You have just entered room "AND."

coughingpuppy has entered the room.

coughingpuppy: Yaaaaaaay!

AndrewRogue: Its just talking :p

Adm H Sopko has entered the room.

AndrewRogue: *continues watching Bandon own Aria in a fight*

coughingpuppy: *does a game dance anyway*

Adm H Sopko: Hunter owned Aria

coughingpuppy: Bandon owned Aurelia, too.

Adm H Sopko: ::Huggles Favored Enemy: Human::

SirAlexTheFirst: Teamwork, people.

Sarcazmo47: How about a Hunter v. Bandon fight?

coughingpuppy: After he cast Death Ward.

AndrewRogue: I know. I've just been itching for a fight Alex :p

AndrewRogue: Plus, the pacifistic schooling is hilarious.

Adm H Sopko: Maybe later

Sarcazmo47: Aww.

Sarcazmo47: So Alex, how much secret DM stuff have you done during the hiatus?

Adm H Sopko: 50 pages! 50 pages!

SirAlexTheFirst: Much.

Adm H Sopko: Heyo!

Sarcazmo47: I'll guess fifteen pages.

SirAlexTheFirst: It's not so much pages as it is stuff in my head.

AndrewRogue: Secret DM stuff rocks.

Adm H Sopko: That works

Shadowvalor013 has entered the room.

Sarcazmo47: Have we all marveled at the twinkosity that is Bandon's character sheet?

Adm H Sopko: Not yet

AndrewRogue: Its on the site.

AndrewRogue: Look.

AndrewRogue: Cry

Adm H Sopko: Have we all laughed at the utter mess Hunter's is?

AndrewRogue: Have we laughed at how sucky mine is?

coughingpuppy: Aurelia is probably the highest statwise and the worst combatant. Proving again that stats really mean very little.

SirAlexTheFirst: I've been trying to slowly nudge people towards teamwork, so PC vs PC isn't really a good test of abilities

AndrewRogue: Oh, we know.

coughingpuppy: We just thought it would be fun.

Adm H Sopko: That wasn't the point. We do it when we're bored

AndrewRogue: We just haven't had the chance to work together lately.

Shadowvalor013: Wow. That was exceedingly horror movie.

SirAlexTheFirst: What was

SirAlexTheFirst: ?

AndrewRogue: Plus its a good way to test individual abilities for both characters. Team'd... we'd do damn well I think.

Shadowvalor013: The dark shadow moves over the light in my room. I spin to see a blue move out of my door.

Shadowvalor013: Blur, at that. Not really blue. More of a blur, definitely.

Shadowvalor013: I definitely have a bat flying around my apartment.

Sarcazmo47: Wheeeee!

coughingpuppy: I'm not sure how Aurelia'd be in a team with these characters. We'll see. The alignment shift hit her kind of hard.

SirAlexTheFirst: Interesting.

Sarcazmo47: It's her hormones, methinks.

Adm H Sopko: You ruined her character concept!

AndrewRogue: XD

coughingpuppy: Well, I meant in terms of abilities. I'm having fun with the RP aspect.

Shadowvalor013: Wait. Let me get this right. You're talking about how you, the PCs, shouldn't work together?

AndrewRogue: Er... no.

SirAlexTheFirst: Sopko's comment was a joke, from the Gil ages.

coughingpuppy: Mrrrr? No. We ran a few duels in another chat for fun, and Alex is saying that it isn't really a good test of their capabilities because he's stressing teamwork.

Shadowvalor013: I see. Just wanted a clarification.

Adm H Sopko: Let's goooooo Gekigengar!

AndrewRogue: On that note, who votes we NEVER split the party again?

AndrewRogue: Gekigengar KICK!

coughingpuppy: *waves hand wildly*

Adm H Sopko: GEKIGAN BEAM!

Sarcazmo47: PANTY THIEF

Adm H Sopko: GEKIGAN CUTAAAAAA

SirAlexTheFirst: You people scare me.

Sarcazmo47: Alex, in Amaryllis, what does having 1 more subdual damage than your total HP mean?

Adm H Sopko: Anyway... game?

SirAlexTheFirst: If you have 100 HP and 101 subdual?

Sarcazmo47: Yah.

AndrewRogue: Exactly ^_^

SirAlexTheFirst: You're unconscious, of course.

SirAlexTheFirst: That's what subdual does.

Sarcazmo47: No save to stay awake a la death HP and such?

Adm H Sopko: Hooray for Diehard1

SirAlexTheFirst: No, not unless you have some ability allowing you to do so.

Sarcazmo47: Kewl.

AndrewRogue: All right. I'm sad now. I have lost every duel I've been in :p

SirAlexTheFirst: Subdual damage and real damage are not the same thing at all.

AndrewRogue: Aria is so a support Tank ^_~

Adm H Sopko: Are we here for our health?

AndrewRogue: I am.

SirAlexTheFirst: Real damage is how much you can take before you die; staying conscious or not is variable.

Adm H Sopko: Cause if we are... this is a biiiiiig tease

SirAlexTheFirst: Subdual damage is a direct measurement of how much it takes to knock you out.

AndrewRogue: A'ight

AndrewRogue: Thank you for the clarification.

SirAlexTheFirst: It's not like "If you take this much damage, you make a save to remain awake", as there are things that can force an instant save or be KO'd. It's "If you have taken this much subdual, you drop 100%"

Sarcazmo47: Okay.

Sarcazmo47: So.

Sarcazmo47: Then...

Sarcazmo47: If you're at negative HP.

Sarcazmo47: And have no subdual.

Sarcazmo47: And are delt 1 point of subdual damage.

Sarcazmo47: And you made your saves to keep standing and such.

Sarcazmo47: You instantly pass out?

SirAlexTheFirst: Not if you've been reduced to negatives by normal damage.

Sarcazmo47: Right.

SirAlexTheFirst: In the negatives, subdual damage IS normal damage.

Sarcazmo47: Ahhhh.

AndrewRogue: Ah-kay.

Sarcazmo47: Now, if you have 100 HP.

Sarcazmo47: And you take 20 points of subdual damage.

AndrewRogue: BRB. Bathroom.

Sarcazmo47: And then, later, you take 105 points of real damage.

SirAlexTheFirst: Since by that point you're beat up to where you're dying, and any more harm of any sort will exacerbate that. But you still get your desperation saves to keep up.

SirAlexTheFirst: In what way?

Sarcazmo47: In the stabbing way, I presume.

SirAlexTheFirst: No, I mean all at once or what.

Sarcazmo47: Oh.

Sarcazmo47: Sure. At once.

Sarcazmo47: Would their Subdual suddenly become real damage?

Sarcazmo47: Or would they pass out because their subdual damage was higher than their current HP?

AndrewRogue: I'll be back in a few minutes. I want in on a round of Halo.

Sarcazmo47: Goood.

SirAlexTheFirst: If you take 80 real damage after the 20 subdual, you're knocked out. If you take the 105 all in one shot, you instantly drop to dying, and get your save to remain up.

Sarcazmo47: And if you make the save?

SirAlexTheFirst: The 20 subdual inflicted before you got knocked down that far is still there but has no effect as long as you remain in the negatives.

Sarcazmo47: Does the subdual damage become real damage?

Sarcazmo47: AH.

Sarcazmo47: Okie dokie.

Sarcazmo47: So, if you get healed to 0, you then pass out?

SirAlexTheFirst: Pretty much any sort of healing will remove the subdual damage either first or at the same time as it removes lethal damage.

Sarcazmo47: Okay.

Sarcazmo47: If they're at -5.

SirAlexTheFirst: If you somehow got back up to above 0, but still had enough subdual on to drop....

Shadowvalor013: If you get healed magically it heals all subdual damage, I beleive.

Sarcazmo47: Yah.

Sarcazmo47: Ah, I looked that up.

Sarcazmo47: No such luck.

Shadowvalor013: Really? Huh.

SirAlexTheFirst: You would drop when the time of your "Stay awake" save was up, typically at the end of the round.

Sarcazmo47: There is a specific spell that heals all subdual damage.

Sarcazmo47: It's 4th level, I believe.

Sarcazmo47: Refreshment or something like that.

SirAlexTheFirst: Most magical healing heals 1 point of subdual damage along with each point of normal damage it cures.

Shadowvalor013: 4th level? Son of a bitch.

Adm H Sopko: Blah blee bloo blow

SirAlexTheFirst: Guh?

Sarcazmo47: So....game, Alex? :-*

Adm H Sopko: Aptitude throws gyroscopic mice through hyper bedside monkey

SirAlexTheFirst: You see? They make kissy faces at me for game.

SirAlexTheFirst: You should save that for Brent, though.

Sarcazmo47: I just can't help myself.

Adm H Sopko: Gerund verbal! Gerund verbal!

SirAlexTheFirst: Companion Ship Gerund?

Sarcazmo47: Manus Celer Dei?

Adm H Sopko: In bone bible mountain timepants in the sea of nice silly

SirAlexTheFirst: Soppy, What The Hell?™

Adm H Sopko: Till the cows come home!

Sarcazmo47: C'mon Alex. Just a taste. You know I'm good for it.

Sarcazmo47: Who's my Texas Ranger? You are.

Adm H Sopko: I'm speaking in nonsense

coughingpuppy: ...

SirAlexTheFirst: My thoughts exactly, Stacmistress. My thoughts exactly.

Sarcazmo47: HAHA, I win.

Sarcazmo47: Bandon should stop being a pacifist.

Sarcazmo47: Bandon should use Flamestrike. A LOT.

SirAlexTheFirst: But then he'd lose his Vow of Peace, and all its twinky benefits.

Sarcazmo47: But he'd still have the poverty.

SirAlexTheFirst: But he'd be radioactive.

SirAlexTheFirst: That couldn't be good.

Sarcazmo47: But he'd be big.

coughingpuppy: Hey, Alex. If Aurelia eventually shifts to good alignment, can she convert the Dark Speech into Words of Creation?

Shadowvalor013: Rip and Tear!

coughingpuppy: Dark Speech was a very helpful feat. Unfortunately, if she used it now she'd kind of die instantly.

SirAlexTheFirst: Sadly, no, you can't just switch from knowing the Dark Speech to knowing the WoC.

SirAlexTheFirst: You still know Dark Speech. Which may or may not kill you if you attempt to speak it.

Sarcazmo47: *snort*

SirAlexTheFirst: If she wanted to learn WoC she'd have to spend a feat for it.

coughingpuppy: Aww. Well, it was worth a shot.

SirAlexTheFirst: Snort?

Adm H Sopko: Dooby dooby doo

Sarcazmo47: C'mon Alex. You wanna run game. Everyone is here. Even the audience is here!

coughingpuppy: Maybe I'll find a use for the Dark Speech down the road that doesn't involve repulsing nonevil characters.

Sarcazmo47: THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING

AndrewRogue: Back

coughingpuppy: Please run? :-D

Shadowvalor013: I'm listening! W00t.

SirAlexTheFirst: The use of Dark Speech, when nonevil, is understanding what is being said when other evil people use it.

Sarcazmo47: She could always use it to improve her diplomacy score with Evil People, too.

SirAlexTheFirst: Oy.

coughingpuppy: Well, you don't really use the Dark Speech in conversation, really. And you aren't fluent in it when you take the feat, since it's the language of evil gods.

Sarcazmo47: Oh, I forgot.

Sarcazmo47: There are no evil people.

SirAlexTheFirst: Vile lies spread by a relativistic worldview which accepts no truth and no absolutes.

Adm H Sopko: I'll start speaking in Nonsense again if we don't start soon

Adm H Sopko: And you don't want hybrid ponies over jump nipping shaky Knicks

AndrewRogue: Knicks suck.

Sarcazmo47: Agreed.

Sarcazmo47: To both.

Adm H Sopko: CAR! Hide the for new dog inspire my xylophone

Sarcazmo47: How about 2v2 teams?

AndrewRogue: If we aren't gonna play, let's set up a scenario and test our teamwork capabilities. <_<

Sarcazmo47: AYe.

SirAlexTheFirst: Arrr.

SirAlexTheFirst: Okay, okay.

Sarcazmo47: Okay okay what?

Sarcazmo47: Okay okay you'll run a scene?

SirAlexTheFirst: So, people are exploiting the chat Kirk made to talk and stuff, after I said no game, and wanting game. Heh. All right then.

SirAlexTheFirst: What scene?

AndrewRogue: I am not exploiting!

Sarcazmo47: Aurelia and Hunter!

AndrewRogue: Them or Bandon.

AndrewRogue: Those are the two remaining groups :p

coughingpuppy: I'm more than happy to play if Kirk doesn't want Bandon to go.

Sarcazmo47: Bandon can be done as an individual sometime.

Sarcazmo47: No need to eat up a session.

SirAlexTheFirst: That's not strictly true. But anyways. Decision? Votes?

Adm H Sopko: Aurelia and Hunter sounds fine

Sarcazmo47: Yep.

SirAlexTheFirst: Oookay then. ~~~START~~~~

coughingpuppy: Aurelia, Hunter, and Lea are searching the base of the tower?

Adm H Sopko: The edge of the city

coughingpuppy: How big is the circumference?

SirAlexTheFirst: Egads.

SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, say....

Adm H Sopko: It's a mile high...

SirAlexTheFirst: 31 miles, give or take.

AndrewRogue: OW.

coughingpuppy: Whoa. Okay.

coughingpuppy: Aurelia turns to Hunter on their way out of the city. "Do you have any idea where she fell from? I doubt we want to walk around the entire city to find her."

Adm H Sopko: ::He turns to his father:: "Do you at least remember what direction you pushed her off in? Or if not that, what position the moon or stars were in so we can determine it from that?"

SirAlexTheFirst: Will responds with only a slight head-shake.

SirAlexTheFirst: He's gone completely docile now, not making any noise and not moving unless prodded.

Adm H Sopko: "Not even what direction your damn light source was coming from?"

coughingpuppy: Aurelia sighs and looks off to the right to see if there's anything visible down that way. "You aren't going to get anything out of him, Hunter. And there's no way we would find her within a few days."

SirAlexTheFirst: He doesn't answer you, just keeps staring at the ground.

Adm H Sopko: "Unless we get lucky, of course." ::Lea rolls her eyes:: <L>"After everything that has happened tonight, you expect to get lucky? Some things never change..."

coughingpuppy: "This is, of course, assuming she could even be revived. Sometimes the damage to a body is too great for that."

Sarcazmo47: Bandon could get something out of him....

Sarcazmo47: INQUISITION'D

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter shrugs off Lea's barb:: <H>"Yeah, I know. But we owe it to her to at least find her."

coughingpuppy: "And waste time that we could be using to get Verity out."

Adm H Sopko: "Waste time? Honestly, there is no plan we could come up with now with just the three of us that would result in Verity's release. We have to do what we have to do in the meantime."

SirAlexTheFirst: Listen checks.

coughingpuppy: "It could take us days to find her. By that time she would be beyond my help. And for all we know...for all YOU know, since you didn't bother to find anything out...Verity might be dead by then too."

*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 13

*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 5

coughingpuppy: 26.

Adm H Sopko: 14

SirAlexTheFirst: You both hear Will chuckle slightly at Hunter's last comment,

SirAlexTheFirst: .

SirAlexTheFirst: That's all he does, though.

Adm H Sopko: ::He smirks at his father, but keeps walking::

coughingpuppy: Aurelia looks at him. "Is something funny?"

SirAlexTheFirst: Walking whereA?

Adm H Sopko: The edge of the city... perhaps in the northwesternly direction?

SirAlexTheFirst: Hokay. That takes you back towards the church of Gabriel you've been staying at, just so you know.

coughingpuppy: Aurelia frowns at Hunter's back as he starts to walk away without a reply. "Your incompetence has caused one death already. I'm not letting it cause two."

Adm H Sopko: ::He stops and turns:: "And yours has also resulted in the capture of not just one, but TWO of our friends."

Adm H Sopko: "Let's be friends, here; okay?"

Adm H Sopko: ::Lea looks to Will and shakes her head in an annoyed fashion::

Adm H Sopko: (Both lines were from Hunter)

Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.

coughingpuppy: "I didn't ask for your friendship, I asked for your help. If there weren't someone else's safety at stake I would very gladly help you find her. But that isn't the case,

coughingpuppy: and we have Karn and Jerriford to worry about as well."

Adm H Sopko: "Yes. I am just asked that out of the idea that it'd be easier for me to help you if we weren't at each other's backs all the time." ::He returns to walking::

Adm H Sopko: (I just asked even)

coughingpuppy: Aurelia makes a disgusted noise, turns around, and goes back into the city.

AndrewRogue: (I die a little more inside.)

coughingpuppy: ((*face in hands* I'm sorry.))

AndrewRogue: (Its not your fault as a player.)

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter sighs and mumbles:: "I thought she was supposed to be the mature one?"

Shadowvalor013 has left the room.

coughingpuppy: She's hardly gone a few steps, though, before she seems to think better of it, turns around, and casts a spell.

coughingpuppy: Will save, Hunter.

Adm H Sopko: Oh boy! My favorite!

*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 9

Adm H Sopko: 13

coughingpuppy: You lose. You're Dominated.

Adm H Sopko: No shit?

AndrewRogue: (Well... that solves one problem.)

Sarcazmo47: Aurelia sez - this party will work together because I say so!

coughingpuppy: "Come with me." And she walks back into the city.

Adm H Sopko: ::Lea watches in shock as Hunter turns around, albiet still with the pissed look on face, and follows Aurelia. She looks to Will in confusion::

SirAlexTheFirst: Will follows Aurelia and Hunter.

Adm H Sopko: ::Lea looks down at her kitties and pets them on the head:: "I'm sorry, I just don't know what else to do at the moment..." ::She follows::

coughingpuppy: She looks at Will. "Where did you say we needed to go to speak with your superiors?"

SirAlexTheFirst: "The main offices, in Perenolde."

coughingpuppy: "What's the fastest route there from here?"

SirAlexTheFirst: "They probably won't be around at this time of night. You should take the teleporters to Perenolde and then... I can take you there."

SirAlexTheFirst: (yeah, this isn't working. Sorry. Too much school stuff I have to be doing.)

AndrewRogue: (*cries... at many, many levels)

AndrewRogue: *

coughingpuppy: ((Mrrrrr.))

SirAlexTheFirst: (Apparently they don't want to let me register for Psych)

coughingpuppy: ((The classes might be full.))

coughingpuppy: ((Why are you registering so late?))

SirAlexTheFirst: (My alternate PIN hasn't been working)

SirAlexTheFirst: (Anyways... move along if you want, or not)

coughingpuppy: ((Okay. I wasn't sure if you wanted to not play tonight.))

SirAlexTheFirst: (I DON'T. That was the whole point.)

coughingpuppy: She nods, and heads for the teleporters. Hunter gets to follow along.

Adm H Sopko: Yep

Adm H Sopko: You're in control, you gotta lead, Ms. Leader<G>

coughingpuppy: And they teleport to Perenolde. And she'll let Will guide them on from there.

SirAlexTheFirst: "Few of the superiors will see you at this time of night," he comments. "We should sleep and try in the morning."

coughingpuppy: "Are you familiar with the area enough to know where to stay for the night?"

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter stays silent. Not even a smartass comment!::

SirAlexTheFirst: "You can use my rooms at the office apartments."

SirAlexTheFirst: Will, too, is keeping quiet. As he has been. And will be.

coughingpuppy: Sense motive.

*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 8

SirAlexTheFirst: Walsh Hall 207

*OnlineHost*: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 4

coughingpuppy: 20.

SirAlexTheFirst: Eheh.

SirAlexTheFirst: Will sounds calm and sad.

coughingpuppy: Aurelia, of course, is keeping in mind that this guy has killed a party member already. "Would there be a better place in the area? Like an inn?"

SirAlexTheFirst: "If you want to get one, do so. It doesn't matter."

Adm H Sopko: "There is our house, if you want to walk a little."

coughingpuppy: Aurelia, not trusting Will in the slightest, opts for the inn. She'll try to find a pretty inconspicuous one.

Adm H Sopko: Crafty one, ain't she?

SirAlexTheFirst: Rightyo then.

SirAlexTheFirst: Sign of the Prancing Porkster it is.

Sarcazmo47: ....

SirAlexTheFirst: What?

SirAlexTheFirst: WHAT?

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter looks around the inn for any symbols of trade companies::

coughingpuppy: Aurelia is too tired to care about the owner's choice in names. She puts them all into one room so she can keep an eye on them.

SirAlexTheFirst: There are several.

Adm H Sopko: It's one of those hotels you pay by the hour, isn't it?

Dark Japheth has entered the room.

SirAlexTheFirst: Not at all.

coughingpuppy: Aurelia has lots of money. She doesn't care.

Adm H Sopko: Bah... where's the fun in that?

SirAlexTheFirst: Just your normal slightly overpriced inn... all right.

coughingpuppy: All four people go into one room.

Adm H Sopko: ::Lea wonders why the hell Aurelia gets her own room, and moves to get her own::

Adm H Sopko: (Gets 1 room for everyone even)

SirAlexTheFirst: Catfight?

coughingpuppy: ((She didn't get her own, she put them all into one.))

Adm H Sopko: (I know, s'why I changed it. She'd rather have her own.)

coughingpuppy: Aurelia doesn't make a move to stop her, but does say, "It might be safer to remain grouped."

Adm H Sopko: "Well I'd rather get my own. Besides, I have these guys." ::She pats the kitties, who are still by her side::

coughingpuppy: She nods, and will pay for the additional rooms, in that case.

SirAlexTheFirst: Hokay. That'll run you, oh, about $150.

coughingpuppy: She'll pay for it, and then turn to Lea and Will. "You can both go up if you want to. I need a word with Hunter."

SirAlexTheFirst: Will heads up to the room without a word.

Adm H Sopko: ::Lea glares at her:: "Fine. Send him over when you're done. I need to talk to him as well." ::She shoots a glare to Hunter as well, then heads up::

coughingpuppy: Aurelia sits down at a table fairly well away from any other patrons and has Hunter sit too. Then she releases him from the Dominate.

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter remains silent, glaring at her:: "Satisfied?"

Adm H Sopko: (Silent for a while)

coughingpuppy: "No. I wanted you to understand why I did that and brought you here."

Adm H Sopko: "Well seeing as I at least get to visit home, I'll give you a listen."

coughingpuppy: "It's not that I don't understand your emotions or your desire to find someone lost to you and try to help bring them back. But sometimes emotion clouds judgement."

coughingpuppy: "Three of the members of this group are in one area, and all three could be freed by coming here. We don't know what kind of danger they're in, or their situation. One is dead."

coughingpuppy: "Now, given that, where is the most logical place to concentrate our efforts?"

Adm H Sopko: "Given that it is becoming less and less clear of who we could and could not trust, I figured keeping our known allies with us would be best. My father said it himself, the president of the Yarovan is a pillar. They

Adm H Sopko: want Verity free, but we don't know their motives either. This could all be one elaborate trap for all we know. While yes, it was logical to seek help, there are more reliable sources we could have looked."

AndrewRogue: (I like Hunter - Auerelia interactions. They're fun!)

coughingpuppy: "The pillars don't concern me. As for finding more reliable sources, you could have explained your intentions...instead of walking off into the desert to find a body."

SirAlexTheFirst: (I'm waiting for Hunter to bust out with "Peace is a lie, there is only passion")

Sarcazmo47: There is no peace, there is passion.

Sarcazmo47: My passion gives me strength.

AndrewRogue: (That sounds so familiar. What's it from?)

Sarcazmo47: My strength gives me power.

Adm H Sopko: (It's the Sith code)

Sarcazmo47: My power gives me victory.

Dark Japheth: (through power I gain victory)

Sarcazmo47: Through victory my chains are broken.

Dark Japheth: (The force shall set me free.)

Sarcazmo47: Ahem.

Sarcazmo47: Carry on.

Adm H Sopko: "I could have, if you had not been so impulsive. We've both lost someone important to us here, but we must set all that baggage aside now. By and large, the pillars have wanted to kill us. We can't exactly save Verity if we

Adm H Sopko: are dead, can we?"

coughingpuppy: "So where else do you suggest going?"

Adm H Sopko: ::He sighs, sitting back:: "I haven't gotten that far, yet. Most every party I can think of seems to be out for us. One idea I have is to contact Brother Joe, who is the head priest in the Church of Gabriel... or we can inform

Adm H Sopko: the Church of Luthien about Bandon. I'm sure the priestesses would form an army to rescue the world famous sexual healer." ::He chuckles sardonically::

coughingpuppy: "What makes you think a church would want to help free Verity?"

Adm H Sopko: ::He shrugs:: "Not saying that they'd help us. It's an idea of who to ask."

Adm H Sopko: ::In fact, Hunter does just that! Go go Bro Joe!:: ~Brother Joe?~

SirAlexTheFirst: No answer

SirAlexTheFirst: (Hint. It's like 4 AM.)

Adm H Sopko: (Ah)

coughingpuppy: "And while we wander around asking for someone to help us instead of taking the lead we know we have, we waste time. I would prefer to do something now instead of wait for a possibility that might fail us."

coughingpuppy: "You might call that impulsive...most would call it decisive."

Adm H Sopko: "And if it were me, you'd call it foolish that I was trusting someone that shouldn't be trusted. Sound familiar? Gelendar ring a bell?"

coughingpuppy: "Hunter, at the moment, I don't think there's anyone we can fully trust. From what I could tell, your father seemed honest. I don't trust him. But I doubt any option we choose is going to be clear-cut, or a safe one."

Adm H Sopko: "You're right. And I realize that. But the fastest way isn't always the best option." ::Hunter stands:: "Now... Lea said she needed to talk to me. Since you've dragged us here, we'll meet with the Yarovan in the

Adm H Sopko: morning. I'll contact Brother Joe via the circlet tomorrow as well and inform you on what he says. Goodnight." ::He walks upstairs::

coughingpuppy: "Hunter. Keep an eye on your father, too."

Adm H Sopko: (Oh boy! Do you want to suffer through what was the inevitable scene where Hunter and Lea are the only ones that talk?)

AndrewRogue: (IM yourself <_<)

Adm H Sopko: ::He chuckles, not turning back, but still replying:: "Of course. You think I'd let him off for what he did?"

coughingpuppy: "I'm more concerned that he might have means of contacting someone else, and he'll be more open to a visit from you instead of from me. If he does seem to be keeping in contact with someone else,

coughingpuppy: then you might be completely correct about the Yarovan being too dangerous to speak with."

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter replies, but he's too far up the stairs to really hear without a listen check::

*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 18

Adm H Sopko: "Right... right..."

coughingpuppy: Aurelia, despite being pretty sick of his attitude, heads upstairs without another word.

Adm H Sopko: ::And so, Hunter enters Lea's room! And I ask again, do you want to suffer through this, or move on?::

Dark Japheth: (ME no care.0

coughingpuppy: ((*shrug*))

SirAlexTheFirst: (Go for it if you want. I'm barely able to pay attention to happenings. You've been warned.)

Adm H Sopko: (Okay then...)

AndrewRogue: (Go ahead with what you want.)

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter finds Lea in there waiting for him. The kitties are laid out on the floor, dozing off and not looking up at Hunter as he arrives:: <H> "You wanted me?" ::Lea rolls her eyes:: <L> "Leave it to you

Adm H Sopko: to open like that. What the hell are we doing here? After that whole sob story about 'Oh I love her and we need to find her!' you turn around and pull this crap." ::Hunter sighs and takes a seat, obviously tired::

Adm H Sopko: "Aurelia has her little ways of being persuasive." ::Lea smirks::: <L> "Speak straight for once. I'm not in the mood for your word games." <H> "Fine. All I know is that she has some way of making

Adm H Sopko: people do what she wants. Some sort of spell or something." ::The look on Lea's face doesn't change, the anger changing in form:: <L> "Damnit... we're trained to look for that in employees. You had that pissed

Adm H Sopko: off look on your face. It was so normal that I couldn't tell what was going on. When your father didn't say anything, I just followed." ::There is a silence for a bit::

Adm H Sopko: <L> "Hunter... what the hell is happening? Everything is falling apart here. I'm used to dealing with situations like this, but usually I cause them to happen elsewhere. They don't happen to the company. Your father being

Adm H Sopko: ordered to murder Arianna, then trying to kill US, and whatever is up with the President... and my father hasn't been himself lately either. NO ONE has. And it all started happening

Adm H Sopko: after you were kicked out." ::She draws her gun and aims it at Hunter:: "So it's either your fault, or you've got a lot of explaining to do. Either way, you'd better come clean."

AndrewRogue: (OMG. That is awesome.)

Sarcazmo47: TAKE THE SHOT

AndrewRogue: TAKE THE SHOT LEA

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter just puts his head in his hands:: "Lea... put that thing down... I'm just as much been swept up by all of this as you have been... even moreso, maybe. You're the last person that I know I can trust right now

Sarcazmo47: Where's the love for Bandon? :-(

Dark Japheth has left the room.

Adm H Sopko: Lea, don't do something stupid." ::Lea fires! But she intentionally misses:: <L> "Don't spew that bullshit with me! Playing the martyr, just like always. All i know is that things are going to shit and you and your

coughingpuppy: ((She fires off a gun in an inn?))

Sarcazmo47: Terrorist!

AndrewRogue: (I hope no one was in the room next door ;_;-)

*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 11

coughingpuppy: 24. Would Aurelia hear that?

SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.

SirAlexTheFirst: So would half the inn.

coughingpuppy: She jolts awake, then. Having very little knowledge of firearms, she assumes it's a spell, and immediately heads for the room next door. Or two doors down, possibly.

coughingpuppy: Instead of running in like an idiot, she'll listen outside it.

Sarcazmo47: Flamestrike the room!

Sarcazmo47: It's the only way to be sure!

Adm H Sopko: friends just always conveniently seem to be in the middle of it! I can't trust you anymore, Hunter!" <H> "Listen, if this is about something else..." <L> "I should shoot you just for

Sarcazmo47: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.

Sarcazmo47: PLACE THAT LINE

Adm H Sopko: insinuating that, you arrogant prick." ::Hunter stands up, making Lea take a step back. The cats jump up at this point too:: <H> "What the hell do you want me to say? I'm the cause of all this

coughingpuppy: Aurelia keeps a hand on the doorknob. Part of her feels guilty for listening in, but a part of her that she considers unfortunate at the moment considers Hunter her responsibility. Her responsibilities don't get shot in the face.

Adm H Sopko: and shooting me will solve everything and life as you knew it will return? It isn't that simple, Lea. I can tell you at least trust me that much, or you really would have shot me already." ::More silence::

Adm H Sopko: ::Lea drops the gun and puts it away, sitting dramatically on the bed:: <L> "You really are a bastard, you know that?" <H> "Yeah, stop reminding me." ::He sits next to her, and the cats lay down

coughingpuppy: Hearing the weapon drop, Aurelia shakes her head and goes back to sleep.

Adm H Sopko: again:: <L> "So what now?" <H> "We talk to the company, apparantly. I'm as reluctant as you, but it seems our only option at the moment." ;;Lea sighs, leaning her forehead against

Adm H Sopko: Hunter's shoulder:: <L> "This isn't going to end soon, is it?" <H> "No... I don't think so." ::They sit there in silence for a bit, before Lea pushes Hunter off the bed:: <L> "Well, this is

Adm H Sopko: my room. YOU can go sleep with your Dad." ::Her grin is playful this time, though. Hunter jumps mumbles and gets up, smiling softly before heading out the door as they exchange goodnights::

AndrewRogue: (No Hawt Cat-Girl sex? Aww... *is shot*)

Adm H Sopko: (It wasn't plausible... at all.)

AndrewRogue: (But... but... Cat-Girl sex is always plausible ;_; )

Adm H Sopko: (::Rests:: Wow... that was a workout.)

AndrewRogue: (*coughs and shuts up* Good job Soppy)

coughingpuppy: ((I think Alex is probably all for ending now, though, instead of going to the Yarovan.))

Adm H Sopko: (Aye)

AndrewRogue: (I DEMAND he continue. Suspense burns :p)

AndrewRogue: (Kidding man. Kidding. I can live considering you didn't want to run anyway.)

SirAlexTheFirst: (You know when people infuriate you, and you can just smile, nod, and grit your teeth and say "Never do that again, or I'll rip your spleen out, thanks"?)

Sarcazmo47: (Did someone do that to you, Alex?)

AndrewRogue: (Never in those exact terms, but similar feelings. ^_^)

Adm H Sopko: (Hey, I tried to make it so you'd have to do as little work as possible...)

SirAlexTheFirst: (Okay. Never guilt me into trying to run game again.)

SirAlexTheFirst: (Yep. Thanks.)

SirAlexTheFirst: URSA is now down entirely.

SirAlexTheFirst: Figures.

SirAlexTheFirst: It's all good though.

AndrewRogue: Got things mostly sorted?

SirAlexTheFirst: Mostly.

AndrewRogue: Yay!

SirAlexTheFirst: Still running with 9 windows open and two people talking to me.

AndrewRogue: Not too shabby.

AndrewRogue: And you can always just tell me to shut up :p

AndrewRogue: Like this- "Andrew, shut up."

AndrewRogue: "But I wuv you!"

AndrewRogue: "I hope you die."

AndrewRogue: "..." *dies*

AndrewRogue: Then I revive as a Wuv Zombie and we have a kick-ass plot for a new survival horror game.

AndrewRogue: And apparently I kill chat in the process. 'tis the opening cinema.

Sarcazmo47: You could even title it that.

Sarcazmo47: CHATKILL 2000

SirAlexTheFirst: Grar.

AndrewRogue: Hell yes. You get to choose your character- Alex, Soppy, Staci or Gorth.

AndrewRogue: Each has their own unique abilities.

AndrewRogue: Also a different plot line depending on who you play.

AndrewRogue: Multible endings based on story decisions!

SirAlexTheFirst: ....

Adm H Sopko: Do go on

AndrewRogue: *shows Soppy choosing to let Kirk be eaten by zombies*

AndrewRogue: Innovative good and evil system!

AndrewRogue: Join the darkness or fight against it!

AndrewRogue: *shows Kirk summoning up unholy armies as Alex fends them off with a pump action shotgun*

SirAlexTheFirst: Pump action?

AndrewRogue: Danger lurks around every corner... solve death defying puzzles...

SirAlexTheFirst: Have you ever actually played Doom 2?

AndrewRogue: *shows Staci lining up total asinine objects to open a chain link fence*

AndrewRogue: And no <_<

SirAlexTheFirst: That's not pump action, that's split-loading.

AndrewRogue: *amends his statement

Adm H Sopko: The regular shotgun or the super-shotgun?

SirAlexTheFirst: Super, of course.

SirAlexTheFirst: That's what you use against the hordes.

Adm H Sopko: Of course

Sarcazmo47: Of course.

AndrewRogue: Revel in adult situations and violence!

AndrewRogue: And avoid the power of... Wuv.

AndrewRogue: *various clips of Wuv Zombie Andrew glomping*

Sarcazmo47: What is this Wuv?

AndrewRogue: Do you have what it takes to survive?

Sarcazmo47: This concept of Wuv confuses and angers us!

AndrewRogue: Chatkill 2004

AndrewRogue: Coming Winter of 2004

AndrewRogue: Rated AO

AndrewRogue: ...and that confirms what a loser I am.

Sarcazmo47: No.

Sarcazmo47: That confirms that you're a great marketer.

Adm H Sopko: Meh. AND Marketing beats that for sadness

AndrewRogue: I like AND marketing.

AndrewRogue: I want a freakin' syndicated cartoon.

Sarcazmo47: HAHAHAHAHA

Adm H Sopko: Oh it was good... but we were REALLY freakin bored

AndrewRogue: Amaryllis New Dawn begs for a Saturday morning cartoon.

AndrewRogue: Uncensored release on DVD.

Sarcazmo47: HAH

AndrewRogue: Includes special Behind the Scenes features.

Sarcazmo47: We'd be well into season 3 by now, I'd think.

AndrewRogue: According to my log track, we're middle of season 4.

Sarcazmo47: Ah.

Sarcazmo47: True.

AndrewRogue: But that's my take of the story dividers.

Sarcazmo47: Although Season 1 is something of a mishmash.

Sarcazmo47: Lots of people coming and going.

AndrewRogue: It would... work oddly if we smoothed out the comings and goings.

AndrewRogue: *work, oddly,

AndrewRogue: VAs!

Adm H Sopko: I call Crispin Freeman!

AndrewRogue: Bastard.

Sarcazmo47: VA's?

AndrewRogue: Voice Actors.

Sarcazmo47: Oooo.

Sarcazmo47: That's a touch one.

AndrewRogue: So so far we have Hunter- Crispin Freeman?

AndrewRogue: I... can see it.

Sarcazmo47: Verity.....Verity.....

Adm H Sopko: I see Verity as the same one who did Ashram of Marmo in Lodoss

Sarcazmo47: Hmmm.

AndrewRogue: YES

AndrewRogue: That guy would be perfect.

Sarcazmo47: Hmmmm.

Sarcazmo47: You think so?

Sarcazmo47: He seemed a little too bishy to me.

AndrewRogue: Mmm... might be misremembering his voice.

AndrewRogue: Coulda sworn he had a pretty solid one.

AndrewRogue: John Knox is his name.

Sarcazmo47: Ah.

Sarcazmo47: As for Bandon....

Adm H Sopko: Doug Smith

AndrewRogue: Shows Soppy?

Sarcazmo47: Who the hell is that?

Adm H Sopko: Kintaro from Golden Boy

Sarcazmo47: *snort*

AndrewRogue: Er... anything else? I missed Golden Boy.

Adm H Sopko: Thats his best

AndrewRogue: Andrew Klimko maybe?

AndrewRogue: He's done a lot of bit work... most stand out thing he did was Nuku Nuku.

SirAlexTheFirst: Starring the work of Christopher Walken as the voice of The DM.

AndrewRogue: Yes!

AndrewRogue: YES!

coughingpuppy: Sleep. 'Night, guys.

AndrewRogue: Aww ;_;

coughingpuppy has left the room.

Adm H Sopko: Michael Lindsey as bandon, maybe

AndrewRogue: List work. I suck at recalling names.

Sarcazmo47 has left the room.

Adm H Sopko: He's new

Adm H Sopko: First starring role is George in Kaze no Yojimbo

AndrewRogue: I prolly haven't heard him then.

SirAlexTheFirst: Did he earn 1 gil?

Adm H Sopko: ?

AndrewRogue: Hunter- Crispin Freeman, Verity- John Knox, Bandon- Michael Lindsey

SirAlexTheFirst: From his work with Yojimbo?.... ah nevermind. Bad joke.

Adm H Sopko: Aria: Monica Rial

Adm H Sopko: OO!

AndrewRogue: Wooork list <_<

Adm H Sopko: Replace Michael Lindsay with Chris Patton!

AndrewRogue: For both of them. I think I've heard Patton, but Rial draws a blank.

Adm H Sopko: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo pedia/people.php?id=2074

Adm H Sopko: I met her at Metrocon. Extremely nice woman.

AndrewRogue: Hmm... I have a list that puts her in a few more roles.

SirAlexTheFirst: Hmm, I know some of those..... in Japanese. Dunno her voice then.

AndrewRogue: Mmm... I've only heard as Hyatt though.

SirAlexTheFirst: The Super Milk-chan show?

AndrewRogue: S'new

Adm H Sopko: Aurelia?

AndrewRogue: Hmm... I'll buy Ms. Rial for Aria if nothing other than the fact that Hyatt has the right tone for it.

AndrewRogue: Aurelia...

AndrewRogue: Whoever voices Sazuka in Outlaw Star?

Adm H Sopko: Wendee Lee

Adm H Sopko: She'll do

AndrewRogue: Oh wow. It was her? Normally I notice better.

Adm H Sopko: Of course.... Sean Connery for Jerri

AndrewRogue: *nods sagely*
