* ChanServ sets mode: +o ElementalKnight
Oh wow.
*nod* Hey
Sorry I couldn't give notice I'd be here sooner. :P
Meh.
* Serigo is now known as Ladis
My .s are to see if I pinged out.
Ah
It happens a bit, sorry.
No problem
Not much you can do about your connection
As a note, I think Moryssa died at her keyboard. :P
Oh dear.
Hasn't said a thing in about a half-hour
So, fill me in: What's happened?
Not much, really.
Is Ladis dead/undead/incapacitated/ascended to a state of divine conscience?
All of them. At the same time!
No.
He's just sort of... been there
The metaphysical doorstop.
I think.
Zombie Mode.
He's off hugging a tree in the Pallestra Ferratus grounds.
Ladis, no! You'll get splinters in places you really DON'T WANT splinters!
Is the log from last week up?
(Ladis) (to tree) Let's just be friends.
Not much happened, but records are good
I think it is... It wouldn't be at this house either way, though.
Oh, update: Ladis has traded his instrument for a magical crystal ball. Hard as Iron, but controlled mentally. Functions as an instrument.
*nod*
YAY aesthetics.
Nope, the log isn't up.,
But April 3rd's is, and stuf happened *then*.
* ElementalKnight notes that he has a functioning version of Excel on hand, but no idea for plausible monsters o work with...
I can give ya ideas...
Last week: We walked around the campus a bit. We went to the office. RL stuff happened, we paused and eventually stopped
Basically, yes.
EK: Give me a situation and I'll give you a monster. :P
Heh.
I mean,t one that'd work in Ferratus, wouldn't seem too contrived, and would somehow help the whole 'let's advertise' thing.
Hmm.
A teacher, maybe? Or three?
It'd be sort of interesting to fight "doubles".
That's a thought.
A mage, a thief-type, and a fighter
doubles?
A Teacher?
BBIAB
Pallestra Ferratus is like Hogwarts, but for beating things up.
* Ladis wonders if there are Geomancers he can talk with there...
Meh, maybe one or two.
We'll see.
(if I remember. >.>)
* Ladis makes his sphere orbit him like Amakusa.
hello
I haven't died, I just got preoccupied
OMG SHE BE NOT DEAD.
*gasp*
as for monsters, the headmaster/dean may decide that we need to prove our mettle to get a deal with them
*laughs* also a thought.
of course I've also been thinking of other deals and such to work with
?
well more along the lines of the actual negotiation
What level is everyone?
replacing their old equipment. giving students discounts at the Imporium, etc.
4
and 3/4ths :P
* Ladis is no longer in Zombie mode.
brb, getting my drink
* ElementalKnight wonders when Ty will get back.
bavk
back
heh.
wb
* ElementalKnight pokes the Ty.
Kul'll get here late, I assume?
Hey, I live
probably
Survival is specific to certain land types, right? When can I start learning other Survival: xLands?
Hmm. Is it still starred in the Skills chapter?
No.
Why?
That means it's one skill.
...Ok.
Ah.
I always thought it was up in the air.
That's why, say, Animal Training is starred.
Right now I have survival Plains, Swamp, Desert, and Water...
You have different skills for training Chocobos, dogs, whatever.
70, 70, 40, and 40 respectively.
Hmm.
Yet it conflicts in the Detailed section.
It says Survival is specific there...
So can I raise Survival to 80 and put the points in something else, or what?
See last comment
I have no idea now. -.-
my skills don't go past 58
Indeed.
Also, yeah. The current cap is 58.
...:|
50 + 2x ( Level - 1 )
XP
So reduce skills to cap and redistribute points?
Yeah, might be wise to do that.
Anyhow.
Turns out my copy of Excel won't let me actually *edit* things... Curses, you 60-day trial.
that's pretty useless
yes, it is.
So!
We all ready to go, then?
Whenever
yep
* Moryssa is now known as Raza
* Typhoon is now known as Estrain
* ZeroTK has joined #Terranotos
* ElementalKnight is now known as EK|GM
Ladis update submitted.
(Awesome.)
The Mailmoogle comes on screen, plugs in the save card, and reloads File 2. The world reloads around everyone, with them having left off at the frong desk of the main administrative building.
* Ladis comes out of zombie mode.
(So I take it we're NOT doing this while typing backwards? :P)
* Raza waits for the receptionist to get the dean.
(only if I can find a way to do it easily enough)
* Ladis completes the modifications to his weapon. The result is a hovering crystal sphere he can control mentally.
"...as the old man would say... "spiffy."
Oooh... Shiny.
(who the heck is Jack?)
(NPC...)
* Ladis waits for the tidal wave of "you don't know jack" jokes...
* The recetionist checks a document at her desk, and nods. "If you'll follow me, then?" she says, heading off in... whatever diection it was that the Dean is.
* Ladis follows.
* Raza straightens out her dress before following the woman.
* Ladis turns to Raza. "This dean... what's he or she like?"
"I'm not sure. Jack, you went here. What can we expect?"
* Estrain follows Raza, having memorized the map to some small degree.
Ah, he's... I think the nicest way to say it is 'harsh'. Unless you're on his good side. Then he's nice.
"How do we get on his good side?"
It helps if youa ren't rowdy... he's... um, tightlaced.
"I can deal with that."
"Fine with me..."
* The receptionist stops at a set of large double-doors wit ha bench outside. "I'll announce you. Please wait until he calls for you... The Dean can be a bit busy at times."
* Ladis sits down, sending his crystal into a pouch.
* Raza nods. "Thank you."
* The receptionist questlyenters the double-doors, barely leaving any extra space as she does so, and closes them behind her.
* Raza takes a look around for anything she can make small talk to the dean about.
He can also be loud, sometimes. And mean. He's not violent, though, which is a godsend... He'd prolly've ripped someone's head off...
"I can be mean, too."
* Ladis smiles slightly.
"I simply choose to take a more benevolent approach."
"Some people can be mean occasionally. Others have experience."
I mean, Kul-mean. And he gets riled up twice as fast.
* Raza ignores Desil.
And without the personal torment.
"Oh, joy."
* Jack scratches the back of his head, and apologetically say, "yeah..."
* The receptionist peaks her head out the door. "Dean Wyrmer will see you now."
"We'll do fine. Were you a good student, Jack?"
I wasn't a student, really...
* Ladis rises. "Thank you."
* Ladis walks in, trying to look as composed as a geomancer can.
* Jack decides to be at the end of the group, thanks.
* Estrain nods, straightens up, and walks in, smiling slightly. ~This should be interesting.~
* The room itself is nice and ordered, with many achievements on the walls - pictures, awards, a trophy or two. Most of them are Ferratus-born; a few, behind his desk, clearly say Thaddeus J. Wyrmer at their bases.
* Raza blinks at him but doesn't have time to respond. Holding her head up, Raza walks into the deans office and heads to the front of the group. "Hello Dean Wyrmer."
(I wanna make an art roll, just in case)
(go for it)
!roll d100
Raza - d100: 93 ( Total: 93 )
* The Dean rises and shakes Raza's hand. "I've heard a thing or two about you. Lial, right?"
(oi)
* Raza doesn't notice anything interesting about the trophies or pictures in the room.
* The pictures, likewise, don't notice anything baout Raza.
* Estrain sizes up the dean mentally. ~If those trophies say anything, then he was a quite a warrior in his time. I wonder if he's kept it up when he went to the desk job.~
(...._
* Jack walks int the room, the last of the group. The Dean immediately fixes his eyes on him and stares intently.
"Yes sir. It's a pleasure meeting you. You have a wonderful facility. These are my companions, Estrain, Ladis, Kul'Vier and Jack."
(The pictures...?)
* Ladis makes an awareness check, taking in his surroundings...
!roll 1d100
Ladis - 1d100: 23 ( Total: 23 )
(43)
* Estrain bows slightly, but keeps his eyes on the dean. "Nice to meet you, sir."
Oh, Jack I know. Your other companions, however... *deep breaht* Sit down, please. What did you want to discuss with me?
* The room seems to have had its fair share of travails underneath its veneer of cleanliness. It's been put back together a few times, according to the paint on the walls.
* Ladis raises an eyebrow.
* Ladis lowers it quickly.
"I have to decline, sir. I find I'm more comfortable on my feet. Surely you don't mind?"
* Raza takes a seat and after her companions have done the same she gestures out to a nearby window. "We've had the pleasure of watching some of your staff and students in action and would like to supply you with top of the line Liial equipment."
* Ladis sits, not saying anything. Odd, those walls...
"Armors, weapons, accessories, even tonics and potions for your infirmary."
Fair enough. I admit, I am quite proud of... most... of my students here. And we're always open to new training equipment.
* Ladis puts two and two together. This guy's either had a bad run in with some students or they've had a bad run in with him.
I assume, of course, that this wouldn't be *completely* free.
~Most. Interesting choice of words.~ Estrain narrows his eyes for half a second, thinking, before shrugging it off. ~We'll find out when we do. Until then, I'm keeping an eye on this man.~
* Jack glances around a bit. Nervous much?
* Ladis eyes Jack.
* Estrain notes this with a quick glance and nods slightly.
* Raza shakes her head and smiles. "No. We will immediately exchange all of your older equipment free of charge. But Lial Inc. also expects you to use our equipment exclusively. After this shipment, you will be expected to buy our equipment and wholesale price, but all students and alumni would get a 10% discount on their purchases at the Emporium."
* Ladis smiles at this. Raza is quite the fast-talker.
Exclusivity... I expected as much, but no matter. It would take time to exchange all old equipment, and we wouldn't go after any student equipment bought fair and square, Lial brand or not.
~Interesting choice. Unless we have a long, long partnership here, or they replace equipment very, very often, that's a loss for quite a while.~
"We don't intend to replace equipment owned by students, of course."
"It's their property, and we don't have the legal rights to, after all."
* Raza nods. "Estrain's correct."
Wholesale price may get prohibitive, however. Can you reove the 10% discount on Emporium items and move that to wholesale? With that, you'd be slightly cheaper than our current deal.
We've had odd offers alogn those lines in the past. Boilerplate to get that out now.
* Ladis doesn't say anything, but wonders if this guy cares more about students or his own pocketbook.
"I'd prefer the students get the discount, but if we give the school a 5% discount and the students and alumni the same, I'd say that was a fair bargain."
Hm...
I think we can live with that. I can get the paperwork for the deal ready by tomorrow, and the armoury can be ceared out in time for next semester.
"Great. We'll take your old equipment off your hands as we replace them."
* Wyrmer nods. "of course. Now... Jack, what're you doing back here? It's been *years*."
"He's currently on Lial's payroll."
Finally found something worth doing with your life, then?
Yes, sir.
Not hanging out with the likes of your *old* friends, are you now?
* Ladis narrows his eyes slightly.
N-no, sir.
~Wait, wait, wait. Are they related?~
"He's with us, now. A great boon, if I might add."
"Old friends?" Raza asks.
Jack's had a history here. Never an official student, and never convicted of anything, but he came very, *very* close.
~I take that as a 'no'. It was a remote chance, anyway.~
"History being the key word. Whatever mistakes he may of made or was percieved making, he seems to of learned from."
one of the local farm boys we allow around the campus - doing odd jobs and picking up what they can from watching. Many of them get into trouble, ut Jack managed to... well, we won't go there.
* Ladis keeps his tone smooth.
"What could Jack have done to almost get arrested?"
Directly? Provably? Nothing.
"Don't preach, Ladis," Estrain muttered.
* Ladis nods, sits back. Obviously Geomancer philosphy should not be dispensed.
But there have been incidents in the past where there was a *very* high chance of him being involved. Most of those *incidents* were begun by his old friends.
A suggestion, Ms. Lial; don't associate with Jack's former associates. he may be reformed, but they *never* will be.
~So in other words, you needed a scapegoat, and found Jack.~
"Hmm."
* Raza nods. "Thank you for the warning."
"Any idea where they are? Or who they are?"
Ooooh yes.
"If they feel like a reunion, I'd like to have descriptions handy."
* Ladis notes the enthusiam in that affirmation...
They don't need a reunion. Despite my best efforts, they're still here, at Ferratus.
(Or was that loathing? He's not sure.)
* Raza isn't quite surprised. "Then I think we've already had the pleasure of meeting them."
Do tell.
"I doubt it."
"When you've had the growing up I have, you learn to recognize dangerous people."
(Dean Wyrmer? DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION)
"It clings to them, in a way."
It does indeed...
* Wyrmer takes a deep breath again, and his loathing eems to dissapear some.
Now then... Unpleasantries behind us, is ther eanythign else to discuss?
~Surgical removal of the brick up your ass aside, no.~
"We'd just like your permission to tour and at times interact with the students. It gives us a better idea of their wants and needs."
Of course. What few restricted areas there are are so only for protection of the student body; everything else is perfectly open.
~Next Stop: Most Restricted Area, with decimation and ruination of all undoubtably precious and iireplacable contents within said area.~
"Thank you. Though, out of curiousity, what do you need to protect the student body from?"
~ORGIES!~
Plenty. mostly items that would tea them asunder if they were to get their hands on them.
~My secret stash of TaruTaru harlots!~
(Ladis is a very, very dirty geomancer.)
"Magical weapons?"
(He has Kul for a friend.)
(Nuff said.)
* Wyrmer nods. "I'd prefer not to go into details. Secrecy is a must."
(Kul isn't dirty, just angsty.)
"I understand."
~Can't have anyone know I'm trying to combine dead mithra babies and live trout into my new superweapon!~
"Understood. Though if you ever need any help, Lial Inc would be more than happy to help you analyze your whares."
Indeed.
* Wyrmer moves to the door, opens it, and begins to step out - when he is hit full-on by a stream of high-pressure water. And another. And a third, knocking him on his arse.
* Ladis is somehow keeping a straight face.
* Ladis jawdrops.
* Raza sighs... "So much for this going well," she mutters.
* Wyrmer looks at the wall beyond his door, where three bits of crystal hang on the wall, forming a primitive triangle.
"What in the name of holy Jehovah!?"
* Ladis looks at where he's looking.
* Estrain flips his boomerangs out and moves in front of Wyrmer.
* Wyrmer clecnhes his sopping-wet fist, attempts to hold in his anger,and fail horribly. "DELTAAAAAAAAAAAS!"
* Ladis whips out his orb.
(The crystal one.)
* Kulvier has joined #terranotos
"I take it these are the troublemakers."
* Raza rushes over to Wyrmer's side and attempts to help him up. "Please calm down. Just tell us what's going on and we'll help you."
(Heya, Kul.)
"There are ways to deal with trouble-makers."
((Hey, we just finished negotiating and now the dean's been sprayed w/ water))
Nothing for you *to* do. It's just those damn Deltas at it again... i'll get them yet, mark my words!
* Ladis refrains from laughing at the dean's come uppance.
(Howdy. No sense in greetings, i'll just jump right in)
You better not have had anything to do with this, Jack!
(Go for it. Don't mind the puddle.)
* Ladis sighs.
"Don't blame him, Dean."
"I've been with him every step of the day."
(Puddle??? You pee on the flood again Est?)
"He was with us the whole time."
"If he has done anything, I'd know."
"Me and Mitzu can vouch."
* Ladis would very much like to meet these Deltas...
* The receptionist hurries into the doorway, slips a little on the leftover water, and looks around. "Everything all right, Dean Wyrmer?"
"Dean, tell us what you know. Perhaps it's time they learn a lesson."
* Estrain moves to the side, flipping one boomerang back and keeping the other at hand.
~On how to really get your goat.~
NO everything is not all right! Get those specks of spesix on the wall analyzed.
"Oh...yes...I'd like to offer my services as a teacher when I'm done adventuring."
And fetch the Delta's file.
Kul was forcing a seeming impartial look on his face while offering to be a teacher.
"Not now, Kul."
~Yeoboy.~
"Awwww...."
"Hey, Raza. Anything you can see about that spesix?"
* Wyrmer gets up, still wet. "If you all don't mind, we can discuss any further *glances at Kul* matters later. I now have other things to attend to."
"You had a couple of spesix crystals that cast a water spell earlier. Maybe these are similar."
"But...Ra~za~..." Kul was going to protest but stopped and hugged Mitzu instead.
* Wyrmer walks off in a moist huff.
* Ladis turns to Jack.
* Raza walks up to the spesix and checks it out.
* Mitzu hugs back, having hanged back while the debacle occured. "Just bad timing, Kul..."
!roll d100
Raza - d100: 98 ( Total: 98 )
Kul grins, scenting the annoyance from Wyrmer.
"Nice friends. Can we meet them?"\
* The Spesix is obviously oregano flavooured.
* Ladis looks at the Spesix. What the heck is this stuff?
"I think I'm still a bit too excited about the deal to concentrate."
!roll 1d100
* the receptionist walks into the room with a folder in one hand and a towel in the other. "He walked off, I take it?"
Ladis - 1d100: 67 ( Total: 67 )
Kul knelt down and tasted it, to see if he could tell how long ago it was made. (cooking skill)
* Estrain examines them, comparing them to what he remembered about the spesix crystals.
"Yes."
!roll 1d100
Estrain - 1d100: 53 ( Total: 53 )
!roll d100
Kulvier - d100: 58 ( Total: 58 )
(Spesix is a mineral.)
(grah, dice!)
(It isn't cooked. -.-)
(Rats...)
"He didn't seem to be happy."
(He was saying "botch", basically.)
(Tastes good anyway. :P)
* Ladis doesn't notice anything either, really. but Kul and Desil can note that they aren't very high-quality at all - really, really low quality.
Kul took the file from the receptionist. "Aye...he was utterly annoyed. I feel sorry for whoever gets sent to him next."
* The receptionist leaves the folder on the desk - "I assume the Dean was going to show you this anyway" - and walks off, towel in hand.
"...You know....'cheap' seems to fit that stuff quiet nicely."
* Ladis opens the folder and examines it."
"As I thought. That was a lot weaker than the crystals Raza had..."
"Lesee here."
"That's good. Those Water gems pack a punch if the right person uses them."
* The folder contains many, many written repots of siilar pranks of varying scale - from gluing coffee cups to tables, to nearly tearing down a building. No one has ever been completely proven guilty, but an unofficial group of students calling theselves the 'Deltas' seems to be the best bet.
"Well...cheap ingrediants, cheap user. I think the combination fits.'
"Oh, oh... someone's been busy."
"The question," Estrain muttered, "is whether we should stick our noses into this."
"On one hand, it's not our business. On the other, it's a good chance to impress the Dean."
"...glued coffee cups... holy crap, they nearly wrecked a building."
* Gale has joined #terranotos
* Kulvier has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
"They've managed to evade conviction of any of the offenses..."
(grrr)
(What did you see last?)
"Well, not even I can say I've nearly dropped a building. They're getting bold if you ask me. It won't be long until people start getting hurt."
(I didn't miss anything.)
* Jack, having been completely silent all this tim, begins laughing at the whole situation. He leans against a wall, convulsing in laughter.
"I think we might as well check it out. Of course, letting them wreck our new equipment seems like a great way for us to get them replace things easier."
"Jack...what if it was you?"
(Seriously, what did you?)
"What the..."
* Ladis smiles.
"I take it you had a hand in this?"
(When you ping out, you miss parts.)
(Ladis' post about the nearly toppled building.)
(Alright, didn't. Making sure)
(told ya. :P)
* Jack waves a hand dismissively, still laughing. He get a breaht in, and says, "N-no, but, but, it's just like the old days..."
"Maybe we could meet your friends. Ask them to tone things down."
"Cutting the jokes short of toppling a building."
"As years drag on, people change. Jack, what if they get bored with 'simple pranks' and people start getting hurt? Will it be funny then?"
~No. It'll be hilarious.~
"Not to mention the fact that innocent people could get into trouble because of them."
The building thing? That was an accident... One of the Dean's favorite students tied a few of our Chocobos to the house where the Deltas were staying...
"Yeah...like us. Or you! THe Dean nearly pegged you Jack."
"Ah."
Deltas never harm, only humiliate to th' extreme.
~Yay!~
"Say that had been a bit stronger than they thought, Jack."
"So do I Jack. It's time they taste humiliation. Maybe they won't be so hasty to dish it out by being on the recieving end."
"Raza's spesix crystals nearly tore parts of that mech off, and that was the toughest thing I've ever seen."
"Heh heh heh." Kul chuckled darkly. "Not to mention what my strength can do. Need I remind you I nearly took that mech's leg off?"
I bet those crystals are made more like a cup of water than a cast of Water. real, combat magic just ain't a delta's style.
"After the rest of us had weakened it greatly, yes, Kul."
"Still, I think it'd be nice to meet them, Jack."
"Mmm."
* Estrain flips a coin.
!roll 1d2
Estrain - 1d2: 1 ( Total: 1 )
Kul grunted and leaned against the wall. "...Where's Delta house, Jack."
~Well, well. A risk-taker, are you, Lady Luck?~
Y'all aren't gonna hurt anyone, are ya?
"Nope."
"I'll try to keep a reign on my temper. Mitzu's been helping me with that."
"I have no reason to."
* Mitzu nods. ~Hurrah for the system of positive rewards~
"I'm not going to hurt anyone."
"Show them that continuing on their present path is unwise?"
"Possibly."
Good. Just off campus, an ol' farmhouse... I can show ya, if you want.
"Great."
"Maybe just one smack in the head...if they get mouthy..." Kul said aside.
(So of course you all call me on the bluff. Whee.)
(Of course.)
*Jack gets off the wall and heads out the door, stepping over the puddle. "Alright, c'mon."
* Raza grabs Jack's hand. "Lead the way."
(Avoid trouble? Pshaw.)
( >:) When had Kul EVER avoided the painful path?)
Kul walked beside Mitzu. "What do you think about this? You think it'd escalate if nothing were left unchallenged?"
* Gale is now known as Kulvier
* After a few minutes, the party leaves the campus behind and finds an old dirt road. "Just down thisaway..."
* Estrain keeps an eye out. ~Who knows. Maybe they keep an eye on people on their turf. Caution never hurt anyone.~
* Ladis brings out his orb, which he makes to orbit him like a satelite.
Kul sighed lightly and glanced around him. Checking for traps or the sorts* ...
* Jack leads the group to an old, semi-broken-down white house, with a few Chocobo tied up to a post nearby. "Here we are!"
"Are they home?"
Ol' Delta house... *shrug* Maybe. I can find out.
Kul grinned and walked over to the Bo's, untying them. "No running for them>"
"Don't Kul.
"They need those to get to class."
"Bo's are loyal. They'll mill about no far away."
* Ladis makes kwehing noises to the chocobo.
Don't hurt 'em, now.
* Jack walks up to the doo, and gives a few distinctive knocks. It opens up, and a moment later, a cheer comes up fro mthe house's entirety.
(brb)
"Looks like our friend's popular here."
((I hate to do this again, but now *I have a friend in crisis. If you need to fight, you know Raza's tactics. I'll leave the channel open in case, but no promises))
* Raza is now known as Raza_AFK
"I'm not going to hurt them Jack." Kul looked at the others. "Ok...if I get pranked, I'm gonna lay someone out on the floor..."
* Ladis walks up to the door.
* Estrain keeps a reasonable distance, keeping an eye on the procedings.
Kul's muscles were taunt, in case he neede to react quickly. He said he wouldn't hut them, but that didn't mean he couldn't pin them to the ground or give them a correctively stiff-arm to thr gut.
* Ladis has his crystal under his cloak, ready to zip out and zap anyone who tries anything stupid.

Hey, hey, hey!
(Crap, back.)
(had to clean up, fold laundry, move laundry, and put a CD on sis' MP3 Player.)
(I saw Raza go poof. What else did I miss?)
(nothing)
(except for me returning)
(oh. Friend okay?)
(she'll live, if I don't kill her outta frustration)
(Been there. Anyhow, do we wanna try and get back to it, take a break, or what?)
get back to it.
(yep)
(Sure)
(one sec)
(s'ry. Now then! *thinks*)
(you all had approached the house, right?)
I did first.
(okay.)
* From what bit of the inside of the house that ladis can see, it's as run-down as the outside. Jack is moving (or, rather, being moved) through a gaggle of students inside, all chattering and asking about this or that.
~Well, blast. Way too many people.~
"Yow."
Hey, guys, this' Delta House. Deltas, these're, uh, friends ah mine.
* Estrain nods.
"Hi, folks."
* The students inside quickly yank Ladis in.
* The inside of the house is... eclecticly decorated, to say the least. old signs, sheathed swords, and random kncknacks line the walls.
* The students begi nintroducing themselves, but said introductions are lost to the noise.
* Raza shakes her head. Kids.
* Mitzu stays back, makign sure Kul doesn't charge in and maim someone.
* Jack manages to find somewhere to stand above the throng, and yells to get their attention. "Hey, HEY!"
Look, I know you're all excited to see me again, and it's good to be back. BUT! My friends are worried 'bout y'all. They kinda know what they're doing; trouble hangs offa them like Wyrmer's toupee.
* Jack directs everyone's attention to the door, where, at least, Ladis was.
Kul walked through the door, with a frown of annoyance on his face. "Deltas, eh?"
* Ladis waves.
(Sorry, munchy attack)
(lol)
(I now have HGttG, The Art of War, a tech review and The NEws From Lake Wobegon on my MP3 player. whoO!)
"I'd personally like to congratulate you folks for your selfless efforts to keep the dean hydrated."
* A bunch, but not all, of the students laugh.
* Raza follows inside and makes her way towards Jack.
"I'd like to personally see that the pranks STOP, least they get out of hand."
Out of hand like Wyrmer's *ion* and?
*hand
(ion?)
...
*iron
(Prepare the Ion Ampersand, commander!)
Kul raised his hand and clentched a fist as tight as he could, making the gauntlet's metal stress. (Intim)

"I... yeeeoboy."
"To be direct..."
"What's the point?"
"I haven't seen any reason for you to pull pranks on him, other than because it's fun...
"...or to get back for something?"
That an' he's... whatzaword... Stifled creativiy!
He wants ta keep e'eryone in line - fight th' same way, learn th' same way...
"He's trying to keep you alive. Pranks won't keep yopu alive out there."
"Learn to walk before you try to run, much less fly."
"Everything he's TRYING to teach you is the basic fondation.'
* Ladis gets at the back of his group/
* A few students in the back begin to heckle - not just the newcomes, but Jack too.
* Ladis whips out his orb.
* Ladis uses it as a seat.
"...I see a demostation is in order." Kul cracked his knuckles and begins to growl darkly.
"I'm just asking that you not get people or their property hurt... ah, Gaia."
* Jack blinks. "Oh boy..."
* Ladis sighs.
* Raza sighs.
* Ladis gets up, and puts his orb behind his back.
* Mitzu thinks of saying something, but then thinks better of it.
"Kul, roughing random people up will NOT help the situation."
"You left the way of the past... remember?"
* Estrain turns around and begins to walk out. "I am NOT getting in a pointless fight, Kul."
"If you unsheath your sword, you do it alone."
* Soem students grab theirweapons, perfectly ready for Somethign To Happen. They don't draw, however.
"Ohhhh boy."
"I'm not going to hurt anyone. Just make a point. If I hit you, you'll start listening to these classes." Kul stalked towards the Deltas.
"KULVIER."
"Kul, stop!"
Kul took off his sword and let it fall to the ground.
(Command!)

Kul frowned and looked at Raza.
(stupid advantage changes)
* The Deltas stare at what's happening. A wave of Whisky Tango Foxtrot washes over the.
*them
"Puh-lease Kul, after your enlightenment, it's a wonder anyone can take you seriously."
(what?)
(whisky tango foxtrot? whazzat?)
((she does the finger quotes for enlightenment))
(WTF, Serigio)
(It's Military lingo)
(yay reference)
(It's listening intently)
(Ok.)
"You guys, go on out. I'm used to this. I think I can negotiate a cease-fire on the worst of the pranks."
"I want they to stop all together. Why prank the Dean or anyone? If they want to prove his teaching are close-minded. Take it to the arena and show him."
That would kinda get them killed.
(which, of course, he's not. He intends to only encourage them.)
"Really."
"Why do you say that?"
"No, in the ring you fight as equals. Not enemy. it's to learn."
"You're a Geomancer, not a fighter."
* Estrain turns around. "Frankly, if he's responsible for anyone's death, the legal system could come down on his ass like a ton of mythril."
Wyrmer's been known to get... caught up in things.
"Oi..."
"Hey, Kul. Thinking what I'm thinking?"
* Jack hops down and heads for the party.
"He needs to be shown non-standard ways of fighting, right?"
Kul grinned at Enstrain. "Way ahead of you."
"On the other hand, these people are afraid of dying. You and I, on the other hand, are batshit insane, so we're not worried!"
"But this time YOU be the demostator. My head still hurts."
* Mitzu laughs.
* Jack blinks. "Uh, y'all might wanna take this outside, then... the ol' Delta House won't take much more of anything.
"I've been dead befor." He looked at Mitzu. "I'm alive now."
?
Kul looked at the Delta and snarled. "Everyone outside...now..."
"Ignore him."
"Anyway, let's go outside."
* Ladis sighs.
*So does Jack. He turns to the Deltas, "I'm watching. Dunno about y'all."
* A few follow behind Jack and the party.
* Ladis goes outside, and practices with his orb...
* Raza just shakes her head. This day started off so well.
Kul picked up his sword and walked outside. "So...who wants to try to hit me first?"
* The Deltas who've followed collectively blink.
"hhhoooooooo boy."
* Estrain does as well.
* A moment or two later, one comes forth - older than he should be for attending Ferratus, carrying a spear and wearing a leather jacket and goggles. He shrugs.
"Fists only, Ladis, you missed this the other day. So, I'd appreciate you holding your jeers."
* Ladis shakes his head.
"Yeesh, I thought we came to ask them to stop the serious stuff, not knock them flying."
Kul looks and him and tosses his sword aside. "This is one way Ladis. Fighters respect eachother for skill."
"...Fine."
"It's a law. Any who follow the path of the sword know that."
* The begoggled man drops his spear casually, still not speaking.
* Ladis moves away from the group.
Kul nods to the man. "You may go first if you choose."
* He nods, considers Kul for a moment, and goes after him. (classic best-of-five dice duel?)
(Yup.)

"Was that a bone?"
* He grunts in pain and goes to his knees. "Yeah. Yeah, that was a bone. Lucky bastard..."
* A few other deltas rush forward to help him back to the crowd.
"well, now we've got an injured."
"I'm not lucky, just skilled."
"Not that skilled if you hurt a student. Couldn't you wait until after the contract was signed you ditz?"
"An injury is a lesson. Had they listened to the lessons being taught, he'd have been able to guard against that."
"Do you not agree?" He looked at Deltas.
* A few murmer, a few dismiss Kul and go back inside, and the rest are just trying to make heads or tails of what's just happened.
Kul growled at those trying to leave. (Intim to gain their attention)

*The few confused now focuse on Kul.
"You saw what I did, without trying... Ignor you lessons and continue pranking and where will that get you? When you go into the real world, how long will you last? I'd suggest you stop these pranks and pay more heed to your studies."
(gotta go, dinner awaits.)

* Ladis has quit IRC (Quit: )
(So, Ladis is out, and Ty is out. you two wanna keep going, gaiden it up, or quit?)
