Session Start: Fri Jul 30 19:47:54 2004
Session Ident: #terranotos
* Now talking in #terranotos
* Topic is 'The official chatroom for the Terranotos Campaign | http://www.geocities.com/elemental_knight1/terranotos/ | Current Status: Everyone's at a Crossroads. | Session 2 = PCs almost die! Session 3 = This Friday at 11 PM. We're gonan try it this time, and my friends aren't getting in the way. So HAH!'
* Set by ElementalKnight on Mon Jul 26 00:21:45
* ChanServ sets mode: +o ElementalKnight
T - three.
* ElementalKnight casts ¤Haste on himself!
* ElementalKnight is now Frantically Preparing (4).
So each tick lasts 45 minutes now?
* ElementalKnight notes that rarely, if ever, does a session start when it should. So each tick = whatever it has t oequal to make it work out.
...The ice cream man just passed by. His tune's a little off. That, plus the gloom, equals creepy.
Listen up for "dodododododo" music.
If you hear that, RUN
Indeed.
...I miss ice cream men
I never seem to see them anymore.
I don't. But that's because the troll the neighborhoods every night around here.
Heh
They're like sharks in blood-spoiled waters.
Fun
* Kulvier has joined #terranotos
* ElementalKnight blinks. By god, he exsts!
Yup.
I got off work today. :D
I literally booted my Uncle in the ass to get it too. >:)
Err... Nice to meet you. :)
I thought you were just an urban legend, like the crocodile in the sewers with the hook-for-a-hand who picks up hitchikers and eats the on the side of the road!
* ElementalKnight makes a note to write that legend up and tell it to some kids.
*grins
Lol. Well, Mory dun lie.
But beyond my sillines at the moment, it's nice to meet you/confirm your existance.
\m/ ^_^
Good to be confirmed as part of a living world.
So, have you gotten the time to read the logs or do you want us to give you a recap of what you've missed?
* ElementalKnight has to wash his glasses, BRB.
Though...I find myself feeling very much like Seane from Tenchi Muyo GXP.
* ElementalKnight is back.
I have no idea of what you speak of but I will nod sagely.
* ElementalKnight only watched the first few Tenchi series, when they were on Cartoon Network.
Lol. You never saw the new Tenchi Muyo series?
Nope...
Lol. You two gotta see the new one. It's utterly hilarious.
Eh. Anime's an expensive habit, either on time, money, or both
^_^ Heh. But SO worth it.
* ElementalKnight just joined an anime club; costs way less and you see most of the good stuff.
So...Mory has informed me that I need to lvl up my char
*nod*
I can't access any web-browsers.
Mine are currupted.
...Hmm. That might be a problem
THus, I can't check my status sheet.
Anyone have Yahoo IM? And could kindly upload my Netscape's EXE
Hm...
If you need your original sheet, I've got it.
Beyond that, the only change is that you should level up to Level 2 if you want to stay on par with everyone else... Though wether you should, game-wise, is a debate for another time. >.>
^_^;
(Total XP: 907)
Don't get smart with me. I tore out my shoulder dealing with morronic children all week.
:P
Ah... Uh, noted.
Sounds painful... What exactly did you do to it?
...God I hate this carnival.
When's it end?
Oh, I was trying to keep a 300 lbs piece of ride from crushing a child.
...Idiots...every last one of them. They pull on the 'shiny metal pins'.
Ah, that. Happens to everyone.
*Eyebrow twitch* ...Not likely...
Not keepg a three-hundred-pound piece of carnival ride off of a child, just hurting one's self in keeping a stupid kid out of danger.
*keeping
Ah. Yes. Agreed
Uhhh...so...what rolls do I need to make to update my char?
Hmm.
HP, MP... And that hsould be it.
*should.
* ElementalKnight = tpyos.
+10 skill points. +6 points for Lores and Languages. +1/2 VIT + d10 HP, +1/2 SPR + d6 MP. +1 stat points.
What about my stat point allocation?
That should be everything
Errr...skill point allocation
See above
I need my Vit mod to my roll.
...I don't have my stat sheet to refer too.
No web-browser, remember?
...Oh.
Hmm.
Ah, yeah, One sec.
HP Die: d10
MP Die: d6
k
I know the dice necissary
!roll 1d10
Mory drilled it into my skull
Typhoon - 1d10: 4 ( Total: 4 )
Ah. Lacking your VIT/SPR score, then?
Do that command and Highwind will roll dice for you
Can you DCC him the sheet, EK?
That'd save time
Incoming
I'm sending the original Lv. 1 sheet, FYI...
!roll d10+5
Kulvier - d10+5: 6 ( Total: 11 )
!roll d6+4
Kulvier - d6+4: 1 ( Total: 5 )
Ok. Those are my HP/MP rolls.
Don't I have skill points to spend?
Yep. Highwind continues his classic "Screw everyone" mentality.
I'm gonna add to my cooking and poaching. ^_^; Might as well be useful.
* ElementalKnight thinks back to the end of Session 2 and laughs.
+10 skill points. +6 points for Lores and Languages. +1/2 VIT + d10 HP, +1/2 SPR + d6 MP. +1 stat points.
Gesundheit.
Is that german?
I get a stat point?
Yeah; means "god health to you".
*good
Yes
On all level ups, you get 1 stat point
Heh. That point be goin to STR.
As in, you can increase VIT, or STR, or SPR, or whatever...
He learns...
Get some speed, boy. >.>
Never. i'm the bruiser, not the speed demon.
I'm an 'Auron', not a 'Cid'
And yet Estrain does more damage. Ha. >.>
* ElementalKnight also notes that Estrain has gotten his ass kicked more.
That's not fair. He's only done plot battles
* ElementalKnight tries very hard to not do the standard Random Enounter. If he had his way, they'd all be plot(ish) battles, at the least.
That's why the group HIRED the Drk. Cause he's a war machine.
* ElementalKnight also notes that he doesn't have any combat planned for tonight, unless someone decides to pummel the bartender or something.
Yeah, true
>:)
Eventually, dual-wielding loses it's punch
Heh heh heh
And d6 weapons aren't as good then, so
*Thinks about a bar-fight*
Unless you get some nice statii to toss around.
But I get attack reels! >.>
Yeah? I get evil attacks. >:)
* ElementalKnight notes that Raza gets to call Bahamut. He thinks she wins.
I can potentially do 6 150% damage attacks.
You can't win against that, people
(That requires three critical hits in a row, I know. Quiet.)
* ElementalKnight notes that the Mailmoogle can start a letter-writing campaign to bring about a third season of Star Tre- wait...
:D Sure I can. I just need to hit you and break you concentration on casting.
...If that rule is in application
I just wing it. If it sounds good, I go with it.
If it doesn't, I go with it anyway and get yelled at.
Attack Reels requires no casting time, fool. :)
Just toss up a coin, pull the reels, and try your luck
But I am NEVER doing Attack Reels on a Jinx turn. *shudder*
On a Jinx turn your best bet is to Defend and hope someone else gets hit with, uh, everything.
*Smirks* I'm betting you screwed up befor.
Oh yes.
RK made Elemental Reels heal a boss. -.-
Element Reels on a Jinx turn on a boss with A: water.
*EK
And, i'm betting all the 'hurt' went to you.
Mind, this was the boss he gave a Level 2 spell to.
All the hurt went to him anyhow; Raza and Seph's character died.
Water OKHOed two characters
^_^' yeah, probably should have toned that one down a bit.
*Snickers* See? But the Drk survived. >:)
You KNOW you were laughing the entire time you did that.
* ElementalKnight goes for a weak enemy, they die in one hit. He goes for a stong enemy, they kill in one hit. It's a neverending cycle.
No, you were fighting Somewhere Over There.
Indeed.
You did NOTHING. :)
Well, neither did Jack, Mitzu and Alan. But that's oky; they're NPCs.
Accursed useless NPCs.
^_^ Sure I did. I was slaving my ass off at a Carnival for minimum wage
Chewing popcorn and laughing at us while we struggled for our LIVES
* ElementalKnight should write up a sheet or three for 'em so they aren't completely worthless.
* ElementalKnight notes that he had no popcorn at the time. Water, yes.
Ok. I updated my char sheet
Awesome; DCC it this way.
(right-click on a person's name, go to DCC, Send, find the file and send it.)
Accepting...
Connection failed.
I hte it when it does this.
*hate
*Cocks an eyebrow* ...Fraggin' comp.
Hmm.
Try sending it to me
Retrying.
Nah, I think it's me. I'unno why, but it happens a lot... Accepting.
If it doesn't work this time, anyway
Indeed; if this dosn't work, send it to Typhoon and we'll work around it.
Connection failed.
^_^; Try both of you.
Accept.
...
And failure.
Did you get it?
Nope
DAMMIT!!!
It never even started
Grrrrr
Geebus...
*Gnaws on his comp tower*
Hmm.
Icky.
Do you have any sort of external e-mail service?
Yahell...
One that doesn't require you launching your internet browser?
But my web-server is currupted.
Ironc...I can get into my IM program, but not my browser
Hmm.
Do you have any other IM things other than Yahoo?
I can try to post it all here. Bit by bit... e_e
Nope
My sister removed AIM.
Well, damn.
Unless it's in your recycling bin, we're got problems...
Hmm. Does Moryssa have Yahoo IM?
^_~; Mory's got Yahell...
Yup.
Good.
I'll have to wait til she graces her butt here
We'll have to wait until she comes, then
Well, we would anyhow.
*Watching Tenchi Muyo GXP in the mean-time*
So, yeah... T- 80.
T-80?
(t - 80) = Time for the game, eighty minutes from now.
t + X = time for the game was X minutes ago.
...Dammit...Mory's right. i'm curious about anything I hear and doing understand.
doing=dont'
Noted.
I'm the same way
And it's more of a good thing than a flaw, really.
...Yes, but i'm a Taurus. I'm morronicly drawn to it, like a moth to fire.
It just means you don't look stupid when you assume you know and don't
^_^ True, but I instead look stupid while prodding for the answer
Which won't exactly get you killed in most situations. :)
>.>
We can arrange that!
^_^
:D I seem to be resilient to death.
Because I never threw your arse in combat.
Getting shot, stabbed, run over, and hit hasn't taken my ass out yet. :D
And I probably won't tonight, either...
Ah, those.
Did they happen all at once?
No. I'm not Rasputin.
Thankfully...
I practice swordsmanship. I pull idiotic mistakes and get careless in spars.
Getting shot? ...Ehhh...very very heated fight.
Hit: ...Car single me out god dammit!
Run-over: ...UPS and me have isues to work outy.
*eye twitch* ...My grammer blows tonight
Geez. I've run into walls, fallen down long, long flights of stairs, broken my arm and nose, and you make me feel like I've gotten off lucky
^_^ I'm not going into my bones...
LOl
I'm a walking accident report waiting to happen.
Broken arms are excellent for climbing trees, though! >.>
You use the cast like a hook, see
If you ever do see Tenchi Muyo GXP and know me, you'll swear to God i'm just like the main character
If it's the same Tenchi as always, I think I've got you beat there...
No. This guy is 'Bad-Luck' incarnate
Tenchi makes a camio. It's not even Tenchi. It's a friend of his Seina.
*blink*
Then... Why do they call it Tenchi Muyo?
Oh. Bad luck. If Highwind is luck-based, then Bad is my middle name (my last is Luck. Really.)
^_^ Then that would make me a 'Humanoid Typhoon'.
Heh.
...I don't think I'd be terribly surprised to wake up to find I've literally become an Okami.
You'd be very unhappy afterwards, though
Mostly because you'd attract furry attention >.>
Not really...I have the 'pack mentality' as is.
Plus i'm a loner and I get very aggitated easily. :D Furr-fans wouldn't piss me off too bad. ...As long as they keep me out Yiff-based stuff...
I'm guessing Mory didn't warn you that I was a tad...odd.
Not really, that I ccan recall.
Odd isn't a problem.
Being bothered takes too much effort.
^_^; You'll get used to me. Or suffer a psychotic episode.
* ElementalKnight votes both!
Which ever comes first
*Grants Elemental an episode* O.o;
* ElementalKnight does absolutely nothing odd or different.
*Grins widely and wishes he had Seani's bad-luck* Heh heh heh...I'd have too much fun and God knows it...
I'd prefer good, thank you
You have to see the series to understand. ^_^ This is the GOOD kinda of 'bad-luck'. :D
Tenshi kind of good-ad luck?
Eh. Anime heroes never have bad luck or they wouldn't last a season
:D You wanna bet?
They do too many stupid things to survive with bad luck
Seani's ordered to warp jump a ship...where does he jump it...into the middle of a Pirate armada. :D
And then if he REALLY had bad luck, he'd be killed horribly
* Sephorus has joined #terranotos
Nearly. ^_^p;
* ElementalKnight waves.
\m/ ^_^ Gwar
yeah, he lives.
(( Yo. ))
e_e; What the hell does that mean? You know I'm real and living. I e-mail you...unless you never get my mails.
No game yet
EK.
I'm not going to be here.
* Sephorus points to his work schedule, labelled 'Friday - 11pm - 7:30am'.
And it's currently 10pm.
Connection failed.
*nod* Okay.
Grrr...
Fraggin file.
*Grunts* ...Wow...where's Mory?
Well, I said the game was at 11...
Ah.
So she'll be here somewhere between 10:55 and 11:Whenever.
And knowing her, she'll show up at 10:55.
Yeah.
^_~;;;
So of course you show up at, what, 8:30?
Ty was here at six-o'-somthin'.
^_^ Yup. When do I ever adhere to the laws of time?
Eh. I was here because I had no idea whether the game was still on
Since I sic a Tesseract on you.
And I stayed on because I had nothing else to do. :P
^_^ I have a day off...I spent most of the day play knights of the Old Republic and watching Tenchi Muyo GXP. :D
Nifty.
*Plots the possablity on making a Tenchi Muyo GXP RP* Hmmmm...
>.>
WHAT!? Can't I ammuse my emended mind?
demended*
...*Shots my keyboard*
demented, amuse.
shoots.
SHOOTS*
Drammarific.
...
* ElementalKnight dies.
MORON
Morron.
:D
Mormon. >.>
*yawn* This going to be a mainly RP session?
Oh yeah.
^_~;
Since the last two sessions have been more combat than not...
* ElementalKnight continues to think up ideas on the fly.
*nod*
Oh...wonderful...I get to be stuck in a DRK mind-set for the rest of the night
* ElementalKnight really hopes ideas will hit him as things present themselves during the session. He's also got no idea how long the session will last...
*shrug* I just let jobs be a framework. Estrain doesn't exactly feel the need to put all his money on the line for something
And a dark knight can be utterly sacharine sweet if you so desire. :)
* ElementalKnight points to Luthien, the Paladin with a heart of Id.
He kills old men!
And tries to seduce married women.
*grunts at the Paladin and hisses at him like he's a plague*
Who then beat him up.
It's ironic that DRK and PLD actually compliment eachother's abilities.
I like it.
DK and HK are effectively mirrors, really
:D I guess that's why I have a lvl 50Pld/Drk in FFXI
Something I wanna try is a DRK who uses the Holy element instead of the Shadow element, and a Paladin who goes to Shadow instead of Holy.
They're similar yet different
Aye.
Oh, yes
That sounds bitchin
Shit, that reminds me.
I want a Paladin who's completely FIRE element.
Oooh.
Michael much?
I never did the DRK Twink Factor yet.
I should get to that.
You should do that soon.
Yeah. Hopefully, I can squeeze it in between my life's events.
*Burps*
* ElementalKnight nods.
* Sephorus is now known as Seph[Shower]
T - 25...
* ElementalKnight goes to play some online games. IOt's tempting to hit DDR a little, too, but there're some people he needs to chat with...
*Is currently listening to DDR music* Heh heh heh
Mory's HERE!
Yay.
* Moryssa has joined #terranotos
hello
Hey.
\m/ ^_^ Gwar
Howdy.
already in character I see
I LIVE in-character. :p
so I see :P
Hey, Gale. You ever register that nick?
* ElementalKnight is back from the depths of Popout.
* ElementalKnight is now quite glad he didn't go for DDR.
...No. I dun know how to register my nick
-> *nickserv* register password, I think.
Er,
/msg nickserv register password, I think.
Go to your status window and type /msg ChanServ help register
...Uhhh....later
How do I type actions?
(Your status window is the one that says EsperNet *nick*
Actions like...
* ElementalKnight sits in a chair?
Type /me to do emotes
Like that.
THat's right
/me sits in a chair.
* Typhoon does /me.
It's FFXI set up.
* Moryssa showed you how to do this before :P
>.>
Eh, we were all IRC n00bs once. :P
I can testify this as a fact >.>
* Kulvier doesn't bloody remember yesterday, let alone when you showed him...
* fC| has joined #terranotos
* fC| has left #terranotos
* Retrieving #terranotos info...
* ElementalKnight sets mode: +s
I do this every day, I swear.
Anyway, Gale. Are you going to try sending her your sheet?
Anyhow... yeah.
Through yahell.
* Kulvier fully slips into Kul'vier's character.
* ElementalKnight thinks this'll be interesting.
okay, I just got propositioned
*blink*
Gesundheit.
I can't accept it Gale
Grrr
it won't download :(
* Kulvier whips out my hand-gun and unloads into yahoo
Heh, been there...
It's gotta be a firewall or something on my end.
Maybe my router
Hmm...
But I don't think I'll absolutely need it tonight - little/no combat planned and skills can just be noted (IE, that skill's at XX% now!)
your file's empty
O_O
..?
I'm going to murder yahoo..
* ElementalKnight is now known as EK|GM
(just before i forget to change my nick...)
* Typhoon is now known as Estrain
* Moryssa is now known as Raza_L
So... Is everyone ready? I'm gonna grab some water, myself...
Ready as I'll be. *stretches*
* Kulvier looks up, sharpening my sword. "Let's go."
(Say "his" if you're referring to yourself in emotes.)
(Otherwise, it doesn't sound quite right)
(Aye.)
(oh, and I'm back, to boot.)
((ready))
(I know. Don't lecture me. i'm not noob.)
(No need to be defensive. Just letting you know.)
6* Mailmoogle walks onto the blank screen, plugs the memory card inot the slot on the side of the save point, and selects a file. "Lv. 71, 120 hours... Lv. 2, 5 hours." *click*
(LOL!!!!!!)
* Seph[Shower] has quit IRC (Quit: )
(Nice touch, I'll have to remember that one.)
(Give Gale a quick recap before we start.)
*LOADING* When we last left our heroes, they had confronted a giant pudding mass that had, essientially, pummeled both Raza and an odd Rune Knight who had been on the scene to near-death, and Desil only slight less so. They were heading to the local town of Crossroads to rest for the night anyhow...
(Thanks; that's the main reason the mailmoogle is aroun, anyhow.)
(LOL. MailMoogle, FF:CC idea. I want a plushy of them)
(FFIX is where they originated, I think)
Their new companions - Alan Tercation, Jack Cross and the mysterious Mitzu, apparently worthless in a fight - accompinied them to Crossroads, as they were heading in the same direction (The Eastern Tip) and were invited along by Raza to boot.
(yeah. I just found the job in the Public section of the wiki and ran wit hthe concept from Morgan's FF1 campaign of the SAVE screen.)
*Carries Raza on his Chocobo* She's okay, just knocked out... She's okay, just knocked out...
You're okay, just a broken record. Shut up and ride, Cross, she might still need help.
* Kulvier Kul'vier stared at those he called party members. He was hired as their guide into the depths... He sighed and kept his eyes shaded by his helment. "...Don't dawdle...and stop repeating yourself."
* Raza_L looks a wet mess. With her mascara running down her wet face, her blond hair plastered to her neck and back, and the white cotton mini dress she wore soaked and plastered to her body, she had to rely on natural beauty to remaining alluring. Fortunately wet cotton is shear.
* Estrain just closed his eyes, slumping in exhaustion. He raised his head, looking at the man riding in front of him. "Do you know how much farther it is to Crossroads? I'm exhausted, to be honest."
* Crossroads, the village that was on the horizon, zooms ever closer with each passing moment. it sits at the base of a shallow mountain, and looks to be no more than a few minutes away.
"You need only look up to find that answer..."
"That's hard to do when you're half-sprawled out on a chocobo. I'm tired. Leave me alone."
* The town is illuminated by fire in the twilight, and as you approach, two guards stand sleepily at a randomly-selected portion of the mainway.
* Kulvier had to stiffle a rare chuckle. "You're so weak...you'll never survive the Depths unless you find your strength."
"Oy! You all're pretty late t'be ridin' around, eh?"
"You try telling me that in the morning. I'll kick your ass. Then. Too tired to do it now."
(That was to Kul)
(Yeah, threatening the guard would make a GREAT impression :) )
* Mitzu glares at them, but makes no threatening motions. The guards rescind their argument and allow the parties to pass. The mailmoogle bows at them as he speeds along, atop no one in particular.
* Kulvier knew he found HIS strengths by going on a killing spree and living in the Depths themselves. He looked to Estrain and smirked. "I don't wait to do battle. If a threat is present, I don't hold back." His sword was leveled at Estrain to convay the point.
"...Well, that was odd, eh?"
* Estrain just ignores him, turning away.
* Raza_L shifts in Jack's lap.
"First time I've seen a party go at itself like that..."
* The parties rush to the front of the nearest Inn, of course, the thoughts of the guards ignored and uncared for. Mitzu quickly unloads Alan, Jack Raza, and the Chocobos are watched by the Moogle as everyone heads in.
"...Well, children, you're safe here. Eat, sleep, rest. Do what you will. Buy provisions." Kul knew he was sounding harsh. It was the only way he knew how to sound though. He stood in the lobby of the inn, leaning against a wall near the fire place in silence.
* Mitzu opens the door quickly by barging into it with his back, and Jack calmy walks through, carrying the damp and unconcious Raza. "Uh, got a room or three t'spare?"
* Estrain climbs off and follows Mitzu, concentrating on just staying on his feet.
* Raza_L giggles in her unconsciousnes. "No Jack, that won't fit in the--Wow, it did..."
(...)
* There is, in fact, plenty of room to spare, as the latest spate of tourists and mercenaries hasn't come through yet. They're assigned quickly, the Innkeeper getting whatever medical supplues - mostly towels - are needed.
(...*blink*)
* The dining hall is mostly empty, and the new guests are allowed to use it as they please. Beyond that, only the morning awaits.
(I should apologize for the rushed-ness and the railroad-y-ness here, but I was aiming for a cutscene moment... I'm gonna release my grip on the scene now.)
* Kulvier stared into the flames of the fire, the faint glow of light giving an earie cast on him. "Innkeep...where's the equipment stores? I need to prepare."
Depends on what brand you want; but if you don't care 'bout that you can find one just by walking around with your eyes closed.
Yer friends gonan be okay? They looked like they got knocked for a real good loop back there...
* Estrain spends the next couple of minutes resting in his room, before checking out his room. Once he's done locating and securing everything, he heads out to the dining hall for a quick meal.
* The_Room itself is pretty barren... Since the 'keep wasn't about to ask for money right on the spot, he handed out the, uh, lower-scale rooms.
((is Raza still w/ Jack?))
* Kulvier grint his teeth. "They will be fine." He silently hoped they would be. He winced, that sort of feeling felt strange. He'd not had any feeling like that sinse he lived among his pack.
>.>
* Jack continues to tend to Raza, hoping she'll wake up soon... And if not, well, them's the breaks.
* Mitzu just hopes, from the comfort of solitude, that Jack has the ssense to keep his pants on.
(8sense)
(Damn straight.)
* Raza_L opens her eyes and looks up at Jack. "Mmmm, what happened?" She asks as she yawns and stretches.
(*sense. Stupid shift key.)
* Kulvier turned and walked towards the rooms to check on the rest of the group. "Does anyone need anything? I'm going to see what this town can supply."
"I'm fine enough for now. All I need is some rest and a meal."
* Jack smiles, blinks, and steps back a little, realizing that she's still, uhm, *damp*. He quickly turns away, and talking to the wall, says "You got his by that giant not-water thing pretty bad. Your friend managed t' take it out, though... He's pretty good."
(I want a pony!)
* Kulvier nodded his head. "You earned it." His voice dropped to a near whisper. "Good job out there everyone..."
* Estrain gets to said meal voraciously. He hopes that the innkeeper isn't charging by how much they eat...
* Raza_L sits up. "And you've been taking care of me ever since?
+"
* Jack kicks the ground a little. "Yeah, actually... Once we dropped the not-really-water thing we all rushed here. So, uh... yeah."
"Awww, you sweet little man!"
(Question; Is Kul heading into town at this point?)
* Kulvier turned and walked from the hall. He did a quick check on his personal gold. That battle opened his eyes to a flaw...none of them could heal. His cooking was really important. He needed rations and maybe a potion or two.
* Jack blushes - since he's turned around, all you can see are his ears, but they just turned Firaga-red.
* Raza_L snickers to herself. . o 0 (I wonder if he's still pure.) "You know, I've got to do *something* to repay your kindness. But I'm not sure what would be adequate."
* Kulvier reached up and pulled off his helment as he left the inn. Long blonde hair fell to his mid-back. For the first time it was an unobstucted sight of Kul'vier's face. His yellow-brown eyes carried the weight of much burden.
* Each and every red blood cell in his body rushes to Jack's face. If you hit his cheek with a pin it'd probably explode.
* The Town is quiet, nearly empty. The stores around the Inn are mostly closed or closing, but a few appear like they'll be open for the long haul.
* Estrain finishes his meal, gets up, and heads off for his room, ready to get in his bed - or on the floor, if necessary - and go to sleep. (Who's he sharing it with, anyway?)
* Raza_L notices her...damp clothing and her smile deepens. "Don't be rude Jack, at least look at me. A girl could get a complex."
(*Blink* Good question. I'm sure the Other Party (Jack, Mitzu, and Alan) have their own room... So You're probably stuck with Kul'vier, who's out right now.)
* Kulvier walked into the Item shop. He slowly walked to the counter, his eyes sweeping across the items. He nodded to the shop-keeper. "I need a potion..."
(You say that like it's a bad thing. >:) )
(It'll be a miracle if there's not a chalk outline in the morning >.>)
(How much gold do I have, buy the way?)
* Jack turns, slowly, trying his best to not, uh, let his gaze wander too badly. More difficult battles have been waged, yes, but not without thermonuclear weaponry.
(Yeah...Kul has a tendancy to flail his sword in hs slep. >:) MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!)
(Another good question. Lemme hit the logs and see.)
(Awesome, thanks Ele)
* Raza_L sits up on the bed proudly. She moves a strand of hair out of her mascara'd face. "Now, is there any way I can repay you? *ANY*?"
(126 Agt + 210 Agt + Whatever you already had *should* be right.)
(* From another room echoes "KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS!")
(If someone wants to double-check those numbers, be my guest...)
* Mitzu's "Jack's-Gonna-Fsck-Something-Up-Again" sense tingles.
* Jack blinks... "I, uh, I dunno... I'm not worried 'bout money, if that's what you're askin'..."
* Kulvier sighed lightly and leaned on the counter. "Shopkeeper...are you even awake? Potions...how much?"
* Kul apparently stands before the Inn in a nice, meditative silence... The choice of 'which shop to shop at' is so very difficult. Also the GM has to BRB, he fears.
(See above. He said he wanted a Potion)
(...Wait...was I just 'magiced' back to Inn??? O_O)
(Oh yeah, gonna need an Ingredient list, btw. ^_~;;;)
(Ah, sorry, didn't see that you had headed to the Item shop.. That's my bad. Also, I'm back!)
(Kul be the cook. yer'all screwed... x.x;)
(WB)
* Item-shop keeper nods. "I'm sure you do. Any particular type?"
"Tonic. I don't think i'll need the strong stuff just yet."
"Tonic..." *searches on the shelf behind the counter* "Tonic... Tonic, 'ere we go. 25 Gil a pop."
"I'll take two. Plus...I need to ask you, I need ingredients for cooking. Can you help me out?"
* Mitzu's JGFSUA sense continues to tingle. He opens the window, the wind rustling softly through the tree conviently outside the window.
* Kulvier even thought it was odd to hear a Dark Knight talking about cooking...
* Item-Shop Keeper blinks. "You out shoppin' for the missus, then?"
"More like for my client...I'm the only one that seems to be able to cook." He said with a slight growl in his voice.
Aaah... We might have some stuff for that, though it's not realy our, uh, speciality."
* Raza_L winks at Jack. "Well, what else can I give you besides money?" Her hand gently smoothes out a wet wrinkle on her leg.
* Estrain has a nightmare. He remembers it involving him being fired, but doesn't know why.
"Yeah? And being civil isn't exactly my specialty..." He grunted lightly. "I just need enough to keep my group alive. It does me no good if they all die. I don't make any money then."
* Jack swallows a little, finds a convient chair and takes a hasty seat. "Well... Outside a' money, there's not too much a person needs..." *thinks*
* ISK smiles. "Nice to see someone who sees the, uh, business side of things. Yeah, we've got some ingedients you might be interested in."
(*notes that Estrain may, if he wills, do something... THough being tied up with two people ate *very* different ends of the spectrum is odd enough.*)
* Raza_L crwals to the edge of the bed facing jack. The dress is quite low cut. "Whatabout what a person wants?"
(Nah. Character-wise, he just wants to sleep at the moment. I'm fine with observing for a bit)
"Look...I don't enjoy idle chatter. Let's just cut through the talk. How much?" That'as what it boiled down to and Kul knew it. Humans were all the same...
* Jack looks up, his thoughts brought to their conclusion. "Tell ya what... You reward me as you think you oughta. I just try to get the job done, and a good job done good is a good enough reward for me most days, if you know what I mean."
"I've got about a hundred Argentum's worth of raw materials in the back ready to move out. Anything more than that would take some time."
"Alright then..." Kul'vier poured out 150 Arg, that nearly wiped him out, but he'd deal with that later. He could always poach and sell what he found. With his two tonics and the ingredients, he made his way to the Inn.
* Mitzu's sense continues to tingle, and sharply increases. He raises an eyebrow, and nimbly hops out on to a strong branch of the tree he's looking at.
* ISK gladly concludes the transaction. Okami... Jeeze.
* Raza_L studies Jack for a moment. Either Jack was really coy, or incredibly stupid. She hoped the latter, that way he'd be easier to control. Either way, she wanted to know now. (Empathy roll)

Raza_L - d100: 65 ( Total: 65 )
(bah she sucks)
* Kulvier was feeling a bit sheepish about doing this but he walked to the rooms. It seemed that Raza was accident prone. He opened the door. "Raza. Hang on to this..." He tossed a Tonic at her and left the room just as suddenly as he appeared.
Raza really can't tell wether Jack's just that coy or that dense. Jack probably doesn't know either.
* Jack blinks, blinks again. "Wha'the... Was that your friend who just popped in here?"
* Raza_L caught the tonic in her teeth before realizing Kul threw it. "Gull!," she spits it onto the bed. "Kul!"
"I guess so... Ne'er seen someone just barge in like that. He, uh, ain't from around here, is 'e?"
* Kulvier halted mid-step, his ears picking up Jack's comment. "...I don't have friends..." He cast a glance at them both. "Get some damn rest...Do NOT make me come in here later." (Intimidation roll.)

(And fa- ooh, point.)
* Raza_L scowls at the Okami, but doesn't say a word. . o 0 (Mangy mutt!)
* Jack presses back into his seat, unnerved by the Okami's gruff statement and gruffer concept. "I guess he ain't much of a social pup..."
* Kulvier actually couldn't HELP but laugh this time. He could smell their scents. He'd scared the hell out of them. He didn't really mean too...but...it would get them to listen.
* Kulvier growled lightly. His ears were sharp. "Call me a pup again..."
"Sorry, sorry!"
(Kul'Vier, you rock. :) )
* Kulvier he walked off befor he lost his temper. It was easy to... He wasn't used to being around others...he normally acted as a guide for a short time and was done. He seemed to be i the long haul this time.
(^_^ DRK was my first RP char's class.)
* Raza_L was becoming even more furious. "You're being rude..." That's about all she could manage to say to Kul. No one frightened her like that besides her mother. Of course her mother was frightening for different reasons.
(I've developed 'Gale' for nearly 13 years now. I think like a DRK)
(and thanks Est. ^_^)
((Yeah, I like Gale. But Kul seems to have him beat))
(That's because I only changed the name Mory. ^_^)
(*laughs* I love these sorts of interactions.)
(This, essensially, IS my first RP char. ^_^ I've VERY happy to see him revived.)
(Who else was knocked out in the fight?)
(My first real RP character needs to see a reviving and a revision too... I should do that soon.)
(Seph's character)
(In the fight wit hthe giant not-water pudding? Raza, Seph's character who I cna't recal the name of right now, and Desil got almost-killed.)
(Uhhh....right. Seph ain't on is he.)
(Nope)
(No idea where his character is)
(nope. His character is in another rom, securely KO'ed.)
(*room. Actually, his character is in my EarthBound ROM.)
(>.>)
* Raza_L makes sure Kul is gone before turning to the obviously frightened Jack. "Sorry about that. My dad hired him..."
"Yer dad? Why'd he hire someone like 'im to protect 'is daughter?"
("Because he scares people.")
* Kulvier walked into the room where the unconscious member of their party lay. He eyed his carefully and checked his heart beat. "...He'll live." He left the room and walked back out to the lobby, only to sit in a chair by the fire place. "..."
* Raza_L sighs. "Kul is an expert at survival. Desil and I are from the city. Can't you tell?" She winks at Jack, still oblivious to her running mascara.
* Mitzu continues to move about in his tree, examining windows and the town in general. It's a nice view...
* Kulvier ears perked lightly, he was listening to the conversations and cautiously glancing around the Inn's lobby. He was overly-cautous, but that's kept him alive in the Depths.
* Jack laughs a little nervously at that, still getting over Kul's browbeating. "That you're from th' city? Yeah... I'm from a farm out east m'self. And, uh..." He rubs his eye a little.
* Kulvier raised his voice. "GO TO SLEEP!!!"
* Jack winces again. "'es got a point, we gotta keep movin' tomorrow..."
(Lol. My dad used to do that to me when me and my sister used to just sit and talk all night. :D)
* Raza_L smiles at him. "I kinda' pegged you for a farm boy. You're not at all like the city guys, all slick and greasy. You're refreshing." She rests her hands on her cheeks, smearing more mascara around.
(Your dad was a DK?)
((lol))
(...He was more like the f*ckin Dark Lord Sauron at times...)
* Raza_L stamps her foot down on the ground and screams downstares. "NO!"
("This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it's gonna hurt me. ANd it's gonna take away 25% of my max HP.")
"SHUT UP SO I CAN GO TO SLEEP, YOU BLOODY IDIOTS!"
* Jack just hopes all the yelling doesn't wake everyone else up.
((lol))
* Kulvier got up and walked to the room. "Raza...you're father put me in charge of your safety. Resting is part of it. Don't make me knock you out...
* Mitzu smiles at all the yelling inside. He moves about from window to window, his Jack's-Gonna-Fsck-Something-Up sense tingling stronger...
* Estrain curls back up and goes to sleep under his piles of blanket.
* Jack nods. "'es right again... You're a lot easier to keep safe if you can think on your feet and all. So, uh, I'll just be headin' off to bed now..."
* Raza_L knew the Okami meant it. She looks at Jack apologetically. "Goodnight." Picking up her Tonic she stalks out of the room.
* Jack slowly, cautiously makes for the door. Mitzu's sense fades.
(Shall we move towards the morn, then?)
(No arguments here)
* Kulvier looks at Jack. "Relax kid. I'm protecting them the way I can. I've not be around people in a long time. This is how I am." That was Kul's own attempt at an appology.
(I'm good.)
* Jack blinks, suprised. "Well, uh... Okay. If it works fer you, I guess it'll work fer me, too... It's just, uh, louder than I'm used ta."
((Go for it. though the Okami ruined Raza's idea for a Tonic massage :P))
>.>
?me shrugged. "It gets the point across. Rest up." He walked off to his own room.
(Yeah, all hail Kul, the Dark Knight c*ck-blocker. :P)
* Mailmoogle puts up a Save Point in the Inn's lobby and plays a "Going to sleep" selection from a CD. The night goes by in a bout twenty seconds, everyone waking up refreshed and at full HP/MP.
* Mailmoogle also saves, but doesn't quit - you can never save too often!
* Kulvier was first up. He was already. Having eaten befor any of them were awake. "...Should I wake them up? Or should I let them rest a bit longer..."
* The morning comes with a bright, cloudless dawn. Birds sing, the town is happy and full of noise, and everything is just, on average, peachy-keen.
* Estrain , the second up, blinks and yawns as he struggles out of his small nest of blankets. He blinks again at the new dawn, stretches, and heads off to find his clothes and change into something more suitable.
* Raza_L 's the last to awaken. She also takes the longest in the bath.
* Kulvier was akin to a slice of Night still lingering in the sun. He walked towards the rooms and tapped doors with the flat of his sword. "I'd suggest getting up, wash, and eat. We're leaving as soon as everyone is ready."
* The Inn's dining room is filled with a nice, easy, continental breakfast. The other party - Jack, Mitzu and Alan - is already up and at 'em. For once, Alan doesn't look like he's about to get sick and fall off of something.
* Estrain rinses, changes, and eats, working as efficently as someone still waking up can.
"Morning, people. It's up to debate whether it qualifies as a good or bad one, but it's morning..."
You're alive. There's at least somone in the world who can't claim that. Thus, your morning is, at the least, better than his.
* Raza_L freshly make-uped, perfumed and dressed in a provocative pink cotton robe that shows off a lot of skin finally gets to the dining area. She looks at the breakfast and frowns. "That's it?"
Bah. Today looks good enough to me, Mitz- Ah, hey, Raza!" *wave*
* Kulvier looked at Estrain with an arched eyebrow. "Well, the sun's up, the world is alive. Trade is bustling. ...I suppose to most of you, that is a good day. No chance of rain either. No clouds. Makes for a hot treck."
* Alan pushes his glasses up his nose and stuffs a biscuit into his mouth. "Mmph mph gnarph mph, snrf phmph!"
"That's great, Alan."
* Mitzu nods. "We tend to like it when he's passed out on his chocobo, yes."
* Raza_L smiles at Jack. She picks over the sweets and fruits and places the best looking of each on her plate before heading over to the others. "Good morning."
* Mitzu nods, Alan continues eating and Jack genuinely smiles at the niceity.
* Raza_L takes small dainty bites of her food while letting her eyes flirt with Jack.
* Kulvier was also eating a piece of fruit, though he preferred to stand alone near a window.
* Mitzu sits. "Anyhow. I believe your party is headed to the Eastern Tip, as is ours, correct?"
"At least I can say that in all probability, today will be better than yesterday." Estrain continues eating as he muses to himself. "It's not everyday you're nearly mugged and then assaulted by a weird magical water creature..."
* Jack just works with Raza's eyes as best as he can. That is to say, not too well.
"It's not everyday that a group of amatures hire me as a guide...with a full contract."
* Raza_L stifles a chuckle, totally ignoring the rest of the people around them.
"Our best route from Crossroads would be north, to the Hole, and then dead east, along the northern coastal Mainway."
"Any particular reason we're heading towards the Hole? That's where most of the traffic comes from, I understand..."
"I hope you all got prepared last night. I already took the liberty to buy ingredients for cooking..."
"Well, the road we were on last night continues heading north. The only other mainway from this town is west, towards Skylark's Watch."
"When trying to move unseen, sometimes it best to remain in the open, Estrain." he commented on the question.
* Raza_L doesn't take her eyes off of Jck, but speaks to Kul'Vier. "Can you cook?"
+a
"That, and our, uhm..." *glances at Alan* "employer said he had business there. What, I don't know yet."
"I see."
"I haven't lived in the Depths by myself without knowing how to cook Raza. Your father hired a survivalist. I intend on keeping that reputation."
* Jack, confusedly thinking she was talking to him, "Not too much, though my mama could whip up a storm in the kitchen... But give me a fire and a stick and I can probably cook up something."
Fully appreciating her Palestra education, Raza just let's out an "I see."
* Kulvier tilted his head up, his piercing yellow eyes fell on Jack, Mitzu, and Alan. "So...which of you can wierd weapons with any skill? If you're going to be travelling with us, I'll be expecting you to help out as much as you can, but I won't be putting you in too much danger. I have my codes of ethics."
*smiles a little* "Melee is my forte, which is why I'm under contract along with Mr. Cross. I'm bound to protect Mr. Tercation and only him, though."
"Ayep, Mitzy can slice up just 'bout anything... I provide the magical backup. I'm not much of a mage yet, but it was good enough for Alan, so it's good enough to get paid for."
* Kulvier nodded. He understood that perfectly. "As I um under contract you protect Raza and Estrain."
* Estrain gives Mitzu a look that says clearly, "we were almost wiped out and you couldn't be bothered to get off your ass and help us because it WASN'T IN YOUR CONTRACT?"
"Essientially, though it runs... deeper than that, I fear."
"For 'im, it does. Only reason I didn't move in was because Mitzy here was, uh, clear on it, and so was 'is blade."
"You, personally, weren't in mortal danger. I saw no need to intervien." He looked at Raza with a leveled, cold stare. His words were equilaly challenging and intimidating. (Intim roll)
(That was said by look, not words)

(if you roll under 10, your Critically succeed. That is, you not only pull it off, but you pull it off in style and kick lots of arse doing it, too.)

* Raza_L averts her eyes from Kul'Vier and busies herself in her food.
(A roll of 10 in Acrobatics might let you pull off a triple saumersault with twists.)
* Kulvier glanced up at the others. "It's going to be a long day everyone. I'm not sure what this day holds for us, but remember to keep your guard up."
* Mitzu finishes with his free food and heads to the front desk to pay off his party's debts to the manager. Alan goes back for seconds. Jack sets his plate down where Mitzu was sitting, quite finished.
(Ha ha ha. Sorry Mory, it's like 'pick on you' day. ^_~;;;)
((you'll get yours :P))
* Estrain finishes up his meal, wipes his mouth with his napkin, and stands up. "I'll be waiting outside."

(*nod*)
(I'm good until 3. Then I die.)
(lol. I have battery's for all night.)
* The other party heads outside, their debts paid. Assuming someone from The Main Party pays, too, they can be off as well.
((as long as we're going, I'll be fine))
(I'm good for at the least another hour, so awesome.)
* Raza_L slips out the front to chat with Jack.
(Hah. We slip and leave the bill on Kul'Vier. >.>)
* Kulvier walked outside to the stabbles.
(Blocked. >:))
(Who's, uh, probably closer to broke than the rest of you. Very nice.)
((shoot, he can intimidate the innkeep into not making them pay))
(He HAS morals. He's not an 'EVIL' Drk.
* Estrain sighs and goes inside to the innkeeper. "Sorry. I thought the others were paying. How much do we owe?"
* The Innkeeper watches the party head out, and yells after the last one to leave - that is, Kul'Vier. "Hey! Just because that one guy paid doesn't mean he paid for all of yas!"
* Innkeeper is suprised. "Ah, geeze, sorry."
"No problem."
"Anyhow, for the three of ya, it's 30 Agt. The medical stuff is free, just this once."
* Kulvier grunts something about the 'sun being to bright'.
* Estrain pulls out the coins, pausing, before taking out another 5 Agt and handing the sum of 35 to the innkeeper. "Here's a tip. Your service was excellent."
* Kulvier growled lowly. "You're dawdling Estrain..."
* Innkeeper smiles at the extra. "Thank you, good kind sir! And remember to stay at any Rouge Aye Inn across Terranotos!"
* Estrain sighs, nods to the innkeeper, and heads out. "Thank you."
* Innkeeper whistles "My Way" as Desil walks out.
* Kulvier pulled his helment down to shade his eyes as much as possable. "Well...is everyone ready now?"
* Estrain nods.
"Yes."
* Jack nods, hopping up on his 'bo and offering a hand to Raza.
* Raza_L graciously accepts it.
*Alan hops on his 'bo, and immediately begins to look somewhat ill.
* Kulvier started to walking. "Good...no slacking today. We're going to cover as much ground as possable."
* Estrain declines to ride on one of the chocobos this time, walking instead.
"My thoughts exactly."
"Alan...why do you ride a Chocobo...if you can't stomache the mount?"
* Mitzu nods. "If we push the birds we can make the Hole before sunset."
* Alan is about tosay something, when he puts a hand to his mouth. Jack buts in for him. "He rides because he has to make good time, he told us. He gets sick like that on anything... Boats, birds, wagons, anything that isn't his own two feet. It's kinda sad, really."
* Raza_L nods. "I'd probably feel the same way if I didn't have you here to help."
* Kulvier looked at Alan's chocobo. He couldn't help but think how much more efficient he could be if he had a pole arm and was mounted. But, he preferred walking. "Ever think of getting a sponsor to craft chocobo boots? They allow you to float a few inches off the ground, orso i'm told. They let you walk the roughest terrain with ease."
"Seems like it'd be hard to walk a foot off the ground..."
"Nothing to push against."
* Mitzu nods. "Anyhow, you need birds if you want to keep up. Same arrangement as yesterday, or would you want to try and rent your own?"
"Well, I hear the Lial company is looking to fix that."
"It's enchanted. The air under you acts as ground. It feels no different." *He shrugged* "A former grounp was once talking about it. I mearly listened..."
* Kulvier looked up. He was an Okami. He had stamina. He could keep up fairly easy. "I'm well enough on my feet."
"I can keep pace on the ground for a while, myself..."
* Jack looks at Raza. "Really? I knew those big companies're lookin' into putting magic into every swordsman's sheath or somethin', but putting it in your shoes... That's a new one on me."
(Heh. FFT. I loved equiping everyone in my party with choco boots. Made things so much easier.)
* Mitzu shrugs, and takes hold of Alan's 'bo's reins. "Very well then. If anyone's any stops to make before we leave town, now's the time."
(Feather Boots, you mean? Those were the ones with Auto-Float...)
* Raza_L smiles. "They're coming out with a new line. More modern. In fact, my outfit is of their latest line for female mages."
(Naw, I'm sure it's Choco boots. I'll check later.)
* Mitzu leads the other two-plus-one north, towards the city's exit onto the north-south mainway.
(Feather Boots. I'm telling you, man, Feather Boots.)
(*doesn't get into the argument. The feathers could be Choco feather!)
"Yes...my rediculous outfit is a model too... I prefer my functional old armor, but I'm being payed to wear this as part of my contract... At least this gauntlet prevents blindness."
"I'm in a lightweight outfit of their's too... Part of my job." Estrain shrugs. "They're not bad. Haven't failed me yet."
* Raza_L scowls. "You just have no sense of fashion, Kul'Vier. People would kill to be in your position."
* Kulvier found himself blushing. Why was he talking so much? He was usually so quiet and reserved, yet...he was gabbing away like an anxious pup...
"Oooh, nice... I've wanted ta try ta make armor like that, m'self, but I got into merc work before that idea really got off th' ground..."
"I know some people in the Lial company. I could get you a job there."
* Kulvier looked up at Raza. "people whould kill themselves if they were in my possition Raza. Being a Dark Knight gives you insight into much more than....................nevermind."
"Maybe, but not yet... When I do start doin' armor, I'd like t' be good at it, to have th' magic to really do something new..."
* Mitzu glances over. Insight is not always something to be sought after.
"Sounds like a good enough dream, I suppose."
* Raza_L ignores Kul. "It's good to have ambition."
* Kulvier was shivering lightly. He was in pain in the depths of his soul. A darkness that needed to be shattered, overcome, controlled. He ground his teeth.
* The town is now technically behind the parties, as they head north along the mainway. In the distance, there's not much but a cloud or three, shining a light pink in the sunrise's dying flame.
(...Wow...smut PM...Urge to kill rising)
*blink*
(Yeah. They seem to be on the rise. -.-)
(...Those ppl need to find something constuctive to do.)
(Indeed.)
(Most do.)
(like RP. )
(yeppers.)
(Or get a real job. :D)
((Hehe))
(Stuff.)
* Time passes, the town of Crossroads fades from view and the sun rises into the air. In the distance on the road are a number of short figures, happily plodding along. behind is another group, and from the flashes they're probably tourists.
(*burp*)
"...Let's veer off a bit."
"Those flashes aren't a good sign..."
* Kulvier growled angerly. "Fools. Those flashes will draw monsters from the fields.."
"Tourists are horrible."
"Amen."
* Mitzu nods, and Jack laughs. Alan just slumps on his chocobo, the bird itself not really minding the weight being spread out like that.
* Kulvier laughed. "They create their own deaths. I can't tell you how many of thosefools want to enter the Depths and then scream, begging me to take them back...
* One of the flashes rises high into the air, still flashing brightly... when it shatters in midair. All the flashes abruptly stop.
* Raza_L frowns. "That doesn't look so good."
* Kulvier growled and gripped his sword. "Thus it begins...they caught something's attention. Magic. They're calling for help..."
* Estrain mutters darkly under his breath. "So much for my uneventful day..."
* THe tourists seem to move on, and the short figures stop on the road for a while.
"This would be an excellent time to show our wares."
"Heh...rescues have a price tag." Kul'vier charged stright towards the group. His sword drawn*
* Estrain sighs, snaps his boomerangs out of their resting places, and advances behind Kul'Vier at a slower pace.
*as the group draws closer, they find that the short figures are, in fact, dwarves, fully armored and hefting large impliments of slashity, stabbity, or mallet-y death. They sit atop a large boulder by the side of the road, sharing a (comparitively) large bottle of what seems to be alcohol.
* Kulvier came running up towards the stopped figures. He was ready for battle, but wouldn't make an aproach that would earn an unnecissary battle. "Mind explaining what you're doing?"
"Havin' a drink, thank ye kindly!"
(*Dwarf.)
* EK|GM = tpyos.
"The flashes, you ignorantly drunk dolt. Are you trying to call every monster withing a league?"
"Kul'Vier, stop harassing people."
"Oy! Those flashes weren't oos!"
(*Dwarf 2, mind.)
"Aye, those damn tourists were gathered 'round oos, 'Oooh, lookit the wee little'uns headin' to Pallestra Ferratus!'"
"...I've living in the Depths, I know what creatures can come. Tell me then...who's making that racket then?" (Intim roll)

"So Gungil 'ere took 'is mallet ta one an' hit 'is flashbox sky-high!"
(eh? Sweet!)
"Aye, t'was me. A fine hit it was, too!"
* The dwarves don't seem to be intimidated at all. They're too caught up in their own story to really notice, apparently.
* Kulvier a grin crossed Kul's face. "Heh...good. It's about time fools like them get a shot of reality.."
* Raza_L whispers to Jack. "I can't understand a word they're saying."
"Aye, 'tis indeed! Good ta see someone on th' roads who isn't aboot to flash lights in our eyes or steal our ale!"
* Estrain just scans the surrounding areas quietly as Kul'Vier talks to the dwarfs. No point in letting monsters - or more tourists - sneak up on them while they talk.
* Jack whispers back, "I don't either... But your friend seems ta have 'em under control, so, uh... I think we're okay."
"Let's hope so."
"Aye!" "Aye!" "Aye!" *drink*
"...I've wandered the Depths leading fools like that for profit. Why do they willing walk to their deaths? Tell me...were those fools being guided? Or are they walking to their deaths blindly?"
Oy, I dun'think they had anyone w'th a lick o sense in 'em in th' whole group! But if a merc's gonna lead a buncha flashy-mc-flasher-flashes aroond like them-"

"Profit, is profit my good friends. An' a fine thing to toast to." He nodded to the drwarfs and looked at the group. "Anyone feel like leading sheep from their slaughter?" There was a 'mercenary' gleam in his eyes. He was a guide after all...
"Aye! An as much as we'd like ta get in a good right're two before we get ta where we're goin', we dun wanna do it while tryin' to protect somebo-"
"Nay, fella,s the fuzy one's a point to 'im! Might be a good way to hone oor skills before we get t' th' Pallestra!"
(*fellas,
"We've got nothing to lose. And a lot to gain."
"Hm... 'E's right. B'sides, we kenna leave those poor bastards to th' fates, now, ken we?"
* Kulvier looked at them. "Of course I'm right...I'm a Dark Knight..."
"New charges. Joy."
Don't be so glum about it, Mitzy - we got plenty a' time, and a little extra money couldn't hurt."
* Kulvier looked at Raza. "Diplomacy isn't my skills. I keep people in line. Maybe you should talk to the 'fools' and get them to start acting rashly.
* Estrain raises an eyebrow, but doesn't comment. He just hopes this doesn't blow up in their faces.
"Oy, we're comin' too. A'th' least, we're th' ones who sent 'em runnin'."
* Raza_L looks at Kul thoughtfully. "I dunno. Tourists scare me."
"Well. Let's make a decision and go. I'd like to be at the Hole by dusk."
* Kulvier grinned coldly. "Who's scarier, those fools... Or me?"
"Neither. One's just laughable."
The corner of Raza's lip twitched slightly. Then Mitzu spoke, making her chuckle. "Let's just hurry up and get to them."
Mitzy, I didn't htink ya had a joke in yer whole body! Where'd that come from?"
* Kulvier knew he got his point across. He'd been brow beating Raza and she knew he didn't have a second thought about doing so again.
* Mitzu just shrugs.
(And with a sidequest revealed from the depths of Totally Winging It, shall we call it a night here?)
((Whatever the rest of you guys want. I'm still good to go.))
(Yeah, works for me. i'm pretty tired.)
(Either way I'm fine.)
(lol. I'm toasted. I got work in the morning. Lol
(...Heh.)
(I myself am tired, and I don't have anything planned for now anyhow...)
(Or, uh, any ideas to work from >.>)
So...I am real. What do you think?
(So...)
* Mailmoogle hops off of Alan's chocobo and sets up a Save Poain on the road, black shining Memory Card in hand. Inserting it into the slot on the Save Point, the screen on the 'point flashes: SAVE/QUIT? Y/N
* Estrain freezes in place, half-way in the gesture of flipping and catching a coin.
* The coin flips and lands in his outstretched palm, on the "yes" side.
* Kulvier is frozen in place while in the process of an uncharacteristicly funny stance, about to fall flat on his face.
(It's a yes/no coin. BECAUSE HE'S JUST THAT GOOD.)
(Heh.)
* Raza_L has quit IRC (excalibur.esper.net legend.esper.net)
* Highwind has quit IRC (excalibur.esper.net legend.esper.net)
(...)
* Raza netsplits on the YES option.
(Well. That was conviently timed)
Indeed.

Hopefully.
(Seeya.)
Lol
