Adm H Sopko: ~You alright?~

AndrewRogue: ~Fine... just missed my foot.~

AndrewRogue: ~Heh.~

Adm H Sopko: ~Heh... well, at least it's less frequent than before~

AndrewRogue: *chuckles* ~When I was a lot younger, I was flat on my face every three steps~

Adm H Sopko: ~Sounds painful... is that why your nose turns a bit upwards like that?~

AndrewRogue: ~...yes it is actually. I've broken it a few times...~ *she sounds reeeeeeeally embarassed*

Adm H Sopko: ~Heh... sorry to hear that... breaking one's nose isn't the most fun thing... I know how it feels too.~

Adm H Sopko: (You played Xenosaga?)

AndrewRogue: (No. Despite the blasphemy involved, I wasn't super fond of Gears)

Adm H Sopko wants to send file 18 - Pain.mp3.

Adm H Sopko: Two songs you might like from it

AndrewRogue: A'ight.

Adm H Sopko: (Heheh. Aria's mom doesn't appear to like Hunter very much<G>)

AndrewRogue: (;_; Poor Hunter.)

Adm H Sopko: (Meh...)

AndrewRogue: (*gives Hunter a hug*)

AndrewRogue received C:\Documents and Settings\AMB\My Documents\download\AndrewRogue\Spirit.mp3.

AndrewRogue: ~Hunter... I'm really concerned... What if my father does try to attack Verity. They could... one of them could kill the other.~

Adm H Sopko: ~Possibly...~

AndrewRogue: ~Maybe one night? ...or something to try and contact him? I don't want to hold you back but...~ *a mental sigh* ~You can even leave me behind if you feel its necessary.~

Adm H Sopko: ~No. We're not splitting the group. Even if your father is not out for revenge, that would mean he's out to get Verity and use him for Gelendar's purposes. Verity has made his choice.~

AndrewRogue: (Wow, why the hell does everyone want to stay? O_o)

Adm H Sopko: (And again... no one wants to listen to Hunter...)

AndrewRogue: (Mrr... I didn't expect him to object too -_- Aria's got moderate reason. I'm not trying to usurp your leader qualification. It just makes sense for Aria to want to stop her dad.)

Adm H Sopko: (Oh I know. It's not without reason<G>)

AndrewRogue: ~Hunter... I didn't even know my father could hold a sword. If he does come... what if he gets himself killed because I just walked away? I refuse to let ANYONE I know come to harm again! You, Jerri, Bandon, my parents, gods, even Verity...~

Adm H Sopko: ~So be it~

AndrewRogue: ~Th... thank you...~

AndrewRogue: (Mrr... again, I hate being so contradictory, but I have to follow gut instinct with character.)

Adm H Sopko: (Of course.)

Adm H Sopko: (And no one even noticed him leaving<G>)

AndrewRogue: (Aria did, she's just a bit ashamed of what she did, considering that final line of his.)

AndrewRogue: (On a side note, those are two awesome songs)

Adm H Sopko: (Heh)

Adm H Sopko wants to send file Kingdom Hearts - March Caprice for Piano and Orchestra.mp3.

Adm H Sopko: Trust me

Adm H Sopko: Thats my "End of Campaign Credits Roll" song

AndrewRogue: I will. You haven't failed me with kicking songs yet.

AndrewRogue: On a side note, I FINALLY found Sha La La from King of Bandit Jing! *jumps around happilly*

Adm H Sopko: Heh

AndrewRogue received C:\Documents and Settings\AMB\My Documents\download\AndrewRogue\Kingdom Hearts - March Caprice for Piano and Orchestra.mp3.

AndrewRogue: (Mrr... he shouldn't have given me that -_-)

Adm H Sopko: (Heh)

AndrewRogue: How goes action on your end?

Adm H Sopko: Xavix just dropped me

AndrewRogue: ...

AndrewRogue: Trying to earn his trust/support

AndrewRogue: Mrr...

AndrewRogue: You... okay?

AndrewRogue: Are you still alive? That was a lot of damage...

Adm H Sopko: Still alive

Adm H Sopko: I'm at -17 though

AndrewRogue: ...holy crap. What's your threshold?

Adm H Sopko: -21

AndrewRogue: ...mrrrr...

AndrewRogue: No snapped off mental cries or anything? Chance of stabalizing? Something?

AndrewRogue: On a side note, your credit bit rules.

AndrewRogue: Doing better?

Adm H Sopko: Up to +10 HP

AndrewRogue: Yay! What happened?

Adm H Sopko: Fell off, beat to shit, contemplating giving Hunter amnesia

AndrewRogue: Ouch. That would be one hell of a side plot. How'd you get back up, out of curiosity?

Adm H Sopko: Diehard

AndrewRogue: YAY! Go cool feat choices!

AndrewRogue: *gives Soppy an Awesome Point, whatever good that does*

AndrewRogue: Curiosity intrudes again. How go things on your end still?

Adm H Sopko is idle at 11:04:59 PM.

AndrewRogue: ~Hunter, we're on out way. You holding up?~

Adm H Sopko is no longer idle at 11:12:40 PM.

Adm H Sopko: ~I think~

AndrewRogue: ~Hang on a bit longer. I know you're out here. I... I can feel you.~

Adm H Sopko: ~I'll be here... I won't move~

AndrewRogue: ~Anything remarkable around you? Something to give us a clue?~

Adm H Sopko: ~Nothing~

AndrewRogue: ~How badly hurt are you?~

Adm H Sopko: ~I can barely stay concious... I think something is wrong with my arm... a tree branch went through it before... I pulled it out and managed to bandage it... but... ugh... real pain...~

Adm H Sopko: (I must say, this freaking sucks)

AndrewRogue: (Mrr... understanably.)

AndrewRogue: (What did you do to the horse anyway?)

Adm H Sopko: SirAlexTheFirst: ~So. Why shouldn't I drop you?~

Adm H Sopko: ~Heh. I somehow knew that was coming.~

SirAlexTheFirst: Xavix starts tilting.

Adm H Sopko: ~Well... it's hard to say, really... we do have this whole quest thing we're working on... but I don't know how helpful I've been lately. Not quite the leader I was hoping to be either... I finally understand what Verity meant when he told me about leading men... I guess I just don't have it in me if every time I tell something to the group they do the opposite. I suppose thats one reason not to drop me... I'm at least progressing.~

Adm H Sopko: SirAlexTheFirst: Xavix keeps tilting.

Adm H Sopko: ~I do have people that'd miss me... Leatanna and Aria... Jerry... and things left I need to do, like face my father finally.~

SirAlexTheFirst: Xavix keeps tilting. ~I definitely don't care...~

Adm H Sopko: ~True. Those are trivial matters to someone like yourself. Heh... pretty trivial here too, putting things in perspective.~

SirAlexTheFirst: Xavix keeps tilting.

SirAlexTheFirst: All of a sudden, the trees below you start looking awfully branchy and pointy.

Adm H Sopko: Adm H Sopko: ~If you're seriously looking for a reason, I can't give you one at the moment. Though, you should have told me that it was a burden to carry me in the first place, damnit.~

SirAlexTheFirst: ~Oh, it's not a burden. I just like dropping people. It's kinda fun.~

Adm H Sopko: ~Why am I getting the feeling Aria falling off today was not an accident?~

SirAlexTheFirst: ~*mental shrug*~

Adm H Sopko: ~Well, I'd hate to deprive you of the things you love.~

SirAlexTheFirst: FLIP!

AndrewRogue: (...that sucks. But that is SO Alex.)

Adm H Sopko: ::Plays Pain::

AndrewRogue: ~Just think Hunter. I know there's a reason for you to live, even if its just for that, living. You've made mistakes, but you learn from them.~

Adm H Sopko: ~Aria... I know all that. I want to keep living. I told Xavix all the progress I've made, nothing... I told him I had people that'd miss me and things I still had to do... he said they were trivial...~

Adm H Sopko: ~Then... he told me that dropping people was fun for him... and I laughed... and pretty much said 'Drop me then'~

AndrewRogue: ~Why?~

Adm H Sopko: ~I don't know... nothing else was working and I was about to fall off anyway... I thought I'd call his bluff... guess it didn't work well...~

AndrewRogue: ~Then the beast was evil... as simple as that. He would have dropped you no matter what you said.~

Adm H Sopko: ~The fall must have been three hundred feet... through trees for part of it... I can't describe the pain... for a few moments I'd thought I'd had amnesia... I couldn't even remember to use the circlets~

AndrewRogue: ~I only fell a dozen or two feet and it scared me to death... I can't even imagine how that must have felt. And then... then actually hitting? Thank the gods you're still alive...~

Adm H Sopko: ~I pulled a branch from my arm... thats when I finally passed out... when I came to, hours must have passed... then I wandered around the woods for another hour at least before remembering I could call you...~

AndrewRogue: *she's in a sort of awed silence*

Adm H Sopko: ~But again... I'm sorry for being an idiot... you might not think so... but I've been one for my whole life, I guess~

AndrewRogue: ~Don't be so hard on yourself...~

Adm H Sopko: `It can't be being hard when it's true... what was one of the last things I said to you before I left? We're not splitting the group up. And what do I do? I go joyriding on a damn Nightmare... it serves me right.~

AndrewRogue: ~And you could have expected it to just drop you after taking us to and from Gelendar?~

Adm H Sopko: ~Well, that was a surprise, of course. I just mean that if I can't follow my own orders, what kind of leader am I? I'm impulsive, irresponsible... there is no reason for any of you to look to me as such... not that you did much anyway...~

Adm H Sopko: (Not a new person... ::Cue xenophobia:: )

AndrewRogue: ~It was a fluke Hunter... a dangerous one, but a fluke. You weren't splitting the party, you were going out to get air... Everyone does it, even great leaders.~ (Xenophobia?)

Adm H Sopko: ~I ran... just like I have before... no one was listening to me so I pouted and ran...~

AndrewRogue: ~If you're so sure that's what you did, then learn from it... I'm sorry for refusing your orders Hunter. It has to be difficult to be in charge of us.~

Adm H Sopko: ~I need to fucking grow up... thats the long and short of it... I just don't know... every time I keep saying 'thats the last time', I seem to do it again...~

AndrewRogue: ~I... don't know what else I can offer you Hunter... Maybe its time for all of us children to grow up.~

Adm H Sopko: ~I suppose you're right... about a few things... ::He gives off a chuckle:: You guys are tough to lead.~

Adm H Sopko: ::Before he conks out:: ~Thanks again, Arianna...~

AndrewRogue: ~You know I'd go through hell to help any of you. Good night Hunter...~

Adm H Sopko: ~Heh... I can say I have and would do the same... good night, Aria.~

Adm H Sopko: (I dunno... somehow Bandon's smarmy flattery doesn't seem to cut it against Hunter's brutally honest conversations<G>)

AndrewRogue: Actually, we had a painfully cute/honest/etc conversation in IMs. And blasted Leatanna interferes on your end :p

Adm H Sopko: (Who had that conversation?)

AndrewRogue: Aria n' Bandon

Adm H Sopko: Ah

AndrewRogue: We took it to IMs so as not to run two different conversations at once.

Adm H Sopko: I dunno... Bandon always seems to just represent the physical side of things, with conversation being mostly flattery and stuff while Hunter is the opposite. No physical closeness, but a closer bond in their conversations

AndrewRogue: Indeed. Its odd but Aria is gullible and fluff can get her. I almost see Hunter being closer to a brother.soul mate figure at this point.

AndrewRogue: *brother/soul mate

AndrewRogue: Don't know why I'm equating those two...

Adm H Sopko: Yes on the first part, perhaps on the second. The events of tonight actually made it less brotherly...

AndrewRogue: Maybe Aria just needs to lovers or something :p

Adm H Sopko: Heh

Adm H Sopko: Bandon seems pretty territorial for a manwhore

AndrewRogue: Maybe Aria can change his manwhor... nah.

Adm H Sopko: There is no changing the manwhoreishness...

AndrewRogue: Clearly its all a ploy to get Hunter jealous and fall in love with Bandon :p

Adm H Sopko: Obviously

AndrewRogue: Don't know how we could miss it. On a side note, you get another awesome point for again escaping death.

Adm H Sopko: Damn right. And I didn't even break anything or lose a limb

AndrewRogue: I must ask how the hell you do it.

Adm H Sopko: Oh yes... I forgot<G>

Adm H Sopko: Adm H Sopko: ::It takes a while for Hunter to come out of the daze of the fall when he lands with one of the top 10 most sickening thuds ever heard. He wanders in a daze, kind of out of it, not really remembering much of why he's there. He does remember the potions in his pouch though, and chugs them quickly::

AndrewRogue: Miracle.

Adm H Sopko: Preceding that... SirAlexTheFirst: It's beautiful and exhilirating, except for the part when the trees are coming up to you and OH MY GO-

Adm H Sopko: SirAlexTheFirst: Your bones are wracked, your skin broken, brusies everywhere, and there's a tree branch through your arm.

AndrewRogue: Ow. Fucking ow.

Adm H Sopko: Know how high I fell from?

AndrewRogue: 300 feet.

Adm H Sopko: Yeah

AndrewRogue: *shudders at the thought*

Adm H Sopko: (Like falling from the roof of a 30 floor building and living

AndrewRogue: Hunter scores some bad assness definitely

Adm H Sopko: Damn right

Adm H Sopko: "Well damnit, Bandon, I don't know!"<G>

AndrewRogue: Gonna find the horsey and make some glue?

Adm H Sopko: Nah... Hunter knows he was asking for it

AndrewRogue: Heh. In disturbing news, am I the only one who feels over due for some combat?

Adm H Sopko: No

Adm H Sopko: We've gained 2 levels with no combat

AndrewRogue: Of course, at this point, I'm scared to death of what it will entail :p)

Adm H Sopko: Heh

Adm H Sopko: Smack him please...

AndrewRogue: Myar, damn cheesy lines. Damn Aria's low wisdom.

Adm H Sopko: Wouldn't that be an insult to her intelligence?<G>

AndrewRogue: XD

Adm H Sopko: Besides, she's the one who just told Hunter that maybe they all need to grow up<G>

AndrewRogue: XXXD

AndrewRogue: Key word was maybe I suppose :p

Adm H Sopko: ::Thanks god Lea would see through him in a second:: I don't need both of them taken from me<G>

AndrewRogue: This would be a perfect moment for PATRON MIND RAPE TENTACLES! <_<

AndrewRogue: You haven't lost Aria yet :p I'm still trying to decide what to do. I've never quite been in a position like this before.

Adm H Sopko: OOC, I'd wait till the end to choose. It leaves so much room for character stuff that choosing too soon would kill it. IC... I'd go whenever the time was right.

AndrewRogue: Indeed. The IC cue is the one I wait for.

Adm H Sopko: ::Nods::

Adm H Sopko: Still... I doubt even the corniest words from Bandon are the cue<G>

AndrewRogue: Mwahahaha!

Adm H Sopko: I'd put a tin foil hat on Aria and cart her around on the little bus if that were the case<G>

AndrewRogue: *is still patiently awaiting... something* XD This is too peaceful despite all the ominousness presented by Alex. Where's some DEATH DOOM to give me the easy way out?

Adm H Sopko: I'm still trying to recover from the fact that I fell 300 feet and GOT UP

AndrewRogue: You kick ass. Simply put. It was close, but damnit, you kicked ass :p

Adm H Sopko: Hunter's Gung-Ho Gun name is Hunter the Impervious

AndrewRogue: That is an awesome name... <_<

Adm H Sopko: Or Hunter the Stee

Adm H Sopko: l

AndrewRogue: Hunter the Steeeeeeeeeeeee~l

Adm H Sopko: With a 50 million double dollar bounty!

AndrewRogue: Now I wanna watch Trigun. Bastard.

Adm H Sopko: Last seen with Aria the Butterfingers, Jerriford the Cleric, and Bandon the Pansy

Adm H Sopko: Hunterrrr Steeeel! He's a man, whose name you'd love to touuuuuuuch, but you musn't touuuuuch. His name sounds good in your ear, but when you hear it, you musn't fear! Because his name can be said by anyone!

AndrewRogue: XD

Adm H Sopko: The Simpsons rock

AndrewRogue: Not so much lately.

Adm H Sopko: Last season was amazingly redeeming... this season... haven't seen so much

AndrewRogue: There's been some good stuff.

Adm H Sopko: Yeah
