You have just entered room "AND."
Adm H Sopko has entered the room.
coughingpuppy has entered the room.
AndrewRogue: Rah
SirAlexTheFirst: Well, Kirk is going into convulsions at the idea of me playing Deus Ex on Realistic, so we'll do this.
AndrewRogue: Wow. Convulsions. He should get that schecked.
AndrewRogue: *checked even
SirAlexTheFirst: So!
Sarcazmo47: So!
SirAlexTheFirst: Megaman-ish music plays. Choose your stage!
AndrewRogue: Speaking of... should I play MMAC?
Sarcazmo47: Thunder Falcon!
Adm H Sopko: Blast Mongoose!
SirAlexTheFirst: Whittyre Hall Room 201, Aria and a Man Twice Her Age, The Lone Ur-Priest Ranger, or Neon Genesis Bandongelion?
Sarcazmo47: *dies laughing*
AndrewRogue: Heh. Hehehehe... HEHEHEHHE!
AndrewRogue: So... is someone going to choose?
Adm H Sopko: Aria and a Man Twice Her Age!
SirAlexTheFirst: Any other voices?
coughingpuppy: We haven't heard from Bandon in a while.
Sarcazmo47: That's okay!
AndrewRogue: Er... I'm fine with whatever.
Sarcazmo47: Let's go with Aria and a Man Twice Her Age!
coughingpuppy: Okay.
SirAlexTheFirst: O...kay...
AndrewRogue: ...why is this scenario so popular? <_<
Adm H Sopko: It's funny
SirAlexTheFirst: I would comment on Kirk wanting Aria and a man twice her age, but I think I just did.
SirAlexTheFirst: So!.
AndrewRogue: :p
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
AndrewRogue: Wow. 109 tracks in Real Player. I have enough to last all session <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: Will takes Aria out of the ballroom, but stops at the door to speak to a familiar looking lady.
SirAlexTheFirst: And her giant cat.
Adm H Sopko: (She has 2!<G>)
AndrewRogue: Would Aria recognize said girl? <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: Why, yes.
SirAlexTheFirst: "We're going home now, Lea. Come back whenever you want to. Thanks for helping tonight."
AndrewRogue: "Ah... Lea..." *smiles awkwardly as she turns to face her*
Adm H Sopko: (Aria: "YOU!" Lea: "YOU!" ::Catfight:: )
SirAlexTheFirst: Leatanna jumps a bit at the sight of Aria, and nods.
SirAlexTheFirst: "Have a good evening, sir... and madame..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea's eyes don't leave Aria as Will gently pulls her away.
AndrewRogue: "Ah... you too Lea." *as she's pulled*
Dark Japheth has entered the room.
AndrewRogue: ~Uhm... Lea's here Hunter...~
SirAlexTheFirst: And so you go outside.... and chat with Hunter...
Adm H Sopko: ~Yes... I figured as much... I just ran into Shadow~
AndrewRogue: ~Ah...~ "So Miste... er, Will. Where are we going?"
AndrewRogue: (One second)
SirAlexTheFirst: "I was thinking of back to the Yarovan Headquarters, so we can continue the... topic of conversation you asked about. And, of course, see a few of the more esoteric bits of Whittyre at night."
AndrewRogue: "Ah... of course." *she smiles trying to do away with the uncomfortableness of running into Lea*
AndrewRogue: 'So what sort of places are we going to see?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "That's a good question. I hadn't really thought about it, actually."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will chuckles. "Is there any particular place you'd like to go?"
AndrewRogue: "Well... not that I know of. I'm not really familiar with the city."
AndrewRogue: "How about we visit someplace you like... or at least want to see?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "What do you think of it, so far? It's rather... different, from any other place in Amaryllis, isn't it?
AndrewRogue: *she nods* "Very. Its... interesting. I almost wish they had a normal door or two or maybe a restaurant like in Gelendar."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I see..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will starts walking you down the street, carefully avoiding all the teleporters on the sidewalk.
SirAlexTheFirst: "Perhaps a break from the city, then?"
AndrewRogue: "That would be nice... Aside from Ver... um... a trip out to Berges, I haven't been outside of a city in a while." *she looks down oddly as he skips the teleporters*
AndrewRogue: "You don't use the teleporters either?"
SirAlexTheFirst: *laughs* "They're convenient for travel, but not very... I don't know. Romantic, perhaps? They take the fun out of travelling."
AndrewRogue: *she chuckles* "For me especially. They ruin my ability to walk, which is a hassel for everyone."
SirAlexTheFirst: "There's that, too. Say... how has Hunter been, really?"
AndrewRogue: *she looks a bit reluctant* "I... he's been strained."
AndrewRogue: "He's doing fine for the most part, but he's also been pushing himself quite a bit."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Undoubtedly. I meant in relation to his companions, though. What do you think about him?"
AndrewRogue: "What?" *she looks down towards the ground* "He gets on well with Jerri... He doesn't particularly care for Bandon."
AndrewRogue: *she purposely stops there.*
Dark Japheth: (*grins*)
SirAlexTheFirst: "Really? Why?..... ah, I'm sorry, I must be making you uncomfortable."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will continues, after a moment of silence, "Have you been making progress here, in your.. investigations?"
AndrewRogue: "...not really." *she sighs* "The only real important thing we've found is Verity's capture..." *she leaves off awkwardly*
AndrewRogue: "Aside from that, we really haven't found anything."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will nods sympathetically, and changes direction towards a giant spire of a building. "This way lies one of the better kept secrets of sightseeing, here..."
AndrewRogue: "Oh?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Will just smiles, walks into a lift cylinder on the side of the building, and.... keeps on walking, through the back wall. "This way!"
AndrewRogue: "That's exactly what I mean about wanting a door..." *walks through, slowly*
AndrewRogue: (One sec)
SirAlexTheFirst: You feel a sensation of movement, and catch a glimpse of a starry night sky before Will's hands cover your eyes lightly. "Sorry, I should have warned you. It's a little disconcerting to be up here for the first time."
Adm H Sopko: (It's Karnage's Tower!)
SirAlexTheFirst: "Don't worry, though, you can't fall. Tell me when you're ready to look."
Sarcazmo47: Why does this seem so much to be leading to date rape?
SirAlexTheFirst: ("Because you touch yourself at night." - Family Guy. Sorry, but that's the only appropriate answer here.)
AndrewRogue: "Ah... I... I think I should be able to see."
SirAlexTheFirst: 'All right, then."
SirAlexTheFirst: He removes his hands. Your eyes open?
AndrewRogue: Yep. She has no idea what she's going to see anyway...
SirAlexTheFirst: Aight. You're extremely high up in the air, with nothing below you except the spires and towers of the city, far below.
SirAlexTheFirst: It's quite windy up here, and the air is oddly warm.
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm going to call for a Balance check here, I think.
AndrewRogue: A'ight.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
AndrewRogue: 17 <_<
AndrewRogue: "Ah!" *she pulls up close to Will, scared to death to find herself hovering way above the city*
Adm H Sopko: (You know what? I think Predator and Alien are the best examples of Lawful and Chaotic Evil)
Adm H Sopko: (Or at least good ones)
AndrewRogue: "W-where are we?" *clinging to him, tenatively looking down*
SirAlexTheFirst: He holds you steady until you calm down.
SirAlexTheFirst: "We're on top of the dome over the city, outside it."
AndrewRogue: "A-and we can't fall? I'm... I'm sorry but I have enough problem with the ground."
SirAlexTheFirst: "It's practically flat up here. There's no slope for miles in any direction, and they have barriers where it gets steep anyways."
AndrewRogue: *she loosens up a bit, looking suitably embarassed* "Sorry... that was really startling."
Dark Japheth: (Heh, and she's got that inner ear balance problem! *laughs!*)
AndrewRogue: (I know. Gawd I can only imagine what that would do to her)
Dark Japheth: (She'd probably start vomiting uncontrollably)
SirAlexTheFirst: "Don't worry. Just lie down if it gets to you."
Dark Japheth: (*shrugs* I just want to kill the mood, though)
SirAlexTheFirst: He sits down on the nothing himself.
AndrewRogue: (If there's a mood, I'd appreciate you killing it <_<) *she nods uneasily, sitting next to him* "It... it really is quite pretty up here..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will nods, taking in the view.
AndrewRogue: "So, how'd you find... find this place?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "So, you know about the exo..." he speaks at the same time as you, and laughs. "Ah? One of our contacts here told me about it. It's a bit of a secret, ordinarily the Council keeps it to themselves."
AndrewRogue: "I wonder why... Now what were you saying?"
AndrewRogue: *she readjusts her gaze towards the sky. Its less disorienting*
SirAlexTheFirst: "They don't want a million people coming up here. It's kind of a special place, and being outside the city, there's no scrying up here."
AndrewRogue: "No scrying?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Not a thing."
AndrewRogue: "Why's that?"
Dark Japheth: (I know what kind of moment it is! Its a JERRY SPRINGER MOMENT!)
SirAlexTheFirst: "The city dome blocks magical effects. Any scrying out here from inside would have to be set up, and the Council likes to use this place for.... things that shouldn't be scryed on."
Sarcazmo47: DATE RAPE
Dark Japheth: (....lmfao)
AndrewRogue: "Ah... should we be up here than?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Yes. Yes, we should. You mentioned the exosuits, didn't you?"
AndrewRogue: "During the meeting? I... I think I did."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will nods. "That's why we should be up here. Most of Whittyre doesn't know about them, and most people on the Council would like to keep it that way."
Sarcazmo47: http://www.ninjaburger.com/fun/creativity/ar t/Centaurs.jpg
AndrewRogue: "They don't? That... seems like it would be something difficult to hide. I mean... they sent them to Gelendar to capture Verity."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Yes, but how many people saw that? How many people from Whittyre, even?" Will sounds a little sad.
AndrewRogue: "I... don't know. It wasn't on the terminal-things?"
SirAlexTheFirst: He shakes his head. "It said the military captured Verity. No specifics. The news here is pretty tightly controlled, and geared to make most of the people think certain things."
AndrewRogue: *she nods* "Hunter was talking about that when he couldn't find anything bad about the council."
SirAlexTheFirst: "So, they're more than a little secret. And, to answer your question, they're not for trade. We asked." *grin*
AndrewRogue: "Ah. I was wondering about that." *she smiles weakly*
SirAlexTheFirst: "What else were you wondering about?"
Dark Japheth: (...that brick in your hand. You don't intend to... use it? Do you?)
AndrewRogue: "Not much to be honest. I don't know much about your job, what Yaravon does. I never learned much about government or economics." *she nods* "Congratulations on the deal though."
SirAlexTheFirst: He nods. "Thank you, though I really didn't have much to do with it."
SirAlexTheFirst: And is silent for a while, looking up at the stars, before asking "What are you looking for here, anyways? If you don't mind talking about it? I'
SirAlexTheFirst: m terribly curious."
AndrewRogue: "To be honest... we really don't know."
AndrewRogue: "These pillars seem to come to us more often than we go to them. We just... we just have to figure out what it is."
Sarcazmo47: So is Hunter's father part of the evil conspiracy, or the good conspiracy?
AndrewRogue: "I am worried about Verity's capture though..." *she sighs*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Pillars.... what do you mean?
AndrewRogue: "Ah? That's what Nellix called the problems we have to solve. The Pillars."
SirAlexTheFirst: "who... did you say told you that?"
AndrewRogue: "Ah..." *she laughs weakly* "Nellix."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Wow."
AndrewRogue: "We met him at the Church of Christ in Gelendar when Verity was trying to take Excalibur."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will is completely silent for a long time.
Dark Japheth: (LOL)
Dark Japheth: (No subtlety at all. Aria is the kind of person who'd be like "Yeah, Frodo has the ring. Go get him!" to Saruman)
AndrewRogue: (She'd also give away their location, number, strengths, blood types and astrological signs. The poor girl knows no better ;_;-)
SirAlexTheFirst: Finally, he says, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
AndrewRogue: "What?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "And I don't really think you should tell me."
Dark Japheth: (Dude, she'd be like "You want a personal item to make voodoo dolls with?" ANd then give them the wax to make the doll.)
AndrewRogue: "Ah!" *she suddenly looks a bit concerned* "I... I probably did say a little too much."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I apologize for my actions tonight."
SirAlexTheFirst: *stands up*
AndrewRogue: "What do you mean?"
AndrewRogue: *she remains seated, avoiding looking towards the ground*
SirAlexTheFirst: "I... thought that you, and Hunter, were doing some sort of boondock work for the Church of Gabriel, and found out about the Exosuits by accident, or by Hunter's connections."
Sarcazmo47: Boondock work?
AndrewRogue: *she looks at him curiously* "Boondock work?"
Sarcazmo47: Boondock Saints?
Sarcazmo47: Killing everyone?
Dark Japheth: IN NOMINE PATRIS, ET FILII, ET SPIRITUS SANCTI
Dark Japheth: AMEN
SirAlexTheFirst: "Unimportant errands."
AndrewRogue: "Ah." *she sighs* "This... it really is important."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I see."
AndrewRogue: *she leans back on the dome* "We really don't know what we're doing, but we know that much."
SirAlexTheFirst: "And the pillars are problems you need to solve?"
AndrewRogue: "Right."
SirAlexTheFirst: "But you have no idea what they are."
AndrewRogue: "Some of them we do... but otherwise its just research, searching and hoping."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I.... see. Have you spoken with anyone other than Nellix about these pillars?"
AndrewRogue: *smiling slightly* "Are you sure you want to know?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Will nods. "It's really rather important."
SirAlexTheFirst: All traces of humor have drained from his face long ago.
AndrewRogue: "Throkk... Glaysa... King Heolstorm... Mister Scarlett... Maybe Lea... My father..."
AndrewRogue: "Hunter told someone in the Labs..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will pulls out a pencil and paper and scribbles something as you're talking.
SirAlexTheFirst: "I see."
AndrewRogue: "What're you doing?" *looking at the bit of paper and pencil*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Nothing you need to worry about. I've just heard... mention, before, of some pillars."
AndrewRogue: "Oh? What've you heard?" *she looks painfully relaxed as long as she doesn't look down. And she seems to be missing that he looks very serious*
AndrewRogue: "Hmm... Verity knows about them." *still thinking idly*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Of course...."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Do you know the CEO of the Yarovan Corporation, by any chance?"
AndrewRogue: *she shakes her head* "I don't really know anyone in Yaravon. I only really met Mister Scarlett and Lea and then Hunter got k... um... No. I don't know the CEO. Why... why do you want to know?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Will sighs. "I've heard him called one of the Pillars of Amaryllis before."
AndrewRogue: *she sits up quickly* "What?"
Adm H Sopko: (different metaphor, probably)
SirAlexTheFirst: "You're certain that these pillars are problems, and you have to get rid of them?"
AndrewRogue: "We've had to do something with every one of them..."
AndrewRogue: May I sense motive Alex? Even that might concern Aria a bit.
SirAlexTheFirst: "Do... something?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Of course you can.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
AndrewRogue: 9 <_<
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
SirAlexTheFirst: He appears perfectly serious.
AndrewRogue: "Its hard to tell what we have to do sometimes. We need to get rid of the Hummers for example... and Verity... we did kill him before but he lives now." *she sighs* "Its hard to tell."
SirAlexTheFirst: "So... you have to kill them?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Will looks aghast.
AndrewRogue: *she shakes her head* "I... I hope not. Marion doesn't deserve such, nor do the HUNTERS. And Verity... I... he deserves another chance."
SirAlexTheFirst: *scribbles furiously*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Do... do you remember exactly what Nellix said to you about the pillars?"
AndrewRogue: "I... I thought you said that maybe I shouldn't tell you all this..." *she's starting to sound a bit concerned*
SirAlexTheFirst: "I don't know, actually. But... I... I can't let you go kill my superiors. I mean, that's just not right. Company loyalty and everything."
AndrewRogue: *She laughs weakly* "Oh come on... I... I doubt he really has anything to do with the Pillars..."
AndrewRogue: *she pushes herself to her feat, avoiding looking down*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Are you certain? I don't really think I can see him as a world-threatening evil man, or anything, but...."
AndrewRogue: "Even if... I... I don't think we'd have to kill him..." *she's starting to sound really uncomfortable*
AndrewRogue: "But... ... ..." *she looks uncomfortably to her hand where the ring Verity gave her sits*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Well... I'm not being entirely honest with you either, I suppose. He... might... be one of them, I guess."
AndrewRogue: "This... maybe we should get down. Hunter should hear this."
AndrewRogue: *she readjusts her dress slightly to fix disarray from sitting and laying and being in the wind*
SirAlexTheFirst: "I.... don't know...."
AndrewRogue: "If he really is on of the Pillars, then... then he poses a threat to all of Amaryllis."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Yes. I suppose you're right. Doesn't make me any happier, though."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will sighs. "Just tell me one thing. Is Hunter in love with you?"
AndrewRogue: "What?" *she looks damnably shocked by that sudden question*
SirAlexTheFirst: "I mean, do you think he is?"
AndrewRogue: "I... I don't know." *she closes her eyes as opposed to looking down* "He... he knows how I feel..." *she's turning a fierce red and sounds exceptionally uncomfortable*
SirAlexTheFirst: "How.. you feel?" Will sounds about as uncomfortable as you.
AndrewRogue: *she turns away from him* "I... I... love your son." *it just sort of comes out unintentionally*
SirAlexTheFirst: Will says absolutely nothing.
SirAlexTheFirst: He just waits, for a long while.
AndrewRogue: *she's also silent for a long time... its the first time she REALLY admitted what she's felt for so long*
SirAlexTheFirst: "That complicates things," he finally chokes out.
AndrewRogue: ".............."
Adm H Sopko: (They arranged a marriage for me didn't they?)
Dark Japheth: (He loves you, too.)
AndrewRogue: "...how...how does it?" *her back stays towards him*
SirAlexTheFirst: "I...."
SirAlexTheFirst: He stops,
SirAlexTheFirst: Doesn't go on.
AndrewRogue: "...well?" *she sounds... upset?*
SirAlexTheFirst: "I'm sorry, Aria."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Can... can you turn around, please?"
AndrewRogue: *she does slowly, opening her eyes up. She looks... pathetic. She's even tearing up.*
Sarcazmo47: Roll a patheticness check!
SirAlexTheFirst: Will is also crying, and trembling. And holding a small, curved metal object in his outstretched hand.
AndrewRogue: Uhm... what sort of curved object is this?
SirAlexTheFirst: It seems to have a hole in the end. Roll me an Int check.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
AndrewRogue: 15?
AndrewRogue: (ARGH. BRB. One Second >_<)
SirAlexTheFirst: You've seen similar objects hanging on the walls of the sanctuary, in the Church of Gabriel here.
Sarcazmo47: You know, in the assult rifles section.
Sarcazmo47: This baby can be found in the Sporting Goods department.
Sarcazmo47: Retails for about 195 dollars.
Adm H Sopko: 195.95
Adm H Sopko: 109.95 even
Adm H Sopko: Shop Smart
Dark Japheth: (And has infinite ammo against Zombies)
Adm H Sopko: Shop S-Mart
Dark Japheth: (But your primitive intellect couldn't possibly understand.)
Adm H Sopko: (Please don't shoot Aria)
Dark Japheth: (Shoot the dome, kill both of them!)
Adm H Sopko: (TAKE THE SHOT HUNTER)
SirAlexTheFirst: Wow, you guys are awfully convinced that this is a gun all of a sudden)
Dark Japheth: (Nah, we just had a chance to make an Evil Dead reference)
AndrewRogue: "What is that?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "D-did you bring any w-weapons with you?"
AndrewRogue: *she shakes her head, biting her lip, the tears welling further* "You... you aren't..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Not... what?"
AndrewRogue: "Why do you want to know... I... I... I can't carry my Guisarme around town... I shouldn't..."
AndrewRogue: *pleadingly* "What is that?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Will wipes his eyes with his sleeve. "It's called a gun, Aria. It's like a bow, only more powerful and more accurate."
Sarcazmo47: Modern weapons and mecha meet swords metal armor!
Sarcazmo47: Who's gonna win?
AndrewRogue: "And... what are you... why do you have it?"
Sarcazmo47: WHO KNOWS?
SirAlexTheFirst: "I'm supposed to kill you now. I have to. I don't want to. I really don't want to. I wish I didn't have to, please understand, but... it's too important. I work for him, I can't just let you go."
AndrewRogue: *she steps back slightly, the tears welling harder as she brings her hands up into a defensive position* "I... please... I won't let you..."
AndrewRogue: ~Hunter...~ *she sounds absolutely broken if he can hear this*
Adm H Sopko: ~Yes, Aria?~
Dark Japheth: (He can't hear you.)
Dark Japheth: (In all likelihood- he's inside the dome.)
Dark Japheth: (No scrying gets through. Likely, communication won't get in either.)
AndrewRogue: (Alex's call! Do the circlets/Aria's psyche powers penetrate the dome?)
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes, they do.
Dark Japheth: (In that case, my apologies for interrupting.)
SirAlexTheFirst: No, you're right to question.
SirAlexTheFirst: HUNTER's does not.
AndrewRogue: ~Your father... he...~
SirAlexTheFirst: Aria's does.
SirAlexTheFirst: Aria cannot hear Hunter's responses.
AndrewRogue: ~Please Hunter... the dome. On top of the dome...~ *she sounds desperate not hearing a response*
Adm H Sopko: ~He what, Aria? What's going on?!~
AndrewRogue: (Waiting on Will's next action for continued speech...)(
SirAlexTheFirst: "I'm sorry. You, Hunter, everyone you mentioned.... I wish they hadn't picked you both. I knew he had potential, but.... no. They won't let me let you go. They'll kill me."
SirAlexTheFirst: "And... it's true. I know it looks bad to you, but please, understand. They're working against Nellix and the others to stop... all of this."
SirAlexTheFirst: He waves his hand at the dome and the city below.
AndrewRogue: ~He's going to...~ "And you... you're going to help them?" *she tries to blink away the tears as she assumes the basic combat stance she was taught*
Adm H Sopko: ~He's going to what? Aria! C'mon!~
SirAlexTheFirst: "I... Nellix is lying to you. Haven't you seen the creatures he's made to murder people?"
AndrewRogue: ~The CEO of Yaravon is one of the pillars. All of Whittyre is trying to stop us. Your father knows everything. He's going to... I'm sorry Hunter...~ "The Hunters were... were not made for that."
Adm H Sopko: (You can't hear me, remember)
Adm H Sopko: ~He's going to what? ARIA TALK TO ME!~
AndrewRogue: (I know. That's why she's not actually responding. She's just talking and hoping)
SirAlexTheFirst: "I wish I was wrong, I really do. But... we have a chance, here, to stop all of this. You're his chosen ones, and I can... stop you. Here."
AndrewRogue: "You're the one's in the wrong!"
AndrewRogue: "Please... please... don't do this..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "How? I can't. I'm betraying... the world, if I let you go here."
Adm H Sopko: ~Aria, talk to me goddamnit!~
AndrewRogue: "Or your betraying it if... if you stop me..."
Sarcazmo47: Take the shot, Sopko.
Sarcazmo47: Take it.
SirAlexTheFirst: "N-no. You're.... you know about the exosuits, you know what they're doing to Verity. You know it isn't right."
AndrewRogue: "And... we'll stop them... free Verity... the Exo-Suits... they shouldn't exist..." *she swallows tightly*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Nellix is supporting that, though. Why do you think you got sent down here?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Will still sounds extremely desperate.
AndrewRogue: "You... you're wrong... He didn't want this to happen to Verity..." (how far apart are Will and Aria?)
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm thinking about 20 feet.
SirAlexTheFirst: He's backed off a lot.
SirAlexTheFirst: "No, he did. That's why you're all being sent down here, so that Whittyre could trace Verity."
AndrewRogue: *her legs tense as she looks him right in the eye* ~Maybe he won't... He wants to kill me...~ "You're wrong..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "You saw the news yourself, Hunter helped them! I didn't believe it, but he was down there...."
AndrewRogue: "He didn't help them capture him! He... he was giving them information so they wouldn't hamr him!"
AndrewRogue: *harm
SirAlexTheFirst: Will manages a shaky laugh. "Listen to yourself. You honestly believe that? I'm sorry..."
AndrewRogue: ~I love you Hunter...~ *she'll lunge for the weapon*
SirAlexTheFirst: Init, since he's ready for that.
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
AndrewRogue: 16 <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: What are you doing?
AndrewRogue: She's probably suffering mad penalties for being on the dome though. She'll attempt a disarm.
AndrewRogue: So... he's getting an AoO on her.
SirAlexTheFirst: He won't take it.
AndrewRogue: Oh yay. Uhm... its opposed attack rolls I think...
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
AndrewRogue: Er... 24
AndrewRogue: ...20.
SirAlexTheFirst: You win.
SirAlexTheFirst: Are you taking the gun, or just knocking it away?
AndrewRogue: (Wow. Will sucks... Knocking it away.)
SirAlexTheFirst: The gun goes flying off. Spot check.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Dark Japheth: NOPE
Dark Japheth: YOU NEVER KNOW
AndrewRogue: ...she probably suffers a massive dizzy spell or something...
SirAlexTheFirst: Ouch.
SirAlexTheFirst: Will attempts to shove you.
AndrewRogue: Touch AC 11!
SirAlexTheFirst: Ordinarily this would require a bull rush, but on the dome I think he can just push ya.
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
SirAlexTheFirst: Opposed Strength.

AndrewRogue: ...RADSCROPIONS!
SirAlexTheFirst: No.
SirAlexTheFirst: Just a 1.
Dark Japheth: No 20 was rolled
AndrewRogue: <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: Gimme a d20.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
SirAlexTheFirst: Will slams his body into you as you knock the gun away, and you are knocked down and fly across the dome's smooth surface.... and find yourself almost falling, but not quite. The slope has increased a lot.
Dark Japheth: Oh god, balance checks, for the poor girl without a sense of balance
AndrewRogue: On a see through dome -_-
SirAlexTheFirst: Will steps over to in front of/above Aria, sweat running down his face. "Please..."
AndrewRogue: "What?" *she grasps desperately at nothingness, trying to re-orient herself*
SirAlexTheFirst: "I... just... close your eyes. I'm so, so sorry..."
AndrewRogue: "Please... you don't have to..." (How precarious is her perch or what not?)
SirAlexTheFirst: Balance check every round.
AndrewRogue: (My action?)
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes. Which is now.
AndrewRogue: Balance check first?
SirAlexTheFirst: Balance first.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
AndrewRogue: 5
SirAlexTheFirst: You slide down another 10 feet. And you're considered prone, by the way.
SirAlexTheFirst: You can Climb back up the slope... but Will is waiting for you there.
AndrewRogue: Does sliding inhibit me from doing anything?
SirAlexTheFirst: Nothing, except that you are considered prone.
SirAlexTheFirst: Which... does stop a lot of things.
AndrewRogue: "There... there really isn't something to stop me from falling, is there?" *begins trying to push herself back up*
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
AndrewRogue: 24 Climb
SirAlexTheFirst: "I... I brought you up here, because you talked about the exosuits. And you're not supposed to know about those unless you're important.... so...."
SirAlexTheFirst: He looks slightly more guilty than before.
SirAlexTheFirst: You can climb up to where Will is and do something to him, or you can crawl sideways if you want.
Adm H Sopko: (Aria's important!)
AndrewRogue: (Crawl a bit sideways to try and get a better position to move up)
Adm H Sopko: (Everybody loves you, Aria!)
AndrewRogue: Or actually, does that provide any better position?
SirAlexTheFirst: Will walks, a bit unsteadily, sideways, keeping himself in front of Aria should she try to climb back up. He also pulls out a small wooden stick, and waves it in the air, stuttering something.
SirAlexTheFirst: Your action again. Balance again.... you're still down where the slope is steeper now...
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
AndrewRogue: 12!
SirAlexTheFirst: Not good enough. Aria slides down 10 feet further. The slope is definitely too steep to even try to stand here.
AndrewRogue: Climbing possible?
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.
AndrewRogue: "And... and what do you intend to do with Hunter?" *she desperately tries to force herself up*
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
AndrewRogue: 10
SirAlexTheFirst: Will looks absolutely miserable, but doesn't answer you. And you can't manage to climb up any further now.
SirAlexTheFirst: Doing anything else?
Dark Japheth: (Dying.)
AndrewRogue: "What do you intend to do?" *her Nimbus glows as bright as it ever has* (I'm done...)
AndrewRogue: *with Hunter?
SirAlexTheFirst: "He'll.... have to..." Will shakes his head. He doesn't move, just watches Aria.
SirAlexTheFirst: Balance check.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
AndrewRogue: ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHH
SirAlexTheFirst: Nother d20.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
AndrewRogue: ...
coughingpuppy: ...
AndrewRogue: Fuck. Aim.
Sarcazmo47: Andrew, I feel your pain.
Dark Japheth: Damn
Dark Japheth: Curse of Andrew.
Sarcazmo47: My girlfriend killed my character with AIM dice.
coughingpuppy: ((I sympathize greatly. That's worse than my 1-2 roll against the Phantasmal Killer.))
coughingpuppy: ((I never killed a character of yours.))
AndrewRogue: (5th one in how many rolls? ;_;-)
SirAlexTheFirst: Aw geez. Give me some time for this. You have time to shout up at Will some more.
SirAlexTheFirst: DAMN THE AUTOSMILEY
AndrewRogue: (;_; )
AndrewRogue: "Why? Why? ...gods at least... at least listen to Hunter!"
Adm H Sopko: (Roll 30d6!)
AndrewRogue: "It shouldn't... it shouldn't have had to come to this..."
AndrewRogue: "Do you... do you really trust them?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "I can't help him. There's nothing I can do. I don't know if I trust them, but..."
AndrewRogue: "Be a coward then! GODS DAMN YOU WILL! Even if... you... you kill me here... gods... protect your son!"
AndrewRogue: "You're wrongwrongwrong and if I have to die to prove it... protect Hunter. Please... please... please..."
SirAlexTheFirst: You can barely hear his whisper over the wind. "The Ten Sounding Pillars... no, you're wrong. You have to be wrong."
AndrewRogue: "YOU'RE WRONG!" *her entire body shakes with fury. "Five pillars... five pillars... not ten!"
AndrewRogue: "I'm begging you... do something for Hunter. You're a coward... a craven coward. Is this what you believe?"
SirAlexTheFirst: You can't see Will's reaction to that, because right then, a screaming voice echoes in your head. Yes, THAT voice.
SirAlexTheFirst: Unlike all its previous messages, this one is very clear and very short. It wails "AAARRRRIIIIIIAAAAA!"
Adm H Sopko: (IIIIIIRRRRRIIIIIIAAAAA)
Adm H Sopko: (The voice is Zerium. I'm sure of it)
SirAlexTheFirst: And when it's finished, you're falling.
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
AndrewRogue: Do I have time to Telepath on the way down?
SirAlexTheFirst: Will lunges forward with his wand, but slips....
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
Sarcazmo47: AHHHHHHHHHH SUSPENSE
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
SirAlexTheFirst: A translucent wall appears in the rapidly increasing space above you, and Will slams into it.
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes, you do.
AndrewRogue: ~Hunter... Yaravon is against us. Do something for Verity... get him out...~
AndrewRogue: ~I'm really sorry Hunter. You're going to have to finish this on your own it seems...~
Adm H Sopko: ~Yes, yes! I know! Tell me where you are, damnit!~
Adm H Sopko: ~WHAT? What does that mean, Aria?!~
AndrewRogue: ~On my way down. I love you Hunter.~
SirAlexTheFirst: The city is really very pretty for about 5 more seconds.
Dark Japheth: ....
AndrewRogue: ~I really do...~
Adm H Sopko: (shut up pf)
AndrewRogue: -End Transmission- *she does that illogical thing people do... curl and try to land*
Dark Japheth: (OMG. That was the funniest fucking quote I've ever heard)
SirAlexTheFirst: Lessee.
Adm H Sopko: (The... innuendo... overwhelming...)
Dark Japheth: (The city is really very pretty for about five more seconds. And the implied end of the sentence is "Before you crash into it and spread evenly across the bottom")
Adm H Sopko: (Hunter survived... but he had trees to break the fall, and fell onto earth, not CONCRETE)
SirAlexTheFirst: Give me five Fort saves.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
AndrewRogue: ...
coughingpuppy: ((*whacks the AIM dice*))
AndrewRogue: 18 15 14 20 18
Sarcazmo47: I propse that Aria be awarded a posthumous hero point for super-awsome death scene.
AndrewRogue: *Aria flips over in mid-air, her feet pointing towards the ground as she desperately looks to the ground*
Sarcazmo47: *propose
Dark Japheth: I second the motion.
Dark Japheth: It'd give her time to scream telepathically.
Dark Japheth: :p
AndrewRogue: *Tears fall above her as she comes to the end of her fall* ~...love you.~ *it ends suddenly as she lands, desert sand whipping into the air. It is the sickest thud you've ever heard*
AndrewRogue: *The desert sand settles on the night air and drifts down, the small bit of water pools and the night breeze dies*
AndrewRogue: *Silence... and nothing more.*
SirAlexTheFirst: (As does Aria)
AndrewRogue: (*adds Deceased to character sheet*)
Sarcazmo47: ...well.
Adm H Sopko: Fuck
Dark Japheth: ....damn.
Adm H Sopko: It's up to Aurelia and Hunter. WOO. What a crazy, mismatched pair!
Dark Japheth: I'm going to write up a poem for you. Aria's Requiem.
coughingpuppy: ((Hey, Aurelia CAN cast Raise Dead...))
Adm H Sopko: We have to find her first
AndrewRogue: So... Hunter's stage next? <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.
SirAlexTheFirst: I need a break, though.
Adm H Sopko: K
AndrewRogue: Understandably.
Adm H Sopko: He needs to go work on his Glasya impression
AndrewRogue: Just for kicks...
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
coughingpuppy: No. The dice really do hate you tonight.
SirAlexTheFirst: (No, I was pretty sure it would wind up that way. Either that, or she throws Will over.)
AndrewRogue: To be honest, I've expected this since Sunday <_<
AndrewRogue: And... there was no way she'd willingly throw Will off.
Dark Japheth: Poor, poor Aria.
Dark Japheth: Alas, I knew her well.
Adm H Sopko: Poor Aria
Adm H Sopko: And poor Hunter...
AndrewRogue: Just for kicks, Alex, wanna roll what that damage would have looked like? :p
Dark Japheth: There are no dice adequate enough.
Sarcazmo47: 50d6?
SirAlexTheFirst: She was roughly a mile up.
Dark Japheth: A dinfinite would not adequately sum it up.
coughingpuppy: Ouch.
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
SirAlexTheFirst: It caps at 50d6.
AndrewRogue: Ow.
Dark Japheth: If the first ten feet don't count...
Dark Japheth: And presuming it doesn't cap...
coughingpuppy: The pressure from the fall would probably have killed her before the impact itself.
AndrewRogue: *shudder* That death is going to be real personal to Hunter. He nearly bought it the same way.
Dark Japheth: It'd be 527d6.
Dark Japheth: I believe.
Sarcazmo47: Well, there is terminal velocity and all.
Dark Japheth: Eh
Sarcazmo47: 9.8 meters per second?
Dark Japheth: Terminal Velocity and actual physics have no place in D&D.
Adm H Sopko: It'd be 126d6 then
Adm H Sopko: Or so
Dark Japheth: Otherwise, we'd calculate speed for every fall. Me am too lazy.
Dark Japheth: 1d6 per ten feet beyond the first = cool by me.
AndrewRogue: Theooooretically she could survive 126d6 <_<
Dark Japheth: Riiight.
Dark Japheth: Well
Dark Japheth: If they all were 1s.
Sarcazmo47: Roll all 1's!
Dark Japheth: The ultimate case of radscorpions
Sarcazmo47: GO!
SirAlexTheFirst: She was bouncing off the wall at points, too.
AndrewRogue: ...actually. I take that back. Its 10 past her death threshold at minimum damage.
Dark Japheth: Nevermind!
AndrewRogue: Or so.
Dark Japheth: Tumble checks, dude.
AndrewRogue: With her dex?
Dark Japheth: True.
coughingpuppy: Your knees would break trying tumble checks like that.
Dark Japheth: Yeah, you were pretty much dead.
AndrewRogue: I dread to think of what dying like that would feel like -_-
Dark Japheth: Nah, DC for that is only 90, actually
Dark Japheth: to ignore all falling damage.
coughingpuppy: It'd probably be very quick, actually.
Dark Japheth: Should have been a monk.
Dark Japheth: It'd suck on the way down
Sarcazmo47: Then she'd just slow fall.
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
SirAlexTheFirst: If you got 30 on all 5 saves you would live at -1 HP.
Dark Japheth: Mage and feather fall
coughingpuppy: If you were a cleric you could cast Fly on the way down and live.
AndrewRogue: Its not the impact that sucks. Its as she's telepathing all calmly.
AndrewRogue: *on the way down
Dark Japheth: The fall actually isn't too bad, probably kinda fun
AndrewRogue: How long would that fall be anyway?
Dark Japheth: Its the sudden stop at the end that gets you
Dark Japheth: 9.8 meters a second.
AndrewRogue: How many meters is a mile?
Dark Japheth: Convert meters to feet (I'm too dumb and have been out of school too long to remember), and then figure out how many of those fits into a mile.
Sarcazmo47: Terminal velocity...roughly 130 feet a round?
Sarcazmo47: Ehh, more like 140.
Adm H Sopko: 130 feet per second
AndrewRogue: Er... how far is a mile? I'm stupid right now...
Dark Japheth: I have no idea, math isn't my strong suit.
Dark Japheth: 5280, I think.
coughingpuppy: Yeah, that's it.
Dark Japheth: Numbers. Are. Not. My. Thing. I am probably wrong
Dark Japheth: WOAH
Dark Japheth: IM NOT
Dark Japheth: WOO
AndrewRogue: 40 or so seconds
Dark Japheth: YEah.
Dark Japheth: You had time to recite a poem.
Dark Japheth: Or say I love you.
Dark Japheth: Feel good, if he'd shot you...
Dark Japheth: You'd have survived and then fallen
Adm H Sopko: Wait...
Adm H Sopko: Didn't he say it was flat ground for hundreds of feet?
Dark Japheth: He did. He probably lied.
Adm H Sopko: True
AndrewRogue: He also said there was a barrier.
SirAlexTheFirst: Didja pay attention when he said....
SirAlexTheFirst: SirAlexTheFirst (2:37:15 AM): "I... I brought you up here, because you talked about the exosuits. And you're not supposed to know about those unless you're important.... so...."
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
Dark Japheth: There are a LOT of clues leading up to it.
Dark Japheth: "The city dome blocks magical effects. Any scrying out here from inside would have to be set up, and the Council likes to use this place for.... things that shouldn't be scryed on."
AndrewRogue: I even told Gorth what I felt. ^_~
SirAlexTheFirst: He was intending to kill her as a peon who knew too much.
AndrewRogue: Didn't I mention that after every line that it felt like he should "I'm sorry... but you have to die?"
AndrewRogue: *he should have said
SirAlexTheFirst: Well, it did mean that.
Dark Japheth: THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T BE SCRIED ON.
Dark Japheth: LIKE MAYBE MURDER.
Dark Japheth: Although for a while, it was the ultimate date rape scene.
Dark Japheth: :P
Adm H Sopko: This is where Hunter turns evi
Adm H Sopko: l
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, yeah.
AndrewRogue: *sighs* I should have gone for the trip instead of climbing sideways but you know... Aria wouldn't have been able to do it.
Dark Japheth: And you never gave her the crystal rose, Hunter.
Sarcazmo47: And Verity brings him back to goodness!
AndrewRogue: Juxtaposition!
SirAlexTheFirst: Hunter prolly thought that when she was like "your father is going to..."
Dark Japheth: The crystal rose, Queklain said... give it to someone you care about.
Dark Japheth: :p
Dark Japheth: YOU DIDN'T.
Adm H Sopko: He wasn't sure. He has two loves
Dark Japheth: Aria, you still have a character, though
Dark Japheth: Your race now includes the subtype "Dead"
AndrewRogue: Heh
Dark Japheth: Risen Martyr. >.>
Dark Japheth: I dunno.
SirAlexTheFirst: She has another scene. At least.
SirAlexTheFirst: It's time to face her patron.
SirAlexTheFirst: And that voice.
Adm H Sopko: And then... she's gone forever?<G>
Dark Japheth: The Patron....
Dark Japheth: Depends on how powerful the patron is, and what Aria's willing to do for life. Which means its a GM call at best.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: The suspense! WHO ARE THE VOICE AND PATRON?
Sarcazmo47: Do we get to watch?
Adm H Sopko: I got confused a bit
Adm H Sopko: The Yarovan is working FOR Nellix... and they're on the side of Verity
SirAlexTheFirst: .....?
Sarcazmo47: No, the Yarovan thinks Nellix is a liar and a cheat.
Dark Japheth: No
SirAlexTheFirst: you mean AGAINST
Dark Japheth: Yeah
Adm H Sopko: You contradicted yourself many times
Dark Japheth: They said "We fight against nellix, against all this!"
AndrewRogue: Oh. Wait. I get it.
Adm H Sopko: It was hard to interpret
AndrewRogue: Its pretty simple. Nellix is AGAINST Verity according to them.
SirAlexTheFirst: It's HIS viewpoint.
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.
AndrewRogue: At least Aria made your dad cry...
Adm H Sopko: But it sounded like Will wanted Verity free
AndrewRogue: Right.
SirAlexTheFirst: He did.
SirAlexTheFirst: Will is pro-Verity, anti-Nellix.
AndrewRogue: He thinks we/Nellix want him locked up.
coughingpuppy: Aurelia thinks so too, now.
AndrewRogue: Hopefully Hunter can explain because we're down to three party members <_<
Sarcazmo47: Assuming you can get Bandon back.
AndrewRogue: Now... bathroom break. The suspense has destroyed my stomach.
SirAlexTheFirst: Too bad.
AndrewRogue: <_<
Sarcazmo47: Which I'm sure you can, if you say "Hey, Aria's dead!"
SirAlexTheFirst: if only she'd mentioned the number five before....
Adm H Sopko: I knew he was mixing his metaphors
AndrewRogue: Weeeeell, it wasn't the first thing on her mind.
Dark Japheth: The thing I'm interested in is... WHO THE HECK IS THE PATRON. That kind of thing drives me nuts
Adm H Sopko: Yes.
AndrewRogue: Heh. BRB
Dark Japheth: Because I know its so goddamned close, I KNOW that its too damn familiar
Dark Japheth: BUT IT DRIVES ME WITH PASSION I CANNOT DENY.
Dark Japheth: Except now I have to go to bed.
Adm H Sopko: THE BEAST WITHIN YOU HAS AWOKEN THE BEAST WITHIN ME
SirAlexTheFirst: ...
Dark Japheth: Passion resumes in the morning.
SirAlexTheFirst: But... but...
Dark Japheth: But what?
SirAlexTheFirst: I was gonna intro you... ah well.
SirAlexTheFirst: Gnight.
Dark Japheth: Nah, then I can stay.
Dark Japheth: :p
Dark Japheth: I have a four hour drive to pick up my brother.
Dark Japheth: Which means
Dark Japheth: mom gets the car
Dark Japheth: and I get to sleep then
SirAlexTheFirst: it'd be after Hunter's scene
Dark Japheth: Sounds fair.
SirAlexTheFirst: Holy.....
Dark Japheth: Did you ever see the PrC I banged out randomly for Zao-Lot?
SirAlexTheFirst: it's 4 am
Adm H Sopko: See what happens when you show loyalty to Hunter?
Dark Japheth: I can stay up another... five hours, tops, because then I gotta leave.
Adm H Sopko: Jerry just got put into stasis
Adm H Sopko: Aria just got put into splatsis
SirAlexTheFirst: Maybe we should do Hunter tomorrow/another time...
Adm H Sopko: Aww
Dark Japheth: lies.
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm shaking.
Dark Japheth: It happens after every meaningful PC death.
SirAlexTheFirst: And it's really kina late for east coast.
coughingpuppy: Hm. I could do something, if you don't want to run Hunter, Alex.
Dark Japheth: Grab coffee. God knows I am.
Dark Japheth: no rest for the wicked, Alex.
Adm H Sopko: East coast! WOO
SirAlexTheFirst: Also i have announcements.
AndrewRogue: Yay announcements!
Dark Japheth: What is the precise nature of the announcements?
Dark Japheth: Good, bad, HoG style...?
SirAlexTheFirst: what do people think of knowledge checks to know stuff?
Sarcazmo47: Uh?
coughingpuppy: Mrrrr?
Sarcazmo47: They're pretty standard.
coughingpuppy: I guess it depends on what it is...
Sarcazmo47: Are you proposing an alternate method?
Dark Japheth: I like the idea of the Lore System you set up.
Dark Japheth: Or thought up. LARP owns like that.
Dark Japheth: :P
SirAlexTheFirst: the system I mean. Sorry for the 1 hand typing
Sarcazmo47: No problem.
AndrewRogue: Knowledge is annoying simply because of massive CC point investment most of the time.
Dark Japheth: Way better than Knowledge, which is significantly better than nothing but not by much.
Sarcazmo47: You mean like "If you have 4 ranks, you know this much" system?
SirAlexTheFirst: yes
Sarcazmo47: I can dig it.
AndrewRogue: CC skills are the bane of my existnence.
Sarcazmo47: Makes more sense to me, frankly.
coughingpuppy: Yeah, I agree.
SirAlexTheFirst: i think it makes a lot more sense
Sarcazmo47: Why are you typing one handed, Alex?
Dark Japheth: I agree.
Dark Japheth: The question though, what do you do for Knowledge Arcana? Not everyone has access to the necronomicon to know arcane lore.
Dark Japheth: :P
SirAlexTheFirst: eating popcorn w/other
AndrewRogue: XD
AndrewRogue: That strikes me as REALLY funny for some reason.
Dark Japheth: Anyway.
Dark Japheth: SO are we switching to Lore?
SirAlexTheFirst: yes
SirAlexTheFirst: one character at a time, tell me what knowledge skill ranks you have.
Sarcazmo47: ..
AndrewRogue: Aria: Religion 1 <_<
Sarcazmo47: Uhhhh....
Sarcazmo47: Uhhh...
SirAlexTheFirst: What
Sarcazmo47: *rummages for character sheets*
coughingpuppy: Aurelia:
coughingpuppy: Religion: 14, Planes 10, Arcana 6, Geography 3.
Sarcazmo47: Verity's are kind of irrelevant, being from another plane.
Dark Japheth: As are Arias, seeing as she's DEAD
coughingpuppy: Planes checks apply everywhere, though.
SirAlexTheFirst: V&A's Religion is useless here
AndrewRogue: *coughs* He said everyone <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: General levels:
Adm H Sopko: I have no ranks in any knowledge
Dark Japheth: Knowledge Arcana 12 ranks.
Sarcazmo47: Bandon: Religion 12, N&R 5 ranks, Bartending 10 Ranks.
Dark Japheth: (Bartending!)
Dark Japheth: (Most. Useful. Knowledge. Ever.)
Adm H Sopko: Unless you count Profession: Trader as a knowledge thing...
SirAlexTheFirst: Knowledge: Bartending?
Dark Japheth: That seriously rocks
Sarcazmo47: Might be profession.
Dark Japheth: Bandon just went up twenty five awesome points
Sarcazmo47: It's just "Bartending"
Sarcazmo47: Drinkmixing.
Sarcazmo47: You know.
Dark Japheth: Profession bartender, yeah, but Knowledge Bartending is like knowledge of the bar, history of the drinks you mix, where to get the wine, and so on
Dark Japheth: My gods
Adm H Sopko: Bandon is an ass though
Dark Japheth: Its so incredible
SirAlexTheFirst: That is Profession
Dark Japheth: I now have a NEW SKILL TO SINK POINTS INTO.
AndrewRogue: XD
Dark Japheth: Used to be Gemcutting, Knowledge Astrology, and of course, my favorite, Knowledge: Equines
Dark Japheth: Or Lagomorphs, if I was feeling particularly vindictive
coughingpuppy: Aurelia has Profession: Gemcutting ranks.
coughingpuppy: But will probably never use them again.
Dark Japheth: Aurelia earns five awesome points for htat.
AndrewRogue: Curse you people with Skill Points! <_<
Dark Japheth: Yeah, everyone uses em. Make a crystal rose!
Sarcazmo47: Effective gemcutting ranks.
coughingpuppy: Well, she had them because she was pretending to be an agent for a gemcutter once upon a time.
SirAlexTheFirst: Okay.
Sarcazmo47: That was when Verity was posing as her mercenary bodyguard.
Dark Japheth: Crystal roses in this game are not merely decorate art objects, but indeed powerful artifacts
SirAlexTheFirst: Lores go on a scale of 1-5.
Sarcazmo47: Didn't they end razing the entire city?
coughingpuppy: Yes.
Sarcazmo47: Right, right.
SirAlexTheFirst: 1 is knowing the bare basics of something. 2 is average knowledge of a field.
SirAlexTheFirst: 3 is more in-depth, a field you've studied or are experienced in.
SirAlexTheFirst: 4 is things only a scholar of that subject would know
Sarcazmo47: Could V&A's knoweldge at least count on philosophical grounds, if not local deities?
SirAlexTheFirst: 5 is things only someone who's studied that subject for many years would know; basically everything about that area.
Adm H Sopko: Hunter has 8 ranks in Trading.
Adm H Sopko: But thats professoin
SirAlexTheFirst: This is for knowledge only, and only things that you would make knowledge checks for. They represent a broad level of familiarity with something. Profession and other skills apply to other, more specific fields.
SirAlexTheFirst: Pretty much all characters will have level 1 in all common lores, regardless of if they had points in it or not. For example, Hunter has Religion 1 despite no points there.
SirAlexTheFirst: Aria has Religion 2.
SirAlexTheFirst: V&A (and Karn) have Religion 0, for Amaryllis religions.
Sarcazmo47: Philosophy, perhaps?
SirAlexTheFirst: They know religious philosophy, but that's not really what the Religion lore represents.
SirAlexTheFirst: *starts listing*
SirAlexTheFirst: So, Aria has Religion 2.
AndrewRogue: Handy for where she is <_<
AndrewRogue: *shuts up*
SirAlexTheFirst: Aurelia has Planes 3, Magic 2, Occult 1 (for Amaryllis), and a 0 in most other things.
SirAlexTheFirst: Bandon has Religion 3, Nobility 2
coughingpuppy: Why the Occult ranks?
SirAlexTheFirst: As Gorth pointed out, Knowledge Arcana needs splittin.
SirAlexTheFirst: Magic lore is about the nature of magic. Handy for an Ur-Priest.
Dark Japheth: Indeed.
coughingpuppy: Right.
Dark Japheth: Would it be possible, as I hail from Nagukor, to have a religion dot or two there, but have little that relates to the mainstream Amaryllis? As in, I know my animism well, but damned if I can remember the gods names.
SirAlexTheFirst: Occult is about various matters such as the abilities of supernatural creatures, pseudoreligious stories, odd things Arcana covers that aren't related to magic itself.
coughingpuppy: Ahh. All right.
coughingpuppy: Mrrrrk. Okay, well, I'm really tired so I'm going to bed. 'Night, guys.
Dark Japheth: Sleep well.
SirAlexTheFirst: Your knowledge about the basics of magical energy is true here,
AndrewRogue: Aw. Night Staci.
SirAlexTheFirst: Gnight
coughingpuppy has left the room.
SirAlexTheFirst: But Occult doesn't translate between the worlds as well, it's a bit more plane specific.
Dark Japheth: Nifty, that.
AndrewRogue: Indeed.
Dark Japheth: So how about this dead chat, huh.
Dark Japheth: Man.
Sarcazmo47: We're waiting for Alex to finish his announcements.
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm waiting for questions
SirAlexTheFirst: Or for Gorth to tell me his ranks
AndrewRogue: Seems pretty clear to me.
Dark Japheth: 12 ranks in Knowledge Arcana
Adm H Sopko: I have any ranks in anything?
Dark Japheth: and when and if I get my prestige class approved, I'll drop a few into astronomy. Maybe.
Dark Japheth: Do I get to select my lore, or do you?
Dark Japheth: And again, how do I split it up?
SirAlexTheFirst: That translates to Occult and Magic 3.
Dark Japheth: I.e. what categories is Arcana split up into? Just Occult and Magic?
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.
SirAlexTheFirst: Ah!
Dark Japheth: Now what does Occult 3 imply? And what does Magic 3 imply?
SirAlexTheFirst: You can buy more Lore at a cost of 5 skill points per level.
Dark Japheth: Nice.
SirAlexTheFirst: Levels 4 and 5 require DM approval though, and are not forthcoming without good RP reasons.
SirAlexTheFirst: You can also gain lores without spending skill points, through study or being taught by someone who has that lore.
Adm H Sopko: Again, I ask, do I have any ranks?
SirAlexTheFirst: Did you have any Knowledge skills?
Adm H Sopko: No. But to say a character has no working knowledge of anything just because he doesn't have ranks is utterly stupid.
Dark Japheth: True that
Adm H Sopko: It's why I hate starting characters at 1
SirAlexTheFirst: That's true. I said even untrained people have 1 in the more common lores.
Adm H Sopko: What about things like Law, Local, or N&R?
SirAlexTheFirst: Hunter has Religion 1, Geography 2
Adm H Sopko: Having been in the Yarovan, those are things Hunter would have some knowledge of.
Adm H Sopko: K
Dark Japheth: Any other announcements?
SirAlexTheFirst: Um..... Aria is dead.
AndrewRogue: ;_;
Adm H Sopko: Permenantly?
SirAlexTheFirst: Maybe, maybe not.
AndrewRogue: After that falling out with her patron though...
SirAlexTheFirst: There is definitely potential for her to become permanently dead.
AndrewRogue: We'll see when the scene comes!
Dark Japheth: Indeed.
Adm H Sopko: Continue! ::Presses play::
Dark Japheth: Error with DM: (A)bort, (R)etry, (F)ail
Dark Japheth: *pushes R*
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh... are people still feeling that there's no big scale progress?
Dark Japheth: Whassat mean?
AndrewRogue: Well... uh...
SirAlexTheFirst: I'll work on that.
SirAlexTheFirst: MEGAMAN MUSIC
AndrewRogue: I'd say that was pretty big.
SirAlexTheFirst: Choose your scene!
Adm H Sopko: Whittyre 201!
AndrewRogue: I'm going to second that. Its the most sensible follow up.
SirAlexTheFirst: Aight.
SirAlexTheFirst: Go!
SirAlexTheFirst: ~~~~~GO~~~~ since I never did that earlier
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter is stunned to see Shadow here, and laughs a bit:: "Hey Shadow!"
SirAlexTheFirst: Shadow's head whisks around, and spies Hunter. The cat growls in acknowledgement.
Adm H Sopko: ::He blinks:: "Whoa, Shadow... whats wrong?"
SirAlexTheFirst: He doesn't pay you any more heed, slinking off backstage.
Adm H Sopko: ::He wonders why the hell a cat he's been friends with all his life suddenly turns cold:: "Jeez..." ::He then looks around the room for Lea::
SirAlexTheFirst: Spot check.
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Adm H Sopko: 19
SirAlexTheFirst: You don't see her anywhere.
SirAlexTheFirst: The party has settled down considerably. but a large number of people are still hanging around, talking and eating.
Adm H Sopko: ::giving one last look to where Shadow was, he walks over to a new group of people, introducing himself::
SirAlexTheFirst: What kind of people? Or just random?
Adm H Sopko: Randomly. A place that he won't be rudely interrupting by going there
SirAlexTheFirst: There's a group sitting around and bantering pretty close, then. Most are human, couple elves, all fairly formally dressed.
SirAlexTheFirst: As you approach, one of the men there waves you in. "Heya, stranger. Whatcha up to?"
Adm H Sopko: ::He smiles and nods to the man:: "Nothing of much notice. How about you?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Jes hangin out here. Ah'm Jack, and these are Florence, Diabe, and Brant. What's yer name?"
Adm H Sopko: "Pleasure to meet you. I am Hunter Sopko."
SirAlexTheFirst: He shakes your hand till it's about to fall off. "Nice to meetcha. Haven't seen you around one o' these before - are you with the Yarovan people?"
Adm H Sopko: ::He shakes it right back:: "I was. Now I'm with the Church of Gabriel, technically."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Ah, really! What brings you on this way, then?'
Adm H Sopko: "Well, I'm just conducting some investigations around Amaryllis, seeing if everything is on the up and up, you know."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Ahh, good job there! Whatcha think of them Yarovan, then? We gettin a good deal offa this?"
Adm H Sopko: "Well... I know personally that the Yarovan is probably the best firm they could have chosen... but they've set up a monopoly on Whittyre trade, basically"
SirAlexTheFirst: "An' is that bad?"
Adm H Sopko: "Kind of. For the rest of Amaryllis."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Ah, well, then."
SirAlexTheFirst: The rest of the people there giggle.
Adm H Sopko: "So... what do you folks think of Whittyre? Everything going good?"
SirAlexTheFirst: One of the women speaks up. "Well, sir, I thank the gods every day that I live here. Just look around you!"
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter smiles and chuckles a bit:: "Yes, it is quite an interesting place. It's taken me quite a while to get used to it all since I arrived."
SirAlexTheFirst: "In fact, I'll tell you why you haven't found anything wrong with this inspection business, there's nothing wrong here to find. I've never found another citizen who'd cheat me or deal in bad spells!", she proclaims.
Adm H Sopko: ::He keeps smiling:: "I have been impressed with the place, yes. But duty still calls and I must at least take a look around."
SirAlexTheFirst: She nods. "Well, you have fun with that. Shouldn't take you very long!"
Adm H Sopko: "Of course. If I may excuse myself, gentleman, and lady." ::He bows, heading towards a group that doesn't look like it'll make his brain cry::
SirAlexTheFirst: You get Aria's first telepathic message right about now.
Adm H Sopko: Aww
Adm H Sopko: (Kinda fast...)
SirAlexTheFirst: (They really didn't go all too far)
SirAlexTheFirst: (Most of the groups here will make your brain cry in one way or another anyways)
Adm H Sopko: (Ah. They're all TV soaked and idiots. Then I'd leave and run into Lea!)
SirAlexTheFirst: So...
Adm H Sopko: ((::Scrolls up to see what they were exactly:: ))
SirAlexTheFirst: AndrewRogue (1:58:32 AM): ~Hunter...~ *she sounds absolutely broken if he can hear this*
Adm H Sopko: ~Yes, Aria?~
AndrewRogue: (You want me to C&P her stuff?)
AndrewRogue: (When it comes up obviously)
SirAlexTheFirst: (I got it)
AndrewRogue: (A'ight ^_^)
SirAlexTheFirst: AndrewRogue (2:00:19 AM): ~Your father... he...~
Adm H Sopko: ~He what, Aria? What's going on?!~ ::Hunter stops suddenly in the room, looking visibly disturbed::
SirAlexTheFirst: ~Please Hunter... the dome. On top of the dome...~ *she sounds desperate*
Adm H Sopko: ::He runs out the door at that, suddenly remembering he doesn't know where that is. He stops and turns to the person he sees at the door:: "Excuse me! Do you... YOU!"
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea stares back at you in shock. "Hunter?!"
Adm H Sopko: "Lea! Do you know how to get to the top of the dome?!"
SirAlexTheFirst: *quickly regains her composure* "The what?"
Adm H Sopko: ~C'mon, Aria! Keep talking! Where are you!?~
SirAlexTheFirst: ~He's going to...~
Adm H Sopko: ~He's going to what?!~
Adm H Sopko: "I need to know, Lea! Aria's up there! She says something is happening!"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Up where?" She frowns. "Hunter, get a hold of yourself. What's going on? Where is this place you're talking about? On top of... the city dome?"
SirAlexTheFirst: ~The CEO of Yaravon is one of the pillars. All of Whittyre is trying to stop us. Your father knows everything. He's going to... I'm sorry Hunter...~
Adm H Sopko: ~He's going to what? ARIA TALK TO ME!~
Adm H Sopko: ::He looks even more panicked:: "Lea, I need to know! I think my father might be trying to kill Aria up there!"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Hunter? Hunter?" Lea waves her hand in front of your face before you start talking again. "That's ridiculous. There isn't any way on TOP of the dome."
Adm H Sopko: ~ARIA TALK TO ME GODDAMNIT!~
SirAlexTheFirst: "Your father and Aria walked out of here together, looking just fine, a few minutes ago. They were going back to his apartments at the Yarovan headquarters."
Adm H Sopko: "Are you absolutely sure about that?! Please, Lea! I'm begging you!"
SirAlexTheFirst: ~Maybe he won't... He wants to kill me...~
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea starts to look concerned. "Have you been drinking in there, Hunter? There's no way your father would kill Aria. Don't be ridiculous!"
Adm H Sopko: ::He puts his shaking hands on Lea's shoulders and looks up into her eyes:: "Look at me, Lea. I'm serious."
SirAlexTheFirst: Ava, at Lea's side, starts growling when you grab Lea.
Adm H Sopko: ::He turns to Ava and gapes:: "You're against me now too?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Quiet, Ava. Hunter... what's going on? How do you know this?"
Adm H Sopko: "Aria is telling me this through the circlets!"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Whaaaaat?" Lea blinks. "Are you... sure? But... there's no way on top of the dome. Maybe she means the roof of the headquarters? But.. why?"
Adm H Sopko: "I don't know! She's not responding to me. I have to move fast!" ~ARIA! Please tell me where you are!~
SirAlexTheFirst: ~I love you Hunter...~ (this one comes packed with emotion)
Adm H Sopko: ::He's so panicked, the next one comes out in both thought and speech:: "~You... you what?~"
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea considers.... and makes a snap decision. "All right, let's go... but where?"
SirAlexTheFirst: She meows, and Ava gets up. Shadow appears in a couple seconds.
Adm H Sopko: "I don't know... I'm trying to ask her where she is but she's not telling me anything... Is there anyplace that you could possibly get to the top of the dome from?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "I what? I trust you, Hunter. If you say Aria's in trouble, I believe you. But... there's literally no way to the top of the dome. I'm your father's bodyguard here, and he hasn't told me about any such thing."
Adm H Sopko: ::He sighs, and thinks furiously:: "Are there any REALLY tall buildings?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Lots. There's an observation tower that you can stand on the roof of and look out over the city - maybe they'
Adm H Sopko: ~Please, Aria! Just tell me where you are!~
SirAlexTheFirst: re there?"
Adm H Sopko: "It's our best shot, I think."
SirAlexTheFirst: "All right, then."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea starts hustling out with her cats, blinking through the teleporters on the sidewalk when she gets outside. "Follow me. Don't get left behind."
SirAlexTheFirst: And y'all make your way to the observation tower, while I make my way to the bathroom. Just a minute.
Adm H Sopko: ::He runs with her::
SirAlexTheFirst: The tower, on the ground, is... nonexistant. There's just a small square on the sidewalk marked "Observation Tower", which Lea runs onto without pausing.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter follows her right in::
SirAlexTheFirst: The 'tower' turns out to be just a large, flying disc, about 100 yards in diameter, at a dizying height above the city. The floor turns transparent around where you step.
SirAlexTheFirst: There are a good number of people up here, mostly couples enjoying the night, but no sign of Aria or any violence.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter looks around frantically, up as well as down::
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea and the cats look around. "Have you heard anything else?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Spot check.
Adm H Sopko: ::He nods:: "Yes... but nothing on where she is."

SirAlexTheFirst: ~Hunter... Yaravon is against us. Do something for Verity... get him out...~
Adm H Sopko: ~What do you mean? Aria, c'mon you gotta tell me where you are!~
SirAlexTheFirst: ~I'm really sorry Hunter. You're going to have to finish this on your own it seems...~
Adm H Sopko: ~WHAT?~
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea keeps on looking. "She's not around here, and I don't see her on any of the roofs. Not even headquarters."
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter continues looking up after that::
SirAlexTheFirst: ~On my way down. I love you Hunter.~
SirAlexTheFirst: ~I really do...~
SirAlexTheFirst: Spot check.

AndrewRogue: (...)
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea looks frustrated. "We should be able to see any high place from here. But I don't see her - or him for that matter. And neither do Shadow or Ava."
SirAlexTheFirst: The cats make worried mews.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter sinks to his knees, shivering. She's seen Hunter in this state before::
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea runs over to his side. "Hunter? Hunter! What's the matter?"
Adm H Sopko: "I... I think something really bad has happened..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Like what? And where?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter puts his face into his hands, his shock taking precedence over everything else:: "I think she's dead, Lea..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea... is not at all sure what to make of this. Her tone is a weird mix of bafflement and anger. "Hunter, WHAT? What do you want me to DO? Are you saying that your father has MURDERED Aria?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter speaks in a soft monotone, still in a great deal of shock:: "I don't know what to do anymore, Lea. I know what I heard. Aria is not the type to make that thing up."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Are you sure that that was her talking? Why couldn't she tell you how to get to her?"
Adm H Sopko: "I'm sure it was her... there wasn't any way it couldn't have been... but I don't know... it was almost like she couldn't hear me."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea shakes her head. "Let's not make a scene here. We should go... back to headquarters, I think, and look in your father's apartment. All right?"
Adm H Sopko: ::He struggles to stand, and does so:: "All right..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea wraps an arm around you protectively, and takes you back and out through the streets somewhat slower.
Adm H Sopko: ::He leans on Lea, using her for support:: "Thank you..."
SirAlexTheFirst: She says in your ear, very softly, "If this is you being drunk, or some sort of prank, I'm going to hand you over to the cats, and then take a turn biting you myself. But you seem serious enough."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Think hard, now. Why would your father hurt Aria?"
Adm H Sopko: ::He sighs:: "You know I'd never lie about this sort of thing drunk or sober, Lea..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I also know your father, and so do you. Would he kill anyone?"
Adm H Sopko: "I don't know.... I don't think so... thats why I'm almost as confused as you are..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Were you, or she, talking with him at the party?"
Adm H Sopko: "Yes."
Adm H Sopko: "He seemed rather interested in her, actually... he wouldn't even talk to me."
SirAlexTheFirst: "And what did he say? Did he seem out of sorts, angry? Why did she leave with him, anyways?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Interested?"
Adm H Sopko: "Not really... he was asking her a lot about the exo-suits and how we knew about them"
SirAlexTheFirst: "About the what?" Lea stops for a second. "I don't know what those are..."
Adm H Sopko: "Oh... it's what the Whittyre government was using to capture Verity... they're these big metal things. I can't explain much beyod that"
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea picks up the pace, then. "Those sound classified. Highly classified. That might have done it... but he wouldn't KILL her over that!"
Adm H Sopko: "Maybe... what has gone on in the Yarovan lately?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Just this trade contract. I'm sure you know the significance of it."
Adm H Sopko: "Oh yeah... I was surprised as hell when I heard about it... but after being here... do you really want to do business with them?"
SirAlexTheFirst: She looks oddly at you. "Of course. Have you seen some of the devices they have here? We're going to make a killin-" She stops suddenly. "Um... sorry."
Adm H Sopko: ::He looks down a bit:: "It's alright..." ::Hunter goes silent at that::
SirAlexTheFirst: She goes on, after a minute. "The exports we'll bring out of here will change the rest of the world forever. Yarovan is going to utterly crush all the other trading companies, and... maybe dominate the global economy."
SirAlexTheFirst: "In time, of course. It's.. kind of scary, now that you think about it. But we don't stand to lose anything on this deal, even if it falls through."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Everyone is elated, especially the people like your father, who have been trying to make this work for..... Hunter? Are you all right?"
Adm H Sopko: ::There are tears falling from Hunter's eyes, and he shakes his head:: "She... she told me she loved me, Lea..."
Adm H Sopko: "Those were her last words... she told me she loved me..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea stops in her tracks. "She said that?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter stops as well:: "Yes... I tried to tell her too, but I don't think she heard me... I knew that she loved me for a while... but I kept holding myself back to her..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea slumps a little bit, here, but then starts hustling you, almost running. ".... interested in her? Are you sure he was killing her?"
Adm H Sopko: "More sure than I have been about anything lately. Lea... please... I need to tell you something."
SirAlexTheFirst: And you're in front of a building, looking almost normal for Whittyre, angular and tall. The Yarovan name and logo are splayed across the front.
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea pauses. "What is it?"
SirAlexTheFirst: There is a touch of bitterness in her voice, as if she already knows what you're going to say - and doesn't like it.
Adm H Sopko: ::Seeing the look on her face, and the tone of her voice, he pauses:: "Whats wrong, Lea?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Nothing."
Adm H Sopko: ::He is silent for a moment, then decides discretion is the better part of valor:: "Fine... let's just go see my father..."
SirAlexTheFirst: She is silent for a moment, then punches several of the numbered buttons on the door pad (similar to the National Labs), and the door slides open onto a blank grey room.
SirAlexTheFirst: When you step into this room, you are teleported to... an apartment that you instantly recognize, as it's decorated with many pieces of art and knickknacks that belong to your father.
Adm H Sopko: Is he there?
SirAlexTheFirst: Not that you can immediately see. Lea calls, "Mr. Sopko? Aria? Are you in here?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter enters:: "Dad?"
SirAlexTheFirst: And sure enough, Will Sopko pops out of a door. His face is flushed, and he's soaked in sweat. His clothes are rather disheveled, too. "Lea? Hunter? Excuse me? It's a little late to burst in here, don't you think?"
Adm H Sopko: "Where is she Dad?"
SirAlexTheFirst: He sounds annoyed, and there's a bit of a catch in his voice as he goes on, "Lea, would you leave us for a minute, please? Actually, don't come back, and try not to burst in here again?"
Adm H Sopko: "NO! Lea, stay where you are."
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter turns to his father:: "WHERE IS SHE?!"
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea looks uncomfortable... but stays.
SirAlexTheFirst: Will looks even less comfortable. "I... She... ahem... I, ah, don't believe that's really any of your business at the moment. Miss Aria is indisposed. But fine."
Adm H Sopko: "Bullshit. What did you do to her, Dad! Did you kill her?! TELL ME THE GODDAMN TRUTH!"
Dark Japheth: (And now the fun begins.)
SirAlexTheFirst: Your father just stares at you, like a deer in front of a bowman. Or like a man who's just had his apartment invaded and been accused of murder.
Dark Japheth: (Appropriate, because thats what he is.)
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea growls out of the corner of her mouth, "Hunter...."
Adm H Sopko: "She told me." ::He points to his circlet:: "She told me through this. You can't hide from me, Dad."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will Sopko starts shaking. He presses on the door he came out of, and it opens. "Fine, then. You go in there and explain yourself to her."
SirAlexTheFirst: Shadow and Ava start growling.
Adm H Sopko: Sense motive

SirAlexTheFirst: He seems quite sincere. And quite angry.
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea's eyes flicker to the cats, and back to Will.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter glares daggers at his father, not knowing whether to trust him or not. After a bit, he takes Lea's hand gently and begins to walk towards the room::
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea jerks you back sharply.
Adm H Sopko: ::He looks to her:: "What is it?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Shadow and Ava don't smell anyone else in that room. Will, what the hell is going on?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Mr. Sopko doesn'
SirAlexTheFirst: t answer.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter growls:: "You'd better answer soon, Dad... My patience is running thin." ::His hand falls to his sword::
SirAlexTheFirst: (someone just got OWNED by the Scent feat)
Dark Japheth: (Thats why Scent is the most awesome thing in the game. Too bad normal PC's can't get it.)
Adm H Sopko: (::Huggles the kitties:: I love you ::Kisses Shadow:: And I love you ::Kisses Ava:: )
SirAlexTheFirst: Will whispers, "I'm sorry. It was an accident."
SirAlexTheFirst: Inits!
Adm H Sopko: ::Fuck the sword, Hunter grabs his Dad by the collar:: "WHAT DO YOU FUCKING MEAN IT WAS AN ACCIDENT?" ::His voice is shaking, and tears are falling again::

SirAlexTheFirst: Ouch.
SirAlexTheFirst: The instant you start to move forward, Will suddenly has a curved metal tube in his hand, pointed at your face. "Don't come any closer!", he half barks and half cries.
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea shouts, "Hunter, stop!" behind you.
SirAlexTheFirst: Are you gonna stick with that grabbing him by the collar?
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter does as he is told, but there is a look of badass vengence on his face::
SirAlexTheFirst: You hear a click behind you, and Lea says calmly, "Will, put the gun down and step back and tell us what happened."
SirAlexTheFirst: (Not just vengeance, forsooth. BADASS vengeanc.)
Adm H Sopko: (Great... Hunter is in the middle)
SirAlexTheFirst: Nono. Hunter's got this gun thing about four inches from his head.
Adm H Sopko: He's still in between Lea and Will
SirAlexTheFirst: It's wobbling back and forth quite a bit, as Will's entire body is shaking violently.
SirAlexTheFirst: "It... it was a mistake," he rasps. "She didn't mention the number. She should have mentioned the number. We can go out and get her raised. It was a mistake."
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter just glares at his father, looking down the barrel of the gun:: "So you're not a murderer, you're a fool."
SirAlexTheFirst: But then he shakes his head. "No! She worked for him! So do you! You're working for Nellix, and you betrayed Verity."
Adm H Sopko: "Betrayed him? Those fools carted me in there to watch him get picked up, and asked me the stupidest questions imaginable. If you're getting your information
Adm H Sopko: from the news here, then you ARE a fool."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea: "Will, put the gun down. Now."
Adm H Sopko: ~Just give me a signal, Lea... I'll break his fucking arm, I promise you.~
SirAlexTheFirst: "Lea... Lea." Will is panting now, and looking like he's about to collapse. "You've got to listen to me. Put your gun down. Hunter here has been betraying his companions and working for evil."
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter gets a good long laugh out of that::
SirAlexTheFirst: "Aria was, too, even though she didn't think she was. She... she... I didn't mean to kill her, I shouldn't have, but she was working for the wrong side anyways."
*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea doesn't say anything.
Adm H Sopko: "Dad. Put that thing down now."
SirAlexTheFirst: He breathes. "Noooo."
Adm H Sopko: "Here. I'll put my sword down even." ::He loosens the strap around his waist and his sword falls to the floor:: "Go on, lower it."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will's shaking gets a bit more violent. "Noooooooo. I... you're working for Nellix... I.. have to... stop you."
Dark Japheth: (mmm, Amaryllis Masterpiece Theater. *brews more coffee*)
Adm H Sopko: "Nellix is a pissant who won't tell us what the fuck is up. Verity is a pompous ass as well. Nellix allowed Verity to live. He wants Verity to redeem himself. As do the rest of the gods."
Adm H Sopko: ::The last few sentences are spoken slowly, almost word by word::

SirAlexTheFirst: You hear him say, very, very softly, "You're lying."
Adm H Sopko: "I'm not lying, Dad. I was there. Now drop whatever that is and we'll talk this over. You've already killed someone tonight... don't let your son be another body."
SirAlexTheFirst: He seems to consider this for a moment. "Leave. Get out of here and never come back. Stop working for him. Leave her."
Adm H Sopko: "Never. I've lost too much on this trip already. I've sacrificed much, and I WON'T let that be in vain. There are five evils about Amaryllis. I will not let them win."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Five. See? Right? Only five. There are ten pillars. The Ten Sounding Pillars. You want nothing to do with us. It was a mistake, and I'm sorry. Turn around and leave."
Adm H Sopko: "I want to know why she died."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea: "Will, you're not feeling well. Put the gun down. If it was a mistake, we can get this sorted out."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will chokes. "Why do you want to know that? I told you, it was an accident. I thought she was going to kill the CEO. She said she wanted to kill the pillars."
Dark Japheth: bye all, parents up.
Dark Japheth has left the room.
Adm H Sopko: "Of all the stupid..." ::Hunter brings his fingers to pinch the bridge of his nose, his brain in much pain::
SirAlexTheFirst: "But she didn't mention how many, until it was too late and she was falling. I tried to save her. That has to... it was an accident. And why do you care?" He looks back to Lea.
Adm H Sopko: (I'm assuming that was to Lea0
SirAlexTheFirst: That was to you.
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea isn't saying anything.
Adm H Sopko: "Why do I care? I loved her, Dad! And I know she loved me... it was the last thing she said to me... She'd never said it to me before until now..."
Adm H Sopko: ::Tears stream from Hunter's eyes, his look of anger softening a bit, but not much. These are VENGENCE tears!::
SirAlexTheFirst: Will stops breathing and his hand goes absolutely still. He pulls the metal tube back and towards his own head, and there's a deafening CRACK! Then Will falls over and Lea and the cats run forward.
Adm H Sopko: "DAD!" ::He quickly falls to his knees and checks to see if he's still alive, or if there is anything he can do:: (Heal check?)
SirAlexTheFirst: He's fine, and sobbing. Except for his hand which is shattered and bleeding rather profusely.
SirAlexTheFirst: The gun he was holding has flown back against the wall.
SirAlexTheFirst: (Everybody cheer for crack shot Lea.)
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter grabs the gun first, just to be sure::
AndrewRogue: (Uhm... I'll give a small cheer...)
Adm H Sopko: (Wow... you have NO idea how much you've captured the true Lea at this moment, Alex)
SirAlexTheFirst: "Hunter, don't touch that!", she yells.
Adm H Sopko: ::He tosses it away from everyone, onto the bed:: "What is it?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Get out of here and go find Aria. It shouldn't be hard, if she fell like you said. Her body might be outside the dome if they were actually on top of it. I'll meet you back at... where are you staying?"
Adm H Sopko: "The Church of Gabriel. I don't recommend splitting up, though. Remember what happened last time?"
Adm H Sopko: "Besides, the area outside the dome is HUGE. We need him to help us."
SirAlexTheFirst: ".... all right, then. What do you want do with him?"
Adm H Sopko: "He should know where she fell... he'll lead us right to her."
SirAlexTheFirst: Will gasps out, "From the top. She could be anywhere. I'm so sorry..." and keeps crying.
Adm H Sopko: ::He glares at his father:: "Honestly... I'm smack in the middle of a moral dilemma... I want to turn your ass in for murder... but I have come to fucking hate this country so much."
Adm H Sopko: "So here is what I'm going to do. First, we find Aria. We see if we can get her brought back to life. THEN, we find a way to free Verity. After that, I'll decide what to do with you. If you're a good little boy, I won't turn
Adm H Sopko: you over to the Yarovan OR the police"
SirAlexTheFirst: He looks dully ahead, not at you. "You won't get anywhere. There are already people working to free Verity, and if you try, she'll have you killed. But, hell. Go ahead and try. Maybe they won't get you."
Adm H Sopko: "She'll? Who?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Between tears, he chokes out, "Mab..."
Adm H Sopko: "Mab? I know her... she's the one who questioned me after they made me watch Verity's capture"
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea's come up with a piece of rope, or something thereof, and starts tying Will up securely while the cats hold him down.

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter looks back at the gun on the bed, wondering about it::
Adm H Sopko: ::He turns his attention back:: "Whats so dangerous about her?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Will justs laughs through his tears. "She's one of them, too."
Adm H Sopko: "One of what? Your ten pillars, or my five? Are you sure you aren't just mixing the metaphors?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "The ten. The true pillars. Nellix is feeding you bullshit, son. You know better."
Adm H Sopko: "And just what are your ten pillars?"
SirAlexTheFirst: He won't answer that one.
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea finishes tying, and looks at you. "Where now?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter walks to the bed and takes the gun once again, holding it like he saw his father hold it, but holding it pointing to the ground and away:: "Now we go find her body."
SirAlexTheFirst: Hokay.
SirAlexTheFirst: And ~~~~~~END~~~~~
Adm H Sopko: Hunter has a gun. FEAR
AndrewRogue: Raaaah, I'm confused now -_-
Adm H Sopko: Now I'm even more confused...
AndrewRogue: As they say, the plot thickens.
Adm H Sopko: It'll be explained I bet... but damn<G>
SirAlexTheFirst: Welcome at last to the wide world of the metaplot being unraveled.'
AndrewRogue: Yay!
Adm H Sopko: Thankfully we got out of there without Hunter or Lea dying
Adm H Sopko: Yay!
Adm H Sopko: You promised me we wouldn't have to fight Nellix
AndrewRogue: The attempts to make Hunter think Aria was having sex with his father made me sad ;_;
Adm H Sopko: That was just Lea's wild imagination<G>
AndrewRogue: Alex wasn't exactly helping things out with Will there ^_~
SirAlexTheFirst: Well, if you were him, and you had to cook up some excuse for dead Aria, what would you do?
Adm H Sopko: Hunter was so very close to admitting his feelings to Lea<G> I think it's best he waited<G>
AndrewRogue: I probably would have had an excuse ready. And a better one at that <_<
AndrewRogue: :p
AndrewRogue: I kid though.
Adm H Sopko: Yeah... was he gonna shoot Hunter in the back of the head when he walked past
Adm H Sopko: ?
SirAlexTheFirst: No. He was going to shove you in, jump in behind you, lock the door, THEN shoot you.
Adm H Sopko: aha
Adm H Sopko: But honestly, Alex
Adm H Sopko: You have no idea how much you captured the true essence of Lea at that moment
SirAlexTheFirst: And yes, I rolled inits for Lea and Will, and Lea's disarm attempt, in another chat.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: Go Alex! You outwitted us!
AndrewRogue: ^_^
SirAlexTheFirst: I hope you don't mind too much that the NPC did the cool shot.
Adm H Sopko: ::Points up::
Adm H Sopko: I've VERY glad
Adm H Sopko: That is a true Lea move
Adm H Sopko: And now Hunter has a gun! Tee hee
AndrewRogue: Death comes for thee!
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea's gonna let him get about two feet with that gun.
Adm H Sopko: Aww
AndrewRogue: ;_;
SirAlexTheFirst: Or she might just let you shoot yourself in the foot.
Adm H Sopko: She'd let him shoot himself in the foot, actually...
AndrewRogue: I can figure it out! *BLAM*
Adm H Sopko: Not like Hunter would use it without asking
Adm H Sopko: how it worked
Adm H Sopko: Whats the damage roll on that thing anyway?
Adm H Sopko: 1dDead?
SirAlexTheFirst: Depends.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
SirAlexTheFirst: The first gun got thrown away.
AndrewRogue: Your command fails Soppy :p
SirAlexTheFirst: Second gun, I didn't bother making stats for.
AndrewRogue: What could the first gun do?
SirAlexTheFirst: 1d8+7.
AndrewRogue: Ow.
SirAlexTheFirst: Not extremely threatening to Aria.... generally.
Adm H Sopko: Scary you could theoretically survive a whole clip of bullets at high levels
Adm H Sopko: In Shadowrun, bullets and grenades splatter you no matter what level
SirAlexTheFirst: It's actually 1d8+7+dex mod.
Adm H Sopko: Keith wants that badly
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm considering making guns have that last part be "times dex mod" but we all know how that turns out.
AndrewRogue: PAIN
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: Or Aria giving HP to enemies <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: Actually you know what, I should have that be what happens on a crit with a gun. Yeah.
Adm H Sopko: 1d8+7x4 biatch!
AndrewRogue: That would be reliably painful.
Adm H Sopko: Keith would have a max critical of 60 damage.
SirAlexTheFirst: With that gun.
Adm H Sopko: And his 10th level Dragoon skill lets him unload a whole clip as a full round action
Adm H Sopko: ::Drools::
AndrewRogue: Heh.
SirAlexTheFirst: SO
SirAlexTheFirst: Questions and comments?
Adm H Sopko: Hmm
AndrewRogue: Grah. 5 Pillars. 10 Pillars. Nellix good and bad. Mab doing something. So confusing O_o
Adm H Sopko: What are the ten pillars, and why has Nellix been janking us?
SirAlexTheFirst: The Ten Sounding Pillars.
SirAlexTheFirst: You should remember that.
Adm H Sopko: Are there 5 of evil and 5 of good?
Adm H Sopko: I don't remember 10 Sounding Pillars...
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix has been janking you because that's how Nellix is. I never claimed he was without flaws.
SirAlexTheFirst: On a side note, how's my RP?
AndrewRogue: 'twas good ^_^
Adm H Sopko: Yep. Improving steadily. It would suck to be Hunter right now though
SirAlexTheFirst: I always worry about it
AndrewRogue: Bah. You do well reliably.
Adm H Sopko: I'm so very afraid Lea will be all "What? It's her or me! You have to choose now or I'm leaving!"
AndrewRogue: Ah! I have a question... Why is Will apparently so opposed to Hunter x Aria? <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: It is somewhat taxing to, as the DM, have to create on the spot personalities for NPCs, and detailed personalities with backgrounds for important NPCs, and RP them all in a manner that displays this, all at the same time.
SirAlexTheFirst: While ensuring world continuity, logic, keeping track of all the events everywhere, and such forth.
Adm H Sopko: He's not opposed... it seems that he didn't want to kill her because she loved him
SirAlexTheFirst: Fun! But taxing. And I worry that my RP is bad and/or I'm repeating personalities and such.
AndrewRogue: Oh yeah. That burns the brain. I have enough problems with one character.
SirAlexTheFirst: Will, opposed?
Adm H Sopko: The guilt was what almost drove him to suicide
AndrewRogue: I know. It just dawned on me. *smacks self*
SirAlexTheFirst: I would say you have no idea how close you came to dying, except you did eventually die.
Adm H Sopko: And Lea... isn't happy
SirAlexTheFirst: If Aria hadn't said she loved Hunter, he was about to just shoot her in the back there.
SirAlexTheFirst: Nice opportune moment.
AndrewRogue: Go go Aria timing!
SirAlexTheFirst: For a moment I thought you might pull it out.
SirAlexTheFirst: But... he wouldn't give up.
Adm H Sopko: I will tell Lea eventually! When she's not thinking I'm drunk or such
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh no. She believes you now.
SirAlexTheFirst: And feels guilty for doubting you.
Adm H Sopko: I know. But thats why I decided not to tell her then
SirAlexTheFirst: Mixed with a tinge of anxiety over all the stuff Will said about you working for evil, which you did not actually deny.
Adm H Sopko: I did a bit...
AndrewRogue: Hunter deserves cool points for getting control of himself and using his brain with his dad ^_^
Adm H Sopko: The whole "Nellix is a pissant" line should say a bit
Adm H Sopko: Eh. I still wanted to break his arm
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes, you did say that.
SirAlexTheFirst: Which confuses her more.
SirAlexTheFirst: Because she thinks that Nellix is good.
Adm H Sopko: Hunter thinks Nellix is good to. He just annoys him
SirAlexTheFirst: So now you've called him a pissant, and implicitly denied that you were working for him.
Adm H Sopko: We are, sort of.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, yeah.
SirAlexTheFirst: Hunter gains a level.
Adm H Sopko: I never said we weren't working for him. I said we're not evil.
Adm H Sopko: I... huh?
Adm H Sopko: What kinda level?
SirAlexTheFirst: An experience level.
Adm H Sopko: In... fighter?
SirAlexTheFirst: In... whatever.
Adm H Sopko: Okay then
Adm H Sopko: Cool
Adm H Sopko: Thanks
SirAlexTheFirst: However much XP it takes for you to level, you get that much.
AndrewRogue: He's awarding you 10,000+ Exp or whatever you need :p
Adm H Sopko: 8000
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1 10-sided die: 10
Adm H Sopko: Umm...
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1 10-sided die: 9
Adm H Sopko: HEH
Adm H Sopko: I'll take the 10
AndrewRogue: I'd like to state for the record: Fuck you AIM
AndrewRogue: <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: Are you going Fighter, or starting up Moan?
Adm H Sopko: Fighter still
SirAlexTheFirst: And are you using any skill points on lores?
Adm H Sopko: I will go Timon, but I need a bit more prereqs... like a third class
Adm H Sopko: No. I only get 6
Adm H Sopko: Do I have any lores in Law or N&R?
Adm H Sopko: I'll be taking Weapon Specilization: Longsword as my feat
SirAlexTheFirst: 1 in each.
Adm H Sopko: Ok
SirAlexTheFirst: I'll get a detailed description of all the lores up on the website.... sometime. Relatively soon.
AndrewRogue: Heh
SirAlexTheFirst: I'd also like to post NPCs up there. For some odd reason.
AndrewRogue: Just give me what you want me to put up and I'll do it ^_^
Adm H Sopko: Okay... so 1 each in Law, N&R, Religion. That was it?
SirAlexTheFirst: Aria will also gain a level..... if she survives and comes back to life....
SirAlexTheFirst: 2 in Geography
AndrewRogue: Yay! ^_^
Adm H Sopko: Cool
AndrewRogue: However, she seems to have failed in the first of those requirements Al :p
SirAlexTheFirst: I meant survives in the afterlife.
AndrewRogue: I know. Its just irnoic-ish
Adm H Sopko: Hunter is about to go dual longswords
AndrewRogue: And finally the secret will be revaled! I hope <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: Sure he doesn't want a saberstaff?
AndrewRogue: And Hunter will kick ass!'
Adm H Sopko: I either need a feat that reduces the penalty for large weapons, or some cool magical longswords
Adm H Sopko: All my feats are in Longsword
Adm H Sopko: Weapon Focus, Improved Crit, Weapon Spec
SirAlexTheFirst: Heh.
Adm H Sopko: Hunter's main hand longsword is 1d8+5 17-20x2 right now
Adm H Sopko: 1d8+9 if against a human, +7 if a Hummer
AndrewRogue: Grah I'm sleepy now though. It was worth it to kill my sleep though.
Adm H Sopko: He needs a +3 Longswords of Dualwielding
Adm H Sopko: That are x3 crit
AndrewRogue: Heh!
AndrewRogue: Anyway Alex, thanks a million for running ^_^
Adm H Sopko: I need one more class to go into Timon
Adm H Sopko: Probably Marshal
SirAlexTheFirst: MARSHAL MARSHAL MARSHAL!
Adm H Sopko: Enough Brady Bunch
AndrewRogue: -_-
SirAlexTheFirst: ...wha?
Adm H Sopko: Marsha Marsha Marsha!
SirAlexTheFirst: No.
SirAlexTheFirst: Marshal Marshal Marshal.
SirAlexTheFirst: It's an old in-joke from Austin.
AndrewRogue: Curse you in-jokes!
SirAlexTheFirst: Anything else?
AndrewRogue: Not really. Fun next session! Bandon! Aurelia! Corpse Hunting! Afterlife! Can't wait!
Adm H Sopko: Ahh... nope
AndrewRogue: Hopefully less 1's!
SirAlexTheFirst: AIM dice make things fun.
AndrewRogue: Indeed. Except for those double 1's. That sucked.
SirAlexTheFirst: To be fair....
AndrewRogue: <_< I was pretty dead anyway.
SirAlexTheFirst: You... really stood very little chance of getting back up from that.
Adm H Sopko: Well... Bandon was right
Adm H Sopko: Fuck
AndrewRogue: ?
Adm H Sopko: Aria did end up dying
AndrewRogue: Aria... has problems with parents it seems.
AndrewRogue: Her dad crits her... Hunter's kills her...
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm out. Keep on talkin if you want.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh...
AndrewRogue: Naw/ I need sleep ^_^
Adm H Sopko: Oh?
SirAlexTheFirst: While that gun lock was going on
SirAlexTheFirst: A song came up on my playlist
AndrewRogue: And of course, I need to eagerly await next session. Oh? Which one?
Adm H Sopko: The theme from Trigun?
SirAlexTheFirst: Called "Love Tropicana". Supposed to be the theme to Jungle something something something really long Guu.
Adm H Sopko: ahhh
SirAlexTheFirst: I thought that was funny.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: *chuckles*
Adm H Sopko: when Aria died, I put on Pain from Xenosaga
SirAlexTheFirst: Must.... find... Xenosaga.... soundtrack....
Adm H Sopko: I have Pain and Spirit
Adm H Sopko: MP3
SirAlexTheFirst: Must sleep though.
SirAlexTheFirst: *logs
AndrewRogue: Eh... I just used Aria de Mezzo Carte for the end of that scene. Her theme seemed fitting.
