * Nebrinel lets the frown slip to neutral, although she is still glaring. [15:06] Please excuse us. We're hoping to meet a Serioli who lives here. [15:07] We were hoping to... erm... partake in his wisdom, I suppose. [15:08] * Nebrinel eyes all of you, then waves her hand. "Doesn't look like he's here, does it?" [15:08] (Descs would probably help slightly. ^^;) [15:08] (Yeah. C'mon, people. :P) [15:08] (Oh, hush. ^_^) [15:09] *** Ryuuzaki has left IRC [15:09] ( Ethan is a tall, skinny guy with brown hair, brown eyes, and a goatee. He's wearing a suit of finely crafted studded leather armor, and carrying a glaive and a backpack. ) [15:09] (Sei is very short for an elf, with light brown hair. He looks to be in his early 20s, in human years.) [15:09] (*cough* Might wanna mention if you're human or elven, too.) [15:10] * Fyril nods wearily, and peers at the woman questioningly. [15:10] (I'd also note that Nebrinel is an elf, and 6'2", since those details hadn't quite been offered.) [15:10] ( Human, also. =P ) [15:11] Mind rolls, all around, with any smell-related sensory bonuses that might apply. [15:11] 2d6 [15:11] ( Whoops, no Dicesuke. =P ) [15:11] (Need dicebot. :P) [15:11] (Fyril's a young elf, only a little over 100, and 5'6". Short and softly spike black hair, green eyes. Blue soft leather shirt, tied mostly shut, black beaten leather pants, and a satchel of stuff.) [15:12] (How d'you do that again? ^^;) [15:12] (Right. ^^;) [15:12] ( We have to wait for the Dicebot first. The roll 2d6. ) [15:12] (Uhm. Dicesuke isn't here, it seems. As in, not on the server.) [15:13] ( Daisuke? ) [15:13] (Calc, can you bring in Dai? He'd be the next best thing.) [15:13] (Uh. @_@) [15:13] (Not really. ^_^;;) [15:13] (Ada's a human who looks to be in her late teens. She's about average height, with deep red hair and dark eyes. She wears predominantly black: cloak, boots, and pants; but her shirt is scarlet. There's a rapier at her side, and she carries a couple instrument cases.) [15:13] (No dicebot? ;_;) [15:14] (...okay, forget it. ^^;) [15:14] (Right, and Fyril has a short sword, too. ^^;) [15:14] (Just notified ND. One moment. ^_^) [15:14] (Waiful.) [15:15] *** Dicesuke has joined #YeOldeChibiRPG [15:15] (Oh, and for the elves in the crowd, She looks about 116, or so. I think that covers it. ^^;) [15:15] ( Here I come, to save the day!!! ) [15:15] Okay. NOW make mind rolls. ^_^ [15:15] 2d6-4 [15:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sei (2d6-4) and gets 8, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "God hates you, and so do I." [15:15] (Wai! MightyDice!) [15:15] (...) [15:15] (Roll again, Calc.) [15:15] 2d6-4 [15:15] 2d6 [15:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sei (2d6-4) and gets 6. [15:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ada (2d6) and gets 4. [15:15] *** Ethan has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) [15:15] 2d6 [15:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Nebrinel (2d6) and gets 10. [15:16] ([...]) [15:16] ( Oro? What'd I do? ) [15:16] *** Ethan has joined #yeoldechibirpg [15:16] 2d6 [15:16] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fyril (2d6) and gets 10. [15:16] ( Re. x_x ) [15:16] 2d6 [15:16] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ethan (2d6) and gets 7. [15:17] *** YuDaBoss sets mode: +v Ethan [15:17] *** YuDaBoss sets mode: +v Dicesuke [15:17] Those of you that made it realise that you smell brimstone. [15:17] * Ada sniffs the air and frowns. [15:17] * Sei blinks. [15:18] ( o/" I knwo nothing... o/" ) [15:18] (And the staredown continues. ^_^) [15:18] (I don't wanna be unobservant! ^^;) [15:19] (::points and laughs at Fyril::) [15:19] He's not in? Do you know where he went? [15:19] (;_;) [15:20] * Nebrinel taps her foot. "If I did, I'd already be there." [15:20] Ah, okay, you're looking for him too. Sorry. [15:20] * Ada sighs. "Wonderful." She sniffs the air again. [15:21] At that moment, a three-foot figure walks out from a corner in the back of the cave that blended perfectly with the wall behind it. He has no hair at all, that you can see, and appears to be clothed entirely in dozens of layers of silk scarves that cover his body. [15:21] Hmm? [15:21] *** Brett has joined #yeoldechibirpg [15:21] * Ada blinks at the figure. [15:21] (Hola Brett. ^_^) [15:21] * Sei bows. [15:21] ( Hewwo. Are spectators allowed? ) [15:21] (Yes, but no coaching from the peanut gallery. ^_~) [15:22] (I think so. :P) [15:22] ( Kay-o ) [15:22] His face bunches up as he looks at all of you, and a short string of syllables full of clicking and digestive trouble pour out of his mouth. [15:22] * Ethan looks at Sei. "Is that...?" [15:23] * Fyril looks over at him somewhat distastefully. [15:23] * Sei nods, bows again, and speaks likewise. [15:23] * Nebrinel notices the changes in look, and turns. [15:23] He looks at Nebrinel, and you think you can see him smile. He speaks some more. [15:23] * Sei rummages in his backpack. [15:24] The being waves his hand dismissively and says "It is no intrustion," in heavily accented Elnofex. [15:24] * Nebrinel bows as well. "Aah, so you do speak Elnofex. I was fearing I heard wrong." [15:24] * Fyril wrinkles his nose, and relaxes slightly. [15:25] The being motions towards the floor with an open palm. "Please, have a seat, all of you." [15:25] * Ethan sits, glaive on lap. [15:25] * Sei bows again and sits down. [15:26] * Ada nods slowly and unslings her instruments, laying them gently on the floor before she sits. [15:26] *** YuDaBoss is now known as H [15:26] Back. [15:26] Bah, even. [15:26] *** H is now known as H`w`dfrhjaanzki [15:26] ( H-chan! Wai! =P ) [15:26] (There we go.) [15:26] * Fyril sets his satchel unceremoniously down, sits, and looks from the girl to the weird old guy. [15:27] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki looks around at the motley bunch here assembled. [15:27] "You come bringing food. And questions too, I'd assume?" [15:27] * Nebrinel drops into a crosslegged position, her sword onto her lap. She hands Hchy her basket. "I certaintly come to you with a question." [15:28] * Ethan idly slices at a roast turkey. "Food?" [15:28] * Ada notices the turkey and nearly facepalms. [15:28] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki takes the basket and opens it, nodding in approval at the contents. He walks back around the corner, and returns with wooden goblets for everyone. [15:29] * Sei whispers to Ethan. [15:29] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki suddenly notices the turkey and his face bunches up in a smile. [15:30] * Ethan blinks at the turkey, then shrugs. "Turkey, sir?" [15:30] * Fyril shakes his head wearily, and mutters something about never getting to cook anymore. [15:30] "Please, yes. Good meat is hard to come by up here, naturally." [15:30] * Ethan lifts up the turkey (mysteriously on a platter), and hands it to the man. [15:31] * Nebrinel frowns to herself. [15:32] The man eats some of the turkey, some of the breat that Nebrinel brought, and pours some of the sine she brought into each of the goblets, passing them around. [15:32] (bread and wine, actually. ^^;) [15:32] (Bread, fine. Excuse the typo. ;P) [15:33] (and wine. Damn, I'm on fire today!) [15:33] * Ada takes her goblet and smiles at the Serioli, then Nebrinel. "Thank you." [15:33] * Nebrinel accepts the goblet, nodding her head in a slight bow. [15:33] * Sei takes his and bows. [15:33] * Ethan takes the goblet. "Thanks." [15:33] *** Fyril has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [15:34] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki finishes eating after a minute or two, and wipes his hands against each other. "Now, the questions." [15:34] ( And Fyril, apparently, has an alcohol Phobia. =P ) [15:34] * Ethan turns to Nebrinel. "You were here first." [15:35] (Pause.) [15:36] *** Fyril has joined #yeoldechibirpg [15:36] (...whee! Re. ^^;) [15:36] *** H`w`dfrhjaanzki sets mode: +v Fyril [15:37] ( Updated Cap already ) [15:37] * Nebrinel smiles slightly at Ethan, before turning back to Hchy and holding her sword forward. "I am curious as to this, H'w'dfrhjaanzki. It's true name, its true power, how far it is from completion, and where I can find its pieces." [15:37] (Alright.) [15:37] (Unpause.) [15:38] * Fyril sloshes his wine around, sniffs it, and sips daintily as he watches. [15:38] * Sei sips very slowly. [15:39] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki takes the weapon, and unsheathes it partway, scrutinizing it. He works his jaw a bit. [15:40] * Fyril eyes the weapon from his seat, and sips a bit more. [15:40] * Ada studies the wine, then takes a small sip as she watches. [15:41] * Ethan looks at the weapon. "Nice craftsmanship..." [15:41] (Upon being unsheathed, you get the same feeling that Morrolan's weapon brought, although it seems different on some subtle level.) [15:42] "I would say this might be" here he speaks another stream of syllables, ", but the lady in the black hill already has that. [15:42] "It feels agressive enough, at any rate." [15:43] * Sei blinks. [15:43] * Ada starts slightly. [15:43] * Fyril winces, nods absentmindedly, and looks very hard at the sword. [15:43] * Nebrinel chuckles. "Agressive is a start." She frowns. "And by lady in the black hill, is that Xivilai?" [15:44] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki nods. "That is what she calls herself, yes." [15:44] * Nebrinel 's frown becomes more pronounced, but she doesn't say anything more. [15:45] * Ada takes another sip of wine, peering at the sword. [15:45] He scrutinizes it a bit more. "This could be" and another string of words that only Sei understands. [15:46] * Fyril looks away from the sword reluctantly to Sei. "What's he saying?" [15:46] * Sei looks worried. "In short...very, very powerful." [15:47] * Nebrinel doesn't lose her frown at Hchy's speech, but switches to a grin at Sei's. [15:48] I'd translate it as..."dark plague stored within a sword." [15:48] Well that's reassuring. [15:48] * Fyril eyes the sword again. "It sounds wonderful. [15:49] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki seems to consider that for a moment. "It might be more apt to say 'held as part of', since that is modified by the final 'tsu'. But that is close enough." [15:49] Ah, thank you. [15:49] * Ada nods slowly as she glances from the Nebrinel to the Serioli. [15:50] * Sei extracts a notebook from his backpack and writes a quick note. [15:50] * Nebrinel holds her smile. "Doesn't it?" She looks at Hchy. "Do you have any idea where I might find its pieces?" [15:50] "As for what it needs to be completed, there is likely some form of adornment that has been replaced on it. Perhaps a new pommel. Or this exceptionally deep blood-groove could serve to contain something. [15:51] "I do not know where to find them, however. I apologize." [15:52] * Nebrinel curses, and then sighs. "I suppose that's more than I had before. Is there any general way to find them, or am I stuck doing what I have for the past 300 years?" [15:53] * Fyril blinks and looks at the grey-clad girl curiously. [15:53] * Sei blinks. [15:53] * Ada blinks. "Three hundred years?" She twists a crystal pendant with her free hand. [15:53] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki considers. "Often powerful elfs will find and collect pieces of them, no doubt with the same intentions as yourself. Perhaps someone will have the right piece." [15:54] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki looks around, and faces Ada. "Would you be next?" [15:54] * Nebrinel sighs to herself. "I sadly expected as much." [15:55] * Ada shakes her head. "No, that would be Ethan." She motions to him with her goblet. [15:55] Actually, sir, I am the one with the question. [15:55] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki nods. "Very well." [15:56] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki hands Nebrinel's weapon back carefully. [15:56] * Ethan holds up his glaive. "I've recently discovered that this weapon is magical, but nobody who's examined it has really been able to tell me anything about it. All I can figure out is that it's extremely well crafted... and it somehow allows me to summon food." [15:56] (You all begin to notice that it's rather warm inside the cave.) [15:56] * Nebrinel sets her weapon back on her lap, and stares at it sadly. [15:56] We were told that you might be able to tell me more about the weapon... *holds it out* [15:58] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki takes Ethan's weapon and examines it. A tropical fruit of some sort falls at his side, and he reguards this curiously. [15:58] (Well, shit. I'm a little distracted here. One sec.) [15:59] (And don't stop on my account. :P) [15:59] (::sweatdrops::) [16:00] * Fyril looks away from the gray clad girl at the sound of fruit impact. "So it's not just him?" [16:01] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki grins. "What you have here is" (words). [16:01] Er...Sei? [16:01] * Ethan blinks [16:01] "Bringer of intriguing food to the bleak valley." [16:01] * Ethan facefaults. [16:02] * Nebrinel looks up. "What the hell kind of weapon is that?" [16:02] Wonderful. She gets the black plague, I get the restaurant. [16:02] * Fyril blinks, and laughs heartily. "But it suits you!" [16:02] ... well, I can't really argue with that. [16:03] Ethan, bringer of intrigueing food to the bleak valley... has a nice sound to it, ne? [16:04] * Ada laughs, and some of the tension drains from her face. "It's better than the carrots of doom." [16:04] * Fyril rolls his eyes. "Sure, if you're trying to lull your enemies to weakness through fits of laughter." [16:04] * Ethan turns back to H`w`dfrhjaanzki. "Can you tell me anything else? Does it do anything besides act as a snack provider." [16:04] Actually, that's a very good tactic. [16:05] * Ethan grins at Fyril. "Laughter is the best medicine, and the most potent weapon in the world." [16:05] ... and trust me. I [16:05] * Nebrinel snorts at that. [16:05] 've hears some very, VERY deadly laughs. *shudder* [16:05] (The temperature continues to increase. Those of you wearing cloaks are growing uncomfortable.) [16:06] * Ethan tugs at his collar. "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" [16:06] * Ada fidgets and glances around. "It's not just you. [16:06] It is. [16:06] * Fyril sighs. "I'll stick with my other skills. And it is hot." [16:07] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki thinks. "It, too, is incomplete. I cannot recall what is missing, but it is most likely some aspect of the blade, since this does not give the feel of a Morganti weapon." [16:07] "Oh, it grows warm here in the afternoon. My apologies. You may with to take of your cloaks." [16:08] * Ada winces. [16:08] * Fyril shrugs, and loosens the ties on his shirt. [16:08] * Ethan nods. "So I have to find the other pieces if I want to figure out what this thing really does..." [16:09] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki nods. "Yes. I doubt you will have much trouble with that, however; the pieces should be fairly obvious, with this weapon." [16:09] * Sei grins. [16:09] * Ethan wipes his brow and grins slightly. "I'll be okay. Wouldn't be much of a soldier if a little heat got me to get me to take off my armor..." [16:09] ... I'm not following you. [16:10] * Nebrinel frowns to herself, and slips the cloak off her back. The rest of her outfit is an upper support wrap and a lower pair of shorts. [16:10] * Ada fidgets a bit more and scowls. She looks at the various members of the group. [16:10] (http://www.mythicdesigns.net/xenabard20/pics/gab4.jpg is the best example I can find. ^^;) [16:10] How will they be obvious? [16:11] ( Heh heh... ) [16:11] Let me put it this way. If we stumble upon a restaurant that serves great food at incredibly low prices, and seems to be making a profit... [16:11] (*snerk*) [16:11] "Well, it shouldn't be hard to find soul- eating kitchen utensils." [16:11] * Fyril laughs at Sei, and looks back at the new girl briefly. [16:12] * Ada wipes at her forehead, then curses under her breath. She fumbles at her cloak, removing it. [16:13] ... ah, okay. [16:13] So all we need to do is look for a feared and powerful warrior wielding a spork. Got it. [16:13] * Nebrinel frowns at Ada with renewed frowning fervor. [16:13] * Sei blinks and glances at Ada. [16:14] * Ada looks evenly at Nebrinel. [16:14] * Fyril looks at Ada's arms reflexively, and winces slightly. [16:15] * Ethan blinks, and looks at everyone staring at Ada. "What's with all the staring?" [16:16] I'm not sure. [16:17] * Ada glances at Ethan. "The mark on my sleeve." [16:17] * Nebrinel frowns, and almost spits. "Xivilai." [16:17] * Sei blinks. [16:17] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki looks around, and shrugs. "It would appear that the rest of you have something to speak about. I have a question I'd desire to ask after that, however." [16:18] * Ethan looks, and shrugs. "What's the big deal? Lotsa people I know have tattoos representing the commander they serve under." [16:18] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki has some more turkey. n.n [16:18] * Sei blinks again. [16:19] * Ethan takes his glaive back (if H'w'... is done with it) [16:19] (Sure.) [16:20] * Ada smiles slightly, and it holds no humor. "She's rather well known, Ethan. And not particularly loved. Haven't be gone over this already?" [16:21] * Nebrinel just holds her frown. "And my problem with Xivilai is not truly your concern." [16:21] * Ethan shrugs. "Yeah, we have. And I don't see how that reflects on you. Just 'cause you work for someone doesn't mean you're like 'em." [16:21] I mean, heck, I work for you, and I'm nowhere near as angsty and brooding as you are. ^_^ [16:22] And she's more than a commander. She's also picky about who she employs. *eyes fixed on insignia* [16:22] * Ada smirks at Nebrinel. "Frankly, I don't care. You can storm over to Black Peak and try to kill her if you like. I won't stop you." [16:23] * Nebrinel growls. "If I wasn't at least two thousands years her junior, without a great weapon to my name, I'd try it." [16:23] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki has some more wine. [16:23] * Fyril stares at the girl wide-eyed. [16:24] * Ada laughs softly at that. "You would, wouldn't you?" She twirls her pendant with her left hand. [16:24] * Nebrinel frowns at the pendant, and snorts. "You act as if you know who I am, or what my life is for." [16:25] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki watches the pendant. [16:25] ( You're Batman. Your life is dedicated to fighting crime. ) [16:26] (*snerk*) [16:26] * Ada shrugs. "My apologies, then." [16:27] * Ethan munches on a cookie, and offers one to the others. "Let chill everyone. Relax. Revel in the chocolaty goodness." [16:28] Ooh, chocolate. Thanks. [16:28] * Nebrinel hmphs, but seems somewhat mollified. "Well, then. Your question, H'w'dfrhjaanzki?" [16:28] *** Capdfox has joined #yeoldechibirpg [16:29] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki grins. "I'll have one of those, if you can spare it. And my question was about the pendant that the young lady of the old people wears." [16:29] (...sigh. Well. ^^;) [16:29] (He gestures to Ada as he says this.) [16:29] *** H`w`dfrhjaanzki sets mode: +v Capdfox [16:29] * Ada blinks in surprise. "Old people?" [16:29] * Ethan hands the man a cookie as he munches on a carrot. "Of course, sir." [16:30] *** Fyril has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [16:30] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki works his jaw and takes a bite of cookie before saying something in hsi own language. [16:30] *** Capdfox is now known as Fyril [16:31] * Sei blinks. "The people from the tiny, invisible lights?" [16:31] * Nebrinel chuckles. "You act as if we don't live thousands of years more than humans... what?" [16:31] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki nods. "That is close enough." [16:31] * Ada frowns slightly. [16:31] Stars? [16:32] What was in those cookies, Ethan? [16:33] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki shakes his head. "Not stars. Close to them, however." He waves his hand dismissively. "But that's unimportant. You could learn all about that from your lady. I am interested in the pendant around your neck." [16:33] ... not sure, actually. Think they were chocolate chip. [16:33] * Ada looks down at the pendant and untwirls it. "This thing? I've had it for about as long as I can remember." [16:33] "May I see it?" [16:34] * Ada tightens her grip on the pendant, then forces herself to relax and nods. She removes it from around her neck and hands it to the Serioli. [16:35] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki takes the pendant and scrutinizes it. [16:36] (The links on the pendant are fairly large for a necklace. The crystal itself is fairly large, and a deep blue.) [16:37] * Fyril eyes the pendant, and sighs softly. [16:37] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki takes the crystal off, and examines it. "This... may be something, but I doubt it very much." He looks at the chain. "this, however..." [16:37] * Ada presses her hands together as she watches. [16:38] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki stands and walks over to the back wall, which he smacks with the chain of the pendant. The right half of the wall seems to waver for a moment, then disappears, showing a halway. [16:38] * Ada stares. [16:39] * Ethan looks back and forth between the pendant, Ada, and his glaive. [16:39] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki turns back around, his face bunched up in a smile. "This is something." [16:39] ... holy crap. [16:39] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki says words. Yay. [16:39] Wow. That's some jewelry. *wide eyes* [16:40] * Ethan bounces a banana off Fyril's head. "No funny ideas now." =P [16:40] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki puts the pendant back together and hands it to Ada. [16:40] * Fyril glares at Ethan. "I already said I wouldn't!" [16:41] * Ada takes it and eyes the pendant and chain, ignoring the arguing boys. [16:41] Juuuuuuuuust checking... o/" [16:41] A chain good for disrupting the flow of energies from...the river's source of power to it's mouth? [16:41] * Nebrinel looks at the chain with... one would describe, almost a longing. [16:42] * Fyril throws the banana back. "Trust me, will you?" [16:42] * Ada squeezes the chain lightly. "The river's source of power to its mouth?" [16:42] * Ethan catches it, peels, and munches. "Someone can't take a joke." ^_^ [16:42] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki shakes his head. "The river of power. The chain can disrupt it's flow, thereby disrupting certain spells." [16:42] A metaphor...hmm. [16:43] * Ada looks up at the Serioli. "Ah. Which spells would these be?" [16:44] "Any spell that is built on what you could consider 'conventional' sorcery, with an Orb as the source of it's flow, may be disrupted. Anything else might be a gamble." [16:45] * Fyril perks his ears, and turns to look at the other conversation. [16:45] The chain stops magic, hmm... pretty nifty. [16:45] Nifty...yes. [16:46] "What's more, I believe this might be a part of something." [16:46] Helluva lot more useful than if it, say, summoned pastries. *grumblegrumble* [16:46] (I dunno, Ethan. You have the power of cheese at your beck and call.) [16:46] * Ada continues studying it and says absently, "You wouldn't say that if you were starving." [16:46] (And the power...of JUICE! XD) [16:46] (JUICE! XD) [16:47] Do you have any idea as to what that something could be? [16:47] ( Yeah, well, when you let me create a 100 point cheese based weapon attack, then we'll talk. ^_^ ) [16:47] (JUICE! XD) [16:48] (Urk. Need to wrap this up. You all notice that it's still getting warmer in here.) [16:48] ( BREE BEAMUUUUUUU! ) [16:49] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki thinks about that. "There was, and will be, a weapon called," (words), " which will lead the correct person to" (words). [16:49] * Ethan fans himself with a piece of matzoh. "Okay, bit warm... think cool thoughts... cool thoughts... ooohm..." [16:49] * Sei wipes his brow. "That's quite some heating." [16:49] * Ada wipes at her forehead again and puts the pendant back on. [16:50] * Fyril opens his shirt a bit more, and looks towards the hallway. [16:50] * Nebrinel is awfully glad she doesn't wear too much more than the cloak. Whew. [16:50] * Ada looks over at Sei. "What did he say?" [16:50] * Sei ponders. "A weapon called 'sword that looks for the true path'...which will lead the correct person to...'destroyer of parts of gods'?" [16:51] * Sei scratches his head. "Is that close?" [16:51] * Ada smiles slightly. "Another Great Weapon? Odd." [16:51] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki shakes his head. "Gruh... 'parts of godhood' would be closer, perhaps." [16:53] * Ada nods. [16:53] "It is difficult to explain. And since it grows warmer, I must bid you all farewell. I have had guests fall unconscious on me before, and it was not pleasant." [16:53] * Ada chuckles. [16:53] All right. Thank you for your help. [16:53] * Sei bows. "Thank you very much for your help." [16:54] * Ada stands and gathers her instruments and cloak. [16:54] * H`w`dfrhjaanzki waves dismissively. "It was nothing. And you brought very good food." [16:54] * Sei picks up his backpack. [16:54] * Nebrinel stands with her cloak, and bows once. [16:54] * Fyril picks up his satchel, and nods. [16:54] * Ethan stands up. "Thanks for the information, sir." [16:54] * Ada bows before the Serioli. [16:55] (gurgle. I'm going to have to stop for now. We can pick this up sometime later. ^.^) [16:55] (Okay. ^_^) [16:55] (Okie. ^^) [16:55] [End Session.]
