RP channel logs: Aelida, Kinath

[RP]: Aelida looks down at Deliza, smiling.
[RP]: (Aelida): Deliza looks up at Aelida 'I love you, you have made me so happy. I don't ever want to be without you.'
[RP]: Aelida kisses Deliza.
[RP]: (Aelida): The two women stare at each other with love in their eyes. It was a perfect moment.
[RP]: Aelida smiles happily.
[RP]: (Aelida): Suddenly the wind rips the tent open, Aelida wakes up and ties the flap back down. It was just a dream.
[RP]: Aelida says 'A dream..... I hate being away from her.'
[RP]: (Aelida): Aelida was travelling towards Yar nadrak. It seems as if a friend of Floyd's had a letter to be delivered. Aelida was given the task of delivering the letter, but her thoughts remained in Tol Honeth.
[RP]: (Aelida): it was almost morning and Aelida knew she would not be able to go back to sleep. She broke camp and continued on her way towards Yar Nadrak.
[RP]: Aelida walked into the gates Of Yar Nadrak after 2 weeks of travel, cold and grumpy.
[RP]: (Aelida): After delivering the letter she walked around town looking for a hot meal and a dry bed.
[RP]: (Aelida): Looking around there seems to very little in clean and affordable inns in Yar Nadrak.
[RP]: Aelida stands in front of an inn. It doesn't look too bad and it might actually have good food.
[RP]: (Aelida): The tired Algar walks into the inn, there's only one pig wandering around. This place looks promising.
[RP]: Aelida says 'I'd like a mug of ale and a plate of something edible.'
[RP]: (Aelida): The innkeeper brings her a mug of ale and a plate of moderately edible food.
[RP]: Aelida says 'thank you very much'
[RP]: Aelida eats her food in silence, Nadraks dont seem to very talkative people. That suited Aelida just fine. She's able to think of a place much warmer than Yar Nadrak.
[RP]: (Aelida): Back in Tol Honeth, Trouble was brewing. There was a killer on the streets. Normally that wasn't big news except this killer wasn't politically motivated. His victims were chosen without rhyme or reason.
[RP]: (Aelida): The legionnaires found the first victim in an alley. This was not unusual except for the body had its feet and hands cut off.
[RP]: (Aelida): the next morning Aelida started out early for Tol Honeth and her love Deliza.
[RP]: (Kinath): The voice. Kinath's hand trembles violently and he squeezes his eyes shut. The voice wouldn't stop. He skitters through the streets of Tol Honeth like a wounded rat, looking for solace somewhere. Anywhere.
[RP]: (Kinath): A tavern. Yes, that's what he needs. Alcohol. He stops as a woman points at him and screams. He blinks, confused, and looks down. His hands were covered in blood. Again.
[RP]: Kinath mumbles some sort of excuse, he doesn't know what, and continues on his way. His destination is a bar near the docks.
[RP]: (Aelida): Again another victim was found, their hands and feet cut off. The legionnaires were baffled, there was no evidence.
[RP]: (Kinath): The Busty Mermaid. Kinath peers at the sign, not really comprehending. He just knows there is booze inside. He enters, wiping his bloody hands on his tunic, and finds a place to sit.
[RP]: (Aelida): After the sixth victim was found the people became alarmed. Someone was out there killing randomly.
[RP]: (Aelida): Deliza smiled as the man entered the bar. Another customer!
[RP]: (Aelida): She walked to the man 'Hiya! What can i do for yo?'
[RP]: Kinath looks up. Blonde. Pretty. Oh yes. Barmaid. His right hand twitching violently, he stutters "Ale. Lots, and lots, of ale."
[RP]: (Aelida): 'I can do that! Anything else I can do for you?'
[RP]: Kinath peers intently at the girl.
[RP]: Kinath says 'N..no.. not now.. th.. thank you.'
[RP]: (Aelida): Deliza smiles at the man as she hands him his ale. 'Let me know if you need anything else. I'm leaving soon though and Mirall her can help you after I leave.'
[RP]: Kinath nods.
[RP]: (Aelida): Deliza hums as she wipes down the tables. Her thoughts are of a beautiful Algar woman.
[RP]: (Kinath): Kinath.
[RP]: Kinath looks up sharply.
[RP]: (Aelida): Aelida hurries southwards, thinking only of one woman...Deliza.
[RP]: (Kinath): That damn voice again. His hand still twitching, he drains his first mug in one swallow.
[RP]: (Aelida): Waving goodbye to the barkeep Deliza gathers her cloak as she readies to go home.
[RP]: Kinath looks around, panicked, for the barmaid. "Wench!!" he shrieks. "More ale!"
[RP]: (Kinath): She was leaving! No! He needed ale.
[RP]: (Aelida): Stepping out into the sun, the blonde starts her walk home. Back in the tavern Mirall approaches the man. 'You need something?'
[RP]: Kinath stands, brushing Mirall aside. He leaves the tavern, squinting into the sun, looking for the blonde serving wench.
[RP]: (Aelida): Deliza stops at a vender a couple of shops away from the inn. Looking at the selection shee buys a loaf of bread and some cheeze.
[RP]: (Kinath): There she is. Kinath heads toward her, his mind already lost to the dark oblivion as his madness takes over.
[RP]: (Aelida): She then stops at another cart. Looking at the choices she picks a bag of apples to buy. Her hands laden with bags of food, Deliza walks through an alley between buildings. It's a shortcut home.
[RP]: Kinath follows blindly, his dagger drawn. He drools, his right hand trembling .. in anticipation. Normally left-handed, he passes his dagger from left to right hand, and closes the distance between himself and the girl.
[RP]: (Aelida): Deliza looks up at the sky, it is so blue...she is in love.
[RP]: (Kinath): Yes, Kinath. This is what we live for. The voice cackles madly, then goes silent.
[RP]: (Aelida): Deliza stands there staring at the sky her thoughts on her lover as she hears a noise behind her. Turning around she sees......
[RP]: Kinath grabs the girl quickly, his hand covering her mouth to cut off her scream. He pulls her tightly to him, and whispers Keep walking into her ear.
[RP]: (Aelida): Deliza nods mutely.
[RP]: Kinath chuckles dryly, and forces her to walk deeper into the alley, the sun seeming to disappear in horror as he finds the darkest, most hidden corner.
[RP]: Kinath turns the girl around, gazing into her blue eyes, his own dark brown eyes wide and uncomprehending. He was lost, completely. Blissfully unaware of what he was about to do.
[RP]: (Kinath): The dagger glints once, then without hesitating, plunges into the girl's chest. Kinath holds her tightly to keep her from falling, or crying out.
[RP]: (Aelida): Deliza feels pain and then she's there, in Aelida's arms.
[RP]: Kinath watches, a grin on his face, as the girl's life drains from her eyes. He cackles madly, then glances around furtively, to make sure no one had heard anything.
[RP]: (Kinath): His right hand, still gripping the dagger, begins to twitch madly again. He yanks the dagger out of the girl's lifeless body, blood gushing from her wound, and lets the body fall. He looks, confused, at his hand, the dagger wavering back and forth as his hand trembles.
[RP]: Kinath snarls madly at his hand. "Stop.. doing.. that.." he says in a shaky voice. His hand ignores him. In his rage, he begins to hack at the girl's wrists, his sharp dagger cutting through flesh like a warm knife through butter.
[RP]: Aelida breathes a sigh of relief as she crosses the border into Tolnedra. She will be home soon.
[RP]: (Kinath): The dagger grates against bone, then gets stuck. Howling in mad frustration, Kinath stomps his boot down on the girl's wrist, the force severing her hand from the rest of her arm.
[RP]: Kinath picks the dagger up and does the same to her other wrist, then picks up the hands. Strangely, the tremors in his right hand seem to have stopped. He takes brief note of this, and goes to work on the girl's feet.
[RP]: (Kinath): Collecting his prizes, Kinath stands. He sheaths his dagger, and glances at the dead girl again. Unfeeling, uncaring, not comprehending what he had just done, he turns slowly and walks to the end of the alley.
[RP]: Kinath looks down in horror at the severed body parts in his hand. He takes a quick, panicked look around him, then discards them, rubbing his bloody hands on his tunic. He watches, detached, as a stray dog comes and collects the fresh morsels, then takes off down the street, headed for the bar.
[RP]: (Aelida): Again Legionnaires were baffled. This time the victim was a barmaid. The killer again severed her hands and feet. However
[RP]: (Aelida): An apple vendor remembered the girl worked at the Busty Mermaid. There was a lead finally!
[RP]: Aelida practically ran into the gates of Tol Honeth. She was home!
[RP]: (Aelida): people looked quizzically as the tall Algar ran in the streets. She wanted to be home and in Deliza's arms. How she missed her!
[RP]: Aelida ran up to the room Deliza rented. There she found the innkeeper and his wife cleaning out the room.
[RP]: Aelida says 'what the hell is going on here? Where's Deliza?'
[RP]: (Aelida): The elderly couple looked at Aeliza sadly. 'She's gone....She was killed...'
[RP]: Aelida stood there, uncomprehending. Deliza... dead?
[RP]: (Aelida): there was silence in the room. Aelida stood there frozen.. Her Deliza.. killed.
[RP]: Aelida screams loudly!
[RP]: Aelida collapses on the floor. Her life is over.





[RP]: Aelida sat at the table lost in thought.
[RP]: (Aelida): She purged
many of her feelings last night, she was sure. The rest was hazy. All she knew is she felt... free.
[RP]: (Aelida): She was still very determined to find Deliza's killer, but her bloodlust was lessened.
[RP]: Aelida had bade the two girls goodbye, and went into the kitchen to grab some food
[RP]: (Aelida): she sat there, just thinking...
[RP]: Aelida resolved to find that killer, if it was the last thing she did.
[RP]: (Aelida): Taren flounced in the room and sat next to her with a swirl of lace and ruffles. Good morning my dear how was your night? He chuckled.
[RP]: Kinath is cold. His fingers tingle and he shivers as the sun pokes through the clouds. He wanders through the streets of Tol Honeth, deep in thought. Since the death of the tavern wench, he'd no desire to kill again.
[RP]: Aelida says 'I assume it was great since those two girls left with smiles on their faces.'
[RP]: Aelida looked thoughtfully at her friend 'I'm ready to go searching for her killer.'
[RP]: (Aelida): Taren nodded at Aelida. 'I'm glad you've come to your senses.'
[RP]: Kinath pauses as he passes an alleyway. Here. He sees it like it happened just yesterday. He can feel the girl's hair in his fingers, smell her blood as she the light fades from her eyes. His pulse quickens, and he looks around furtively before continuing his wandering.
[RP]: Kinath sees a bar up ahead. Normally he'd wander in and get a pint, but this bar was... different. He isn't sure how. He just knows. Shivering again, he picks up his pace, wanting to get to the nearest normal tavern.
[RP]: Aelida stands up. 'Well, if I'm gonna find him, I should start now.' Taren nodded at her. 'Good luck dahhhling'
[RP]: Aelida smiled as Taren flounced out of the room in a frenzy of lace.
[RP]: Aelida steps out into the blinding daylight.
[RP]: Kinath looks up as the tavern door opens and a girl steps out.
[RP]: Aelida looks around, all she sees is a shabby man, talking to himself
[RP]: (Kinath): The girl was pretty, he supposed. His eyes meet hers as she steps from the tavern and almost runs into him. He stops and looks her up and down, as if appraising her. His right hand, dormant for so long, begins to twitch. His head tilts to the side and he winks at her, then continues down the street.
[RP]: (Aelida): Some creepy little man just winked at her. She thought it was odd how his hand began to twitch...






[RP]: (Kinath): A door slams somewhere. A dog barks once, then falls silent. The sun rests red and sullen in the sky, brooding as it slowly makes its way behind the horizon.
[RP]: Kinath looks up. He crouches uncomfortably in the dark alleyway, his eyes searching .. for what he does not know. A small glass vial makes its way from his bag to his lips.
[RP]: Kinath twitches, his head tilted to the side. Some place. Starts with a c. Cam something. Where? He doesn't remember. Rheon. He remembers that. He remembers something furry. Not a wolf. Something larger.
[RP]: (Kinath): Bears. Yes, that was it. Bears. Something about .. no, it wasn't that. He shrugs, not caring anymore. Someone walks by him. He sniffs the air, then stifles a giggle. A girl.
[RP]: (Kinath): Pretty. Blonde. He can see that much in the dying light. His dagger suddenly in his hand, he looks at it for a moment. When did he ..? No matter. He knows what to do with it.
[RP]: Kinath says 'Camaar! '
[RP]: Kinath claps a hand over his mouth. Cursing to himself, he sinks even further into the shadows.
[RP]: (Kinath): Yes. Camaar he was in. He remembers now. The girl has stopped, is looking toward him. He stills his breathing, narrows his eyes to slits. His dagger blackened, it does not reflect light.
[RP]: (Kinath): The girl turns slowly. Kinath almost cheers aloud, then remembers to be silent. The girl crosses to the other side of the empty street, and continues on her way.
[RP]: Kinath almost crows in delight. She hadn't noticed! Carefully, silently, he stands and leaves the alley. He walks behind the girl, not crossing to her side. She appears nervous, but not enough to walk faster.
[RP]: Kinath watches as the girl enters a side street and, with a small hop, breaks into a jog. He skids to a stop at the entrance to the street and peers down. His eye pick out the girls form in the shadows. She's stopped.
[RP]: (Kinath): The moon sinks behind clouds and the sidestreet grows darker. The girl shivers, tugging at her cloak. She fumbles in her pouch for a key, unaware that her short life is about to come to an abrupt, and painful, halt.
[RP]: (Kinath): The girl turns. Her eyes grow wide as she looks at the man who'd crept up behind her. Dressed in black, he seems to blend with the shadows. He disappears for a second. She blinks, and realizes he'd not gone.
[RP]: (Kinath): Her eyes unfocus again as her brain struggles to tell her something. She ignores it momentarily, trying to understand what this man is doing here. She opens her mouth to speak, confused as to why she cannot.
[RP]: (Kinath): Her brain again screams at her, and this time she listens. Her throat hurts. She tries to swallow, wondering why there is a chill like ice in her throat. She tries again. Cold.
[RP]: (Kinath): Her eyes close, then snap open as the dagger finishes its journey through the soft tissues of her throat. She raises her hand to her throat, then giggles, the sound coming out as a gurgle as blood flows easily down the front of her dress.
[RP]: (Kinath): Her new dress. She tries to laugh, dicovers she cannot. Her mother was going to kill her. That thought causes more attempted laughter. Bright eyes. Very luminous. She crumples slowly to the ground, still trying to giggle.
[RP]: Aelida paced nervously around the Adventurers hall. Something just wasn't right today.
[RP]: Aelida mutters 'I need some fresh air.'
[RP]: Kinath looks down at his dagger. Blood? Yes. The girl's blood. He smiles kindly at the slowly cooling body in front of him. He crouches next to it, dipping his hand in the pooling blood.
[RP]: (Aelida): Grabbing her cloak and dagger, she sets off into the Sendairan sunshine.
[RP]: Kinath his eyes narrow. He doesn't want to soil his tunic. Without thinking, he raises his fingers to his lips and licks them clean.
[RP]: Aelida tries to calm herself, the last time she felt like this was the day Deliza was murdered..
[RP]: Kinath blinks. He looks down at his fingers. Salty. But not bad. A thought crosses his mind, and he shudders. Even as depraved as he is, he cannot bring himself to ... no, he won't even think about it.
[RP]: Aelida scans the crowds, she knows not who she's looking for, but is sure she'll know them when she sees them.
[RP]: Kinath deftly, he severs the dead girl's hands and feet from her body. He rocks back on his heals for a moment. As an afterthought, he searches her for .. anything useful. Some money. A key.
[RP]: Aelida says 'maybe I'll go vist that blonde again, she may calm my nerves.'
[RP]: Kinath he discards the key. Knowing it is for the door in front of him, he has no use for it. They have nothing he needs. His need is .. was ... in front of him. On the ground. He shudders again.
[RP]: Aelida starts to make her way through the back alleys, to where women of that type lived in seclusion.
[RP]: Kinath sheaths his dagger and looks at his hands. They are clean, his right hand twitching violently. He steps back from the body and looks at it curiously.
[RP]: Aelida stops suddenly, there is a sense of.. death. An all too familiar feeling of evil.
[RP]: (Kinath): The thought to raise the alarm comes to him. He would say he found the body. Yes. Then join in the hunt. He steps back again, a look of horror and loathing coming to his face. A dead girl. In the alley.
[RP]: (Aelida): Looking around, Aelida starts to sharpen her senses. Her body readies for action, either pleasure, or battle.
[RP]: Kinath tremble violently, his stomach spewing its contents on the wall next to him. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and steps backward, stumbling over his feet and into the main street.
[RP]: Aelida stumbles into a small, man. His eyes look haunted...
[RP]: Aelida says 'sorry, hey are you ok?'
[RP]: Kinath appears not to have heard. He stumbles away from the girl he'd just run into, recognition flashing briefly, then replace by horror. He raises a violently trembling right hand to point into the alley.
[RP]: Kinath says '...th..there.. sh...she's in ... there'
[RP]: Aelida looks stangly at the trembling man.
[RP]: Aelida says 'who is in there?'
[RP]: Aelida gently leads the man in the direction he's pointing, something doesn't seem right.
[RP]: Kinath opens his mouth to speak, then turns as his stomach again attempts to empty itself. He drops to his knees, shaking his head.
[RP]: Aelida says 'what, or who is in here?'
[RP]: Kinath says 'No ... no no... nonononononono.. don't make me ... no'
[RP]: Aelida says 'gasps as her wyes focus on the mass on the alley's floor.'
[RP]: Aelida gasps as her eyes focus on the mass on the alley's floor.
[RP]: Aelida grabs the man a little roughly.
[RP]: Aelida says 'Speak up and tell me what that is?'
[RP]: Kinath whispers, almost to himself, I .. I don't... She .. she's cold.
[RP]: Aelida says 'Speak up man!'
[RP]: Kinath looks blankly at the woman for a moment, then crumples to the ground, his face in his hands. Too late! I was too late to save her!!
[RP]: (Aelida): A small crowd begins to gather. One man walks down the alley. Once he sees the bloodbath, he retches, and rus back towards the crowd.
[RP]: Aelida watches the action out of the corner of her eye, but remains fixated on the man in her hand.
[RP]: Aelida says 'did you see who had done this?'
[RP]: Kinath his head shakes slowly, as if he isn't sure what she is asking, but is sure that's the right answer. I .. I'm sorry ... I was too late... too late for .. her. he whispers to no one in particular.
[RP]: Aelida says 'Too late? Looking closely at the crumpled figure before her her mind races... this is just too... familiar'
[RP]: Kinath is dimly aware of the growing crowd. His attention is fixated on the woman clutching his arm and the dead woman in the alley.
[RP]: Kinath says 'too late'
[RP]: Aelida motions for someone to keep an eye on the sobbing man. Walking into the alley she stopps, staring at the gore.
[RP]: Aelida says 'Her hands...they're cut off, and her feet too.'
[RP]: Aelida slowly turns around to see the man on the ground... and the familiarity and...
[RP]: Aelida stares at the body, the blonde hair.. the gore.. the memories...
[RP]: Kinath watches as the woman views the body. He nods as someone asks if he's well. He waits, then silently melts into the crowd.
[RP]: Aelida suddenly senses movement, he's gone!
[RP]: Aelida says 'Hey! Stop him!'
[RP]: Aelida says 'begins to run down the alley, drawing her dagger.'
[RP]: Aelida begins to run down the alley, drawing her dagger.
[RP]: Kinath senses someone chasing him and begins to run, heading for .. anywhere.
[RP]: Aelida swears : #@*"*&^*#%@*&! !!!!!
[RP]: Aelida pushes people aside, her eyes focused on the man running fearfully from her.
[RP]: Kinath dashes down another sidestreet and disappears into the shadows. He stops at a dead end, then without thinking begins to scramble up the wall of a building.
[RP]: Aelida stops, unsure of where he went, and hears the sound of someone hurriedly climbing the wall.
[RP]: Aelida says 'Belar! he's climbing the wall!'
[RP]: Aelida races towards the sounds.
[RP]: Kinath looks down when he reaches the top. Seeing the woman, he giggles before he can stop himself, then begins to run across the roof of the building.
[RP]: Aelida swears : #@*"*&^*#%@*&! !!!!!
[RP]: Aelida says 'Dammit, he got away, but I shall remember his face.'
[RP]: Aelida says 'I think I may have just seen the face of the man ive been hunting'
[RP]: Aelida says 'And if I ever catch him, i'll hang him by his entrails.'
[RP]: Kinath scrambles over the rooftops, the sounds of the crowd growing fainter. He'd gotten away with it! Gleefully, he halts and turns back to look over the town. Skipping lightly, he turns and continues on his way.
[RP]: Aelida walks purposelly back to the hall. She needs to meet with Gares soon, and she must get his help in searching for this man, this killer.
