* Now talking in #terranotos
* Topic is 'Terranotos Campaign: http://www.geocities.com/elemental_knight1/terranotos/ | Current Status: THERE! | Next Game: Sunday, 27th PM EST. Rewards from last fight: 1080 EXP and 348 Agt to each PC. Also, one Bomb Core and one Ink one-shot item.'
* Set by ElementalKnight on Mon Feb 21 07:06:53
 what time does game start?
 Theoretically, seven-ish.
 Really? Depends on when I'm done prepping.
 Thanks. 7 central?
 EST, actually.
 Is that one hour ahead or before central? I forget.
 & C = 8 EST.
 *7 C
 I think.
 take your time.
 Indeed.
 I need to figure out what's gonn happen next.
 It's me, Ladis, btw.
 I kinda figured, since Ty was in here and Mory usually shows up ten minutes after the normal start time.
 That, and I don't htink she Gms anything.
 I'm insanely tempted to just Open Things Up. Le the players wander around, and if somethign interesting pops up, we'll use it.
 MMORPG style.
 ...though it tends to work best for 1P campaigns...
 I'll be a bit late.
 Need to do a big boss battle for my camp.
 No worries.
 Not like I'll be on time or anything.
 What's with the nick, anyway?
 Is someone using your usual one, EK?
* EK|Christopher is now known as ElementalKnight
 me, apparently.
 This comp needs to try and connect trice to get online.
 *twice
 *shrug*
 Ah
 *thinks*
 Any particular angles you feel like exploring tonight, Ty?
 Tracking down Alan, most likely.
 Once we find him, we find whoever he works for
 Hehe.
 Fair enough.
 *thinks alogn those lines*
 Hm...
 ...Bwaha, yes, I think I've an idea or two. Very flexible, random ideas.
 It says something that the part I loathe most about character creation is coming up with a name.
 What's it say?
 Don't know why. It always just takes me a while, and I'm always glad when it's done
 That's probably part of why I like Moogles. >.>
 It's easy to make Moogle names
 Well, is it just the name, or the background/non-stat stuff?
 Mogupop!
 Just the name
 I like doing the background and such.
 Hm.
 If I DIDN'T, I wouldn't role-play. :P
 not necessarily.
 Al lthe RPers my GF knows are basically wargams... OMG NEW STUFF! OMG SMASH GOBLINS!
 "Wat about, you know, having your character grow?"
 "having your what do what now?"
 I like picking at the system and twinking things, but the twinks I design generally don't go anywhere.
 *wargamers. God, but i hate this keyboard.
 I like to balance actual characters
 I'm using this "twink" because he's support, and I want to see how nasty that can do things.
 Plus, it's a change of pace.
 *nod*
 Indeed.
 Something you wouldn't do otherwise.
 ...actually...
 Yeah
 Sponsorship: 5 and a dependance on Battle Items would do it okay.
 I played wit hthe concept with Christopher once.
 You... just can't really support early game.
 he had Bomb and Arctic stuff to fill in the gaps fro mWind/Thunder.
 *nod*
 But Blind and Poison pwn.
 There's not enough buffs, and thus you only really have healing and some damage
 Yeah, Blind's nice.
 Just not good enough without damage to back it up
 I still heart Poison. damage *and* more damage!
 Yep.
 That's what really makes it nasty
 It's just a bit expensive. 9 MP... Oy.
 Three of those and you're out.
 Hmm
 15 + SPR + anything above average...
 *any roll above average
 10 + SPR.
 More like two and then some other.
 I know
 d10 is the average MP die
 True.
 And 5 is 10's average, so...
 If you maxed a Human RM out with a high MP dice roll (7 or 8) then three Poisons...
 right, you're right.
 My bad.
 It's been too long...
 Probably has. Two years?
 Whenever 3E finishes (Summer?), the PTC needs to come back.
 Year and a half, more...
 ...yeah, actually.
 two years.
 PTC started in the beginnnig of summer, 03, didin't it?
 I'm not sure.
 Right around when I first had a girlfriend. So yeah, give or take.
 It started before I was aware of it, so it took a bit for me to pay attention to it
 1.75 yearsish.
 And i've been using the FFRPg sicne 2.1... So another year before that.
 I feel old.
 Heh
 I've been around here for almost 3 years.
 I've been here around 4, I think
 Active, though?
 I came in just after Blue Brandon came up with the current Mime.
 Hm.
 I helped with that (I came up with the statline!), lurked a bit, then became active
 Ah.
 Cool!
 It was originally all 10s.
 So yeah, if you think the stats suck, blame me. >.>
 I'm not complaining.
 Saan might, but meh.
 I wonder how many end-game Mimes will get Hero Rings.
 Heh.
 To odamn many.
 might as well cal lthem Mime Enhancers and leave it at that.
 Hero Rings + 2 Enhancers is actually exactly 30 MAG on a Human Mime
 Although that requires Secret/Special Training
 Plus Ambidexterous.
 *shrug*
 Random useless fact.
 There's nothign saying you can't have two weapons without Two Weapons.
 ...Heh.
 AFAIK.
 you'd just suck wit hthe second one.
 So don't swnig it.
 You'd build a Mime exactly like my Red Mage build.
 Think of it as an extra accessory.
 Except switching the Economizer for a Hero RIng
 Kaiser Helm + Maximilian + whatever armwear you could afford
 *nod*
 28 STR, 30 MAG.
 Pretty good
 Yeah, actually...
 Although you get a max of 19 everywhere else except AGI (20)
 Get a Gigas Armlet, and that's 30 STR.
 ...Wow. It's actually very possible for a 30/30 Mime.
 Ayep.
 you just need the abilities to back it up.
 *to be a
 A 30 AGI mime is a bit harder, I think...
 Weird typo.
 But not by much.
 Then get a Red Mage ally and a Black Mage or Sage ally and you can fling X-Magic 30 Magic Ultimas or Meteors! Huzzah!
 That would be kind of funny.
* Moryssa has joined #terranotos
 Nice timing.
 hey
 Get in the door just as it turns 7:00 on my computer clock
 I wanted to make you worry ;)
 6:59 here.
 ...wait, no, 7:00.
 Just turned.
 Bah, you're usually late. :P
 As far as I'm concerned this is impressive
 indeed.
 I'm usually on 15 minutes before :P
 Technically, you're *early*.
 I'm still used to you being fashionably late.
 Any news on Gale/Kul?
 well, enjoy the timing :P and he's supposed to be here later
 Okay. Should we worry abotu him, or just plow on? Either way's good for me.
 play on
 plow, I mean
 playow.
* ElementalKnight is now known as EK|GM
* Moryssa is now known as Raza
 (As always, I'm basically ad-libbing. Feel free to go off in your own direction and try something - in fact, please do so. Gives me more to work with.)
* Typhoon is now known as Estrain
 (After all, huge resort town where a giant robot spider attacked. Plus, no Wild Wild West referenc- dammit.)
 * The Mailmoogle walks onto the blank screen with an empty glass in hand, chucks it, and fishes the memory card from his shirt pocket. He plugs it into the Save Machine, reloaded just moments after the attack on the Lial Emporium.
 * The crowd is inside the Emporium itself, happily shoppign away and talking abou tthe spectacle they've just observed. Eric and Jack make their way to the scene, both in a bit of amazement.
  You... took that hting down by yourselves?
 "With the help of crazy bell man over there, yes."
 (Didn't we eat after killing the spider thing?)
* Raza quickly runs over to Jack and hugs him (as if their wasn't enough of that earlier), wrapping her arms around his neck. "Jack! It was wonderful!"
 * Meanwhile, Mitzu hops down from nowhere, holding a larg epiece of blue paper in one hand. "I've found it's weakness! It's-" and she sees the scene. "...Never mind."
 * Jack laughs, still stunned. "Well, y'all aren't dead, so yeah, it is!"
  S-So... This wasn't a p-p-planned exhibition?
 "No."
 "No. That thing came from Altercations, Inc."
  Oh... Then what just destroy- ...oh....
 "Yeah."
 * Mitzu nods. "Seems our old friend Alan isn't one to play fair..."
 "Let's hope no one was in those houses."
 (Hm.)
 !roll 1d2
 EK|GM - 1d2: 2 ( Total: 2 )
 "Speaking of Alan," Estrain says, quietly, "where is he? I believe we need to talk."
 "I never liked Alan. But I'm glad you're on our side, Jack...And you too Mitzu."
 * the houses were empty, and probably scheduled for demolition anyhow. Things always work out like that.
  I'm on the side that pays well. My contract with Alan ran up the instant we came in to the city limits.
  What about truth and justice and not taring down someone's house?
  Those're usually implied.
 "Does Alan work for whoever pays him, or just specifically for Altercations?"
* Raza plays with Jack's eyebrows. "We should get those trimmed. No need for them to be that messy."
 * Mitzu has a puzzled lok on her face, and then blink. "He... *Owns* Altercation Inc."
 "..."
  Alan Tercation. 'Al' Tercation.
 "You are telling me we spent the last week escorting the CEO of the company that opposes ours and tried to destroy them. With a giant robot."
  basically, yes.
  Couldn't tel you all, it was part of the contract. he wa sjust some nobody who couldn't stand to ride a 'bo as long as we had 'im.
* Raza plucks a hair out of Jack's eyebrow at that. "What!?"
  *Ow!*
  Well, y'all weren't advertising your satus much either, were ya?
 "You know, this makes things a lot more complicated."
  remember those thieves outsidea Notos?
 "Yeah, what about them?"
  If he'da known who you were, how much you wanna bet that he'd stil lbe after you?
  With several thousands of his friends.
 ~Normally, I'd just go over there and rough them up a bit. Now, this either gets political, or we break the law in storming their headquarters. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I doubt this is all they're doing.~
 "The question is, what do we do?"
  Besides, keeping secrets is nothing new. The giant mechanical spider thing is, though... *checks blueprints*
 "I'll Summon Ifrit and we can burn the mother down."
 "While that would be satisfying, we would be wanted criminals afterwards."
 "As would the Lial company."
 "IF we attack them, we have to do it covertly."
  I'm up for it. Call it... free advertisement.
  Ah, he learns.
 "The only problem is, how many of you are actually trained in stealth?"
 "That's your department. I could call up the press, but that's about it." 
 "I'm easily the best out of every single one of you. And I'm no master." Estrain shakes his head.
 * Mitzu raises her hand.
 "Ah, you are, Mitzu? You don't seem the type."
  really? I didn't know that.
  Exactly.
 * Mitzu ^_^s.
 "My weapons are a lot quieter, and my gear's a lot lighter. How do you sneak in that stuff?
  Very carefully. That, and it's not so much that I'm quiet as it is that I'm not here everyone's looking.
 *whe, too.
 (*kicks keyboard. GRAAAAAH!)
 (*when. :P)
 (Thank you.)
 "Still, what would you do once you got in?"
 "Get to the top, I assume."
 "Mind, I doubt he'd be completely unguarded."
  Assassinations happen, yes... Er, accidents.
  Why kill 'im? Why not jus tmess with his stuff?
 (Let's assume we've moved somewhere quiet by now.)
 (indeed. To Eric's office!)
 (And/or your favorite heavily guarded and even heavier-ly armed office of yoru choice.)
 "Because if you don't kill the bad guy, he just comes back, dear. And sometimes they come back even if you do kill 'em."
 "No, we are not killing him."
 "That's messy and unnecessary."
 "But it'd make me feel better."
 * Mitzu shrugs. "It works, though."
 "What we DO need to do is to convince him that continuing what he's presently doing would be unwise."
 * Eric steps out of the office. He can't handle this kinda stuff... and he needs coffee.
 "Both for his company and for his personal health."
 "After all. Who's to say his successor wouldn't do the same thing, eventually?"
 "Well, if he's dead, his company would be in turmoil and the Lial family could buy it out. Maybe."
  True...
 "No. If we bought them out then, then it would look suspicious."
 "Like we knew that it would happen."
 "Fine."
  So we don't go and kill him. How're we gonna mess with him enough?
  *thinking*
 "Sneaking in's the only way to do that. The alternative is finding evidence he is responsible," Estrain points, "for that. To be honest, I don't have any idea how we'd do that."
  There's plenty of leftover mech-spider outside.
  ...How'd you all destroy it, anyhow?
* Raza sighs. "The little weasle operating it self-destructed."
  The blueprints show it to be almost imposible to destroy by physical weaponry...
  ...That would do it. But why destroy yourself?"
 "If his employers would make sure he paid if he failed, possibly."
 "Or he just had a 'go down with the ship' mentality."
 "I'd say the former. That robot was toast regardless of what he did."
  Good for him, then.
  ...So we get inside Altercaton somehow... What do we do when we're *in*?
  Well, we can't get *everyone* in.
 "Depends. Did you manage to get a map of the place, Mitzu?" Estrain says, half-seriously. 
  Just directions from a very scared guard.
 "Ah. Fun."
  It was, yes.
 "I doubt Lial has any insiders or sources inside. If so, we'd have known about this."
 "Well, maybe we should plant someone in there."
 "That'd take time."
 "And if we failed, then it would be much, much harder to get in."
 (BRB, water)
 "That's true."
 "I'm beginning to wish you knew how to summon Bahamaut."
 "Gigaflare would solve things nicely."
 (Bahamut. Weird spelling)
 (back)
 "I've never come across any dragons, let alone the king of them....but I do have other Celestai."
  So you could but a dent in a building or two. They can rebuild, and they'll have sympathy on their side...
 "I know. Still, a giant dragon would be nice."
  What about that buying-them-out idea? It's perfectly legal, no one would care, and... maybe you can start smaller. Buy out bits and pieces so they don't have a leg to stand on.
 "Let's wait until Eric gets back to discuss that."
 "We can talk to some of their investors and get them to sell us their stocks in the company."
 * A few minutes later, Eric peeks in with a cup of coffee. "So, w-what's the plan?
 "Is it reasonable to slowly buy out Altercations?"
 "Does Lial have the finances?"
  Buy out the entire thing? As far as I know, it'd be difficult... we'd need a huge influx of cash... But if we take it slowly, buy him out piece by piece, then... I think so.
  So we *can* do it?
  Er, they.
  If we take it as a long-term project, yes. I can bring up the idea at the next possible meeting.
 "By the way. When will Lial be notified about these events?"
 "I'm sending out a letter this evening."
  Eastern Tip to Notos, barring major hangups, three days by CMS.
 "And if he responds ASAP, that's another 3 days. So boys, we may be here for at least another week."
  So if you're all staying here, it'll be about a week before we know- yes.
 "So we've got a week, if we're doing anything else with Altercations."
 "I definately want to call up a press storm against them. And it's unfortuante no innocent bystanders got hurt. That would've really shined negatively on them."
  So, a week to know what Lial says. I-
 * Jack looks over at Raza, stunned.
  -think we should get as much information about Altercation as possible. If we do act, we won't have asted the time. And if we don't... well, we won't have been bored.
* Raza looks at Jack. "I mean it's fortunate, but unfortunate." ~_~
 "We'd do that anyway, especially if we were doing an infiltration. We can't afford to be sloppy."
 * Mitzu nods. Someone's got their hads on right.
 *Head. I still hate my keyboard.
 * Jack gives Raza a sideways glance of suspicion, but returns his attention to the discussion anyhow.
  Oh, and Raza?
 "Yes?"
  If you aren't too busy makign googly-eyes at jack, put in a word about 'extra funding' for additional personell. As much as I'm happy to do this, I'd still like a paycheck.
 "Oh, no problem."
 * Mitzu nods. "Good... Anyhing else we need to discuss, then?"
 "Where are you and Jack going to be staying?"
  That's a good question... We won't get our paycheck from helping out Alan for a while.
  And we're a bit short on finances, I'm afriad.
  So... can we stay with your group? If only for a short time.
 "Of course. Jack, you can stay in my room with me."
 "I don't have any problem with it. Both of you seem good at what you do." Estrain turned to Eric. "Do you hae any problems with hiring these two as mercenaries?"
 (*have)
 * Jack blinks. "Not much of a choice, I guess..."
  Well, Raza seems to trust them enough. I can't say no to that. Literally, I can't, I'd lose my job.

 (Power Outages are fun.)
 (Hiya.)
 (What'd you see last?)
 (Right, so, did I miss an- Hm. Crap... It was after the 'rooms' thing, after Eric said he couldn't say no...)
 (That's about it, I think.)
 "Depends. Lial's about 50/50 on letting his daughter have her way."
 (Then Raza gave Estrain The Eye.)
 "Oh, and from what I hear, he doesn't really believe his daughter's old enough to be in any sort of a relationship. So yeah, Raza, keep the hormones down over there, would ya?"
  He's got a point. Last thing Jack needs is your father's wrath on him.
 "I'm a grown woman!"
 "That's the last thing ANYONE needs..."
 "Yes, and you work for your dad."
 "He's still your boss."
  Is there something I shou-
  Just keep your head down and your moth closed.
 *mouth. whee tpyos.
  *sigh* I'm just going to stay uninvolved in this. Wherever yo uwant me to sleep - a couch, preferably - I'l lmake do with it.
  Whatever happens to Jack is not my responsibility. It's his.
 "We could probably get you a room in an inn fairly cheaply. Saying you work for Lial tends to drive prices down somewhat, especially in a town they have big stores in."
 * Eric sees a light go off on his desk, and he heads for the door. "You can all see yourselves out, just mind the crowds," he says, "Situation, Aisle 17!"
 "Take care!"
  We should probably skedaddle before the shoppers find there way up here...
 ((brb, have to order dinner))
 (noted)
 (akward silence!)
 ((back))
 (lack of silence!)
 "I guess I should get this letter sent out, so that we can see to your sleeping arrangements."
 * Mitzu nods. "Sooner the better."
 (shall I >> ?)
 ((Yes))
 (noted.)
 * Some time later, the sun sets on the Eastern Tip. The Emporium is getting its last few shoppers out of hte building, and the destruction before it is being picked over by workers and the people who live next door.
 * The Inn isn't full at all, and if need be, a seperate room can be obtained. The view's still not that bad.
 * Meanwhile, the Chocobo Messenger Service handles Raza's letter - if it's finished - and gets on its way for the night.
 (shall I assume 'yes' for both?)
 ((Yes))
 ('k. Just checkin'.)
 (Hm... You want I should >> all the way to tomorrow, or should ther ebe some night-time fun as well?)
 (YAY for me and questions. <.<)
 ((might as well Fastforward. we'll assume Estrain managed to make Raza leave Jack alone for the night))
 (...Aaaaand I'm losing everyone. Grah.)
 (*shrug*)
 The next day dawns, and despite Raza's best attempts, Jack wakes up in his own bed. Theoretically, so does everyone else.
 * The Inn is bustlign a little more than normal; people seem to be coming in for some reason or another.
 * Most of them seem to be Mercs and Delvers, actually... And they're all far too happy for their on good.
 "So, what do we do today? Just sit back?"
 "I guess, though I wonder what's got everyone so excited."
 "True. Let's check on Eric - if it's got to do with Lial, he'd know."
 * (>>, whee!) Eric's busy as all get-out, but, of course, he finds some time to see everyone's favorite heiress. "Can't say It's Lial-related.  It's just a big party they throw every once in a while, the Eastern Festival."
  Everyone gets drunk and wears fake jewelry and i-it's just a very loud time. People come in from everywhere just to forget the time they spent here.
 "And that's why you chose yesterday to open."
 "It sounds awesome."
  Basically.
  We're too busy with the Grand Opening to do a Eastern Festival event, but it'll spill in here anyhow. It 'spills' everywhere.
 "Well, we have something to last the week."
  It t-takes them that long to scrape the drunks out of the gutters.
 "Fun."
 "Hey, wait."
 "Does Altercations host any Eastern Festival events?"
 * Eric blinks. "I hadn't thought of it. I'm sure they do somethign small, at least - maybe give things out, or plaster their name on, uh, some pretty girl's chest, or soemthing.
 "Can you get someone on finding if they do host anything, then? That could be the opening we need."
 "So no partying?"
  I think so. *yelling* WHO'S NOT DOING ANYTHING?
 * Everyone gets drastcally busier.
 "Some partying."
 "Some ninja action."
 "Variation is always good."
 * Eric decides to pick someone out. Thankfully, his intern walks up to him with a cup of coffee. "Stewart," he says, "Do you knwo anythign about Altercation's preperations for the festival?
  ~Eep~ Uh, no sir, why would I?
* Faith has joined #terranotos
  I need you to find out, then. This is your top priority!
 (don't mind her, she's just here to watch.)
 (yep.)
 (Thought the name looked familar.)
 (*nod* She was here last night, too. In returners. Anyhow!)
  *brightens at the thought of not only Not Working, but Partying for his paycheck* Yes, sir!
 * Stewart extends his hand to the duo. "I'm Stewart, Eric's intern. You need someone to show you around the Festival?"
 "Sure. Any objections?"
 "None at all."
 * Stewart nods. "Then I'l ltake my leave of Eric and get the tour started."
  Do you need to grab anything before we set out? We'll be wandering all around the city.
* Estrain turns to Raza. "Are Jack and Mitzu coming?"
 "Nope, I'm wearing cute shoes."
 "If they want."
 !roll 1d2
 EK|Christopher - 1d2: 1 ( Total: 1 )
 * Jack decides to tag along. Mitzu says she has other stuff to attend to, and says so as forbodingly as possible.
 * Jack, Raza, Desil and Stewart hit the town. First stop... Hm.
 !roll 1d100
 EK|Christopher - 1d100: 39 ( Total: 39 )
 * Stewart leads the party to some minor pavillion, where a local band is playing for a small group.
  The Aritsean pavillion; home to some of the best local talent you'll find. I don't recognize the band on stage right now, but usually it's stuff I know...
  ...Anyhow, places like these're all around the city. You can't go three blocks without finding somethign entertaining.
* Raza begins swaying to the music. "This is nice."
 * Jack doesn't really get it, but meh.
* Estrain isn't really a music person, and wishes it was a bit quieter.
  They sell T-Shirts and stuff at these places, too. Sometimes they'll give out free stuff.
 * stewart begins jamming out for a moment before he remembers what he's supposed to be doing. "Uh, right. Any questions so far?"
 "We should get the name of that band. We could use them later."
* Faith has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
 * Stewart holds up a hand, and from somewhere a small cannon goes off, shooting a T-Shirt into his hand. It has a picture of the badn on it, along with several sponsors - the band's name is The Rascals; one of the sponsors is Altercation.
 "Right, let's forget them then."
  Uh... okay, then.
* Faith has joined #terranotos
 (WB)
 !roll 1d100
 EK|Christopher - 1d100: 18 ( Total: 18 )
 * Stewart leads the trio to a large stage, where two people are havign a complicated swordfight, including humorous insults. People all around are cheering on one side or another.
  A re-enactment of, uh... some important fight, I guess.
 (brb)
 (back)
 "Too fancy. That guy on the left," Estrain points, "should have stabbed just then THERE. The guy on the right is leaving himself open too often. Don't even get me started on how wasteful they are in stabbing at the air..."
* Raza watches the fight. "I'd just cast a spell and call it a day."
 * Off to one side of the fight is a small booth, manned by a very bored Lial company representative. On the right side, there's a similar booth manned by an equally bored Altercation representative.
 "Or shoot the other guy with a crossbow or something."
  ...So, why're both companies here?
  You know... I really don't have any id-
 * The swordsman on the right finally KOs the one on the left, standing triumphantly with one foot on his chest. The Altercation rep. come on stage an congratulates him, and then says that there'll be a ten-minute break before the next fight.
 "Go find out what's going on here."
 "Why did we get the guy who lost the battle again? Seems like a raw deal."
  What, me? I'm just your guide... I show you the pretty tings and make you go 'oooooh!'
 "You're with us to find out what Altercations is doing at this festival."
 "This has to do with Altercations."
  ...Oh.
  Um, right, I'll go ask our rep then.
 * Stewart wanders off ot do jus tthat.
 (tpyos, yay.)
 * Jack, meanwhile, is wondering how someone gets a job like that.
 "I feel kind of like a jerk now. Although I shouldn't, because I'm just making him do his job..."
* Estrain puzzles this out mentally.
* Raza just shrugs.
 * Stewart wanders back. "Apparently, they're a bunch of fake fighters, and each one has truck with either Us or Them. They pick the winners and losers out of a hat backstage."
 "Ah."
 "Have you been able to find out what the score is so far?"
  I think They've been winning a bit more than we have.
 "Then it's mostly fair, I guess. That's fine, then."
  Also, it doesn't seem like anyone's been buying anything. Both the reps are bored out of their skulls.
  had to run to get away from his boredom.
 "Hmm..."
 "What can we do to boost sales?"
 * Jack has an idea, and runs off before anyone can stop him.
 "Jack, stop!"
  Don't worry, Raza, I'll be okay!
 "Let's wait for him."
 * And he's gone.
 "I have a feeling he knows what he's doing."
  So, your friend... Is he, um, insane or anything?
 "Not any more than any of us."
 "Mind, I'm not sure that says much."
  ...I dunno if that's actually the answer I'm looking for, but okay.
 "Speak for yourself."
  What's that supposed to mean?
* ZeroTK has joined #terranotos
 (*wave*)
 (Hi)
 ((hi))
 "Not you, silly."
  Ah.
 * meanwhile, the next fight has gotten on stage.
 (And Jack's the Lial guy.)
 * Jack's on the left, with his Swallow tied up in bandages for less stabbity-effect. On the right, someone who looks vaguely old, also wielding a bandaged Swallow.
 (damn you and your guessing abilitiy!)
 (I had a feeling. >.>)
  Defend yourself, heathen!
 "Nice one, Jack," Estrain mutters, smiling. "Wonder how he managed to convince them."
  Oh, shove it, kid, and put your Swallow where your mouth is!
 * Jack winks at Raza in the audience, and then goes after the old guy.
 "Yeah Jack!!!"

 (At least, if that works the way I think it works)
 * The old guy knocks Jack into the air, and bats him a round a bit before he lands. Jack lands face-first, gets up, panting. "You'll pay for this, wretched spawn of the Church's enemies!"

 * Jack hits the old man iht a dazzling ten-hit combo, knocking him into the stage face-first, swallow skittering across the stage.
 * Jack jumps in to the air, Swallow held above him. "For righteousness!"
 "...I am now considerably more impressed with Jack's fighting ability..."
 * The Lial representative joins him on stage. A few people move to the Lial booth, waiting for a turn to get tehir own Swallow.
 * Jack briefly contemplates crowd-surfing...
 "That's my man!"
 * Jack hops off stage and rejoins Raza and Desil. "So, *pant* whadya think?"
 "Impressive, to say the least."
 * Jack takes the bandages off of his Swalow, and returns it to his inventory. He waves at the curtain beyond the stage in thanks.
 "You're awesome!"
  I thought you might like it. I have a good idea every so often, now, don't I?
 * Jack goes ^_^, scratching the back of his head. If a look could be defined as 'aw, shucks', this'd be it.
 (brb)
* Raza has to restrain herself. "So, you're good with your hands. Are you good with anything else?"
 "Raza..."
 "Fine, fine."
