BossManAlfa ASA: ~~~~START SIM~~~~
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt stands there at the entrance of the cave:: I'm a LEADER here?!
LtCJoeASA: :::he looks over to Atlanta:: I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS!
BossManAlfa ASA: ::Dazed:: Yes. And I'm your leader.
BossManAlfa ASA: Neither did I.
LtCJoeASA: So what the hell we gonna do now ?
BossManAlfa ASA: ::slowly walks down, pausing for a moment to point at Vin:: And he is a...font for energies.
BossManAlfa ASA: Now we're going to figure something out.
LtCJoeASA: Obviously.
AmbKoshASG: ::Smiles to the stranger:: Vel jiera pren essal? (What is the hierarchy?) ::Referring to their evident roles as leaders::
Mushin Yiqi: I'm a... a what ?
LtCJoeASA: ::he looks to Vin:: You're an Italian, get over it.
BossManAlfa ASA: An Influencer.
Mushin Yiqi: ::Shakes an admonishioning finger at Matt::
LtCJoeASA: ::simply smirks for but a moment, then looks back to Atlanta:; So, Rico here gets to maneuver our way through these people, eh?
BossManAlfa ASA: I suppose.
AmbKoshASG: ::Sighs:: If they'll answer me.
LtCJoeASA: I wonder if they can understand us..
BossManAlfa ASA: (Stranger) (She is the JedalKunk...no. willbe JhedalKunk. You are the keeper of the Archives. That one - ::points to Mux:: is an Influencer. And you ::to Matt:: are
BossManAlfa ASA: the warrior and the general.)
LtCJoeASA: ::looks to Rico:: What'd he say?
AmbKoshASG: ::Looks to Matt:: Nothing new.
Mushin Yiqi: Yeah, what's the deal?
LtCJoeASA: No, really. Talk-ish.
Mushin Yiqi: He pointed at Matt & I.
LtCJoeASA: yeah, I wanna know when I'm involved.
BossManAlfa ASA: (Ahh, I should explain our history? I was told it would be remembered. Are none of you Mal'kash?)
LtCJoeASA: ::he crosses his arms and looks at Rico, staring a hole into his forehead::
AmbKoshASG: Then I guess you'd better learn the language, huh, Matt?
BossManAlfa ASA: Tsai. Atlanta ri at'ten ri Mal'kasha Eto.
LtCJoeASA: ::grumbles::
Mushin Yiqi: Rico, you never learned the language. You already know it.
Mushin Yiqi: Now what'd they say? Please?
AmbKoshASG: ::To Vin:: He just said you're "The Influencer."
LtCJoeASA: What about me? C'mon, Rico, tell me!
Mushin Yiqi: Where'd Atlanta learn to - oh, now I'm just absolutely confused...
BossManAlfa ASA: I'm speaking a different language yet, one that stills lives. I learned it when I was very young.
AmbKoshASG: I don't know what she just said. It's different.
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt just stares at Atlanta:: ...oro?
BossManAlfa ASA: ::shruggs:: ::looks up to the sky:: I am so weak I can hardly stand. But I --- ::looks at the appearant speaker of the crowd::
LtCJoeASA: ::blinks yet again...he's gonna be doing a lot of that::
BossManAlfa ASA: Ri SaSaturn...comrati Atalanta?
BossManAlfa ASA: ::nods::
BossManAlfa ASA: Stranger: Very well. The Archivist can translate. JhedalKunk, with all respect..your grammar sucks.
AmbKoshASG: ::Crosses his arms:: Decros DzaNaran... Vi felai zubal. ((Only keeper of the archives... how disappointing for me.))
jbester1: ::A Hiker unexpectedly arrives and appears confused. He promptly decides to sit down , and sort out who these people are and why they are in his path.::
BossManAlfa ASA: ::totally doesn't notice the hiker::
LtCJoeASA: ::stands over near Vin:: So, um...you have no clue what they're talking about either, right?
Mushin Yiqi: ::Throws his arms up in defeat:: An Influencer ... what do I Influence ? ::He asks unto no one... and then realizes there's one more person in here than there was a moment ago. He doesn't approach Tobias yet, though::
Mushin Yiqi: ::Looking to Matt:: No idea.
LtCJoeASA: Hey, at least you're something! Rico won't tell me what I am...
AmbKoshASG: A jerk?
BossManAlfa ASA: (We are what remains of the vast Atlantien Empire. A civil war broke out...the empire was all but destroyed. JhedalKunk Atalanta put us in an alternate dimension with no dimension of time)
Mushin Yiqi: Maybe you're his superior, and he doesn't want you bossing him around. Frankly, I wouldn't tell if you were, either. ::Snickers wryly::
AmbKoshASG: I have plenty to say about what Matt is.
LtCJoeASA: ::smirks:: Don't blame h---what?
LtCJoeASA: ::sparks seem to fly out of his eyes in a stare at Rico::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::In the silence Gabe wanders his way towards the cave to test out some new pyro related items he has gotten, not looking up he does not see anyone till he almost runs into Atlanta::
BossManAlfa ASA: Boys!
AmbKoshASG: Oh... God forbid I give you a hard time.
BossManAlfa ASA: You!
BossManAlfa ASA: Everyone shuttup.
LtCJoeASA: But this is life and death stuff! Sorta...
BossManAlfa ASA: Rico, listen to the lovely Atlantien.
Mushin Yiqi: ::Vin glances over in Gabe's direction, and furrows his brow, mumbling beneath his breath:: What is this, some kind of weirdo convention...?
BossManAlfa ASA: You. stay right there until I'm done with this insanity and then you can explain why you just walked into me holding a moltov cocktail.
Mushin Yiqi: ::Turns to Atlanta::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: Umm... Ok... ::sits down on a nearby rock::
BossManAlfa ASA: (When your race evolved enough, Atalanta designed this city to call you together, here...and for the enfluencer to pull us back to this dimension to help you rebuild the empire.)
AmbKoshASG: I listened... I thought he was talking to you. He said they're the last of the Atlanteans and that JhedalKunk Atalanta put them in another dimension
AmbKoshASG: ::Relays that to the others, as well::
LtCJoeASA: ::blinks, listening::
Mushin Yiqi: ::Listens carefully, keeping an eye on Gabe and Toby::
BossManAlfa ASA: (So...We need to outfit you with proper armour do we not? And clothing. You wear such rags!)
BossManAlfa ASA: (Predictably enough...the warrior needs a bath.)
AmbKoshASG: Hey, this happens to be Nauti-... ::Cracks up::
LtCJoeASA: ::if he'd heard that, a lot of snarling would ensue::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::toys with a lighter and a rather oversized bottle of cologne::
LtCJoeASA: ::instead, he just looks at Rico:: What's so funny?
Mushin Yiqi: ::Whispers to Matt:: That guy either doesn't like you or has somethin' to say about you.
AmbKoshASG: ::Stops laughing sharply and looks to Matt:: Nothin'.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::looks to Gabe:: OK. My name is Atlanta. Who are you, and please don't burn me, I'm ill enough as it is.
AmbKoshASG: ::Back to the Atlantean:: Dzieros dran. (I like you.)
LtCJoeASA: Okay...::he nods to Vin::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::Snickers lightly:: Im GaBrielle, Gabe for short. I was looking for somewhere to test something out when i ran into you guys . . .
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: which leads me to my question, who the hell are you all?
Mushin Yiqi: Atlanta, what about that guy over there? ::Gestures to Tobias::
jbester1: ::stands up::
Mushin Yiqi: Come here, please! ::He calls to Toby::
jbester1: ::walks slowly over::
BossManAlfa ASA: ::grins at Gazebo::
LtCJoeASA: ::blinks:: Where did THESE people come from?
AmbKoshASG: Not Atlantis.
Mushin Yiqi: That one was hiking, and this one wants to blow something up. ::He gestures to Toby and Gabe, respectively::
LtCJoeASA: Fire's sorta cool, but...nevermind.
jbester1: That guy as you so aptly put, is named Tobias. No more, no less. I think perhaps, I might have wandered abit off the path.
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: I prefer it to be called, 'demolition'
Mushin Yiqi: ::Gives a laugh of a single huff::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: it sounds so much nicer, dont you think?
LtCJoeASA: ::blinks:: You've wandered into more than you can handle.
BossManAlfa ASA: ok, great. everyone can we all stop talking for a moment!?
Mushin Yiqi: I don't like euphemisms. ::Turns his attention to Atlanta and goes quiet::
BossManAlfa ASA: ::smiles serenely::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::leans back waiting for atlants to say something::
AmbKoshASG: ::Turning back to the Atlantean, looking sheepish:: Sodran ka Legas dzora evus? (Are you sure I'm not a prince or something?")
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt shuts the fuck up, simply put::
BossManAlfa ASA: If you are here, you are here because you are needed. Otherwise the licougars would have eaten you - if I'm understanding things right. Which I think I am.
BossManAlfa ASA: Rico, tell the one we've been talking to follow me and for the others...to...umm...start with the good stuff.
AmbKoshASG: Good stuff?
BossManAlfa ASA: ::Shruggs:: whatever. making armour. :::shruggs helplessly:: I need a smaller group to talk to. ::Starts walking to a gazebo nearby::
Mushin Yiqi: Armor...? ::Asks under his breath, to himself, and then starts sniffing the air speculatively::
AmbKoshASG: ::Translates and relays her message::
BossManAlfa ASA: Oooh! Tell them to get drinks, I'm parched! Now, everyone over here. we're gonna work through all this.
LtCJoeASA: I like armor...
Mushin Yiqi: ::Looks at Gabe:: ... you reek of explosive substances.
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: So...?
LtCJoeASA: ::starts wandering over to Atlanta:: I think it smells industrial...heh.
jbester1: ::follows::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: It's a wonderful smell, ode de bomb, CK's latest
Mushin Yiqi: ::Mumbles:: Hope you know what you're doing... ::Walks over to Atlanta::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::follows group::
BossManAlfa ASA: ~~Happening~~ ((It's not an action per se))
BossManAlfa ASA: The Atlantien and the group quietly sort out the basics. which is that yes, if they are here, they're needed. They were picked for inate gifts using means that would leave us crosseyed trying to understand.
BossManAlfa ASA: Matt is the warrior and the general.
Mushin Yiqi: ::Cue neat-lookin' cutscenes with flashy backgrounds and techno music where everyone does an impressive pose as they're listed::
BossManAlfa ASA: Vin is the equivelent of a magician - he makes the energy that weaves the pattern of the world want to do what he also wants it to do.
BossManAlfa ASA: Gabe....is the demolitions expert....and incharge of the camp fire.
BossManAlfa ASA: Rico is the bard...and possibly more, but here Bask, as he identifies himself, is reluctant to go into detail.
LtCJoeASA: Oh no...
LtCJoeASA: ::snickers:: Bard...
BossManAlfa ASA: Tobias is the scholar and keeper of knowledge. The one who will understand the marvels of technology and history we will encounter.
AmbKoshASG: ::Frowns a bit:: Shut up! I'm an actor.
LtCJoeASA: I'm a general. I'm cooler.
BossManAlfa ASA: Atlanta is, effectively the one to hold us together and lead them....and the human whose evolution triggered the settlement to start calling people together.
BossManAlfa ASA: ((damnit! Scott should be here for this next bit!>>
Mushin Yiqi: (( Make him everyone's bitch as punishment! ))
BossManAlfa ASA: Scott is the healer :P
BossManAlfa ASA: The group also learns that Atlanta's illness is not an illness but a sudden evolution - from human to Atlantien (long stuff, will explain in email).
AmbKoshASG: I feel like I should walk around in Baroque costume and narrate our lives... Bard.
Mushin Yiqi: (( She will be instinctively drawn to large cities where she will reverse street signs, clog sewers and steal everyone's left shoe. ))
BossManAlfa ASA: ~~~~~end happening~~~~
LtCJoeASA: Yeah, so, I can dig that.
BossManAlfa ASA: OK, I give. so now what the fuck do we do?
Mushin Yiqi: ::After a long silence, he says philosophically:: I'm a magician.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::grins as the three all speak at once::
AmbKoshASG: ::Kicks the dirt and looks generally pouty at the unwillingness to go into detail on the part of the Atlantean guide.::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: Blow something up?
LtCJoeASA: No!
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: Just a suggestion . . .
LtCJoeASA: Where do we get our cool rooms in a castle beyond here?
Mushin Yiqi: Rico, it's probably for the best. You're likely to learn more about yourself than he could have told you if you just let go.
BossManAlfa ASA: No, seriously. Me? Evolving?
LtCJoeASA: That's freaky ass shit, yo.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::blinks at Vin.:: *When the hell did he get so wise*
BossManAlfa ASA: no shit. OK, you--- tobias. What are your thoughts?
Mushin Yiqi: (( ... he's been talking like that since my first sim, but... "O-kay." ))
BossManAlfa ASA: ((yeah I know))
Mushin Yiqi: (( Heh-heh ))
LtCJoeASA: (heheh)
LtCJoeASA: (Matt's wise...)
Mushin Yiqi: (( *ass ))
AmbKoshASG: ::Looks to Vin, still unsure about Vin's behaviour toward him earlier... Just as well assumes that Vin dislikes him, the way Matt does.:: ...okay
LtCJoeASA: (truth.)
Mushin Yiqi: (( Wiseass. It's different. ))
jbester1: We go there ::points in the general direction of the crowd::
BossManAlfa ASA: OK, and do what?
LtCJoeASA: Um...we ask them to lead us?
Mushin Yiqi: Yeah, uh... now that we've revived the Atlantien race, um... what're we supposed to do?
LtCJoeASA: You know, back to wherever their castle is.
jbester1: I think that's what your ability to communicate with them will tell us.
AmbKoshASG: ::Gets noticeably uncomfortable at the term "Atlantean Race"::
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt really hasn't had this all sink in yet::
BossManAlfa ASA: OK, so...we've brought this species back...Matt's my General...that implies fighting.
LtCJoeASA: Fighting? I can do fighting.
AmbKoshASG: Against whom?
BossManAlfa ASA: and I have a demolitions expert. I'm thinking lots of fighting.
LtCJoeASA: Well, if we've got a new race being brought back, I'm assuming that..
LtCJoeASA: ...well, shit.
BossManAlfa ASA: Mmm, a good question rico. Ask.
LtCJoeASA: COuld this mean fighting our own race?
AmbKoshASG: Mek draj Enkrussen zrit? (With whom will we be fighting?)
BossManAlfa ASA: (First....the followers of the Council of Elders. eventually two other...non-human non-Atlantien races...but not until you have the Empire of Atlantis at your back!)
AmbKoshASG: Die Vierten Reich.
Mushin Yiqi: (( ... spriche sie Deutsch? ))
LtCJoeASA: So, Rico! Don't tell me we've gotta fight our own kind..
AmbKoshASG: ::Seems surprised:: Oh.. I'm sorry, that wasn't Atlantean was it? ::Laughs uncomfortable::
BossManAlfa ASA: (No...these two races seek to exterminate us.)
AmbKoshASG: No, there are two races that wish to exterminate ours.
Mushin Yiqi: I hate it when that happens.
LtCJoeASA: Well, then.
LtCJoeASA: Lemme at 'em.
BossManAlfa ASA: (We had to go on ... hold so that they would not kill us off. Perhaps they think they have succeeded. Perhaps not.)
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::removes backpack and begins toiling in its innards looking for something::
Mushin Yiqi: What was the first thing, Rico?
BossManAlfa ASA: ::listens and rolls a cigarrette:: ::holds it up for gabe to light::
AmbKoshASG: Huh? Oh, it was about fighting Elders and other races.
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::smiles:: much obliged . . . stand back.
AmbKoshASG: I don't believe in fighting elders, myself. It seems unfair.
Mushin Yiqi: Elders... elders of the Atlantien race?
BossManAlfa ASA: I'd like for there to be cigarrette left for me to light. show me your mastery over the flame.
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::pulls out small little contraption resembling a home made flame thrower::
AmbKoshASG: The usage suggests as much, yes.
LtCJoeASA: O.o
LtCJoeASA: Well, then. Rico!
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::lights said flame thrower, and adjusts knob to a fine lighteresque flame::
LtCJoeASA: Ask if they've got advanced technology.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::lights cigarrette and smiles::: wonderful.
LtCJoeASA: I wanna know if this is gonna be an unfair fight.
AmbKoshASG: Advanced is a rather relative term, isn't it?
Mushin Yiqi: Is there a word for "Computer," Rico?
AmbKoshASG: Lortun.
Mushin Yiqi: Then they probably have at least some technology.
LtCJoeASA: Obviously. They've got that whole...you know...CITY behind us...
Mushin Yiqi: ::Shrugs:: You asked.
BossManAlfa ASA: So ask....
LtCJoeASA: Yeah, ask if they've got like, laser guns and shit.
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::laughs hard::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: thats a bit advanced aint it?
BossManAlfa ASA: ::rolls eyes::
LtCJoeASA: Hey, we don't know!
AmbKoshASG: Did you want me to ask about science or science fiction?
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt isn't joking, either. This is deadpan::
LtCJoeASA: No, man, I'm serious!
LtCJoeASA: Ask if they have technology beyond what we have.
BossManAlfa ASA: Just ask them to describe their technology versus that of their enemies.
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: If they do have lasers, my life is gonna become a whole lot more interesting
BossManAlfa ASA: ::snaps, tired and impatient::
AmbKoshASG: ::Sighs:: Seprish Lortenai hevenan? (What kind of technology do you have?)
Mushin Yiqi: (( "Sliced bread! There's nothing greater." ))
LtCJoeASA: (lol)
BossManAlfa ASA: (Bio-mechanical. We are thousands of years beyond your technology. This is a low tech colony.)
AmbKoshASG: They're advanced.
Mushin Yiqi: ... how advanced?
Mushin Yiqi: I mean... how do they rate on the Blow Stuff Up scale?
AmbKoshASG: Thousands of years beyond our technology.
Mushin Yiqi: ... that's pretty damn cool.
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::thats catches Gabes attention::
LtCJoeASA: Well, shit.
Mushin Yiqi: (( They'd better have big robots.))
LtCJoeASA: Now it's not so ludicrous, my question,e h?
AmbKoshASG: Seprishan tenzen akrikash? (What is your stance on Abortion?)
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ((lol, lets intergrate some emchwarrior into this))
Mushin Yiqi: (( ::Drools:: Big robots... ))
LtCJoeASA: Rico, what'd you ask?
BossManAlfa ASA: (The Council's followers are equal to us in technology....what? abortion? It's...a woman's issue...but it is considered to be killing...so it is only done to save the life of mother and child -- though there are no laws against it
BossManAlfa ASA: )
AmbKoshASG: ::To Matt:: I'm seeing if the future belongs to the democrats or the republicans.
Mushin Yiqi: They said "Council" again, didn't they? And "technology." What about their technology? ::Squinty look::
LtCJoeASA: X.x
AmbKoshASG: The Council's followers are equal to them in technology, they said.
LtCJoeASA: You can understand then, Vin?
Mushin Yiqi: I can listen.
BossManAlfa ASA: ok stop.
Mushin Yiqi: But... it's still mostly gibberish to me.
BossManAlfa ASA: Are we going to help them. it seems we've already decided to.
BossManAlfa ASA: Votes? Thoughts?
AmbKoshASG: I don't want to die.
Mushin Yiqi: I'll help. ... I prefer this to wasting away in modern society.
BossManAlfa ASA: Neither do I Rico, but I'd rather live trully for a short time than die a thousand deaths. I guess I'm in father of this...I mean...look at the power!
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: If it gives me an excuse to blow stuff up, why the hell not? it beats studying for exams.
LtCJoeASA: Um, they're calling us their leaders.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::Snickers, not serious about the fire::
LtCJoeASA: And they're here.
BossManAlfa ASA: ((fire = power))
LtCJoeASA: And like it or not, there's going to be people coming after us.
BossManAlfa ASA: Tobias?
LtCJoeASA: I don't think we have a choice.
jbester1: I'll help, methinks you'll need it.
jbester1 has left the room.
AmbKoshASG: Well, I'm in. I need to know what they wouldn't tell me about myself.
AmbKoshASG: Perhaps I shall find it in the archives.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::laughs:: OK. so there we go.
LtCJoeASA: Yeah, maybe I'll go with you.
LtCJoeASA: I gotta read up on this technobabble they've got.
AmbKoshASG: Surely you don't expect me to translate it for you...
BossManAlfa ASA: Rico. arrange for us to get language lessons. Matt, give me that thing you found so Tobias and I can find out what it means.
BossManAlfa ASA: or does or whatever.
AmbKoshASG: ::Sighs and nods:: I'm making myself obsolete, you realize...
jbester1 has entered the room.
AmbKoshASG: Translating is all I do for the group.
LtCJoeASA: What th--oh, that thing. ::he pulls that small, shiny artifact out of his belt pouch and tosses it to Atlanta:: 'ere.
Mushin Yiqi: You obviously don't just translate, Rico. "Bards" provide heart and soul for their companions, not just... advice.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::catches it and looks to the guard:: (Evs?) ((What?))
LtCJoeASA: Ew...::stops himself from getting back into the hole::
AmbKoshASG: ::Turns to their guide:: Dzoran bekas chema sobrai. (We would like language lessons, if possible)
AmbKoshASG: ::Looks to Vin:: What do you want from me?
BossManAlfa ASA: (We have several linguists here to do that. They will begin lessons tomorrow.)
Mushin Yiqi: ::Shrugs:: Nothin'. ::He says honestly::
LtCJoeASA: (Hm, think we could go as long as we want with this sim? ::snicker:: It's my last for the next 2 weeks.)
AmbKoshASG: ::Nods to the guide.:: Ceva. (Fine.)
LtCJoeASA: (Word!)
BossManAlfa ASA: (I want to go a bit longer, but not too much, I have alot to do)
BossManAlfa ASA: (And I'm keeping my gf up)
LtCJoeASA: (heh, aight)
AmbKoshASG: ::Looks to Vin, then walks away from the group::
BossManAlfa ASA: (but till like 1245 or 0100)
LtCJoeASA: Alright, so, we still haven't resolved one thing.
LtCJoeASA: Where the fuck will I be sleeping tonight?
AmbKoshASG: ::Clasps his hands behind his back, which is facing the others, and looks skyward::
BossManAlfa ASA: :::The atlantien takes the device and touches a button:: But we have temporarily resolved one thing.
Mushin Yiqi: The city looks pretty nice. ::Smirks at Matt::
LtCJoeASA: It would look pretty nice, if we had houses.
BossManAlfa ASA: This has been calibrating to your language and ours since you picked it up. It will only work for you two who found it though....
LtCJoeASA: ::smirks back at Vin::
Mushin Yiqi: (( Wait... who's talking in what language, now? ))
BossManAlfa ASA: ((You're hearing english))
Mushin Yiqi: (( Blazin'. )) Nifty little gadget.
BossManAlfa ASA: ((From the guide, the device is a translator))
LtCJoeASA: Whoa, wait. That thing lets me understand you guys?
LtCJoeASA: SWEET!
BossManAlfa ASA: S> Yes.
LtCJoeASA: That's awesome.
BossManAlfa ASA: S> You must still learn the language...it is limited in what it can explain and to how many people and so on.
LtCJoeASA: Well, obviously. It can't translate a book for me.
LtCJoeASA: And I think I've got a lot of reading to do... ::shudders at the thought::
Mushin Yiqi: I can't wait to learn the language... I want to see how different it is from most modern languages.
BossManAlfa ASA: So....what next?
LtCJoeASA: Um, we get lodgin'?
AmbKoshASG: ::Still staring skyward:: Ich denke, Mein Großvater... dass ich nach verbotenes Raum eingehen.
LtCJoeASA: Maybe a bite to eat?
BossManAlfa ASA: AG (Atlantien Guide)> Food, clothes, and then armour. However...the priestess is quite insistant that your group examine something first. All of you.
LtCJoeASA: ...really, now.
LtCJoeASA: What do YOU have that WE would know about?
LtCJoeASA: *Ponderous. Fucking ponderous...*
Mushin Yiqi: ::Vin glances at Rico and mumbles under his breath, "Forbidden what...?" as he didn't hear him quite well::
BossManAlfa ASA: AG> well...if you'll all follow me, I'll show you...
LtCJoeASA: 'kay. ::gets in the line of people following::
Mushin Yiqi: ::He turns and follows AG, glancing around warily as they go::
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: ::follows guide::

BossManAlfa ASA: AG> ::leads the group into a small wooden building, a sword is lying on the floor.::
BossManAlfa ASA: AG> This is the Brother Sword. It is a lesser member of the family of sword.
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt's attention IMMEDIATELY goes to the sword::
BossManAlfa ASA: s
Mushin Yiqi: Oo. Sword.
LtCJoeASA: That's one of those swords in the book!
AmbKoshASG: ::Lags behind and looks at the sword::
LtCJoeASA: I know my swords, it's in that book!
BossManAlfa ASA: AG> It is known that the bearer of Excalibur can lift all the swords. and Excabrete's bearer can lift any of the swords but excalibur.
BossManAlfa ASA: So you will all attempt to lift it.
AmbKoshASG: ::Raises a brow:: I think Matt should go first. No?
BossManAlfa ASA: AG> in this manner we will know the bearer of the brother sword and Excabrete.
BossManAlfa ASA: AG> No...the...Rico, then Vin...then Matt....

LtCJoeASA: ...'kay...
Mushin Yiqi: Best for last? ::Suggests innocently::
AmbKoshASG: I'm going first?
LtCJoeASA: Word...::nods at Vin::
BossManAlfa ASA: ::as rico lifts the sword it comes away easily but is silent and does not flash with fire like excalibur::

Mushin Yiqi: (( Who now? ))
AmbKoshASG: (( No prob. ))
BossManAlfa ASA: AG> 'Vin'
LtCJoeASA: ...::blinks::

AmbKoshASG: ::And puts it back::

LtCJoeASA: ((g>)
Mushin Yiqi: ::Snaps his staff apart and slips it into a strap along his back, then walks over to the sword, kneeling down to grasp its hilt::
BossManAlfa ASA: ::the sword is a monstrously heavy dead weight, the harder Vin tries to lift, the heavier it grows::

Mushin Yiqi: Good, I say... I'm terrible with swords.
LtCJoeASA: Oh, really? Cool.
BossManAlfa ASA: AG> But only one can wield it.
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt walks up to the sword, and clasps a hand around the hilt, pulling as he would to remove it from a scabbard::
BossManAlfa ASA: ::the sword is like a feather flying with his arm, blue flames flickering down the length of the blade:::
BossManAlfa ASA: ::smirks:: I guess that answers that.
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: Well, that's cool looking.
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt is somewhat surprised when he picks it up, but grins:: Guess so.
AmbKoshASG: ::Looks at his own reflection in the sword and smiles::
LtCJoeASA: Although red's really more my color. ::smiles::
BossManAlfa ASA: ((OOC, lets make it red flames then :P>>
LtCJoeASA: (w00t!)
LtCJoeASA: Well, then. I guess I could use both swords. Just gonna need to find a sheath for this baby.
BossManAlfa ASA: You know what else this means?
Mushin Yiqi: ... that Matt has two swords?
LtCJoeASA: Um, I've got a cool sword!
BossManAlfa ASA: ::the priestess hands Matt one at the guide's request:::
AmbKoshASG: And that I will, too.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::nods::
LtCJoeASA: ::grins at the priestess and takes it:: Thanks.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::the priestess just nods and ushers the group out::
LtCJoeASA: ::swings the shortsword around to his right side, and straps the Excabrete's sheath, with the sword now in it, on his left side::
BossManAlfa ASA: ((Brother Sword, not Excabrete. feel free to make up a cool name starting with Exca....>>
LtCJoeASA: (Oh word?)
BossManAlfa ASA: (word.)
LtCJoeASA: (word...)
Mushin Yiqi: (( BLazin'. ))
BossManAlfa ASA: Priorities? Food? Clothing? Armour?
BossManAlfa ASA: Bathrooms?
AmbKoshASG: Knowledge.
BossManAlfa ASA: I mean for this very moment.
LtCJoeASA: Food.
LtCJoeASA: And maybe a light nap.
GeorgeyPorgeyASA: I agree.
AmbKoshASG: As do I. What does this mean? What do this swords represent.
Mushin Yiqi: ::Rubbing his neck:: Shaving cream...
AmbKoshASG: (these)
BossManAlfa ASA: Tobias, what is your council?
LtCJoeASA: *counsel, but I'll overlook that 'cuz this sim is t3h 1337
BossManAlfa ASA: ((why thank you :P ))
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt's stomach grumbles:: I'm starving.
LtCJoeASA: All because Rico didn't give me any grilled cheese this morning.
AmbKoshASG: I don't cook for people who loathe me.
LtCJoeASA: ::looks at Rico out of the corner of his eye::
BossManAlfa ASA: Matt. I need to talk to you after we eat.
LtCJoeASA: ::nods to Atlanta:: I don't loathe you.
Mushin Yiqi: ::Tosses Matt a Kashi Bar he pulled out of his cargo pocket::
LtCJoeASA: You know that much. ::sage nod::
AmbKoshASG: Whatever. ::Clearly not believing him::
BossManAlfa ASA: ::sighs::
BossManAlfa ASA: ok! Food! And food over the archives for Rico.
LtCJoeASA: ::smirks::
BossManAlfa ASA: Make it so. (AG> Very well, g'sih.
Mushin Yiqi: ::Stretches elaborately and strokes his goatee, glancing at Rico:: Don't be so concerned about how other people think, man. ... people are stupid. In general.
AmbKoshASG: I can read the archives on my own, Atlanta... Don't go out of your way to suit me.
LtCJoeASA: ::Vin's Kashi Bar finds its way into Matt's pocket somehow..::
BossManAlfa ASA: AG> My name is Bask, and I will do all that I can for your comforts. I knew Atalanta. I was one of her Comrati. You remind me of us....when we first swore to her...when she announced she would abolish slavery and free your race.
LtCJoeASA: ::blinks:: Ooookaaaaay...
LtCJoeASA: History lesson later. Food now.
Mushin Yiqi: Yes, I'm feeling a little hungry myself, actually.
BossManAlfa ASA: bask> I will have someone from the kitchen bring you foods, sih. ::bows slightly to Rico, barks to a man standing out idly:: Torin will show you to the Archives we have here...
BossManAlfa ASA: bask> ::glances at Matt in irritation and sighs:: Very well. Now. fall me to the Grand Hall...where you will feast. and then rest.
LtCJoeASA: Diggin' that.
Mushin Yiqi: ::Falls into step behind Matt, as he undoubtedly follows Bask::
AmbKoshASG: ::Nods once:: Thank you, Bask. ::Gestures ahead:: Torin, lead the way. ::Casts a backward glance to the others, before walking off, looking terribly angsty::
BossManAlfa ASA: B> Please, all, single file through this next door. We're scanning you so that we can insure your clothes fit properly.
LtCJoeASA: *Scanning? Damn, they be all advanced like they said...*
LtCJoeASA: ::Matt's in first, since he was first in line::
Mushin Yiqi: (( Wigger sense... tingling... ))
BossManAlfa ASA: B>Tomorrow we will make certain that your vests are accurate.
LtCJoeASA: (::snicker: :-)
Mushin Yiqi: Vests... clothes fit? I don't understand.
LtCJoeASA: They've giving us clothes that better fit the illustrious leaders of this new Atlantis, Vinny.
Mushin Yiqi: Oh. Oh ! Ah... Bask?
AmbKoshASG: ::Takes a seat at the table, opening the first tome... He pauses and glances over his shoulder:: Torin, leave me. I thank you for leading me here, but now I would be alone.
BossManAlfa ASA: Bask> Ahh, the translator has trouble conveying this I think. Sesai Matt is correct. in part. We wear these vests...they tell our life stories...who we are, what we've done...yes?
BossManAlfa ASA: T> Gladly, sih. A chef will by in a moment to see what you would eat.
Mushin Yiqi: I'd prefer to not wear armor or... elaborate robes, or whatever you may have planned - simple, loose garbs suit me best.
LtCJoeASA: *Whoa, I was right? ...cool...*
AmbKoshASG: Save him the trouble. I'm not hungry, thank you.
AmbKoshASG: But tell me...
AmbKoshASG: What is this "sih"?
LtCJoeASA: Well, then. Um...how do they tell these "stories"?
LtCJoeASA: They got cool pictures or something?
BossManAlfa ASA: T> sih. it is an honorific. the feminine is g'sih...Oh Light of the Prophets! Would you prefer I use g'sih?
BossManAlfa ASA: ((trannie friendly Atlantiens :P))
LtCJoeASA: (LOL)
LtCJoeASA: (HAHAHHAHAHA!)
Mushin Yiqi: (( wow ))
Mushin Yiqi: (( I mean... ))
Mushin Yiqi: (( wow ))
LtCJoeASA: (heheh)
AmbKoshASG: ::Shocked:: ...I'm... I'm a boy?
Mushin Yiqi: (( What now?! ))
LtCJoeASA: (heh)
AmbKoshASG: ::Sets his jaw::
LtCJoeASA: (::notes the question matt posed above: :-)
Mushin Yiqi: (( Hehe, "::Sets her his jaw::" ))
LtCJoeASA: (::snicker: :-)
BossManAlfa ASA: B> Bars, symbols, glyphs. Think of it as...decorations on armor. Our clothing is elegant but utilitarian. The glyphs merely convery the facts. Name, house, ranks, duties, sex, gender, preference in sex/gender of your partner...
AmbKoshASG: ::Sighs, so confused:: I wish one of these books were about me.
Mushin Yiqi: ::Several blinks:: ... cool.
LtCJoeASA: Whoa, wait. They tell who you've had sex with and...
BossManAlfa ASA: T> Life is a book. Do you wish to talk? I have little to be doing...
BossManAlfa ASA: B> Nono! Just your preference.
BossManAlfa ASA: ::atlanta is just amused:: Food?
LtCJoeASA: Why would you need to have your GENDER written on your clothes?
Mushin Yiqi: Yeah... the overly promiscuous would need bigger vests.
AmbKoshASG: ::Looks up to Torin:: ...Perhaps I would like that.
LtCJoeASA: Yeah.
BossManAlfa ASA: T> ::sits down and looks at Rico seriously:: Then talk. Shall I fetch us something to drink, first, though?
BossManAlfa ASA: ::atlanta sighs and demands food again. will be having a loooonnnng talk with Matt later.....:::
AmbKoshASG: If you'd like something... I'd rather not. My stomach doesn't feel well.
BossManAlfa ASA: ~~~~~END SIM~~~~
