(11:54:13 PM) You have just entered room "AND."

(12:01:13 AM) AndrewRogue has entered the room.

AndrewRogue (12:01:23 AM): Yar, heya.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:01:34 AM): Heya

SirAlexTheFirst (12:01:43 AM): I was going to run game, but....]

SirAlexTheFirst (12:01:48 AM): Nobody showed up

SirAlexTheFirst (12:02:01 AM): Been sitting here in an empty chat for like half an hour.

AndrewRogue (12:02:21 AM): For half an hour? <_< I, like, just turned on the computer, didn't I?

AndrewRogue (12:03:05 AM): Bah, it must have been while I was moving my poor puppy around and I didn't notice. Sorry.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:03:33 AM): AndrewRogue: online time 2 hours, 10 minutes\

AndrewRogue (12:03:46 AM): O_o

SirAlexTheFirst (12:03:51 AM): Well, anyways.

AndrewRogue (12:04:33 AM): That's really weird. I wasn't even here 2 hours ago.

AndrewRogue (12:04:48 AM): Bummer though, I think I could have used game at the moment.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:05:05 AM): Well hey

SirAlexTheFirst (12:05:08 AM): We're here.

AndrewRogue (12:05:20 AM): Yay. ^_^

SirAlexTheFirst (12:05:25 AM): Even if nobody else is....

AndrewRogue (12:06:15 AM): Heh, lemme grab my steak off the stove real quick.

AndrewRogue (12:07:37 AM): Yay. So how're you today Alex?

SirAlexTheFirst (12:09:23 AM): Crazy as always.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:10:50 AM): And you?

AndrewRogue (12:11:11 AM): Meh... I'm kinda bleh right now.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:12:18 AM): Want to discuss the portrayal of AIs and androids in literature and film?

AndrewRogue (12:12:51 AM): Ohh! Sure!

AndrewRogue (12:14:33 AM): Ah, you were serious. Heh. I know nothing about AIs Androids or stuff in lit and film :p

SirAlexTheFirst (12:15:05 AM): Well, think about it.

AndrewRogue (12:15:31 AM): *brainstorms*

AndrewRogue (12:24:08 AM): Out of base curiositym and not to interrupt chat, what is the piece in question?

SirAlexTheFirst (12:25:15 AM): Maudiv Zarn (12:15:16 AM): And here they are : ) The thought- male AIs are evil, female AIs are good.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:25:18 AM): Discuss.

AndrewRogue (12:25:33 AM): Gyah, I meant the Heinlein piece.

AndrewRogue (12:25:44 AM): I'm tracking the arguement. ^_^

SirAlexTheFirst (12:26:07 AM): Maudiv Zarn (12:17:34 AM): The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. The computer in that one is male, and it helps the oppressed colonists fight Earth

AndrewRogue (12:26:35 AM): Ah. I feel stupid. Missed the title somehow. Thanks.

(12:45:31 AM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.

AndrewRogue (12:48:05 AM): There's a pie joke?

Sarcazmo47 (12:48:10 AM): I was just announcing that I like pumpkin pie.

coughingpuppy (12:48:11 AM): I want in on the pie joke!

Sarcazmo47 (12:48:24 AM): If you bounce enough, maybe we'll let you in.

Sarcazmo47 (12:48:51 AM): *puts a Chat token on his kill counter*

AndrewRogue (12:58:09 AM): Anyway?

(12:58:13 AM) Sarcazmo47 has left the room.

AndrewRogue (12:59:07 AM): *buries Kirk*

coughingpuppy (12:59:18 AM): Hm. Not sure why he left.

AndrewRogue (1:01:17 AM): ...wow, my Buddy List just exploded. Random-ness!

SirAlexTheFirst (1:02:36 AM): So....

SirAlexTheFirst (1:02:49 AM): Soppy hasn't been around much lately.

coughingpuppy (1:02:58 AM): Yeah, it seems like he's sleeping.

AndrewRogue (1:03:13 AM): Indeed.

AndrewRogue (1:05:07 AM): Yar...

SirAlexTheFirst (1:05:53 AM): Sleeping?

coughingpuppy (1:06:02 AM): Yeah, that's what his away message says.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:06:06 AM): o....kay.....

AndrewRogue (1:06:16 AM): He's back, jump him!

coughingpuppy (1:06:19 AM): No, wait, he's back.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:06:23 AM): I don't see him on at all

coughingpuppy (1:06:27 AM): I'm not sure what happened to Kirk, though...my guess is he was booted.

(1:06:38 AM) Adm H Sopko has entered the room.

AndrewRogue (1:06:51 AM): *shrugs* Dunno if it matters, but retriev'd!

Adm H Sopko (1:07:20 AM): ((::Dumbly stumbles in, fresh from his nap after an 8 hour fishing tournament today:: ))

SirAlexTheFirst (1:07:26 AM): Oh, SOPPY!

SirAlexTheFirst (1:07:35 AM): I thought you all were talking about Kirk

AndrewRogue (1:07:44 AM): 8 hour fishing tourney O_o?

SirAlexTheFirst (1:07:45 AM): My brain is dead today

SirAlexTheFirst (1:07:50 AM): Hello, Soppy. How'd it go?

Adm H Sopko (1:08:54 AM): Not very well. A cold front moved in and shut the fish down the night before.(Barometric pressure is key). I caught a few fish, but only one keeper. Just a dinky 1 pounder

Adm H Sopko (1:09:09 AM): And now the backs of my hands have windburn

(1:09:31 AM) AndrewRogue has left the room.

(1:10:06 AM) AndrewRogue has entered the room.

AndrewRogue (1:10:17 AM): Ahem.

Adm H Sopko (1:10:57 AM): Oh... We fish for bass, both largemouth and smallmouth. Only a bass that measures over a foot (A "Keeper") counts in the tournament

Adm H Sopko (1:13:37 AM): So... whats going on?

AndrewRogue (1:13:48 AM): *shrugs* I dunno eally <_<

SirAlexTheFirst (1:13:50 AM): I was thinking of running game

SirAlexTheFirst (1:14:06 AM): People seem to be getting kicked from AIM left and right and stuff though

SirAlexTheFirst (1:14:12 AM): Y'all want game?

AndrewRogue (1:14:16 AM): Yea!

coughingpuppy (1:14:27 AM): I'm fine with game, though I'll probably be just watching for tonight.

Adm H Sopko (1:15:30 AM): Now that I'm on my good ol' reliable home line, getting kicked from AIM ain't happening

Adm H Sopko (1:15:56 AM): And since I just woke up, little danger from sleep<G>

SirAlexTheFirst (1:16:05 AM): Don'

AndrewRogue (1:16:14 AM): I, yeah, ain't doing anything tomorrow so sleep doesn't matter.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:16:18 AM): t get cocky, Soppy. AIm is kicking everyone from everywhere tonight.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:16:29 AM): But we shall go then.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:16:36 AM): ~~~~~~~~~~~

SirAlexTheFirst (1:16:39 AM): BEGIN

SirAlexTheFirst (1:16:43 AM): ~~~~~~~~~~~~

coughingpuppy (1:17:00 AM): Aurelia is...not there.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:17:16 AM): Aurelia has vanished.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:17:23 AM): Verity has wandered off.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:17:50 AM): This leaves Aria, Bandon, and Hunter alone with the odd being claiming to be Nellix.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:18:44 AM): He's been answering your questions, and waits for more.

AndrewRogue (1:18:47 AM): *is sort of sitting in a weird, half slouch, somewhere between bowing, relaxing and being very, very confused*

AndrewRogue (1:20:33 AM): (What were the last questions you asked anyway Sopko? I dozed off at that point...)

Adm H Sopko (1:21:02 AM): (Lemme check)

Adm H Sopko (1:21:58 AM): (Who the girl I met was, how the pillars are connected...)

Adm H Sopko (1:22:39 AM): (Bandon asked who the sleeping girl was, the answer was the sister of the girl I met)

Adm H Sopko (1:23:08 AM): (He also asked about Master Voegtlin. He freed the girl who now wanders)

Adm H Sopko (1:23:29 AM): (That was it)

AndrewRogue (1:24:21 AM): "What... what brought you here Mister... Sir... ah, Nellix?"

coughingpuppy (1:24:26 AM): ((I still can't believe you used "Voegtlin" for a character name, Alex...))

SirAlexTheFirst (1:25:15 AM): (I shouldn't tell you about Queen Lewandowski, then.)

coughingpuppy (1:25:23 AM): ((...))

SirAlexTheFirst (1:25:33 AM): (Juuust kidding)

Adm H Sopko (1:25:35 AM): (There were two girls named Lewandowski in my school)

Adm H Sopko (1:25:41 AM): (High school)

coughingpuppy (1:25:47 AM): ((It's like the Smith of Poland...we're all over the place.))

SirAlexTheFirst (1:27:03 AM): Nellix replies easily, "I came to deal with the people who came from another world, killed a village, stole magic from me, and such forth."\

Adm H Sopko (1:27:39 AM): "What is going to happen to them?"

AndrewRogue (1:30:43 AM): (What happened last night, that's what...)

SirAlexTheFirst (1:31:52 AM): "That's up to them, and not particularly your business, I'm afraid."

AndrewRogue (1:32:08 AM): (And while I'm at it...) "Stole magic? Do you... what do you mean?"

(1:33:25 AM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.

Sarcazmo47 (1:33:33 AM): My AIM broke!

AndrewRogue (1:33:42 AM): (Kirk's back!)

coughingpuppy (1:33:48 AM): ((AIM blows like that.))

Sarcazmo47 (1:33:53 AM): What did I miss while I was fighting my computer?

SirAlexTheFirst (1:33:59 AM): "Also not really your business. Ask Aurelia about it if you're really interested, assuming she agrees to come back."

AndrewRogue (1:34:20 AM): "I... I'm sorry...)

AndrewRogue (1:34:41 AM): *I didn't mean to... to pry."

SirAlexTheFirst (1:35:31 AM): Nellix laughs a bit. "Don't worry, no harm done. I won't answer much about other people, though. There's this concept called privacy."

AndrewRogue (1:35:46 AM): (Game started. We're talking to Nellix. Resuming questioning.)

AndrewRogue (1:37:58 AM): "I... I understand."

Sarcazmo47 (1:38:26 AM): Bandon murmurs at this point. "My lord.....perhaps I am mistaken. But...why has Aria, and Hunter, and all ther rest, been called to this task, if it is, in fact, your task?"

SirAlexTheFirst (1:40:25 AM): "Don't call me lord. And what do you mean by that? Why them, specifically? Why anyone? Or why this task?"

Adm H Sopko (1:41:43 AM): ::Listens closely to this onwe::

Sarcazmo47 (1:42:00 AM): Bandon spreads his arms apologetically. "I am sorry, then. But you are master of the powers of this world, and thus, in point of fact, lord of the world. But yes, I mean all of those things."

SirAlexTheFirst (1:46:59 AM): (Sorry, folks, I'm helping Brent look up stuff for installing his new motherboard at the same time)

AndrewRogue (1:47:08 AM): (No problem)

(1:49:50 AM) AndrewRogue has left the room.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:50:06 AM): "I

SirAlexTheFirst (1:50:08 AM): guh

(1:50:19 AM) AndrewRogue has entered the room.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:50:53 AM): "Because."

AndrewRogue (1:51:20 AM): *chuckles... somewhat uneasily*

Sarcazmo47 (1:52:24 AM): "Because that is the answer? Or because we may not know?"

Adm H Sopko (1:52:46 AM): ::Also chuckles:: "Does that question really matter? The fact of the matter is, we're here now... It's up to ourselves to find our own reasons for being here..."

SirAlexTheFirst (1:53:28 AM): "Your question has no single answer. It's the right thing to do."

Sarcazmo47 (1:55:35 AM): "I know the reason I am here, Hunter. It is the reasons that the lord of the earth, and Gabriel and Tiyriel, and Luthien, and all the rest, have that I'm curious about." He pauses and takes a deep breath.

Sarcazmo47 (1:56:42 AM): "When it comes down to it, I know very little - certainly far less than you, my lord. So if what you do with these people is the right thing to do in your eyes, I cannot question it. But I would like, if it is possible,

Sarcazmo47 (1:56:47 AM): to understand it."

SirAlexTheFirst (1:58:25 AM): Nellix considers this for a moment. "The five pillars need to be toppled, mainly because they represent threats to Amaryllis and its people. You guys get the job. That's really about it."

Adm H Sopko (1:59:07 AM): ::Chuckles:: "It's like some demented lottery..."

AndrewRogue (2:03:15 AM): "And... have we... have we even toppled one of the pillars yet?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:04:34 AM): "That's a bit hairier of a question. Short answer is no, but that doesn't mean anything."

Sarcazmo47 (2:05:43 AM): "Then, my lord, what pillars remain...and what need we do to topple them?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:07:07 AM): "Stop calling me that. They're all around, and finding out how to topple them is part of your job, and your choice. Violence, diplomacy, redemption... up to you."

Adm H Sopko (2:09:37 AM): ::Sighs:: "Are you sure that Arryx was not a pillar we needed to topple?"

AndrewRogue (2:10:53 AM): *at the name 'Arryx' she jumps slightly, her eyes widening as she remembers something*

SirAlexTheFirst (2:10:59 AM): "Are you sure Arryx is toppled?"

Adm H Sopko (2:11:17 AM): ::He groans softly:: "I was afraid you were going to say that..."

AndrewRogue (2:15:03 AM): "Hunter... what was it... what was it that Arryx called me?"

Adm H Sopko (2:15:58 AM): "Your last name, pretty much, then called you a demonspawn... that was kind of childish, really..."

AndrewRogue (2:17:48 AM): "That... that's not my last name Hunter..." *she looks up at Nellix* "My patron... my former patron... she was the first one to call me Lanathan... and Arryx as well... Lanathan... what does it mean?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:19:05 AM): "It means whatever you make it mean."

SirAlexTheFirst (2:20:37 AM): (I'm, uh, back now)

Adm H Sopko (2:20:53 AM): "You love ambiguous answers, don't you?"

Sarcazmo47 (2:21:01 AM): Bandon blinks. "And what, then, should they do?

AndrewRogue (2:21:03 AM): "That... it isn't much of an answer." *she looks slightly edgy* "Was Arryx... was he just being spiteful when he said that... that I was Demonspawn... that he had... had my blood in his grasp?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:21:42 AM): Nellix sighs. "I suppose you want more than that. They were insinuating that you are a descendant of Lanathandar and Nividea."

SirAlexTheFirst (2:23:11 AM): "He was lying about having your blood in his grasp, certainly."

AndrewRogue (2:24:40 AM): "Lanathandar... one of the Warriors of Hope? And... Nividea?" (Unless that part of the legend/story is common or what not)

SirAlexTheFirst (2:25:43 AM): "Yes, them. You know the story?"

AndrewRogue (2:27:01 AM): "Somewhat, its... I haven't read it in a long time... I, I don't recall much about Nividea though."

SirAlexTheFirst (2:27:39 AM): "Lan's wife. A succubus. They kept to themselves."

AndrewRogue (2:30:05 AM): *she laughs uneasily* "That's ridiculous then. My family is of... we're nothing special, definitely not descendents of a Warrior of Hope. Arryx, he was being foolish. Thank you, I... I feel much better." *doesn't look so*

SirAlexTheFirst (2:31:48 AM): Sense Motive.

*OnlineHost* (2:31:58 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 2

AndrewRogue (2:32:09 AM): Bluff I suppose...

*OnlineHost* (2:32:17 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 15

SirAlexTheFirst (2:32:26 AM): If you're bluffing

AndrewRogue (2:33:03 AM): She's fibbing about being relieved, but that's all.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:33:16 AM): Total.... lemme go look it up.

AndrewRogue (2:33:35 AM): Some how I think he penetrates it :p

Sarcazmo47 (2:33:49 AM): How many ranks in Bluff did you have?

Sarcazmo47 (2:33:56 AM): 0? Right.

AndrewRogue (2:34:02 AM): 0. Aria's skill is Diplomacy :p

SirAlexTheFirst (2:34:02 AM): Mmyeah.

Sarcazmo47 (2:34:50 AM): What was the total there, Alex?

SirAlexTheFirst (2:34:53 AM): "Everyone is special. You did get picked for this task, after all. But, as Hunter said, does it matter?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:35:30 AM): (You don't really want to know, Kirk)

AndrewRogue (2:35:56 AM): "I didn't mean it in that manner... but... yes, you're right. It doesn't matter."

Adm H Sopko (2:36:09 AM): ::Nods::"Trust me, guys... worrying over why they picked you never leads anywhere... it was on my mind from the beginning until... well... just about now... but I guess I realized something in the time between meeting Verity

Adm H Sopko (2:36:40 AM): and now..."

SirAlexTheFirst (2:37:31 AM): Several chairs appear inconspicuously in the hallway, and Nellix takes one of them and sits down.

Sarcazmo47 (2:39:45 AM): Several chairs appear inconspicuously in the hallway

Sarcazmo47 (2:39:50 AM): Do they now?

Sarcazmo47 (2:40:09 AM): Very inconspicuous, those teleporting chairs, dontchaknow.

AndrewRogue (2:40:23 AM): *she kinda just stares at'em... gods(If this is...) still make her uncomfortable.*

Adm H Sopko (2:40:50 AM): "Even if they had reasons for picking you... does that really matter if you don't want to go? It was your choice to come, chosen or not... I remembered, very clearly... I had a choice. I have a choice now... and I'm choosing

Adm H Sopko (2:40:53 AM): to continue"

Sarcazmo47 (2:41:54 AM): Bandon shakes his head. "What seems curious to me, though, is simply this. You came here to eliminate Verity and his ally as a threat to the people of Amaryillis, correct?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:43:20 AM): "Yes. One way or another."

Sarcazmo47 (2:45:32 AM): "Then why here and now with them, and not with all the threats that you can see that we cannot?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:47:28 AM): Come again?

Sarcazmo47 (2:48:32 AM): Why is he here to take out Verity and Aurelia when there are all these other threats out there that he hasn't taken such a personal involvement in?

SirAlexTheFirst (2:50:04 AM): "Because Verity and Aurelia are special. It's not every day that people from another world arrive. In fact, it's almost never happened before. Also, they are important and powerful in their own rights."

SirAlexTheFirst (2:50:18 AM): "Furthermore, you came here and asked me to, although you don't remember it."

Sarcazmo47 (2:52:19 AM): Bandon blinks. "I...did?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:53:04 AM): "Further still, who says I'm not out there dealing with such things, if they indeed exist?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:54:13 AM): "And further STILL, it is not wise for me to personally deal with every problem that arises. Not even every major one."

Adm H Sopko (2:55:44 AM): ::Another chuckle:: "I guess humans need to pull their weight too"

AndrewRogue (2:56:09 AM): *she smiles at that*

Sarcazmo47 (2:56:46 AM): Bandon just shrugs at that. "And you are wiser than any of us. If Aria and Hunter and their companions are needed, then....can you tell them where they are needed? Or what needs to be done?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:56:50 AM): "Not exactly. But we'll leave it at that."

SirAlexTheFirst (2:57:07 AM): That was to the previous comment.]

SirAlexTheFirst (2:57:52 AM): "Topple the pillars, wherever they go."

Sarcazmo47 (3:01:07 AM): "Then what are they? And where are they? And what do they need to topple them?"

Adm H Sopko (3:02:08 AM): ::Lets this circular Q&A by just once more::

AndrewRogue (3:02:46 AM): "It would be helpful to know more... we've been, just sort of wandering."

SirAlexTheFirst (3:02:48 AM): "Those are things you need to find out. I'm not going to tell you the exact answers, for several reasons."

SirAlexTheFirst (3:03:52 AM): "At the moment? I would advise going to either Whittyre or Asgard, or somewhere else that strikes your fancy."

Sarcazmo47 (3:05:59 AM): Bandon nods. And goes to start up the stairs.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:07:11 AM): Nellix calls after him, "Come back and sit down. I have questions for you, now."

Sarcazmo47 (3:07:38 AM): Bandon stops and blinks. "Yes, my lord?"

SirAlexTheFirst (3:08:24 AM): "Stop calling me that." He looks over to Aria and Hunter. "Any more questions for me, before we begin?"

Adm H Sopko (3:09:01 AM): ::Rolls his eyes at Bandon's continual use of that phrase. I mean, it's not like Hunter has no respect, but he'll oblige someone's request when they ask of them:: "I guess if you can't answer the ones I did ask at the moment,

Adm H Sopko (3:09:03 AM): I'm fine."

AndrewRogue (3:09:22 AM): "No... at least, I don't have anymore."

Sarcazmo47 (3:09:42 AM): ((Bandon is passive. This is as angry as he gets.))

SirAlexTheFirst (3:11:02 AM): "Well, then. What do you want?"

Adm H Sopko (3:11:57 AM): :What do we want... with what?"

SirAlexTheFirst (3:12:09 AM): "In general."

Sarcazmo47 (3:13:25 AM): Bandon flicks his eyes to Aria, then back to Nellix.

AndrewRogue (3:15:23 AM): "I... I'm not sure anymore."

AndrewRogue (3:15:52 AM): (Hmmm, spot to see eye adjustment? That'd be a tough check...)

*OnlineHost* (3:16:17 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 8

Sarcazmo47 (3:17:07 AM): Um, he's not exactly being sneaky.

Sarcazmo47 (3:17:17 AM): On the other hand, Aria is not the most observant person in the world.

AndrewRogue (3:17:57 AM): Oh, I simply interpret eye flicking as a subtle gesture. <_<

SirAlexTheFirst (3:18:26 AM): "What would you be doing if I told you all your services were no longer required?"

Adm H Sopko (3:19:25 AM): ::He thinks, reflecting back on things:: "I'd... probably still have to do something... I have to earn my way back into the Yarovan somehow. Mr. Scarlett offered, and I WILL make it back in, one way or another..."

Adm H Sopko (3:19:48 AM): (::Paints the "Mr." a "Vice President":: )

Sarcazmo47 (3:20:07 AM): ((Those are some mad photoshop skills, Soppy.))

AndrewRogue (3:20:13 AM): (Heh.)

Adm H Sopko (3:20:33 AM): (Damn skippy)

Sarcazmo47 (3:21:27 AM): The corner of Bandon's mouth sneaks upward a bit. "I would follow my heart."

SirAlexTheFirst (3:22:58 AM): "Good answers. And you, Aria?"

AndrewRogue (3:25:50 AM): *she smiles softly at hearing Bandon* "I... I'm not sure. I think, I think I might extend my travels a little more if I must..."

AndrewRogue (3:28:56 AM): (Sorry about that, had an attack of the slowness there) "...time to... to discover myself I suppose."

SirAlexTheFirst (3:31:23 AM): "I see. Good answers."

AndrewRogue (3:35:19 AM): "Why do you want to know?"

Sarcazmo47 (3:35:40 AM): ((Oh, I'm just obsessively curious. You know how it is.))

SirAlexTheFirst (3:35:43 AM): "Curious. Ask Aurelia, when she comes back."

Sarcazmo47 (3:35:58 AM): ((BAM! CALLED IT!))

SirAlexTheFirst (3:36:27 AM): "And... what will you do now, after today's events?"

Adm H Sopko (3:37:11 AM): "I'll keep going with this. I've come this far, after all..."

Sarcazmo47 (3:37:17 AM): "What I have been doing, and will continue to do regardless."

AndrewRogue (3:37:40 AM): "The only thing I can... keep going."

SirAlexTheFirst (3:38:42 AM): "Ah, but in what way?"

AndrewRogue (3:40:31 AM): "I... I suppose we should speak with the Marquis or who knows what he'll do... Then, we take your suggestion and go somewhere to lok for pillars to topple."

Adm H Sopko (3:41:00 AM): ::Simply nods with Aria, not seeing any problem with that::

SirAlexTheFirst (3:42:09 AM): "No, no. How will you all personally continue?"

AndrewRogue (3:42:53 AM): *she looks at him questioningly* "I... don't understand."

Adm H Sopko (3:43:11 AM): "You mean, why will we continue on?"

SirAlexTheFirst (3:44:53 AM): "No. How. Are you going to continue trying to become a leader? A fighter?"

Adm H Sopko (3:45:52 AM): ::After a few moments of serious thought, he nods:: "Yes... I still have a long way to go."

AndrewRogue (3:47:23 AM): "I... I really don't know anymore."

SirAlexTheFirst (3:49:59 AM): "And you, Bandon?"

Sarcazmo47 (3:50:05 AM): (("And you, Bandon. Will you continue your dream of the life of a porn star?"))

Sarcazmo47 (3:50:14 AM): "What of me?"

SirAlexTheFirst (3:51:16 AM): "Will you continue your dream of the... heh, well. Will you just stay in the service of Summer?"

Sarcazmo47 (3:52:14 AM): Bandon smiles. "I believe in Love. And She stands for it, so I serve her."

Adm H Sopko (3:53:39 AM): (Bandon = Bandiger)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:53:46 AM): "So you'

SirAlexTheFirst (3:53:53 AM): re just going to keep on trucking?"

Sarcazmo47 (3:54:34 AM): Bandon looks slightly confused by that, but manages a nod. "Why would I not?"

SirAlexTheFirst (3:57:10 AM): Nellix nods. "I'll leave you all alone, then."

SirAlexTheFirst (4:00:33 AM): He stands up and turns around, and walks down the corridor, gradually vanishing from sight even as Aurelia appears in front of you again.

Sarcazmo47 (4:01:05 AM): Wham bam thank you ma'am.

Adm H Sopko (4:01:21 AM): ::Smirks as he leaves, it slowly turning into a small smile:: "Give my regards to Lester..." ::He then turns to the rest of the group:: "So..."

Sarcazmo47 (4:01:30 AM): One last character to deal with for Nellix, then.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:04:10 AM): Nellix's parting words float down to the people there - a short murmer as he vanishes. "Manus celer dei. We chose well."

SirAlexTheFirst (4:04:37 AM): End that part.

Sarcazmo47 (4:05:34 AM): Hands of God?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:07:48 AM): I think that's all for tonight. Too tired to do Verity's stuff.

AndrewRogue (4:08:18 AM): Heh.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:09:02 AM): XP

SirAlexTheFirst (4:09:21 AM): 10,000 for Hunter and Bandon.

AndrewRogue (4:09:41 AM): Oh, la-la.

Sarcazmo47 (4:09:54 AM): For......what?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:10:14 AM): Cumulative for the whole last several sessions

Sarcazmo47 (4:10:22 AM): Well, I won't argue

SirAlexTheFirst (4:10:30 AM): You know, the RP, trashing Arryx, etc

SirAlexTheFirst (4:10:33 AM): Not Dying

Sarcazmo47 (4:10:42 AM): Hey, I'm not arguing.

Sarcazmo47 (4:11:16 AM): *takes his first level of Apostle Of Peace*

Adm H Sopko (4:11:33 AM): ::Takes his next level of Fighter::

SirAlexTheFirst (4:11:54 AM): Questions and comments welcome as always.

Sarcazmo47 (4:12:01 AM): What about Aria?

coughingpuppy (4:12:19 AM): And me?

AndrewRogue (4:12:56 AM): <_<

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:02 AM): o_O

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:04 AM): Staci

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:05 AM): Alive

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:06 AM): What

coughingpuppy (4:13:10 AM): Yes, I am.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:19 AM): You're not appearing in the chat room list

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:22 AM): for me at least

AndrewRogue (4:13:34 AM): That's interesting...

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:34 AM): I thought you went to bed

coughingpuppy (4:13:36 AM): *blink* Hm. Probably because I haven't said anything in the chat for so long...

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:41 AM): No, AIM

Sarcazmo47 (4:13:42 AM): She's sneaky.

coughingpuppy (4:13:43 AM): No, I was watching while multitasking.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:45 AM): s just screwy tonight.

Adm H Sopko (4:13:57 AM): ::Takes his Improved Critical feat, and adds a point to STR::

SirAlexTheFirst (4:14:04 AM): There is no idle feature in chat rooms.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:14:11 AM): Anyways

SirAlexTheFirst (4:14:16 AM): Aurelia doesn

SirAlexTheFirst (4:14:20 AM): t get any XP right now

coughingpuppy (4:14:25 AM): Mrrrr? Okay.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:14:29 AM): She's already level 10.

*OnlineHost* (4:14:44 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 2 10-sided dice: 9 5

*OnlineHost* (4:14:57 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 4-sided dice: 2 4

Adm H Sopko (4:14:59 AM): 12 shiny new XP

SirAlexTheFirst (4:15:15 AM): What

SirAlexTheFirst (4:15:19 AM): I said 10,000

SirAlexTheFirst (4:15:22 AM): Not 10,012

AndrewRogue (4:15:27 AM): XD

Sarcazmo47 (4:15:38 AM): Don't even TELL me that Verity isn't gonna get any XP.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:15:53 AM): Verity has yet to finish his scee

SirAlexTheFirst (4:15:55 AM): *scene

Adm H Sopko (4:15:57 AM): HP evebn

SirAlexTheFirst (4:16:11 AM): As for Aria

coughingpuppy (4:16:12 AM): And I had that whole long individual with Nellix...but I guess I can deal with it since she is a few levels ahead.

Sarcazmo47 (4:16:13 AM): Yeah, that's right. You don't want to make Kirk cry, now do you?

AndrewRogue (4:16:17 AM): And lo, spelling was slaing.

Sarcazmo47 (4:16:32 AM): A few levels of....nothing....

AndrewRogue (4:16:39 AM): >_< Slain. Damnit, I can't even spell anymore.

coughingpuppy (4:16:54 AM): Levels of nothing that will hopefully eventually be levels of something.

Sarcazmo47 (4:17:05 AM): You can hope.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:17:10 AM): What exactly is Aria going to take levels in now anyways?

Sarcazmo47 (4:17:30 AM): Fighter!

Sarcazmo47 (4:17:33 AM): Blackguard!

AndrewRogue (4:18:40 AM): Boo, Alex caught me <_< Aria's still in limbo and it looks like Fighter is where she goes. Aside from Paladin (and Pyschic Warrior :p) there isn't really anything/anywhere she belongs.

Sarcazmo47 (4:19:39 AM): Everybody should have a couple of Fighter levels.

coughingpuppy (4:19:59 AM): If Aurelia had fighter levels she wouldn't be as useless right now.

Sarcazmo47 (4:20:06 AM): Exactly.

AndrewRogue (4:20:23 AM): Fighter levels, good at all times. ^_^

SirAlexTheFirst (4:20:34 AM): Aria answered Nellix with "I don't know"

AndrewRogue (4:21:37 AM): Hah!

SirAlexTheFirst (4:21:57 AM): Anyways.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:22:07 AM): Questions and comments?

Sarcazmo47 (4:22:43 AM): I'm supereager for my scene.

Sarcazmo47 (4:22:54 AM): I would bounce, but I'll leave that to Staci.

Adm H Sopko (4:22:58 AM): None, really. I'm kicking myself that I forgot two questions I wanted to ask though

AndrewRogue (4:23:04 AM): Fun-ness as always. ^_^

SirAlexTheFirst (4:23:22 AM): I can't picture Kirk bouncing.

coughingpuppy (4:23:27 AM): Yeah, me either.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:23:50 AM): He's more of the type to go "YAAAA!!!!" and flail around in place wildly.

AndrewRogue (4:24:04 AM): ...that's an image.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:24:47 AM): Hunter forgot questions?

Adm H Sopko (4:25:48 AM): Yeah.

Adm H Sopko (4:26:00 AM): They're pretty minor though

SirAlexTheFirst (4:26:16 AM): Ask away, we can say you asked them

Adm H Sopko (4:26:41 AM): First one is what really happened to make the bridge collapse.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:28:17 AM): "I don't know. That's all. Don't torture yourself over it."

Adm H Sopko (4:28:52 AM): ::Sighs gently, then takes out the crystal rose:: "The Marquis wanted this because of what it could do... what else can it do?"

SirAlexTheFirst (4:30:59 AM): "The rose itself? Not much, it's just an unusually strong crystal lattice with absorbative properties. It's the fluid it's absorbed that's interesting."

Adm H Sopko (4:31:33 AM): "The HUNTER's blood?"

SirAlexTheFirst (4:32:19 AM): "I'm rather proud of that, actually, but I can't tell you what exactly is in it. It is the core of their lifeforce."

Adm H Sopko (4:32:49 AM): "Well... whats in it isn't the question. What can it do? Would more people be after me knowing I had this?"

(4:33:51 AM) coughingpuppy has left the room.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:34:36 AM): "Not really. Very few people know of it, and fewer still have any use forwhat they believe it can do. The unfortunate Master Rosa is almost the only one."

Adm H Sopko (4:35:43 AM): "What can it really do then?"

SirAlexTheFirst (4:37:11 AM): "Give life... and take it. Rather dangerous if abused. You should be fine simply carrying the rose, though."

Adm H Sopko (4:37:25 AM): ::Nods:: "Alright."

Adm H Sopko (4:42:09 AM): And thats it<G>

AndrewRogue (4:45:54 AM): Well then... I'm sleepy. I need to decide where Aria is going with her life. So, I think that's it for me tonight ^_^

SirAlexTheFirst (4:46:03 AM): Good night, then

Adm H Sopko (4:46:21 AM): Later

AndrewRogue (4:46:30 AM): Adios.

(4:46:33 AM) AndrewRogue has left the room.
